I was so excited that Bike Snob is getting a Rivendell that I missed the big news in my inbox - my Cheviot sweater just shipped! Thankfully we still have some cold weather ahead this year.
Take care,
I'm assuming more than a few people on this list ordered them as well.
Take care,

Yeah, me also -- really excited for it! Looks like it'll be the "utility" sweater for commuting, long rides, etc.

mine as well. but mine is a small.
i called a month ago to see if i could get one. not as far as they knew.
so i spent hours looking for the perfect sweater for post season 30% off, nope.
when the new opportunity for a WW appeared in my inbox i grabbed it post haste.
later that day i got a personal message from Rory saying i could get one.after all.
he had made a note a month ago when i called, and even remembered my size.
i was already in the pipeline with my order, but what good work Riv does, and what a good guy Rory is.

Ugh, looks like they are sold out again! I'll have to put my name of the list for next time.

Dear All,
Best Regards,
My derby tweed crewneck arrived while I was out of the country. I've had a chance to wear it for a day and a half, and have the following initial impressions:
It is a fine-wale 2X2 knit. Various grey tones with some green in it. It reads as green under florescent lights, and grey in sunlight.
The fabric is slightly lighter-weight than the prior WW sweater I owned, which was a jersey-knit with a button collar and back pockets, and was my favorite winter cycling garment ever.
The fit is pretty typical for a medium-weight dress sweater, stretchy and long-ish. Overall, the silhouette is similar to a wooly-pully (USMC issue sweater) without the arm and shoulder reinforcement patches; the sleeves are a bit longer (thankfully for me). This is also a more-refined object than a standard wooly-pully (which is also a 2X2 wale, short arms, a bit coarser, and not as well finished as this garment). My size large fits about like a 42 and is one of the very few sweaters that I can wear with the cuffs turned back. I find it borderline hot for indoor wear over a cotton OCBD shirt and a sleeveless wool undershirt.
It is a keeper.
It is a keeper.
Best Regards,
Will
