The world's most specific jumper... can you help?

So.

DP has fairly specific tastes about certain things... nothing crazy, but he likes what he likes.

We live on a small island so it's tricky to find items in-store that fit his preferences and are of decent quality, and of course you can never be sure online.

So... I need help/recommendations finding a jumper that is:

Dark blue or forest green
Light-weight waffle knit but well-made enough to be cosy
Fairly loose at the neck (anything that sits just at the base of his throat makes him feel strangled)
High quality –will last, feels soft, and is warm.
Not too long in the body.

It doesn't SOUND too hard, does it?! But I cannot for the life of me find anything that ticks the boxes!

Hive-mind - can you help?

(I'm not sure if it would be too tight in the neck)

No links but try Cotton Traders and Lands End.

@AlwaysTryingToHelp that's definitely along the right lines, and yes, he'd do his strangled face as soon as it went over his head Grin

And thanks @Fairylea – I haven't heard of either of those, but I'll take a look!

Sea Salt do good jumpers, inc. men's ones

I've bought All Saints jumpers for my XDP in the past and they're always lovely quality and wash really well.

I got something very similar sounding for DH from ted baker last year for Christmas, it's their usual sort of thing. I vaguely remember they had a pre Christmas sale.

Can’t link, sorry, but on their website John Lewis have crew neck waffle knit sweaters in a cashmere/ cotton mix - in olive green, navy, mulberry or grey.

This Barbour one is my Dhs favourite - same type of requirements:

Not a waffle knit but landsend fisherman jumper ticks the other boxes and 40% off at the moment.
