Roll Necks

I noticed that post in Will's blog yesterday. There is definitely a trend here. I suspect that unless the cashmere is thin his outfit will be very warm. It looks from the photo as if he has it tucked in his trousers which is not a look I would go for.

He looks great. I agree with you though, the top looks tucked in and the pants go up forever. Suits his age though, he probably has 30 years on me.

Yes (Herning). Not this one, but he sells the brand. This one was from a German store: www.hrvst.de.

Cool site, might get a couple of knits; I already have like 3 rollnecks (2 from YMC, 1 from P.Pecora), but wanted to get a couple of more. Thought of getting some off of MR.P or farfetch, but will look into this site aswell. I especially like how Faucault had a sweetspot for them, truly a timeless classic.

Has anyone stumbled on a heavy cashmere roll neck? I have only seen some 1 and 2 ply ones. And doesn't the lambs woll ones scratch too much and gets annoying, or is it just a question of getting used to it?

Thanks MoL, that looks like just the thing I am looking for. Chunky with an interesting knit. I will look for it. If anyone else have any suggestions though, please write.

I have this in a royal purple color, but can hardly ever wear it as it is too warm.

It's freezing in Denmark right now, so that won't be a problem. Do you have a name or number to identify the sweater?

I can't seem to find this on the RL website. Does anyone know where else to look for it, or know what it is called so I can Google it?

Will's Fisherman's Knit is 10% cashmere 90% merino. http://store.asuitablewardrobe.net/fishermansknitSweater.aspx

I have my merino roll-neck on now and do not find it scratchy.

On this site one like the above is listed as Polo rather than PL http://www.lyst.com/clothing/polo-ralph-lauren-grey-hand-knit-cashmere-turtleneck-gray-1/

^That looks nice too. I hate to buy from outside the EU though, with customs and all.

Fwiw, I have a couple of LL Bean Signature cashmere turtlenecks, and have been very happy with them. Certainly not as spiffy as Inis Meain or RLPL, but quite nice (particularly for the price) - currently $85 on sale w/ free US shipping:

Wow, that's a great price indeed. How is the fit?

Pretty good - not as slim as SNS Herning, but fairly tapered. This is their Signature line, which is more contemporary.

Given that its LL Bean, returns and exchanges are stress-free.
