I'm working on it. The one I'm currently wearing is pretty nice. It's 100% lambswool, which is good but it's not merino softness. Wholesale sources for wool quarter zips are scarce. I've got calls in to a few suppliers, so if I strike out I'll look you up. Thanks.

My embroidery shop is really close to my house and makes the logistics easy, so hard to beat that.

The $50 price point is looking like it's going to be really hard to hit. I personally am not willing to pay more than $60-70 for a pullover, and I don't expect you guys to either.

I have a 36" sleeve so if you can get in the 35-36" sleeve length for a large, I'm in at the 60-70 price point.

I'm with you there Zane. It looks great. I'd like one if it's doable...maybe two.

Yeah if its too big of a pain no biggie, but if its easy to get I love one

For a good wool sweater I wouldn't flinch at $89 to $99. Make it a turtle neck and I can even wear it while flying (don't laugh unless you fly without doors in the winter too ).

Great idea. I've been having a wooly winter and you can never have too much.

I have been searching for something 100% wool with a hood for those windy/below freezing preflights. I often end up flying in a cotton hooded sweatshirt which is way less than optimal.

Not into hoodies at all, and prefer not to have to pull over--getting old and stiff. What's the possibility of a full zipper?

Now that the subject is hoodies...

I love hoodies. Try waiting on a train platform at Chiba Station, Japan with a mid-winter Siberian wind blowing. I love hoodies!

I really dont like hoodies. Id be in for at least one pullover.

This hoody debate is killing me. Ha.

Hood less pullovers will be the first thing offered and if it's successful I'll look into other styles.

Thanks!

as most of my life will not be standing on a train platform in Japan........

I'll be in for one if either of the two scenarios applies:

1. Chicks will dig me if I wear it.
2. It will make me look slimmer.

Hey, good point! If chicks dig it, might not need the hoodie!

Update:

Still working on finding wholesale garments. The New Zealand stuff will put us at about a $150 price point, which I doubt many of you want. British lambswool gets us quite a bit lower but they aren't answering my emails.

Stay tuned.
