Jii's search of that perfect heather grey crewneck sweater

[Jii]

Hell no. A man has to have a code. In all seriousness, I've had plenty of sweaters in other colors than grey but it's the grey ones that get used. I'm in the process of perfecting (and simplifying) my wardrobe so that it includes only items that I wear. Everything else goes.

Sweet, well I whole heatedly recommend it, in navy.

That Pike top looks pretty good, although going by the size chart they seem pretty big - I'm a 43" chest (XL in IH shirts), and it looks like even a Medium would be quite a loose cut?

@Jii:

That Pike Brothers shirt does look pretty good. I'll check it out because I can probably get it locally.

Looks like Pinkomo has those in stock

Yeah they are European true to size, alien concept on this place, but si true to size.  I'm a 44 chest and XL is spot on. Thick, dark blue and ruly badass, and what about that price?

[tmg]

Cool, thanks for the sizing help, think I'll go for the grey one, and yes, the price is very reasonable

[Jii]

Ended up with the Buzz Rickson sweater. Couldn't get any more perfect for me. Mission accomplished!

[gratefulmelon]

What size did you go with? Just wondering as I think we're about the same size in tops.

[Jii]

XXL.

The Buzz Rickson crewnecks are pretty sweet, but I have to say I like my pre 2011 one a lot more than the "revised" fit.  Fabric is a little more substantial and I think the cut is better for layering under the sweatshirt.  Both are great though… so comfy and squishy

Best sweat for under £100?
