Which do you hate least?

[ysc]

I was reading Monocle on the train and I saw a sleeveless cardigan/knit waistcoat and despite some part of me saying that looks really stupid the idea kind of stuck with me, and I wasn't to try it out as cheaply as possible. I haven't been able to find them cheaply except here: http://www.asos.com/Asosman/Asos-Sle...=20&sort=_None http://www.asos.com/Asosman/Asos-Kni...=20&sort=_None I will not be wearing them like the douche bags in the pictures, and I realise the quality is probably awful, but this is just an experiment. I sort of want to try one with a navy suit, but basically they are for with sports coats etc. Which one should I get? If you are against them both, what's an alternative?

I feel less hate for the second one.

The first as the second is far too short.

Length of 1st, with cut of 2nd.

The first one, although I'm not sure about the shawl colllar in a vest. But the second one is too short and definitely has some identity issues "Am I a waistcoat? Am I a vest?"

Yeah, this is about right. That said, I kind of hate them both.

Have you tried a real world shop? I picked one up Wed for not much at all. 10 Euros for the cardigan style. 5 Euro for the pullover style [no buttons]. I'm not going to say they will be staples but will be nice under the jacket on cool but not that cold days.

There are no real world shops where I am living at the moment, well I mean there is a butchers and a supermarket etc. but nothing that is of any use to me. What sort of shops have you seen them in? I have had a bit of a look last time I was in a city but didn't find anything along the lines I was thinking for less than ~ £100 which is too much for an item I sort of expect I won't actually end up liking. I guess I am going to think it over a bit more and maybe wait a bit, I may order the first because its so damn cheap, and they seem not to have my size in the second anyway. Thanks for the input everyone.

I don't remember how widely available they are here in Italy. I think they are in most clothing shops but I've tended to ignore them. I only picked them up because they got so cheap I figured why not.

If I were you I would go for the second one, I just think it has a less of a something grandpa would wear to it then the first one dose.
