It is a style l never thought i'd like because it is more modern with a small zipper at the front, but it turns out to be my most worn piece of knitwear. When I first wake up l often put this on if it is slightly cool, and l find myself often wearing this most mornings because it is easy to put on over a t-shirt. My face is unshaven after a night sleep, so turtlenecks are no good to wear, so a zip front jumper, cashmere polo or polo with a cableknit over it is ideal.
This is a beautiful rich deep burnt rust orange, and a good solid 2 - 3 ply. As usual, l have been wearing it too much of late and will need to start wearing more polos. Long sleeve polos are great for putting on when l first wake up too. If it is extra chilly i'll slip on the 10 ply cashmere cableknit by Malo over it or the 6 ply William Lockies.
Eventhough a zip front and polo isn't my favourite knitwear, they get the most use. Quite ironic. I really need to get more zip fronts and cashmere polos.
I haven't pulled out my Malo 10 ply yet, but l am going to start wearing it again. It is yet another jumper that can become a morning habit where it can be worn nearly every morning for weeks on end. I really enjoy my knitwear. Saw a vintage Ballantyne zip front recently, but too cheap to buy it. Grr.

The Shooman can easily combine it with his heavy corduroy and big butch bluchers and he will still well turned out.
