John Scott Geelong Merino Wool Sweater (For Men)

I wear a 33-34 sleeve. The fit through the shoulders and sleeve length are perfect.

This item arrived today in the dark blue color. Consistent with the reviews given (thanks btw) it is best to order this about a size larger than the size you would normally buy in a suit. I wear a 44R suit. I bought this in a 46, and it is a good fit. Had I bought a 44, it would likely have been too small unless I was going for the sausage-casing look. This is a classic, well-made sweater produced by old-World European craftsmen. There is so much garbage being produced in sweatshops around the world with creative European-sounding brand names that it is just really refreshing to find an item that has some tradition to it. I will say that if I had bought this at the full price, or if I had seen this at the full price, I would have thought long and hard about buying it. At the full price one could find some very nice sweaters indeed. At the discounted price, this is a very nice alternative to the Shetland and lambswool sweaters on the market, very few of which really are Shetland, and even fewer of which are European made. The simplicity of the weave allows this to be mated with a wide variety of shirts and sportsjackets. Texture and patterns are nice, but they also complicate such issues. I am happy with the purchase, may consider buying another in a different color, but would certainly encourage you to buy if you have been looking at this item as I was for a long period of time.

Great quality but the Scots are clearly skinny folks - these sweaters run small, so order one size larger for comfort.

The fabric is really thin.

Color OK High quality,great buy
