Harley of Scotland
I just got their luxury shetland in that has some cashmere blended in with the shetland wool, and for the small price increase it's really got a much nicer hand. The seamless construction makes it pretty comfortable and it's a nice medium between classically boxy and slimmer fit.

I actually wondered about this brand and simmilar brands recently
Shipping to the US was high and I felt a bit gouged, but the sweater is really nice and I've been enjoying it. Most US retailers, the price from them vs from bosie.co just about evens out after shipping.
Yeah makes sense I'm in the EU and currently looking at stockist
Quiet like the look of this sweater
Harley is great, just wanted to share this again cause I really enjoyed learning about it

Reel from Harley / Bosie about how they create the brushed effect on their sweaters using traditional techniques and thistle seed pods
That's cool as hell!
That's a really awesome looking trad fair isle!
The only EU based stockist I'm aware of is this one in Madrid https://www.pinarshop.es/knitwear/

There's this one too! https://purewool.eu/men-sweaters-jumpers-and-cardigans/
Women Sweaters, Jumpers & Cardigans | PURE WOOL
Men sweaters, jumpers and cardigans made of pure wool by best manufacturers from Ireland, Scotland and England.
Though might be more expensive than just buying from Bosie and paying the EU shipping + VAT?
Thanks to you and the other answer as well
Probably going to shop come Jan when there are sales
I’ve got a couple of their shetlands, one of which is brushed. I’m super pleased with both of them. They’ve got a great color selection too
What's the sizing like with these?
Generally, go for a size up on all Shetland brands. They are snug
Some retailers factor this in, for example the Jamieson sweaters on END will be listed as a size larger than the label actually says
They have measurements on their site you can reference
I got a bosie Shetland this season and it's become one of my favorite sweaters. Great brushed sweater though a bit thin at 2-ply
I don't find the Harley sweaters to fit small, personally
They’re true to size - though I agree with tunnocks re: sizing up with shetlands in general. That’s just my fit preference though
