Only if you're eating outdoors. During a storm.

I swear to god, if I see one of you at a Bergdorf party wearing one of these sweaters and huddled in a corner fearing a waiter bumping into you with a tray of champagne spaghetti with sauce and red wine I will throw you out a ******* window.

Whew. darn "savages"...

I am hoping Brown/Green Bull wool gansey and Charcoal Aran button neck in Small will do wonders this time. If not....then fark I need to find a body/arms stretching service....

or hoping for the wool to stretch overtime around the chest area...

On the plus side every size shows chest measurements of 102cm, so maybe I can just order a large? :hide:


What is your usual size? I am a small 40, and my M fits perfectly over just a tee. If you are on the larger side of 40, or intend to wear it over a shirt, L would probably work.

Thanks. I'm similar, a small 40; large 38. M on most items. I think L would be too loose in the chest for me , even over a shirt. But I appreciate your help! :)

I've had a couple of stinky Irish sweaters - I think that the wool is minimally processed (or at least processed in such a way that less lanolin is removed) - leaves the wool very water resistant and w/ a nice gamy smell....:nodding:

Completely true to size

Also, it stinks - something you guys should know

And it's scratchy



It smells great, don't listen to Greg.


Greg is a city boy. Pretty much it smells the way most wool sweaters smell. And it's only scratchy if you would describe your skin as "baby soft."
