Has anyone in NZ had delays with items from the UK? I ordered an absolutely outstanding winter jersey last Tuesday (21 April). The company were very helpful re: sizing and got it picked up by the courier within an hour or two. It's now been sitting at the despatch facility near Heathrow for a week, judging by the Royal Mail tracker. I die a little more on the inside every time I check the tracking.

I have noticed stuff from Ali Express taking an age to arrive (none of it has arrived and deadlines are close), and lots of stuff on Amazon is heavily restricted. All part of the covid19 experience

@Smudge waaaaait a minute. Why wouldn't you go the whole hog and order an Icelandic sweater from Iceland?

Oh wait...think you got duped fella...

Yeah I checked the Royal Mail FAQs for info - sounded like they held up deliveries from NZ from March 16-April 6, and have been clearing the backlog since then, but I was hoping the bow-wave might have settled a bit by now.

It's this gorgeous/completely awful (depending on your style) number from The Croft House.

With the state of my beard at the moment, I would easily fit in at the bar at Dutch Harbour, Alaska, in between crab fishing stints. Well, at least until they spotted my disturbingly soft office-worker hands.

@Smudge I was searching for a picture before posting and realised any picture just looked like one of your sweaters and so the actual one would probably outshine anything I found.

Bingo.

It's time for me to retire the infamous Nordic knit cardie after 5 years. This is its replacement.

I was going to say Smudge, wouldn't that neckline be a little annoying on the particularly hairy man?

Not bright enough

Exhibit A

@Crucial doesn't look like @Smudge at all. Huge resemblance to Voltman though.

Has anyone seen the two in the same place?
Just have suspicions

It's tough being fashion-forward like me.

"best" implies there's been some culling. After a quick perusal I realised no one in my life would wear almost any of that.

I'd wear the Herno jacket, #13. But I wouldn't want to have to pay for it.
