Andersen-Andersen knitwear

I was playing with the idea of getting an Andersen-Andersen wool troyer this winter, but decided I needed something a bit more versatile so ended up getting a RMC Freedom Sleeve instead. But I own a wool watch cap and scarf from Andersen-Andersen and don't find them scratchy. I dont have a wool sensitivity, but a shaved head, so most hats are at least somewhat itchy, but not this one. The knit has a nice amount of natural stretchiness, and both definitely warm enough for my needs.
I'll still grab a sweater at some point though. The one I tried felt amazing.

This is a few weeks old. Been my winter attire:
Sorry about the grumpy face. I was waiting for my youngest, who’s isn’t exactly fast when she doesn’t think it I needed.
I’m very happy I went with the full zip navy.

Did I imagine IH saying they were stocking A-A this winter? @ShopatIronHeart

Sweet!

@will6er where did you see it?
-
@TeflonDon Somewhere on here I think - not sure. Great news though.

Cool - Andersen-Andersen is a great addition to the lineup here.
-
Haven’t heard about AA but all of this hype definitely has me intrigued. New rabbit hole?
-
It’s not that much of a rabbit hole as their list of products is quite limited. And their products last really well, and wool should only be washed very rarely, so you don’t need that many items.
However it’ll be a blow to a lot of us here that their indigo dyed products are about 30% more expensive than similar ones dyed differently

Okay, I think I like the Navy Full-Zip Pockets in hunting green, brown and grey. @TeflonDon I have waaaaay too much indigo so I'm safe!

You have just done the window shopping I did yesterday. Some colors are not in my size (problem) - then I remembered the IH connection.
Look forward to the video.

Okay, need one of these! Was thinking about getting a cowichan sweater but this looks really really nice!
-
My A-A watch cap and scarf are top notch. I still want to get a quarter zip eventually, but probably not this year. I need a new winter jacket and that'll do some decent damage to the clothing fund.

@Giles after all it is the Iron Heart of sweaters. Well-played lads!
No credit to me.....

does anyone have one of their skipper jacket / button up cardigans? Sizing looks a little short and boxy. Thinking I'd be a large but I'm a little hesitant given all the advice here on other items to go with a size down from your typical IH stuff. And yes, I've looked at the measurements. I feel like I'm solidly between most of the dimensions for M and L. I've reached out to them for advice too, but they were less than helpful on the first try. Mostly curious for how stretchy that skipper jacket is, looks like it's a half-cardigan knit vs the full-cardigan knit of their other items. Practically I dont quite have a feel for this, even if looking it up says it will be less stretchy. But I have no baseline for how stretchy their full cardi knit is so /shrug. Appreciate any input from someone who might have one or got to try one on somewhere.
