Very cool story, Herringbonekid. Really bright colors. It's just obvious Ralph Lauren would snatch the design.
The website of the 'Vintage Showroom' in London's Earlham Street shows a rather nice pile of Fair Isle knitwear:

Picked up this cashmere blend vest from Polo today. $15!!!
I've been watching quite a bit of the "Wooster & Jeeves" series and decided I need to get my hands on some Fair Isle sweaters/vests. I hunted around the internet/ebay and nothing really caught my eye as being vintage looking enough. Any suggestions in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Owch, I have that exact one, but I paid much more than $15. That's a great price!
Instead of starting a new thread on the same subject, I figured it would be much more appropriate to ask my question here, and thus also rejuvenating this thread of excellent information.
I am on the lookout for a fair isle (or fair isle -inspired) sleeveless sweater. After reading through the entire thread, and following the various links provided herein, I seem to be without many options. Most of the links sadly no longer provide the product in question.
The authentic Scottish outlets is a bit out of my budget, with the prices starting at around 230£.
I have found Drakes of London, who got a decent selection at 135£, and Darcy Clothing at 84£.
My problem is that I do not really fancy any of the designs carried by Darcy or Drakes, and I'm not very keen on spending a lot if the product is just right.
Can anyone point me in the direction of other suppliers of fair isle (or fair isle -inspired) sleeveless sweaters?
