Where are the chocolate brown jumpers?

This is driving me mad! I just want a chocolate brown v neck jumper. In cashmere or regular wool, I’m flexible but where the hell are they? Recently, I thought I’d finally struck gold with The White Company but I didn’t like the quality or fit but as they're so rare, I almost kept it anyway. Why are they so rare? I’ve been looking for years!

Anyway, as you folks often seem like some kind of wizards, I just wondered if you’d seen any or, if there really aren’t any, you had any thoughts why they just don’t exist.

Kelltlewell have a few https://www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/products/knitwear/item/evie-sweater?colourID=828 a v-neck in two shades of brown, how do you take your chocolate?

I’d take either (very dark chocolate for preference, though) but the Kettlewell one is out because of all the messing around with those stupid splits at the side, these things.

Ludicrously unflattering. Notice how even on this very slim model it’s creating a mild optical illusion that the jumper is being pulled upwards and outwards by any weight she is carrying on her front. I should have put this in the spec I was looking for, it’s something I always forget about until it’s too late.

Poetry have some, unfortunately not in chocolate brown, the season seems to be favouring redish browns or cooler stone browns.

The splits might be easy to just sew up if that’s all that putting you off? I’ve done that with jumpers before. Who needs silly undone bits ? They just pull open if you haven’t got a washboard stomach!

Have just noticed it's a man's jumper so probably not right!

I have sometimes thought about this but I am truly crap at sewing, and also don’t quite trust myself to believe the jumper is going to hang nicely afterwards, and then I can’t send it back.
