What’s your take on the brushed Shetland? Which brands makes the best ones?
A comfy FW staple, must have raglan sleeves.I do not know.
>>18582842A great way for (you) to achive (you)r gaymaxxing goals
they look nice, but merino donegal is as visually interesting and you can wear a tshirt underneath, which I wouldn't do with shetland wool.
>>18582854Why no t shirt under shetland
Italian wool is softer
>>18582857Flat looking texture tho
>>18582842I picked one up from Howlin last year and really like it. Though they seemed to have doubled their prices since last year so there's probably options now.
Who sells a faded red one that is almost like nantucket red?As for olive I really like the one from Cavour. Will buy on the seasonal sale later this winter.
>>18582855Shetland wool is the itchy stuff. Very durable but most people won't enjoy direct skin contact.
>>18582860Yeah Italian wool has less 3D texture
>>18582950Does every zoomer faggot on this board have ass burgers syndrome or some other sensory disease? Is everyone autistic now?I've worn a Shaggy Dog from J Press over a tank top and been fine. Can you count cards at casinos to balance out your severe sensory disorder?
>>18582966@grok is wool itchy?
I have Drake’s and Harley of Scotland shetlands. They’re all great.
>>18582966>all wool is the sameretard
>>18582842a harley/bosie shetland over an oxford is pretty much my uniform throughout the fall and winter every year
>>18583159Same, or t shirt under for a more casual look
Same as my take on all sweaters: they’re a defunct relic from a bygone society. If you live anywhere it would make sense to even an own a sweater, there’s efficient indoor heating and outside is too cold for just a sweater anyway. Save your money and buy better shirts and coats.
>>18583133> comments on a thread about shetland sweaters> doesn't know what a J Press shetland wool Shaggy Dog isAbsolute fuckwit, what are you even doing here
>>18582842ive been wearing a harley shetland voe sweater for the last few years, its very comfy and a nice in between layer under a rain coat. the elbow is blown out from wear though sadly its a very fine weave
>>18583353retarded statement suggesting they are mutually exclusivet. nord living in frequent -30C
>>18583667Do you wear lopapeysur? It freaks me out that Nords can wear just a sweater out in the snow with no jacket, which debunks >>18583353
>>18583698I don't have a sweater exactly like that I layer woollen sweaters with thermal underwear (merinowool and viscose lining, very comfy), a buttoned shirt and then an outer coat or parka. I don't understand how some of my countrymen can go outside in the winter without a jacket of some kind, but I see it every now and then. Personally I hate freezing even a little bit to do that and I do enjoy layering anyway.
>>18583704I don't blame you for layering. I wear a lopapeysa with a jacket in 8* C weather where I live. It is impressive that some people can just be outside without a jacket.
>>18583353>outside is too cold for just a sweater anywaywhat on earth?! a wool sweater is literally the perfect outerwear garment for any outdoor activities and has been for centuries. what do you think every explorer or seafarer was wearing
>>18583698not the guy youre replying to but ive been wearing this lovely yoke patterned sweater for the last year and get tons of compliments from nice old grannies
>>18583353>efficient indoor heatingThe difference between sweater temperature and shirt temperature can save you quite a bit of money on heating though.>>18584032Wool sweaters are poor outerwear. Not windproof, not abrasion resistant. People used to wear them underneath more robust clothing (melton wool for example). In the modern day, they are kinda outclassed by synthetic garments. If you want to wear one as part of a layering system, I'd use a cardigan instead, makes for easier regulation and putting on/off.
>>18584069Wool is high frequency though. Healthier. Not recycled comdoms. Synthetic is good for shells and outer layer.
>>18584075>Wool is high frequency though.Pseudoscience>Not recycled comdoms.Doesn't happen - not that it would be a problem if it did.>HealthierMostly just comfier. Also creates less microplastic, so that's a (tiny) boon. But yes, I wouldn't wear a wool shell for serious outdoors either. They're not as waterproof, not as windproof, not as quick drying, not as durable. Synthetics are better.
>>18584080>I wouldn't wear a wool shell for serious outdoors either.You should try it at least once. I did and it kind of blew me away. A whole day of hiking in the rain, and I was comfy as a sheep at the end of it. Actually got rid of all my "functional" synthetic outdoor clothes after that, and I commute on a bicycle year-round. The only major downsides are weight and moths.
>>18584069Cardigans are womenswear, one of the few things that they didn't co opt from men.They were worn by women who couldn't wear pullover sweaters during the Belle Epoque era, because they had ridiculously high/big hairdos.
>>18584032Let me guess, you live in tropical latitudes.
>>18582950I have two and they feel remarkably different. One is much softer. It depends a lot on the quality of the yarn and how its spun/processed. Ofcourse its a bit rougher than merino but I wouldn't cannot it itchy. I like the textured look it offers over merino too.
>>18584586*wouldn't call it
>>18584387>The cardigan was named after James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, a British Army major general who led the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.[4] It is modelled after the knitted wool waistcoat that British officers supposedly wore during the war.Yeah.Either way, who cares outdoors. A cardigan can be opened at the front to regulate its warmth, that's what matters.>>18584085What was that garment?
