It's nice to see a style video that includes history and factual information. Well done Sir!

[TheNunakun]

I used to refrain from wearing any turtleneck or mockneck because of my shorter stockier neck, but I bite the bullet and wore one for a week, and it's growing on me. Now, they're def in my rotation

One of the greatest things about your video is that you treat various types of clothes in an extensive way and have never been biased towards current fashion trends. I have not known Guernsey sweater in my life, though perhaps I have seen one somewhere, ha ha ha! Good work, Antonio-san!

[Kaiyening]

Turtleneck might be my favourite piece of clothing. I have 6, and I find that cashmere still feels so much better even than super 100+ merino wool. I might be addicted to these.

[wasabista]

I think the first sweater is called a "Guernsey" with a "z" sound? A guerney is a cart for carrying injured people around in a hospital.

Whatever kind of sweater, just go with wool. This unfortunately doesn't work in English, but in Icelandic we have this saying: "Ull er gull" - "Wool is gold". As soon as it gets a little too cold for just a t-shirt, the first thing I go for is a trusty woolen sweater. My favorite one is one knitted by my granddad's wife, in what we call "sheep colours", mostly "kinda-white" with some brown patterning. Too bad that the elbows are wearing out... Another one knitted by my aunt is also nice, but almost entirely black and a little white/grey patterning, and just a little too big. Either I need to bulk up, or wash it a little to make it shrink. Both made from very coarse wool, so very informal/casual, and quite bulky.

And a turtleneck is great. It's comfy, and reminds me of my old Latin teacher, who usually wore a black turtleneck with a silvery-grey suit.

I fucking HATED turtle necks for the longest time. Then when I got my mock neck as part of my Navy uniform, I found it really stepped up my style game when I would wear it with dark jeans and boots. And from then on, I bought a few to wear with my sport coat for warmer winter days.

[edgardohernandez]

I bought a turtleneck back in January and I love it, finally decided to get it tailored so I think I’ll love it even more once It’s fitted!

[monoswinger]

I bought a turtleneck 2 months ago, and - before the armageddon - it definitely doubled my eyecontacts with women everywhere, street, shop, office. I bought some others then :D

[TertleBear]

Antonio, you are the best men’s style channel on YouTube, I’m never disappointed with your content. Thank you!

[barewheels]

I really like turtlenecks. I think they're my favourite style of sweaters, even if pretty much nobody I know at work wears it.

One layering method I like with turtlenecks that is rarely done is wearing it under a dress/button-up shirt, having only the neck peak out. It gives that scarf/cravat look without actually wearing one.

[johnbartel]

I have worn turtleneck sweaters all my life. I don't wear crew neck sweaters anymore as I am 61 years old and prefer the v neck. But my favorite sweaters are my cardigan sweaters. In all I probably have 50 sweaters.

[richardzak]

I just love sweaters and I own at least 25 of different varieties and colors. What I believe is a great look is a nice pair of Dockers with a dress shirt and tie, complete with cufflinks and a cardigan sweater. Not too dressed up but better than semi casual.

[tedstudt]

A great turtleneck fabric option is merino wool. Love that stuff - I have 2 light weight cardigans in merino and I know I've two turtlenecks incoming for Christmas that are made of merino wool. Quite excited to integrate them into my wardrobe

[PritamKayal]

I have sported a green turtle neck full sleeve tshirt now and then during winters with a black jacket... worked good and was comfortable.

[Raiden]

I use turtleneck and I realize that it actually works on me.

[FabiusPyromanus]

In Scandinavia we have a sweater with buttons on one side of the neck towards the shoulder. It is also an old fishermen tradition. A way to create a snug fitting crewneck before elastic fabrics was invented. They look awesome.!

• Guerney sweater: Yes, I’ve got a grey one that’s in wool blend, and I think it’s great to layer on top of a thinner crewneck sweater (yes, it may sound a bit weird, but the thin crewneck sweater is practically invisible, and I do the layering for functional purposes when I go outside since it gets pretty cold where I live even if I wear a parka. I take the guerney off when I go inside).

• Aran sweater: I got a white cable-knit one last year that also is in a turtleneck style. Incredibly warm and comfortable and gives a good fisherman vibe that I like (my family loves fishing and the life near the coast)

• Naval sweater: I own a black one (or is it dark charcoal? I can't tell), and I’ve also got a navy NATO-sweater that’s comparable with a wooly pully. I wear the latter underneath a shell jacket when it's raining outside, but not as the dominating piece since I think it looks a bit too military-like (as in looking like I’m impersonating a soldier rather than taking inspiration from one)

• Crewneck, V-neck, and turtleneck: Yes, that’s the type of sweaters I own the most since they’re so versatile; some of mine are in cotton and some are in merino wool. The v-neck especially is great to wear underneath a sports jacket or to wear with a shirt and tie. I like turtlenecks, but I mostly prefer it to wear it in combination with a coat or a dark denim jacket. I don’t know why I don’t like it as much by itself, but that’s just me.

• Half-button sweater & half-zip sweater: I own the latter and think it’s great to have a casual button-down or flannel shirt underneath.

• Sweater vest: haven’t owned one since I was a kid. Might enjoy it again some day, but not at the moment (since I’m in my mid 20’s I think a sweater vest looks a bit too schoolboy-like)

• Cardigan sweater: don’t own one at the moment, but I like it (might buy one some day).
