Best jumper

[Hooby Farmer]

I like a good, chunky woollen jumper. I’ve tried woo lovers but find quality v poor. I’m currently wearing a Samuel Windsor - poor finish but ok once you’ve sewn up the badly sewn seams etc.

What is everyone else wearing, Jumper wise?

Just yesterday i got a severe telling off from the missus becomes i was wearing my fisherman style Samuel Windsor jumper out on the farm

I do like the look of these smock things all the lifestyle livestock boys are wearing in the livestock section.

I would still investigate some Swedish or Russian army surplus type stuff though. Much MOD stuff is carp and made by the lowest bidder but some foreign kit is good.

Possum merino from NZ my favourite. Expensive but last well. Several UK suppliers if your are not planning a trip

A British Wool Guernsey, now that this week will be turning chilly. It's getting to the Trigger's broom stage of repair, but is nice to wear.
I have a much finer jumper for better of mostly yak fibre that's only now showing its age (for when it's necessary to leave the holding - v comfortable when a top layer over other fine layers), and also a sml collection of merino ones of various ages.

I like the sound of possum fibre.

proper woolly jump, nice thick cotten check shirt. I hate seeing farmers walking around in grubby hoodies pulled up what a decent collar is for to keep the neck warm.

see some folk at the local collective sale and its obvious that they have not washed or put on a clean set of cloths for days and its not a one off , if you dont take some pride in your appearance are you going to take any pride in your work.

Ive just got a Fortress Eastern jumper (I wrapped it and my 3 yr old gave it to me for xmas). I got it from the local NH dealer and it cost £20 something. It will probably catch fire at the first sight of an angle grinder but its warm with a fleece lining and has pockets and a zip up collar.

It does tend to 'hold onto' the smell of silage a bit more than my other jumpers, according to my wife, so I'm only getting a days wear before it goes into the wash!!

All of mine are wool ones that come from Charity shops.
You have to find shops in well to do areas where there are plenty of old people who didn't have central heating.

Sometimes find a nice Jaeger one!

Chester n Southport?????

Perhaps one of the early signs of depression???
