The North Sea Clothing is a very nice one with the wide waistband. Alex Hills has one and it just screams vintage.

Ironically, the originals don't have as deep a waistband as the NSC ones....!

I'm sure I've got a scanned copy of a knitting pattern for it if it might prove of use to Simon or others.

Edit: I would love to persuade Simon to make one of these for the workwear collection as that's essentially what it was. Covered in oil and grime, they look great!

....Well, not necessarily a submarner for me, (as I don't like turtlenecks), but it would be nice to have some basic knitware in the workwear department for next fall/winter...

Oh, that one is nice!

[swinglish]

It is rather, isn't it?

It was on eBay ages ago, and I've posted it in the knitwear threads here a few times. Looks like a near perfect please everyone jumper. The only problem would be producing or adapting a pattern to make it... that's the kicker.

Not often, only on the coldest days if you plan to stay outside for a while. The problem nowadays is that most of our time is spent indoors in well heated buildings, public transports, cars,etc... I can unbutton a cardigan but not a roll neck sweater.

I think I've only worn the SJC cardigan a few times in the street after I played with it shrinking it a bit.

This is how the North Sea Clothing wears:

I would rather wear something like that than a sweater with a chunky neck. Roll necks and such feels a bit irritating in combination with my long beard. i feel trapped!   

But when I finally get sick of all the facial hair I may trim it down a bit and wear a turtle neck, Hemingway style!

This is how the North Sea Clothing wears:

Posture and form are key. Mine look nothing like that and I own quite a few NSC jumpers now.

What do you mean?

I'm refering to the picture because it looks short enough with the wide waistband.

Reminds me abit of the US aRMY mechanic's sweater - - except in a non-military colour that you don't see just everywhere. I like this sort of quasi-v-neck because it can be worn with a tie.

[SJC]

Oh so it doesn't roll it's double thickness but standing?

[SJC]

Yep v necks happening

Sort of with the ability to roll to half height. You'd be the only one making a pukka version if you did reproduce that.
