I cannot get over how insanely well made this sweater is and how well it fits and drapes as an oversized piece. Does anyone have similar sweater recommendations?

1A Country Meetings Crew Neck Sweater - 100% Kilcarra Tweed Range 2
This classic crew neck sweater has been Inverallans best seller over the years. The 1A Country Meeting is hand-knitted with 3 different cable types.
Inis Meian tends to not do that chunky but them as well
@Holfram probably knows more
wait for the euros to wake up
I have a few pieces from Inis Meain, Wonderful knitwear by equally wonderful people, but they don't have the handknit heft
yeah its not really their style
Off topic, but Inis Meain's linen knitwear is phenomenal for cooler weather in the summer
So what’re youre looking for? An Aran knit like this? Why don’t you just get that one?
Or are you looking for different types of sweaters? If so, what types?
I'd say I'm looking for sweaters that fit like this and have chunky 3-D knitting, inverallan definitely fits the bill as well.
Yeah i don’t know any other types that have chunky 3d knitting except for arans tbh
Totally fair, I'll accept any and all Aran recommendations then ha ha
Looks like inverallan was responsible for Filson's old cable knit sweaters, might try and track one of those down on ebay
I’ve heard good things about Aran Sweater Market
Chamula does a lot of fun stuff, maybe not arans, but fun!
I keep seeing IG ads for these. I've wondered what the quality was like. Unfortunately, I assume everything presented to me via algorithm is shit.
I’m not 100% sure how the quality is either since I’ve never gotten anything from them
I’ve heard positive things about them on Reddit which is how I originally found out about them
holy fuck that looks so warm and comfy
For the price their knits are good, their few handknit pieces are very nice
Price to quality is great for Aran sweater market, but their usual stuff isn't fantastic. They're basically the Uniqlo of thick wool sweaters
Aran Sweater market uses mass production techniques and facilities but still produces in the Aran islands. Their sweaters are definitely worth the money you pay for them. It’s a good quality product at a reasonable price imo
Their slippers are extremely nice, 11/10 recommend
would this look strange on a guy given that it's probably tailored to a woman's silhouette or no?
Why would it?
As long as the measurements are fine
Depends on your build and how you'd like to come across through silhouette, but it's also a handknit and should be possible to request one made to your measurements for an additional fee and longer wait time
ok i need to measure myself
The sweater itself looks relaxed
the only significant difference is that arms are usually slimmer and shorter on women's clothing but that doesn't seem to be a problem here
Very true, that and buttoning on the opposing side but no buttons here
