I want a off white turtleneck that smells like sheep.<br />-HOM<br />PS Both shirts, but not the sweater, I've ordered from them have too short of sleeves.Horrible Old Manhttp://horribleoldman.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-55980141711724393632011-01-10T06:40:24.523-08:002011-01-10T06:40:24.523-08:00I bought one of these about a year ago and, yes, t...I bought one of these about a year ago and, yes, the scratchiness does go away.

I have tended to confine my turtleneck wearing to only the days I have shaved (once or twice per week, max, mainly for reasons of skin sensitivity) for exactly this reason.

Most of his stuff are reproductions made in Pakistan or India when ordering clothes order a size larger! He find lots of real British surplus example his camping gear hard to find and very expensive shipping elsewhere. So I say yes you can find some real bargins!j.mosbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11699622297196781661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-21043201447031910242011-01-04T10:16:07.568-08:002011-01-04T10:16:07.568-08:00There are quite a few apparel manufacturers in the...There are quite a few apparel manufacturers in the United Arab Emirates, including Dubai, especially operating in the Free Zones - benefits are no customs duty, 0% income and corporate tax, no labor restrictions, no currency restrictions, etc. Skilled staff are imported from India and Pakistan and presumably exported again when they cease to be of need.<br /><br />Decent looking sweater.
