Argyll, Fair Isle, and Norwegian styles are definitely in need of a video

[Simeon-Ricecakes]

I personally would love an advanced sweater guide. I shop second hand quite a bit and I always love finding a good sweater so naturally I’ve accumulated a good collection.

[Michael_R]

Wearing a Cardigan today. Would love to see a video on Advanced Sweater Options. Another Preston Home Run. Thanks

[albertobaranao]

YES! I would love a video of advance types of sweater, with the story of those more popular.

Im in my teens but I’ve been watching this channel for ages and love menswear and especially knitwear, blazers, wool ties etc keep up the good work and love your content 😊

[LatimusChadimus]

Definitely one of my most favorite articles of clothing

[richardzak]

Hello GG. I was so pleased that you chose to make a video that focused on sweaters. My collection consists of many of these styles and more and this is my go to item from fall to early spring. I appreciate the sweater as a substitute for a blazer or tweed jacket. Less formal but still looks sharp and put together. Great job on this one.

I recently just discovered the joys of wearing sweaters. I love it so much, especially cricket and tennis sweaters. I just bought some vintage Pendleton cardigan sweaters.

For year round wear in a cold office I like a merino wool v-neck sweater vest. As a matter of fact I just ordered a vintage Brooks Brothers navy fairisle.

[lanceuppercutt]

Hey Preston. Guess what?, I use your videos for my English lessons with my students. Your accent and speak pace si just perfect for that. Also they learn a thing o two in style

[jackiegerarde]

Yes for video on advanced sweater styles

[leonorixson]

My personal staple are cable knit v neck vests/waist coasts. They work perfectly on everyday environments and you can layer them no problem.

[MegatronTarantulas]

I'd love a video on advanced sweater styles.

[kletts]

This is why I like cooler weather. I can wear sweaters (and sport coats) and not melt.

[Yougaljuboja]

Can't wait for the "advanced sweater" video 😁

[MisterKnightly]

I've been waiting for a video on tennis sweaters.

Big fan of this video!
I have all these sweater styles in my wardrobe, but this video still inspired me to try some new outfits with them.
On the casual sweater point - the one I have is a v-neck in a super chunky wool/alpaca blend. Can't praise alpaca enough for its insulating properties - it's the warmest sweater I have by far. Really recommend it in cold weather.
In contrast, I find cashmere sweaters overrated in terms of warmth. They are beautifully soft, and I sometimes wear them by themselves just because they feel so good, but I don't find them as insulating as a similarly thick wool sweater, and nowhere near alpaca. Just something to keep in mind.

I loved Sinatra's Orange Mohair sweater. It looked great on him. Cardigans are favorites with and without collars. Turtle necks look fantastic with Blazers and Sport Coats. Vee Necks look good with or without a coat. Crew Necks look best with the collar of a shirt turned out over them unbuttoned at the neck or simply by themselves. Good video.

[tomasrobertson]

It's warm in the cooler months. Sometimes you just need it!

It is nice to know that sweaters are still in fashion. Cashmir and Merino for me, but I am now in the tropics!
