Sorry, this just isn't my cup of tea. The quality of the sweater looks great, but I don't favor the appearance of it. Hope that doesn't offend anyone, but the original post did say he was "testing the waters".

Did you buy one? Sorry I don't understand, are you saying you don't want to order one or that you purchased one but don't care for it?

Here is a message direct from Simon, good news and bad news:

Men, a further ten SJC "Gun Club" sweaters have been sent out today from England and will land in the next few days. However there are six members sweaters to do. We burned through 50 pound weight in wool for this order, and caught the knitters unaware, so they have had to get another batch of Drab Green dyed. It's hand dyed old school and the wool arrives next monday. The knitting will then commence and the remaining six orders will be shipped directly. Hang in there they are well an truly worth it.

P.S. from Destry: Mine is one of these last few apparently, but I'm glad some of the others are making their appearance. Since it's a bigger size than publically offered, I'm guessing they're saving making it for last. So if you don't have your sweater yet I feel your pain.....

I've just had word from Simon that my sweater has actually been produced and he will be posting it right away. He was holding back telling me to let it be a surprise.

Then of course he had to give me the old: "Well, yours was so big it ran them out of wool."

He's a funny guy ol' Simon.....

Mine showed up today too! It's very nice, even in my huge size. LOL

No idea on the 2nd run, I'm still worrying over everybody in the first run getting theirs.
