筆者の体形は、身長171cm、体重73kg。全体的に肉付きが良く、スポーツ経験を問われることが多い。 筆者が購入したのはSサイズ。 The author’s build is 171 cm tall and weighs 73 kg; he is generally well-fleshed and his sports experience is often questioned. The author purchased the S size.
The sizing is snug. If you want to wear it more loosely, you may be able to go up one size, but personally, I think it is better to wear it with a snug fit.
The fabric is quite firm and sturdy. It is too sturdy and a bit depressing around the neck. I thought sweaters were supposed to be fluffier and gentler. It is so sturdy that it makes you think, “Isn’t a sweater supposed to be fluffy and gentle? It is so hard and heavy that you don’t feel like you are wearing a sweater at first. Also, the yarn itself is so sturdy that I wondered how it would tear. If you rub it against your skin, the sweater usually crushes, but it definitely doesn’t crush and your skin loses.
It is quite thick, and it is difficult to wear it under outerwear that is usually worn just right. The author once wore it under a Babur, but the arms were particularly snug, so much so that you could see the pattern of this sweater over the Babur.
It is warm and windproof enough to be worn without an outer layer. I also wear IRON HEART’s G-janes and down vests. Incidentally, it is not made so thin that you can easily take it off when you enter a train or a store.
The hem and sleeves are ribbed. The sleeves are long and have thumb holes. I usually wear it with the sleeves folded back, but when my hands are cold, I extend them. The hem is tight and does not fall down smoothly on the author, who has large hips, but it is loose.
There is no front or back, so you can wear it without thinking. However, it hits my throat no matter which way I put it on.
The above seems to be quite a lot of disadvantages, but I really like the fact that it is heavy, sturdy, and warm, which gives me a sense of security. I don’t think you should imagine something cute just because it is knit, but I think it looks quite good when worn. And the overwhelming sturdiness of the garment makes me think that it will last a lifetime, which is also very good. When I bought it, it was about \30,000, but now I was surprised at \5~60,000. I know they say that standard items don’t get cheaper, but it’s a bit of a quirk that they are almost double the price… The prices seem to increase in the order of dyed fabrics, non-dyed fabrics, and indigo-dyed fabrics. The most expensive indigo-dyed fabric costs about \90,000.

2009年創業の比較的新しいブランド。デンマークのブランドだが、縫製はイタリアで行われている。海洋国家で栄えたニット文化を残すべくアンデルセン夫妻が立ち上げたものだが、デンマークでは求めるセーターが編めずイタリア生産となってしまったのは少し悲しさが漂う。ただ、タグにある for sailor and hunter との説明は伊達ではない。
English
A relatively new brand established in 2009. It is a Danish brand, but the sewing is done in Italy. It was established by Mr. and Mrs. Andersen to preserve the knit culture that flourished in the maritime nation, but it is a little sad that they could not knit the sweaters they wanted in Denmark and had to produce them in Italy. However, the description “for sailor and hunter” on the tag is not a gift.
