I like the wool. Is that a ridge in the pattern, or does it have large lapels of some sort? I think I would prefer a more tradition 'vee' shape to the neckline for myself, but I like the general idea. I do like a sleeveless cardigan in place of a waistcoat in colder weather.

It's a bit feminine for my tastes.
