I seem to have a liking for italian knitwear.
Retro style, the sort of knitwear championed by Scenes in the Sopranos and Lock Stock.
The London Casuals and West Indian youths also had a liking for such items.
On recent trips to New York and Toronto , I,ve scaled the italian nieghbourhoods in search of those small independant shops that sell these items of gaudiness.
Sometimes I even buy them knowing I,ll never wear them.
As I get older my tastes are changing, as much as I love traditional dressing, theres always the desire to be a bit street in my clobber.
Some of these knits look a bit trashy, maybe thats the appeal.
