Ok cheers fargo i'll go back and have a wee look. Ta

Scattered across this forum are bits of explanation and discussions of the merits of shoulder types. They go into it better than I could - I think that's where I learned - but buggered if I can find them. I'll have a go at digging them up, or a cackhanded attempt at paraphrase if it comes to it. Saddle shoulder is the most Ivy.

Robbo's brevity always make me laugh and his misreading of my post seems a rare misstep. Fair enough, he's obviously v busyman and I do waffle.

Anderson is certainly a company I plan to deal with over the phone. That website seems a mess even by the usual knitwear standard. Some of those photos where they're supposed to show a range of colours of the same jumper do seem to show different jumpers.

I'm a sucker for all sorts of Ivy flat caps, driving caps, newsboy and bakerboy caps with or without buckles, most of mine are some sort of Tweed, especially herringbones, still looking for a nice cord cap, besides there are two soft felt hats, one mid grey and one navy, but I rarely wear them, a Brooks bucket hat for rainy days and few wool hats for the real cool time...

It's something I look for just 'cause of my shape. Round broad shoulders look a bit shit without something to break it up and give it structure. Just a personal thing. I like the look of both types.
