What's your favorite big sweater - something chunky and warm for very cold weather?

Mines are a John Molloy Aran crewneck in off-white, and also a zipped Armor Lux navy turttle neck in heavy wool.

A 'Made in Wales' (by whom?) Purdey six-ply cashmere turtleneck. It weighs over 4lbs and will stop even strong winds due to the density of the knit.

Other than that I've got a handful of slightly baggy Scottish cable-knits that are great for slouching around in.

I have a Holland & Holland sweater ... a rather wooly fair isle in olive green with accents of tan, rust, & navy. It has one horizontal of little rabbits on the run ... one might assume away from a hunter given the Holland & Holland connection.

I should not even be in here.

Surely you travel. And the occasional cold snap does come your way.
