Top sweater is my dad's from the 70s. It's seen better days but still holding together. Bottom is a sweater I thrifted, I'm taking a guess and saying it's 20+ years old.

I'm sure these are called something else depending on where you live but depending on where you get them, they can cost upwards of $300-400+ new.

True BIFL quality though and perfect for almost any type of weather.

I’m looking at buying a similar type of sweater online. Are these itchy? I can’t tell from photos.

I could see how they could be itchy but I’ve gotten used to it - I’ll often just wear a t-shirt underneath.

They get softer and softer over time - the more you wear one, the nicer it feels
