Dear all,
I'm looking for a very standard-fitting relatively heavy-weight (but not overly) navy blue roll neck sweater in a soft wool or cashmere. I'd be tempted to call it a 'submariner', but i'm not sufficiently confident of the definition and think that garment may other features (e.g. length) that i'm not after here.
I have a 'Norfolk' by Trunk in a lovely soft merino in taupe, which is just the right weight, but hasn't been sold for a while and not sure it was ever available in navy.
My favourites Lockie have one that looks about right, but only down to 40", when really i need a 36". Colhays have a good cashmere one but at £580 it feels a little rich, and i don't know of the quality.
Can anyone give me some good go-to suggestions here please?
Many thanks indeed.

Polo has one - it is 90% heavy merino + 10% cashmere - and retails for $248 USD. They have the in navy, black and a great deep shade of tan called "heather oak." Great chunky weave, high tight neck, nails your brief.

Here's one. I have a silk and linen crew neck from them. It runs big.


O'Connells has a big selection. I don't think any are "chunky " enough.
