I've never been big on the Shaggy Dog, I'm sure you could sort them with one of these:

Ackers knew who the maker was on the Drake shetters, I cant remember who it was but maybe if he sees this he can give people the nod

I have the Andover in nantucket red (dumb name, it's actually salmon pink) and while I certainly dig it, the fit is a bit too generous for me. I much prefer Press sizing.

I'm interested in seeing that burnt amber color... I wonder how close it is to O'Cs cumin shetland? The mooskit/shaela, mogit and osprey colors could be interesting too... it sounds like they're sourcing wool from the same weavers as Simply Shetland based on the colors: http://www.simplyshetland.net/Jamieson-NaturalSolids.html + http://www.simplyshetland.net/Jamieson-Spindrift.html

Gee, thank you Uncle Ollie! I'm in the market for a burgundy or port wine Dog and I don't think their 'Blue line' is doing it for me fit wise.

Press did an oyster color last season, which I have and dig very much. I think O'Connell's has a few similar shades, although they aren't the heavily textured brushed Shetlands. The deep purple port wine is a great color. I've got their burgundy from last season, so I'm in no hurry to order it, but I'd gladly make room in my closet for that one too. I imagine it looking especially cool layered under an earthy tweed sack.

Do you guys have any recommendations for lighter weight brushed shetlands? I already have a few shaggy dogs and was looking for something a little thinner that could cover the in-between seasons.
