    A-2 or similar with articulated arms/elbows?

    Thanks for the reply! I have a Johnson moto (that is modified to have arm knits, like an A-2) that has gussets and I still have the same issue!

    A-2 or similar with articulated arms/elbows?

    Morning all on this rainy day (on the east coast). I come to you with a question as I've been looking over my jackets and considering the new year. I have what I'd describe as a barrel chest, but I'm relatively short (5'7) and with relatively muscular arms. Every jacket I have, if it fits me in...

    Guernsey jumper

    Maybe high is wrong word- maybe i mean "tight" (eg a small neck hole) which, while retaining a crewneck character, prevents more air coming in while hiking, riding a bike - and I feel looks a bit more polished, as it frames the neck and shoulders better. I love the idea of a submariner but have...

    Does anyone know of Guernseys with high/tight necks? A lot of the types I see online have these really big necks, almost like boat collars (but not quite). I like the 70s style of tight, high neck. Not so tight it cuts off circulation of course, but it feels more proper and "fit" to me this way...
