Can someone pick me up some H&M V-Necks?

Could someone pick me up a navy or a dark gray v-neck sweater from H&M in size small. Someone told me their cardigans are around $30, so I am guessing that the v-neck sweaters would be similar. Nothing really heavy, just a lightweight sweater that I can throw over a dress shirt and tie...

You should be forewarned that their Vnecks, the merino wool at least, are thw worst you'll ever own. Mine pilled so bad it looked like fuzzy felt in mere weeks. I dont think I even washed it before it was useless.

Man, that sucks...

I just want a dark gray or navy v-neck sweater. I want to spend like $60. I have never had good luck with BR. I see one on Gap's website, but I don't want to spend $50 on a Gap sweater...

I looked at exactly that shirt in the Gap the other day (there's one downstairs from my office, so I browse quite often... don't buy very often I must say). Its really bad. Cotton, hoodie material, just more fine, so it looks a bit merino or cashmere, but nowhere near the hand of such a fabric.

I've found "shirt&tie" vnecks (lambswool, merino, etc) very difficult to find nowadays. I needed one in a pinch but there was nothing at the Usual Suspects (BR, Jcrew, etc) because all that stuff has been rotated out for this years linen shirts and madras shorts. I ended up finding a passable one at Filene's Basement.

Uniqlo is the way to go.

Could someone pick me up an Uniqlo "shirt & tie" appropiate v-neck for me?

I've been really happy with their more recent merino v-necks with the Dior Homme-esque ribbed cuffs. The fit is absolutely perfect sized one down, and the quality seems more than good enough for what one can expect for the price.
