Re: I am after a new Shetland
Where can these present shetlands be ordered from? Tried a quick google search but came up empty handed.

Personally, I am all about the Leith Clothing for my Shetlands:

Re: I am after a new Shetland
From the grapevine the Drakes brushed shetland is made by the same maker as the Leith ones, not sure who makes the Present ones though.

Re: I am after a new Shetland
I forgot about Leith... I wanted the Present one as it was the seemingly the last in my size after they did some digging in the cellar!

Re: I am after a new Shetland
Anyone seen a sleeveless cardigan under £100 and made in Scotland? I tried the 'genuine Scottish knits' one, William Lockie are £125 and Drakes £+++

Re: I am after a new Shetland
Just got a promo email today informing that Huckberry now has brushed shetlands for $120. They are even using the term "Shaggy Dog" in the description....not sure if JPress has any trademark on that?
The color choices are basic, but they are killing JPress on price.
https://huckberry.com/store/shetland-woollen-company/category/p/51199-shaggy-sweater
EDIT: One difference from the JPress sweaters is that it appears that the Huckberry sweaters have a normal length wrist cuff, not an extra long one that needs to be folded back. I personally like this change, and find the folded back cuff awkward and frumpy.
From the website:
STORY
Meet the fisherman sweater, a fall essential
Shetland Woollen Company manufactures their soft goods from local wool in Shetland, Scotland. The Shaggy Dog gets its name from the shaggy wool fibers on the outside of the fabric, a result of the brushing that gives the fabric a remarkably soft hand.
FEATURES
Made from brushed wool that’s soft, warm and cozy
Classic fisherman’s crewneck style
Ribbed neck, collar and cuffs
Made on the Shetland, Isles, Scotland with locally sourced materials
MATERIALS
100% wool
SIZING
The Shaggy Dog has a regular fit that’s true to size, take your normal size

Boise has Harley's (actually, seems they have everything) 15% off. https://www.bosie.co/harley-of-scotland/
Ended my Shetland search operation, and I'm sticking with Jamieson's and O'Connell's.

Re: I am after a new Shetland
As soon as "model" and "sweater" entered my brain, I immediately thought of Burt too. What the heck, MAN?!!!
I think it's a great shot, Woof. What a great smile!

If I didn't know, I'd guess that man is a rancher in Montana. Rich as a Wall Street banker, without the flash. Can crush all the bones in your body with a bear hug. Drives a pickup with a dead coyote in the bed.
