I need a good medium thickness beater crew neck that fits longish and loose, black or grey. Nothing out there hmm...

all clothes are beaters (if you're doing it right).

i just picked up a margiela that at first glance is like an oversized normcore grey wool stockinette but it's got a subtle 'in-and-out' croc pattern etched into it somehow. i think it's wimmenz but idgaf.

the 'mall brand' thing is very funny to me - i've collected (and made) knits for a long time and some of my favorites are mall brand. if we're being honest knitting is basically a peasant folkway. PRL has done hand knits in China forever and human hands are just that.

so, where are you snobs drawing the line exactly?

No superlative knitwear these days may as well lock this thread.

Berluti had some really nice knits the past few seasons. Not really sure how it will be with KVA there now.

@jet - how are the newer jils? These two caught my eye

No idea man I haven't gone out shopping in many years.

I loved being able to contact my associates and track down any color variation of whatever I was looking for throughout the world for jil and margiela pieces.
