"But there are other options, like the famed Shaggy Dog from J. Press. Ivy to the core, the Shaggy Dog still retains the hallmarks of winter sweater functionality: 100-percent Shetland wool, hand brushed for softness, and a good array of colors. If the brand doesn't currently carry your favorite hue, an eBay search will. Though buyer beware, there's a culture of color hunting that will have you bidding against serious collectors."
"Long live the Billy Crystal fit. I will concede that the traditional style runs fairly chunky. And since most of us aren't out hauling lobster pots on the high seas, we could use a slimmer take. Once again, Buck Mason provides. This Herdsman Shawl Collar delivers a 9-gauge merino wool that wouldn't itch you even if you jumped into a bed full of feathers."
"Not so with Uniqulo, which has mastered the budget-friendly take without cutting material corners. This sweater is in 100 percent lambswool. This golden yellow hue that doesn't actually transmit warmth, but it seems like it does. It does run thinner than others on this list. If you're shopping on a budget and looking for more heft, vintage Orvis is my secondhand sweater of choice. LL Bean is also a good bet. Just double check sizing, which has varied wildly from both"
Recommended winter sweaters span heritage and modern takes: J. Press Shaggy Dog offers 100-percent hand-brushed Shetland wool in many colors and strong winter functionality, often found on eBay amid collector competition. Buck Mason’s Herdsman Shawl Collar provides a slimmer 9-gauge merino shawl-collar alternative to chunky fisherman knits while remaining soft and non-itchy. Uniqlo supplies a budget-friendly 100-percent lambswool sweater that is thinner but well made for its price. Vintage Orvis and LL Bean are suggested secondhand options for more heft. Sizing can vary across brands and vintage pieces, so careful checking is advised.
