I have a question for those with experience with Jamieson's Shetland Fair Isle knitwear that No Man Walks Alone sells. I am about to purchase one, but I am unsure about sizing as I have never had a 'full cut' sweater before - only regular plain 1-2 ply jumpers. At the moment I am comparing the measurements of my Suitsupply size M V-neck in merino wool and am really unsure about what size I should pick for the Jamieson's knit. I put the measurements of my Suitsupply knit in the Size Finder on the No Man Walks Alone site, but the results are inconclusive.
The measurements of my Suitsupply size M knit that fits me well in the body and the sleeves: body length - 68 cm/26.7 inches; chest - 52 cm/20.4 inches; sleeve length - 76 cm/29.9 inches.
The Size Finder suggests size 40 that is 1 cm tighter in the chest and 2 cm shorter - I might actually prefer this. However, the sleeves are a whopping 6 cm longer - the length of the Suitsupply ribbed cuff!
The locigal step would be to size down (size 38), but the chest would then be 4 cm tighter, which seems a bit much. It would also be 5 cm shorter, but that is also fine by me as I wear high rise trousers anyway so I would have to deal less with the annoying rolling. The sleeves would still be 2 cm longer, but that sounds a lot more managable. I am also a bit hesitant about the size 38 as it is their smallest size and I never wear S and lean towards M or M/L as S is simply too small for me.
So the main concerns are the chest width (will it be too tight?) and the sleeve length (will it be too long?).
I am 178.5 cm tall; with strong shoulders, slim, but athletic. My chest size is about 93 cm/36 inches;
Any feedback would be appreciated.
