If those Wardrobe Wimbledon ones are the ones I posted earlier, they looked to me the same as the Armoury or Lockie.
Does anyone have experience with the SCC's offered at Cordings?

You believe the WL is making them? How do you think they fit? They look great on a wooden doll, not sure if that's the case though .. I have the athletic build, going to gym and all that and prefer a more tailored look .. Had a issue with Scott Charters once - ordered a size 40 or 38 (I forgot), and received a shawl that felt 4 sizes too big with excess of material all over .. And that was their smallest size .. I understand these cardigans may be designed as and outwear item, but not sure how many guys could wear those smallest sizes .. And I am not short or skinny ..
Buying a classic shawl collar cardigan I'd look to the renowned Italian and British knitwear makers: Ballantyne, Pringle of Scotland, Drumohr, Roberto Collina, GRP, Malo...as you require it to be business casual appropriate chunky knit is out of the picture. You are looking at light to medium weight slim fitting cardigans knitted from finer yarns.
The storied Drumohr and Ballantyne were closing down, if not for the Italian investors. The new Drumohr and Ballantyne conflate tradition and innovation, create modern designs by Italian artisans using the best quality yarns sourced in Italy and the UK.Drumohr, Pringle, and Ballantyne aren't the storied names they once were. The factories that made them great have long been closed, and to the degree they exist now, they're owned by outside investors who have turned them in your run of the mill fashion brands. McGeorge is the same thing.
