I dig it so much that I just shot OC an email asking them to put me down for the driftwood color when they restock their 38s.

I needed to confer with Mrs. AB on this one chaps, but a quick comparison of PLY in woollens.....

PLY refers to the number of strands in a thread.
Different thread thicknesses contribute to the different yarn weights.
8 ply lambs-wool is therefore almost directly comparable in weight to 12 ply fine cashmere - as cashmere has a much finer thread than lambs-wool.

I think that makes sense

Oliver · 2014-10-11 11:09:21

Yeah and by the same token, 12-ply lambswool would be a thicker and heavier weight than 8-ply of the same fabric. It depends entirely on the cloth. In this case the selling point is surely a much softer and more luxurious fabric, though it seems entirely unecessary. I just phoned in a preorder on the driftwood sweater!

That's a hell of a mark-up by O'Connells.

It was surprisingly cheap, John!

Robbie, I'd like to know the same thing. I wasn't about to ask Ethan for obvious reasons though. If anyone has any lead, let us know!

John Boy · 2014-10-11 13:08:20

The price will start adding up with flights over there. Ah maybe one day.

Anyone know what happened to White of Hawick? Looks like they used to do a great one with a throat latch?

Tommy · 2014-11-11 12:55:56

http://www.northseaclothing.bigcartel.com/product/the-expedition-cardigan Again £225 but seem to remember their stuff is really well made?

Tomiskinky · 2014-11-12 07:40:02

These could be worth a punt chaps, asked the seller for some sizes, they are 44 chest, and lengthwise is 27 inches.

Terrible photos, but I think they should be ok.

Despite it being for men, I got this military reproduction for my mother. It is sufficiently heavy.

Tommy · 2015-01-06 11:20:31

That looks alright for the money but can't find it over here, sure wpg has some European stockists?

Runninggeez · 2015-01-06 16:16:24

I was on the cusp of buying the Tyrwhitt Navy shawl SB, I also liked the look of the Navy Marl fishermans rib, but they didn't have my size. I ended up buying a navy shawl cable nit in lambswool from Gant, and it doesn't have the Gant logo either.

Just pulled the trigger on the North Sea Clothing expedition cardigan. I'll give a report when it cones in.
