Chunky Knit Sweaters Thread

[broneck]

So there isn't a thread dedicated to this yet, and I think there's probably enough interest to generate a successful one.

So far discussed have been SNS herning's knits.

Designs for danish fishermen in the 1930s. I'm really pumped on picking this piece up. Any other must-have heavy knit sweaters for the season?

[broneck]

shit. meant for shopper. someone move, or something.

[Trillerblake]

Nice thread. Jumped on this bandwagon recently so will be looking for some nice knits here. Knits with belt especially

[bubblegun]

i like it. where to kop?

[ko]

Damn you people are lazy, took me like 2 minutes to find a place to cop.

Anyway not necessarily must have but Jcrew has some decent looking chunky knit sweaters.

how much are those geller ones...

[bonjin]

last season tres bien carried this amazing sns herning knit in a deep purple color. it's not on the official site and I never had the money to cop while they were available. regret regret.

oh and those geller knits are fucking nice too.

got a nice surface2air zip one from a few years back with a similiar pattern to the geller upthread... just checked their current collection but there's nothing like it there.

pringle always do a lot of these.

IMO though, the best ones on the market are from a small Irish knitting company called Inis Meain, and are available at Bergdorf, JL Powell, and a few other stores. Esquire's new Big Black Book for 2008 also has a nice layout on these types of sweaters.

This steven alan one is pretty cool

I bought the J. Crew chunky one posted above. I like it a lot, wore it almost everyday this week. Fits really big though, sized down from medium to small.

i remember there was this fishernet sweater collab between DOVER STREET MARKET and SNS Herning and that was absolutely fabulous. i don't remember where the picture went though.

uhhhh I've been looking at sweaters in the shoppes recently.

don't forget

April 77 are doing a big one called "mesh". Couldn't get a picture.

[emilo]

almost anything from sns is worth buying. Great quality for the money, that's for sure. If you're looking for some sns from older seasons, I suggest you go to www.trendsales.dk. Should be some there. PM me if you need translation

[broneck]

They're carrying that Nom De Guerre cardigan at Nomad. I'm not a huge fan after trying it on, not a flattering fit (on me anyway). the overlapping knit gives the impression that i have a gut that is far bigger than the one i actually have...herning was infinitely nicer, same price.

Thanks for the heads up on Jcrew, I might take the plunge on the navy one.

[villain]

found it, nvm.

[eraserhead]

I think this sweater is nice. It has hood though. Is that ok?

how come nobody stocks these

[Servo2000]

I have two from Banana Republic that I bought on sale for like $20 - I just sized up twice so the knit looks absurdly chunky in relation to my size and drapes around mid-thigh. Not as good as some of the ones in here - but for $20 they've served me extraordinarily well for the price.

I got my mum to knit me a huge jumper with unfinished edges. She used 8 ply wool doubled up, so it's effectively 16 ply, in a very loose gauge knit. thing weighs about 4-5kg I reckon...

[onemancult]

this thread is kind of making me sick. chunky knits make me want to hurl.

[jyoni]

filson.com is selling these for $50 right now, m-xl

[Liberation1945]

you whylin.

[jyoni]

maybe so, but I wouldn't buy any chunky cable sweater unless it's filson, pendleton, or handloomed by some sheepherder's or fish/crabman's wife.

[Trillerblake]

What just about to say the same thing. I agree with Mouko, definitely one of the best ones at the moment, but I cant find it anywhere online

[jo3 b]

handloomed? aren't looms for weaving.

i'm a jerk.

[Sylvestre]

Gravity Pope (edmonton) has the geller with the sleeves, I have no idea if they do phone orders however.

[jyoni]

handloomed? aren't looms for weaving.

Yes. That's where fabric comes from.

"Hand-woven" would have been a better way for me to say it.

Don't think a lot of stores bought it. I only know Woodley and Bunny in Brooklyn. It's pretty pricey (I think retail is 700-800ish?) and its really long/oversized. Bit of a hard sell.
