Indeed. The original pattern is fine as far it goes, for military requirements. But for a normal period style you'll need a waist-length.
Don't worry, I've met Simon's knitwear expert and things are looking very good!

Although for a lot of the early cardigans etc, the styles are much longer.

These particular jumpers were designed and made to protect the ass from cold sea winds. They are not preppy varsity sweaters.

Yes. But I asked if they are willing and able to change the pattern to varsity sweaters. As a future project not for the turtleneck. Maybe I should have asked in another thread but since the wool feels right and the trim cuffs are already near perfect....it would be cool to stay with this maker.

Oh I see! Yes, I did ask them and yes they can do what we want from 3 gauge super heavy (the subs are 7) up to 12 gauge for jazz knits. Bearing in mind Trevor the garment tech has a knitter as well on the go who's minimums are about 75. The submariner knitters mins are 120.

Are there any of these left? Would love to buy a navy in L, possibly XL.
If not, then will there be a re-run later in the year?

Mine was very much admired on Saturday night at a friend's birthday get-together in Hackney. These are definitely a line worth thinknig about making again.

Been wearing my submariner every other day here up in the cold north and I guess its soon time for the first wash!
It actually says 40 degres on the instructions on the sweater, if I ever wash wool in the machine I never go over 30, but this time a small amount of shrinkage would be totally ok.
Has anyone machine washed their Submariner yet and how was the result?

I did wash mine, but on a woolen wash and then hung it flat to dry.

I have a submariner sweater that I have owned for a few years. I think it was made by the same company (appears to have the same washing label). I machine wash mine on 30degrees and usually hang to dry (although I don't think it's the best way). It holds its size and shape better than any piece of knitwear I have owned.
