Home today walking the dog.

Today's get-up is a mix of England, USA and France and consists of my first vintage Barbour Beaufort, a traditional L.L.Bean Norwegian sweater over a nice L.L.Bean Blackwatch flannel shirt, some corduroy trousers and my green Aigle wellies.

And a dog leash of course.

Have a nice day!

Norwegian sweater today.

My L.L.Bean Norwegian Sweater. The one and only!

 

 

GANT vs. L.L.Bean: Norwegian Sweater Battle

As I mentioned in my previous post, I just went to the mall to buy a Levi's 501 (size 33/34 in "one wash", if you'd like to know).

Stopping by at GANT's, I've noticed the same Norwegian sweater (navy/white) I've bought several weeks ago from L.L.Bean.

Priced at something around 220 Euros, it costs twice as much as L.L.Bean's (made in Norway!).

The GANT sweater comes with 20% of Nylon, just like the old one from L.L.Bean all our Trad and Preppy blogger friends seem to prefer (Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out where it was made).



So, here's the GANT sweater:

And here's is L.L.Bean's:

The direction of the patterns is the same. But the GANT sweater comes with a label on the left side right over the waistband.

What do you think about that?

Last day in the office. From Monday on I'll enjoy 2 weeks of Christmas holidays with my family.

My new Norwegian sweater by L.L.Bean

Antithesis to yesterday's getup: Rather rugged.

L.L.Bean: I want this sweater for Christmas!
