Hate it, wear a turtleneck instead.

Also hate it, but I dislike mock necks with anything. I also don’t like turtlenecks for that matter.

Hahaha, I just realized I misunderstood and he didn't mention a polo-neck, I was making a bit of a cheeky comment on regional variations in language but I fell flat on my face.

I think it is one of those things you gotta try and it might just be completely fine and even cool, don't see a problem. I think @conceptual 4est likes mock-necks maybe he can chime in.

In my head, it's a nice in-between option between t-shirts with high collars, and a turtleneck. Possibly less sweaty than a full turtleneck.

Still frames the face and takes up some space.

Or it's going to be in no man's land and just look odd.

A turtleneck makes me look like a 1970s German terrorist, no thanks.

Same for me but that's a yes (more like Brigate Rosse but yeah). I don't condone leftist violence that is merely acting up and not a way to credibly take power but still it is a good look.

This book has fascinating pictures taken by one of the participants, but maybe hard to find:

ahorn books | Astrid Proll - Hans und Grete: Bilder der RAF 1967-1977

In Hans und Grete, Astrid Proll tries to reconstruct her memories of the Baader Meinhof and her role within it, through photographs and essays.

Note that Nazi intellectuals/terrorists like Franco Freda also wore turtlenecks and so did non-massacre minded citizens, it was just a 70s thing particularly popular with students and intellectuals.

yeah, this is exactly what I just wore for thanksgiving. It’s a thin merino mockneck and a very casual suit though.

I’ve also worn the same sweater but in a camel color with a burgundy corduroy suit and that felt pretty good.

bro your username is for the lovecraft crawling chaos. looking like a terrorist should be the least of your worries

I'd wear turtlenecks with sport costs for all the terrorist associations, but find them unbearably warm... even thin merino ones.

Awesome, thanks man, sounds like mocknecks will work just fine for me.

I think I'm going to try out a cotton jersey pair in black from Land's End.

I tried out a turtleneck from them and the design and material seemed surprisingly nice. Thin, but added stretch in the cuffs and neck rib. It did wear warm though.

Tbf I think while Kyle looks great he is wearing either a very beefy and high mockneck or more of a turtleneck. Most mocknecks are a more of a brushed t shirt weight and could look off with a suit, esp a winter weight one.

I don't care about any outdated political connotations, I just don't like the way they look. Then there is also the ex who'd buy me turtlenecks and then pester me as to why I don't wear them 👺

*honesty edit* As skiing underwear, a thin one like what @conceptual 4est is wearing are ace.
