Haha no a combination of weight loss and now working remotely permanently - just can't justify this many clothes anymore

Congratulations on the weight loss!

Have a lambswool shawl collar in a nice cocoa that I picked up from an archive sale last December. Size 40, new without tags. Never worn and need to clear out the closet. Feel free to make me an offer!

It's on the hanger just for the photo. Stored flat in its own bag.

Very nice piece. Ive always been a little confused at the sizing recommendations for these on the Drakes thread. does a 40 fit a normal size 40 chest? I have read conflicting info on it so am not sure.

In my experience a size bigger in the cardigans is often better - so a tagged 42 for a 40 chest - but it may be because I like them to look a little more slouchy

I'll second this observation if you like them slouchy. I have a 40 in cashmere and a Small in camelhair. They fit similarly (comfortably, not slouchy on me), and seem nearly the same size. Comparatively, I'm 5' 11" ~165+ with a good fit to Drake's 15.5 shirts and 36/38/small in other knitwear.

How soft are these?

 

[Sartyroialist]

How soft are these?

Cashmere = butter. Camel = supersoft. I have no experience w the wool.

 

[clemente21]

While we're on the subject of cardigans I also just put one up but in a larger size. I'd say the lambswool are soft and very comfortable but obviously they're not gonna be as soft as their cashmere ones.

Thanks! I've got a William Lockie Cardigan in Lambswool that can be a bit scratchy

pretty soft for lambswool, not scratchy at all

FWIW I'm 90% sure that WL makes these cardigans for Drake's so it should be the same thing

I'm inputting a price for every listing

EDIT: looks like the price only shows up in the public listing if I include my PayPal information in the listing itself (?)

In regard to sizing, if you go TTS or are on the border, it looks more like this. (side note: saved this image from StyleForum a while ago, no idea who it is).
