We're getting dangerously close to "the Dude", or "el Duderino", if you're not into the whole brevity thing....here.
I bought a couple of those Pendleton sweaters for Lebowskifest-the correct color/pattern ones. Not cheap but really comfortable. Shawl collars are great in a draughty house.

Back to the article though, perhaps they'll start counterfeiting some of the Japanese repro-wear at a fraction of the cost.

They'll knock-off anything if there's a strong enough demand .

Daniel, Ive seen many of this style of sweater for years and years. Starsky's sweater has a certain look to it - the heft, pattern, etc, that is hard to replicate in my eyes. I had a hard time finding one when the show was on the air in the mid-70s.

I've been wearing the Land's End double breasted cardigan in 20 and 30 degree weather and it handles the cold like a champ.

I'm planning to make something like this for cool mornings and evenings around the house. I also plan on doing a hip-length, buttoned smoking jacket. Sunday morning, coffee and paper, the terrycloth bathrobe just doesn't do it and I feel shabby in a pullover sweatshirt or hoodie.

The look and weight, and the materials - its made from silk, cotton and linen would be perfect for me except for the pattern. Ive moved on from that style and would like something a little more solid and subtle.

It looks pretty basic, nothing to get excited about

OK, here's a somewhat odd sweater, but it's been sitting in the back of my mind since I saw it (plus it's from a lounge sponsor):

The color, trim and long cut are appealing, although I'm not wild about the "P" on the chest.

How about sleeveless cardigans? I often wear a sleeveless cardigan at work because it's frequently a little chilly at my desk. I prefer cardigans to pullovers because you can regulate your temperature a lot easier, simple by unbuttoning. Makes a good, if more informal, alternative to a vest.
BTW, that Paul Frederick shawl collar cardigan is on sale now for only $29.95.

Yes that is a very good point about sleeveless cardigans. Air Con offices especially can be rather cold, even when it's hot outside. Rgds Steve.

Not a cardigan, but check out out this ad from a 1922 Montgomery Ward catalog, courtesy of the Riveted blog:

Looks like shawl collar sweaters are back this year. I'm already seeing them in the stores. I got a couple of great ones on clearance from Lucky Brand that I can't wait to wear.

Yes it's interesting how fashions come around again and in many cases the fashions and natural fabrics of yesteryear are much better than those of today. I much prefer wool to man made fibres in sweaters for example and don't like fleeces at all. Rgds Steve.

Nice! You bought any of those, Dinerman? If the quality is good the price is very keen.
