And whether you think it would be a nice Christmas present?

(yes, I'm starting very early, but you have to if you want the best bargains)!

Stop it, I'm 63 but no way am I fucking elderly

SAME!!!! I wear my 34 year old DD's hand me downs! Grin

Fortunately this jumper will not be in her wardrobe.......

Going against the grain here but I like it and I'm only in my 40's - the cream cable bit throws me back to some of my 90's wardrobe though!

It is of course cheap acrylic, but I would wear it ifiwearnotthesizeofanelephant

It's ultra boring

piperatthegates · 05/08/2018 12:45

People who are criticising it for being acrylic and saying get beautiful wool, some of us can't wear wool (or cashmere) and find it unbearably itchy. I never buy wool for myself or my daughter as we both find it uncomfortable. I prefer cotton or a decent quality soft acrylic. My late MIL was the same - could never buy her wool or anything itchy.

Having said all that I'm not that keen on this particular jumper Grin

It's hideous! The white bit under the neck looks like a bib. Also it's sweaty synthetic.
I'd only give a jumper gift if it's something special and luxurious like cashmere or high quality wool.

My mother is nearly 90, she would probably strangle you if you gave her something like that. It is vile.

zukiecat · 05/08/2018 12:57

I'm 51 and I like it!

Beautiful colour, but I love anything pink

I don't consider £15 as a cheap jumper though

9amTrain · 05/08/2018 13:28

It's horrible.

mintui · 05/08/2018 13:40

If it makes the model look big you know it's no good!

Rudgie47 · 05/08/2018 13:48

Really horrid, I wouldnt want that.

SilverySurfer · 05/08/2018 14:21

I'm in my 70s - thanks but no thanks - I don't wear acrylic or polyester.

FannyCornforth · 05/08/2018 15:13

Why acrylic versus wool? Cotton is your friend! Cool and totally non-itchy. (But nigh on impossible to find these days).

RoseWhiteTips · 05/08/2018 15:36

Well obv cotton instead of wool or cashmere if those make you itch.

RoseWhiteTips · 05/08/2018 15:37

Just that the talk of Christmas made me imagine a jumper for cold weather. Cotton is not that.

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 05/08/2018 15:39

It's vile... And an odd colour... Unless the recipient was very keen on colour or design or material would I buy it...

It looks as if made in the 1980s.

Hope you get fixed up OP
