Andersen-Andersen knitwear

[TeflonDon]

Birthday present from my wife was a long Bernie in dark indigo.

The quality is on par with the sweaters, and the elasticity of the knitting makes it very comfortable. It stays in place, without being tight. So far i can’t see any color difference compared to my dark navy sweater, but it’ll be interesting to see how it changes. If at all.

I have a massive head, and I want I to keep my ears warm, so long is the right fit for me. If you’re aiming for looks over function and are looking for a classic workwear style consider one of the shorter options.

I swore to myself I’d buy the taupe to add some color to my wardrobe, but couldn’t pass up the dark indigo so I’m adding another blue shirt. Par for the course.

Love the fabric more than I would have ever imagined. Still getting used to the cropped fit. Very warm and comfortable.

I would rate it as a 4 out of 100 (yes 100) on the itchy scale, there’s a little bit but it’s no bother.

If anyone reading this has worn an indigo version for a long time, should I expect much fading?

looks perfect @jordanscollected !

How'd you size this, XL? Looks like you could layer this under a type 3 or leather jacket without too much trouble?

@jordanscollected I've had the same skipper jacket for a couple of years, and comparing it to my unworn navy full zip (navy as in the cut - it is a slightly heavier knit too, but they're both dark indigo in colour) there's a slight lightening on the older one, a hint of a mottled character, but it's very subtle. On the other hand, there's been very little pilling or other signs of wear - these things are pretty robust.

I've got a couple of things in natural taupe too, and I feel it's a bit scratchier than other colours. I believe it's undyed, which may explain the difference. Might not be noticeable to most, but if you're at all sensitive to wool I'd say you made the right choice.

I’m glad you got it! I think your fit is spot on and I love the indigo (maybe even more than mine).
Should help keep the winter at bay.

@pechelman I went for a size large with @Anesthetist guidance. I’m 5’11” 190lb. After a day of wear I believe this was the perfect size. I could wear an xl, but the body length is gain would result in too baggy everywhere else.

@Oroccoco thank you that’s great info. I put this on over a work shirt today and it still works for me. The structure vs stretch ratio is incredible on this one.

@jordanscollected sweeet!!

Yeah even the Navy has this almost gauzy stretch to it where it drapes great with minimal layers and can handle some beef underneath too

Grabbed the Tabasco half zip - beautiful Color, bit scratchy, super heavy and thick but that was kinda obvious.
