First off, my stripy wool jumper. Hate to sell it but I never wear it much these days.
This is completely hand made - had sheared (old style clipped), hand carded, hand spun and hand knitted - not by me I hasten to. It is 100% Herdwick wool, not the softest but warm and very hard wearing.
The colours are natural undyed - just from using different coloured fleece to start with.
Size wise - medium. I'm a 39/40 chest and 5'8" and it fits over a t-shirt and heavy shirt fine. I can measure if need be.
Price -- £45 inc p&p to UK address. SOLD PENDING FUNDS
Best idea of the colour:
And Westwinds Tempest jacket, with a few mods. This jacket has press studded cuffs - factory fitted as it where. I've added a waist draw cord and ventile beard guard.
Size is medium.

There are no labels on the jacket except a Snugpack hanging loop. The reason:
The jacket itself is a bit of "history" - it was one of the last jackets Westwinds made before the Snugpack buy out. It is likely the last True Westwinds jacket sold - it got lost in the office following the stock move. I bought it from the factory about 2 years ago and got it a bit cheaper as it wasn't labelled up e and hence classed as unfinished. To be honest I thing they just wanted to clear some space.
Its a lovely jacket but I just don't wear it as I've got a cupboard full of jackets. And as I'm mostly back into climbing type wild camping etc its not what I want. If only I had a dog to take for a walk- it would be a good excuse to keep it, but alas...
Anyway price £140 inc p&p to UK address.
paypal preferred, but cheques etc are fine
