Smooth lambswool jumpers in nice colours

15 replies

I understand that, if one is a man, one is allowed to wear decently thick, warm, smooth lambswool jumpers. M&S, for example, has 'pure extra fine lambswool' in 14 colours and a variety of styles - crew neck, V-neck, zip up.

I would like the same for me. Not see-through merino, not itchy chunky wool, not 100% acrylic or 'wool mix' that gives me eczema and BO. In, say, navy, a nice green, scarlet, wine colour. Not black, not white. A decent enough length that when I bend over (primary teacher) the jumper still covers the top of my skirt / trousers. A neckline I can wear over a T-shirt or a collared shirt. Fitted, not tight, smart enough to teach in. Doesn't go bobbly after 1 wash.

Please, where can I get one from?

I buy the men's. Grin

(Size 10-12 - ie a 10 in M&S, probably a 12 elsewhere)

Sitranced, they're a bit shapeless for work... for casual wear, i agree, but I need something a bit more fitted for work.

Small or Xs men’s ones?

ooglyboo · 04/01/2019 20:35

Yes try the men's. And uniqlo? Men's or women's. I'm size 6 and uniqlo men xs works.

Ooh, Uniqlo...

How short are the women's jumpers from there? I'm a bit worried I may come apart in the middle..

woolovers?

I’ve got a long body so normally find woman’s jumpers too short in the body but uniqlos merino jumpers fit well and I pretty much live in them ( I just wash them in a normal 30° wash with everything else too, if that’s of any interest to you?)

I came on to say uniqlo too. I'm long in the body and they cover me.

cantkeepawayforever · 04/01/2019 21:49

Excellent, thanks all!

Kettlewell has a good range of colours

The lambswool women's jumpers from uniqlo are a bit short but the men's are good!

LaPampa · 05/01/2019 09:12

Occasionally Gap has some good ones. I’ve had some great merino wool jumpers from there. Also Cos. But not every year which is weird. Also uniqlo men’s is my go to, but I guess more for casual than work.

Definitely Woolovers as mentioned by pp
