Looking at those pictures makes me wonder how many of those men served in the war between the states.

Several shawl collar sweaters here

Ok boys, it's officially on, the sweaters are on the website so you can order them.

Simon has had a color sample done by the knitting mill so you can more get an idea of what you're getting, and he's showing the buttons that will be on them as well.

Check the size chart and confirm on your own garments, don't just guess. This isn't something we can return for a different size. They'll literally be making "your" sweater from whatever it is you order, there won't be anymore.

With the British Pound so weak against the dollar right now, this is really a great opportunity to buy good stuff like this from the UK.

Here's the link to order. There's also a chat option on the website that Simon personally answers if you have any questions, or feel free to contact me of course.

As I said before, they WON'T have the skull and crossbones patch on them like the others. Several guys have voiced concern about that, I wanted to make it clear.

The knitting mill is saying they should be able to deliver before Christmas.

Ok, I think I've messaged everybody personally who was interested as well. If I missed you I'm sorry, and if I messaged you more than once I'm sorry too. Hah!

sizes
 

Just wondering if anyone has communicated with the vendor about sizes. I measure between an xl and an XXL. I guess they probably stretch a little...

Update: In case this might help someone else, a message was received from the vendor: a 46" chest would need an XXL...

They'll be somewhat stretchy, but I would use the chat feature and talk directly to Simon just to make sure.
