Looking for a stripey oversized jumper!

BabstheBounder · 21/08/2024 11:00

Can anyone help me find something similar to the Free People oversized striped jumper?

https://www.freepeople.com/uk/shop/classic-striped-oversized-crewneck/?color=266&countryCode=GB&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwoJa2BhBPEiwA0l0ImHxUudA0KxUYzbnPYLaKDTQNPxrNz0jJwN1XnWMZWq9oNowajxomBBoCvaAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&inventoryCountry=GB

I found something bargainous on amazon which turned out to be
a) non existent (Never turned up, refund received) and
b) a blatant rip off of the free people jumper anyway, although I only found that out once I searched the image
c) poor quality according to the reviews of people who did actually get a jumper

ANYWAY

I love the bright colours. Do not want A subdued navy and white striped boden sailor jumper.

Oversized good. I'm size 16 with a full breeze behind me, possibly a 14 with my bosom strapped down tightly.

Price? The free people one is £88 so thats around what i am happy to spend.

Any ideas? I suppose I'm looking for alternatives to compare with the free people one.

Thank you!

Thanks @Yewtown I like the passenger a bit more than the kite one - I think I'd feel like I was in my grannie's crochet blanket in the kite jumper.

Hmm. I think I like the narrow stripe of the free people one more than wider block stripes.

Appreciate the suggestions though!

Are you open to second hand? If so I recommend typing the description into vinted and seeing what comes up. This may or may not be my current favourite hobby

BabstheBounder · 21/08/2024 12:07

Oooh @IDontWantToWaitAnyMore both of those a gorgeous. Thank you!

@Wehavealaughdontwe second hand is fine, I got overwhelmed with vinted as it kept throwing kids jumpers and striped bags at me. I'm not a patient searcher!

on vinted you filter by women’s clothes and sizes - for jumpers I always go up a size and filler for new with tags, new without tags (and then add in “very good” if I don’t get any hits I like)

I’m wearing this jumper right now 😁 I’ve had it for a few months now, wear it a lot and it hasn’t got any bobbles, weird matted bits or gone out of shape at all. I think I’ve worn it most of this week (with a top underneath…) because it doesn’t feel too hot or too cold. If you have sensitive skin and you don’t have a top that neatly sits under it then you might find it itchy although that’s not a problem I have (just an observation). I don’t normally go into All Saints but I was looking for something for someone else and thought “I love that jumper” and there was an offer on so off I went to the till.

Weirdly I was looking at the Amazon version of this earlier today. And now I know not to buy. I love these too and am considering just buying the FP version, even though it's a lot. I generally find their t-shirts and jumpers good quality (but did buy a really thin and nasty silky skirt from there once so a bit hit and miss!)

I was going to recommend the kit and kabbodle
one.

BabstheBounder · 21/08/2024 20:31

Oooh, the Kit and Kaboodle is nice too.

I'm off to look at the vinted one, thank you @GiddyHam

@Pimplemud I really want to buy this. What is the sizing like and is it ok on terms of drying and washing? I think I’d wear it with a thermal top underneath.

Pimplemud · 21/08/2024 22:18

@PragmaticDramatic I have it in medium. I’m a size 8-10 (in these days of vanity sizing) and would usually start with trying on size small in places like Jigsaw. The fit on me of the medium is similar to that of the model. I wash all jumpers in the machine in cold water and it seems fine. Am very impressed with the non-bobbliness.

@newrubylane I bought the Amazon look alike and it was terrible quality, really bad. Nasty shiny synthetic material and the stripes are badly printed on the fabric . I'm going to buy the Free People one despite the price, should have just done that in the first place.

Yes was just about to say same. If you're happy to pay the same price as the free people one, and you love the free people one, why on earth don't you just buy it? What am I missing here?

I've got the Kit & Kaboodle Francia one, it's a great shape and comes in lots of colours

BabstheBounder · 22/08/2024 08:04

Thanks all - I've looked at the Kit and Kaboodal one and I don't like the shape round the back, I don't think k that would suit me.

The reason I asked for other suggestions @XiCi is because I wanted to see if there were other jumpers I might like better. No harm, no foul.
