A middle age man at the sales 2 - sweater by Joe Casely-Hayford

Sunday, 8 January 2012

OK, I know I said in my last post about the sales that, like most men, I hate sales. Of course, I went back (to spend a gift voucher) and found this sweater by Joe Casely-Hayford at John Lewis.

I'd been admiring his designs for a while - good classically-inspired items - just what is needed when a man has long long grown out of saggy jeans, trainers and A&F tops!

Initially I thought that it was soft lambswool, but it's made from lovely thick cashmere, not the usual thin stuff one usually sees at the budget end of the cashmere market. The top picture shows its true colour and the bottom the detail of the collar and shoulder.



It is a small size, but, as I've remarked before, I'm finding that either I'm getting smaller as I grow older, or the fashion market is trying to please an ever-increasing sized customer by kidding them that they are a medium when they would once have been a large (or whatever).
