@SaddleSC damn … see this is what I’m worried about. I’d say I have a slight sensitivity to wool so this is what I’m hoping to avoid.
I feel just a touch of this when I wear my N1 deck jacket, but it goes away after a few minutes …
At this price point, I’d love to be able to try one on in a store for a few minutes to see if it bothers me. Unfortunately there are no stock lists anywhere near me.
Smashing looking sweaters though … still might go for it lol.

@Brandrea I am sensitive to wool and I find Dehen extremely scratchy. Love the weight and warmth of the sweaters, but I have to wear a full sleeved undershirt to be able to make it through the day. Hoping with time and regular washing will tame it, but haven’t had much luck so far.

@Brandrea I’d suggest :
https://brooklynclothing.com/collections/sale?grid_list=grid-view&filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=And I have a 10% coupon that I can dm you.
Cheapest I’ve seen dehen with my research.

@stichdown-shell thanks for the offer. I’ve bought from them before so I have the coupon code here as well.
I’m going to check their return policy now … hate to be one of those guys, but I know if it feels itchy, I’m not going to wear it.
-
@tody looking now … thanks for the mention.

It certainly has to do with how they treat the wool.
Andersen Andersen claims to have some special process that makes it less itchy.
My wife has two Dehen wool sweaters, and they're pretty rough. I decided not to get one after she got hers.
I tried a Heimat sweater at the Heritage Post tradeshow, also too itchy for my taste.
Again, my wife has two different moto sweaters by A Piece Of Chic, and they are noticeably different from each other.
Wool is certainly a difficult subject... -

@Brandrea I just saw that Lost & Found carries Anderson Anderson. Back yard retailer and might be worth the drive
Too funny … I was just there last Thursday. I went specifically to try on the RMC J24 …. Beautiful jacket, but the new cut is quite boxy (for me). I always wanted to try one and glad I did … but when I looked in the mirror I thought Brian, you’re trying too hard lol.
FWIW they told me that there will be a price increase on tne J 24 this fall (3100 now going to 4000).
I will definitely get down there again and have a look at the Anderson Anderson, Thanks!

@Brandrea If you have any sensitivity to wool whatsoever, you will hate the Dehen. If you are still determined to give it a shot, another option is to look on Grailed for a like-new preowned...that is where I sold mine and the value tanked like an anchor. I sold it like new for $235 (MSRP $435). That way you don't have so much "skin" in the game...pun intended!

@SaddleSC
fair point.I think I’ve decided to hold off for now. I pretty much know it’s not going to work for me, but man they sure look fantastic!
On the other hand … it wouldn’t be the first time I bought something that looks fantastic but half knowing it won’t work out…
-
I'm reading that the division road might have a different midweight fabric compared to the ones from Dehen direct. Can anyone comment on this and if they're really different and specifically if the scratchiness is the same, better, or worse?
really IH just needs to make a shawl collar cardigan i guess.

There's a thread for recommendations like this!
