The sizes are quite large, as they should be on an old-time sweater like this. The chart below shows the actual measurements of the garment. Note that since this is a knitted product, it stretches a lot. Thus, the selection process doesn’t have to be precision engineering.

If you want a slimmer fit, go one size smaller. Even two sizes smaller could probably work for a hipster-tight condom fit. However, this kind of traditional sweater isn’t in its element there. If the sleeves are too long, folding will take care of that very nicely. The neck is long enough for everyone but a giraffe.

The back length is measured in the middle, from the collar seam to the hem, and the sleeve length from the collar seam to the cuff end.

Materials

Main material: 100% Finnish wool from Finnsheep, also known as Finnish landrace. This is a very old Finnish sheep breed. The shirt is coarse and really thick, and it has that lovely clean sheep smell.

Elbow and shoulder reinforcements: Italian Alcantara, 68% polyester, 32% polyurethane. This super durable material is used, for example, in the car and furniture industry.

The yarn is made in Finland by Pirtin Kehräämö. The knit is otherwise 1x1 rib, except on the cuffs and the collar 2 x 2. The sweaters are made in Finland by Top-Knit Oy.
