Andersen-Andersen knitwear

[pechelman]

@AdamC thanks.
Looking at the measurements, you're a 45" chest, so that makes sense. The XL would have a ~46" chest which wouldn't give much ease, especially if the fabric is chunky.

You've got me thinking L is the way to go. How stiff or stretchy is the fabric in general?

To echo the above question, how long before these might show up on the site? Sounds like not too far off?

They have these locally so I may go try em on. General consensus seems to be IH Large UHF is AA Medium. Would prefer to buy from you guys and don't mind waiting.

Consistent IH Large and occasional medium, 42R here. Safely Medium in my A-A and given the stretch could probably get away with a size down though I love the fit as-is.

We are waiting to hear back from Andersen-Andersen on a couple points but watch this space for launch details! The fabric has an element of natural give but it is a heavyweight knit that will hold its shape and mould to the body

@pechelman @Chibs I typically wear a Large IH UHF/Jacket. 6ft, 40" chest..

This is the Medium on me:

This is the Large:

Loosely speaking 1.0" or so difference in the P2P at a quick glance. Slightly more option to layer with a jumper/sweat underneath if wanted to on the Large. I would personally go for a Medium with just a tee underneath.

I hope this helps!

@Bailey Looks really thick and comfortable.
Are you guys getting the Navy Full-Zip Pockets?

[AdamJ]

@Chibs we've got a bunch of stuff at IHUK at the moment. Navy full zips slightly delayed but are on order

[Chibs]

@AdamJ Thanks for letting me know! It's probably a good thing for me. It's iPhone Duo month RN.. Will you be getting black?

[John Galt]

@AdamJ I wear a size XS in all of the AA items - do you know if there will there be size XS available for any of the sweaters via IHUK?

[AdamC]

@John-Galt We are stocking S-XXL for our first release. I am sure we will expand on this as we understand the demand and expand on our offering

@neph93 What is the submariners sweater? Haven't seen that thing?

[John Galt]

@AdamC Understood - thanks for the feedback - fingers crossed for size XS in future - I’m assuming that will be next winter 2027-2028 at the earliest if it even happens. Although I’m bumming, my bank account is happy though.

@John-Galt you could buy directly from A-A in the interim…not that I’m trying to hurt the wallet. …but this place is known for enabling others…

[neph93]

@scarfmace a submariners sweater traditionally is a white/off-white turtleneck. Think the u-boat captain in the first Indiana Jones movie.

Andersen-Andersen used to have specifically that, but I see they have rationalised their product line. So it would be this now:

I know I've been involved in this thread before and might've mentioned something about sizing, but for posterity's sake I'll add here that I have Ls in the Navy Full and Half-Zip and they fit perfectly. I'm an XL in IH tops 99% of the time.

These sweaters are total beasts. Great stuff.
