I tend to wear a Gansey or a Guernseys most of the time and there are some great companies and knitters around who can do traditional patterns for you. One in traditional worsted in black or dark navy will last you a lot of years.
For those who like quality basics, what are you go to sweatshirts?
Sunspel are a great fit but not cheap.
Trickett super heavy, fantastic but limited supply.
Lyle and scott - not bad for the money.
Im a lucky bit and don’t really need anything, I am thinking all I really could do with is a new grey or black quality sweater.
Has anyone tried the merz b Schwanen 346? They look quality, or am I missing out on other brands.

Lyle and Scott? Where are they made these days?!
Always go for Sunspel or Good Measure myself, very good.
Rapanui are good and very well priced for sweatshirts.

I use Asket for the basics. Great quality for your money.
Folk do a nice organic cotton sweatshirt or Community Clothing for made in England kudos, and reasonably priced:

Thanks for the suggestion, had some colourful standard stuff and it’s not bad for the money. Community clothing are loopback, might grab one
I really like the pina cotton ones from Ralph Lauren that I’ve bought in Florida and Vegas over the years at the outlets for good prices. See them in department stores across the U.K. and Europe and the are quite expensive - around £120. Sometimes they have them in the Bicester outlet for between £40 and £60. Last time they didn’t have any so it’s pot luck.
I like the look of the Community Clothing ones, but they always seem to be out of stock in the size I want. I have a waxed cotton Harrington from them that's very nicely made, so I suspect the sweatshirts would be nice.

Hawico for Cashmere
Has anyone tried Rapunui? They are made in the U.K. and using organic cotton and are really competitively priced.

I'd also recommend these guys. Quality is excellent, UK made and have some great colours.
