Men's Knitwear

[Jay]

Payday is fast approaching and with the month's spend it's all about the knitwear.

I'm after purchasing two or three items (depending on the cost of the individual items): a chunky cardigan, a fair isle style jumper and a funnel neck jumper. I have a budget of £400, so between £100 and £200 per item. My specifications for each item are as follows (here comes the OCD bit):

Cardigan

• natural fibres
• S or XS in size
• earthy tones (cream/oatmeal/fawn/beige/brown) although I'd consider a wonderful grey one
• one (or close to) colour (not patterned)
• preferably cable knit although I'd consider any chunky knit
• buttoned not zipped
• no hood
• not funnel necked (and preferably not shawl necked but I'd consider an awesome one)

Jumper

• natural fibres
• S or XS in size
• fair isle, nordic pattern
• main colour in autumnal tones
• crew necked

Funnel Neck

• natural fibres
• S or XS in size
• earthy tones or grey
• chunky knit (cable/waffle etc.)
• plain or some fair isle/nordic patterning (but not over the top)
• no buttons on the funnel

If I had unlimited funds/or these came in my size/were available this is what I'd buy to give you an idea of what I'm after:






(Actually this one is in my size and budget so a serious consideration.)

All help is much appreciated as I feel I scoured the web and come up with very little. It's the sizing that's generally the problem as smaller sizes are inevitably sold out of the things I like.

Get the YMC one, it's lovely! As to sizing, I have the same problem. S and XS are always out of stock.

After a quick search I only found this rollneck from Paul Smith. Not quite what you were looking for, but in budget and size.

Trust you to send me to the most upmarket site I know! Fortunately it's sale season.
I also turned up these, although they weren't perfect:

I hope there's something you like in there.

The M. Griffoni one looks awesome Sam. It has some rip detailing that's not for everyone though.

[Sam]

Huh, didn't spot that. That is a bit niche, I'm not big on distressing.

How about this?

Thanks guys. There' several I like in those (the Griffoni except for the distressing, the Gant and Ralph Lauren pieces, but I have things so similar already).

While on The Corner site I did find this though, which is almost £100 off and just the thing I was after.

Oh and I found these at Burton of all places. 100% wool for £60 and £65 respectively. I think those are a steal:
