Andersen-Andersen knitwear

[Bridger]

I have just received a Seaman. I haven’t worn it in anger yet, but so far I am happy. It feels much more durable than Merz b Schwanen merino sweater it is replacing, however it is not soft to the touch (and may even prove to be a little rough on the skin).

As JDelage pointed out, the symmetrical neck feels a bit odd - although perhaps that will be handy if I am in a rush

The Seaman appears to be the right pick for me rather than the Sailor. The Seaman feels like a good thickness for layering with a coat or vest, and it packs down pretty well for travel (smaller than a hoodie).

I am very glad I sized down – as they are a Danish brand and have viking sizing. Although, I was a little surprised it is made in Italy, which isn’t a bad thing.

Looks great (and warm) @Nik

@Nik like that a lot. Did you order direct from Denmark?

[Nik]

Thanks guys, got it from uk-based Oi Polloi

Looking great! I was eying this brand over the winter - maybe I'll jump on it next season.

@Nik - I read that these are super heavy and wear big? Thoughts?

[Nik]

Yeah I went with a small and I wear medium in Iron Heart for the most part. Peggs and Sons measurements seem accurate. It is a heavy knit for sure.

I'm easy an IH XL (sometimes and XXL depending on the shoulders) and I wear a L in Andersen.

@scarfmace - I am a IH S/M so will go for the S

[tody]

I just got myself one of these beasts.
Will surely keep me warm next week on the Dutch beach!

Just purchased the dark indigo full zip at Division Road for %20 off. For sure not going to be getting any wear for a few months but been eying this piece/Andersen for a while. Psyched!

[scarfmace]

great score!

@flannel-slut thanks a lot, now I have a blue A-A Navy 1/2 zip sweater on the way from Division Road

[flannel slut]

@mclaincausey my apologies and your welcome all wrapped into one!

[flannel slut]

It has arrived and it is glorious.

Looks super nice @flannel-slut . I’m still wondering whether to go for one…of course I missed the sale period .
How did you size (tag size) relative to your IH UHFs?

[mclaincausey]

That full zip is siiiick. I went half zip because I’m picturing this under a sport coat in winter business settings but I am a big layering guy and the full zip would be perfect for that.

[flannel slut]

@motojobobo thanks man! Had a little buyers remorse as this was an unexpected sale/purchase but immediately went away when I tried it on.
I’m in between sizes for UHFs but usually medium in the work cut and large in western. Went with a medium for the AA

[flannel slut]

@mclaincausey thank you! You are in for a treat when yours arrives. definitely lives up to the hype quality wise and love the fit in that the fabric has a good amount of give and hugs the wrists/forearms perfectly. Quarter zip under a blazer will look damn good for sure.
