Nice vinatge look racing sweater
(2013-08-26)
The reviews helped me a lot in making a decision. WPG did a great job in allowing this.
First off I love vintage clothing and secondly I''m picky about it.This sweater is a fantastic reproduction of the old ones worn during the 20''s to 40''s. They look great with a news boy cap r fedora. With some knee high boots you''ll be stylin''! I body build. My chest is 42" with a 32" waist. I have big shoulders and arms. If this is your size buy with confidence. I was worried at first about this, as it''s hard to buy clothing as you get bigger.I don''t say this to boast, God forbid I should boast save in the cross...but to instill confidence for the next buyer.I got an extra large. it''s perfect! I have room to wear a shirt and tie,(1920''30''s look..haha)and move about in it with total ease.A very comfortable, and very handsome sweater. I got the cream ( off white .Fast shipping,( I live in VANCOUVER BC) and excellent customer service.( I asked for size differences in XL and 2xl). I ''m 5'' 8" and the sweater length just past above my waist, and ended between navel and groin area, which was perfect.Even if it didn''t you can still portary the war years look as they had to conserve material and made it shorter. I compared this look( past waist) with the ones in old photos of vintage 1930''s catalogues, and the length was the same. I was in the film business, and this sweater is very period looking! I love the extra ''bonus'' i got with the sweater: a nice wool smell!Hope that doesn''t go away!Excellent sweater for the vintage 1920 -30''smotorcycle race, US GI,and 1920''30s sportman''s look! Definitely a must have for your winter wardrobe. Unless you can afford the original, get this! I gave 4 stars coz if I made it I would like the cuffs to be more tighter ( as in the original 30''s ones) , so it will give it a sleek look.
Buy, wear, and give with confidence!

Scent: Normal wool sweater scent. Excellent.
Fit: My sportcoat/suit jacket size is 52. 3XL size for this sweater fits great. If you're 50/52 in a Harris tweed, for instance, I'd go for the 3XL in this sweater.
Quality: Fantastic! What a sweater. As someone else mentioned on this site, if it had a Ralph Lauren nameplate on it, this sweater would easily be $400US.
Accuracy: The exact same sweater as Lee Marvin wore in THE PROFESSIONALS. The exactness and accuracy is phenomenal.
I strongly recommend this sweater for anyone in high desert country, anywhere in the world, and anyone who lives where winter meets mountains.
