"M" Magazine, October, 1986 (photo credit: Kyle Ericksen)"The sweater was PRL (Polo Ralph Lauren) in Argyll & Sutherland Highlander stripe wool. Any time you see an unusual shawl collar cardigan, 90% chance it's PRL. It's been done in fair isle, gun check, chalk stripe, reggie stripe, awning stripe, indigenous American, you name it. Wool, cashmere, linen, cotton, jute...." Jamgood

ReplyDeleteI come from a cold place. I love wool. I love sweaters. Ralph usually does them well. As long as he doesn't put any fake crap on them. I am thinking that as one gets older, sweaters have to be simpler and subtle otherwise the sweater looks like it's wearing you. Right? Wrong?
ReplyDeleteI prefer sweaters knit by somebody I know. Although knitting is a very popular hobby these days, nobody, in my entire life, has ever really wanted to knit for me. Even my own mum. They don't want to knit what I want to wear, and I don't want to wear what they want to knit. Heartbreaking. Moths! Moths have broken my heart too. More than once.
I am surprised there are not more bespoke knitters around. How hard can it be? Some patterns, measurements, a knitting machine even and a serger. Colours the way you want'em. Could be good home based business. For somebody. I guess.

I love a shawl cardigan...scord a nice hunter green number in 100% wool...Orvis...on Ebay...great for cold night at the Waterfowl Club.
ReplyDeleteI'd gladly take this over the Cucinelli troop pictured below.
ReplyDeleteI once read an interview with Armani where he was quoted as saying, 'Italians are like sheep in fashion; they replicate store windows in their dress. Whereas, the Anglo is an individual style.'
And having lived in Italy, I'm inclined to agree.

Anon- C, E or S class?
ReplyDeleteOyster- Interested in a job? I can pay half a cent a word and all of it must be attributed to me. Great comment. Just knock off spelling color the wrong way. It's half a cent a word -- no matter how long it is.
Mail Line- Waterfowl Club? You're pulling my chain? Do you have a flag?
Matthew- Italians have surrendered well over the last hundred years. And they always looked good doing it.
No chain pulling...I am Pres. of a 30 member duck hunting Club...we lease an 800 acre farm near the bay in DE....been featured on my Blog many times.No flag though..
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome any time..hunting,drinking,card playing, pool shooting, clay pigeons...a tremendous place to spend a few days!
Goin' down tomorrow in fact...tower shoot!
Matthew - I only spent a semester abroad, but I'd have to say that Armani's quote is dead on, at least for the Italians I met.
ReplyDelete" No class" whatsoever!
ReplyDeleteMain Line- You're the best. I'll make you a flag.
ReplyDeleteAnon- Sartorial wisdom from Mt Olive, NC. Stick to pickles
Not you! The Mercedes...
ReplyDeleteAnon- Shame on me for missing that one.
ReplyDeleteYou just keep those pictures of cute boys coming, ok? This one's a dead ringer for Prince Henry, yes?
