I'm delighted with my Guernsey sweater and am wearing it as I write, It's warm but I can see with the tight weave that it will be that classic wear in all weathers type jumper. I've given up sailing but this is for my outdoor work. The quality and performance is just as I would have hoped for, and size and design wise for a XL - 46" mature male frame it's perfect. But more importantly for me, I've found a supplier that really cares about it's reputation for supplying quality products and customer after care. I look forward to buying the Corblet - with the quarter zip, as soon as it's in stock in my size.
