Here's one from Steven Alan. Not necessarily the one I'd get, I just really love these in general.

Right there with you. What does everyone think about a designer Cowichan versus a handmade one?

I want a simple (slim) v-neck cardigan to wear with a button-up but can't find anything I like that's near affordable, it's very disappointing. Guess I'll just have to wait for the sales

handmade conwichan is of course the way to go... why would anyone choose designer over handmade orginals?
Ive been looking for years, but ive only found used ones in pretty bad condition here. If you havent experienced these sweaters yourself, be prepared to freak out over how thick and heavy the wool knit is..

That's my problem, I can't find many that are in patterns that aren't super busy. Or when I do it's usually pilled beyond it's years, and has bits of Grandpa's drool and fruit cake crumbs lodged everywhere in between. Not to mention the smell. Good one's seem somewhat tough to find.
