@SKT it’s something that needs to be seen / felt in person to appreciate. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was warmer than my Mackinaw Cruiser. Definitely going to need some cold weather to test. Perhaps @Mizmazzle can send you his on account of all that global warming

@will6er yea, I went to just “try it on” as I had business in that part of town. The salesman offered me a deal that was too tough to pass up so I was like fuckit..
Dirty mirror shot:
This is all I can do for now until it gets colder outside.
It’s the NAVY FULL-ZIP POCKETS in black btw. -
6°C for this morning’s walk so time to test this beast out.
Very comfortable the whole walk! Thumb holes are so nice.
When I got back, I just fold the cuff back and I’m really comfortable indoors with it too.
Glad I got the full zip. This is basically a thick warm wool sweater that doubles as a jacket. So good!!!

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.
