What size did u get G, large?

[Giles]

Yep….

[pillowPANTS]

Great, now i now they wont fit me fer feck sakes lol

[junglo]

I did consider Andersen-Andersen, it looks seriously heavy-duty. I decided to get a custom handknit instead.

[derivative666]

I want one if these badly. G would I fit in an xl?

[Giles]

I think so.  The L is good on me…...Wore it to the beach yesterday - amazingly warm under a Patagucci Torrent Shell

Hey mate, I take an L in IH shirts and the Medium in this fits perfectly. You won't find a better knit anywhere.

Who stocks?

[bertoni]

Unionmade are the only ones I know stateside. Volks in Europe. There's a list of stockists on the Anderson site. Now one of these would keep you warm(er) this winter mate

[Giles]

Get it shipped to me, I'll ship it to you with your next purchase…..And that applies to any of you.....

[mclaincausey]

Will do. I looked at all the US stockists and didn't see anything I wanted. Thanks much!

[bertoni]

Can heartily recommend Volks…even get a few sweets with your purchase

[Finn666]

i think you mean voLLs instead of voLKs

[bertoni]

Err yeah that'd be the one! Thanks Finn

You guys are killing me. I've gone completely wool jumper made lately, and these look wonderful.  There's a size chart on the Oi Polloi website, if that helps anyone. No idea if it's accurate or not, but here are the roll neck measurments:

Size                   Pit To Pit Back Arms Shoulders
Small                   21.0   26.0 19.0     16.0
Medium             22.0        26.5 19.5     17.0
Large                   23.0   27.0 19.7    18.0
X-Large             24.0   27.5 20.0     19.0

Sadly I'd probably need it to be 25" pit to pit. Saved some money though, I suppose!

Any advice on sizing?  I have both M and L in IH shirts, both fit, one a bit small one a bit large but both are do-able.  Should I go with a L or M, looking for a fisherman sweater.

Thanks, Nick

I'm always M in IH shirts, I ordered a M AA sweater and it was way to big, sent it back.
hope this helps.

I'm an L in IH Westerns and Workshirts (mostly) and fit perfectly in an M with A&A.
Their stuff is really heavy and durable, on the other hand stays in shape perfectly - love it.

If you're looking for a Fisherman Sweater keep in mind that it's knitted symetrically, so you might end up having an bulge on your chest.

Cheers
Peter

Stumbled across this and thought it looked a pretty good (cheaper) alternative.
