I have a sneaking suspicion that Dorian might have been a submarine crew in the navy in his previous life.

Dorian is actually just very old, he has a painting that ages instead of him. Rumor has it he sank the Lusitania (while wearing cashmere)

I really love this comment, great the reference to my avatar.

Brunello Cucinelli is commanding crazy prices: €3,200 for a knit mostly in wool with even some percentages of polyamide and elastan.

Just ordered this Drumohr cashmere turtleneck in EU48. It looks so nicely chunky. According to the measurements, 53cm chest width, it should fit well. I will report on arriving.

Forgot to ask, where did you buy this one?

Also looking for ideas for thin, off white/ecru/ivory turtleneck to be worn under a sport coat, in case anyone has recommendations.

I can't recommend the Ikiji Turtleneck from No Man Walks Alone enough. I have one in every color. Unfortunately, it looks like they are sold out in ecru.

Do you conveniently have some pictures of them handy? Especially curious to see the neck part.

Wanting to join the submariner crew, eh?

John Smedley is a great classic for fine knit in merino wool.

You can also consider a rollneck in cashmere and silk by Luca Faloni.

@epsilon22, @DorianGreen beat me to it. Let me know if you want more pictures.

@DorianGreen I'll look into the Smedley one, actually not super keen on the slightly shiny sheen of the cashmere silk from Luca Faloni.

@ppk do you find the neck more on the snug side or the looser side? From my experience I like snug turtlenecks more, if the neck is a bit loose, when I wear a sport coat, it will push the turtleneck forward and result in some gaping up front.

It's not as tight as a submariner but it is snug. It doesn't gape on me.

Much appreciated! I'll keep an eye on NMWA's site in case they bring these back.
