Stuart is English and last I checked Americans speak English so I'm confused why there would ever be the possibility of not understanding him. 😂. You do know that the Yorkshire accent is the purest (historically speaking) most accurate English accent that exists? Read Mother Tongue by fellow American Bill Bryson... a fantastic author.
As a (sub) Mariner from the South Bank of the Humber, I appreciate this video. I think you need to work more on your Grattan catalogue poses though Stu - you forgot the one looking wistfully & pointing into the distance....
I wouldn't buy a Swiss motorcycle either. It's a whole other world getting them serviced. The general Swiss play book is to buy the competition and shut them down.
Me too lol ! I wear a $20 WWII RAF Pilot replica watch. I'm in Northern California. I really like the bike culture I see on the brit channels. I'd really like to ride there in the countryside
Main reasons I subscribed to your Channel....1. Your accent. 2. East Yorkshire Scenery 3. Interesting deep dialogue with occasional subtle political overtones. Robot voices have thier place, but we don't want them taking over.
Robots SHOULD NOT HAVE THEIR PLACE. Unless it's defusing unexploded bombs. Robots are one of the most dangerous inventions of mankind. AI robots should scare the wits out of all thinking people.
“…lasts a lifetime.” Just make sure to handwash these in cold water only otherwise they will barely fit a toddler. I found out the hard way after an accidental gentle machine wash at 30º… I just bought my third goldtop submariner as I wear them all the time in winter. They are the most comfortable, cosiest jumpers I ever owned! And they look the business under a Barbour on a 1963 Norton! Great review!
Didn't realise you could buy these - I'm in the fortunate position that I've been issued mine from the clothing store as a still-serving submariner. There's a real pride (for me) in owning one!
I can remember the itchy jumpers, I'm pretty sure that the school uniform one was woven out of Brillo pads. The same applies to the green CCF ones we were obliged to wear. The fibres could penetrate any undergarments and get to work on your skin.
Great garment. But I’m sticking with my GMT Master for my other vehicles which also lean, (actually banks). You’re an inspiration as I rich mandatory retirement.
'We Dive at Dawn', 'Above us the Waves', 'Heroes of Telemark', 'Guns of Navarone'! Take yer pick. When men were men. This is, therefore, perfect attire for riding motorcycles in the frigid months. Another good one, Mr Fllingham. 👍
Stu I'm American and can understand you perfectly. Your voice would be a great voice for reading audio stories and scripture. Thank you sir. Your channel is great. BTW my wife agrees with me on your voice and the clarity in your speech.
What a surprise to hear a cold French voice commenting that video. Happily TH-cam allowed me to come back to the original warm voice being part of the interest of your channel. Thank you Stuart for your video , very much appreciated . Best regards from France
You introduced me to Goldtop a while ago when you reviewed their flying jacket. I have my eyes on one of those for decades. I have worn one but never owned one. Goldtop are a fantastic company. I have my eyes on one of these merino submariner jumpers and a few pairs of their gloves, so thank you for showing us this.
Great review video Stu, I really appreciate the background information on the British motorcycle scene from the 50s and 60s and would love to see more about it. Keep up the good work
I'm new to your channel. In Georgetown Delaware USA. I'm 63 soon, introduced to your channel watching your video on your never too old to start riding. I've had my license since 17yo im down sizing from a sporster to
Mmm…flexing that (other, wrist-worn) Sub, while showing us that comfy-n-handsome Sub, which I now need to seriously think about, since I haven't come across anything here in the States that matches this, which is rather sad. My only dilemma here: Ecru or Black?
I have several pairs of Merino wool socks , they are a winter essential . Warm feet are a Must if You want to keep warm in winter along with a decent sweater ( mines a crew neck ) , another trick I use is to get a decent scarf and wrap it around My waist and under the wool pull over with which helps keep the body core warm , boiler suits hold the whole lot together helping stop draught's , neck tube , waterproof outer layer , heated grips and decent waterproof gloves , Oh and a pair yellow night driving glasses ( stops the dazzle from the modern HID head lamps on wet roads ) are about all I need for just about any cold dark winter ride & I ride pretty much 365 because I don't own a car . Thanks Stuart . Ride Safe & Ride Free .
Itchy jumpers were a main stay of my childhood 😂 I like a lot of stuff Mountain Warehouse do (they have a shop at Lakeside in Doncaster), they have a very similar one but with a zip on the neck. Nothing like keeping warm during the winter months on the bike.
Good video Stuart sitting here in the garage watching it listening to the rain and wind thankful that i have retired after 46 yrs gardening or i would have been out in it my original 1972 bsa a65l has just come up for sale it was three months old when i got it temptation it cost me £320 but a lot more now have a good weekend
Thanks Stuart, for this good advice! I have a stylish submariner with alpaka and merino and had no interest to wear it since 20 years! I considered to give it to the clothing collection! Today I've made a tour about one and a half hour at 8 degree. Yeah! That's my new, old winter equipement for motorbiking! 👍 Best wishes from Germany🙏🏻
As a finn, although living in Sweden I also understand you well enough not to have any need of translations, be it AI generated or not. My biking sweater is from some clothes warehouse, it is mostly wool with some modern material added. Warm enough, with a decent jacket over but I never ride during the winter. Although we don´t have polar bears here it is still cold enough to get frostbite, even if the temperature might be up just a little over zero. The windchill is just too much and it is very unusual for anyone to ride out in the traffic during the winter months. The offroad guys ride, and there is riding on ice (speedway) but on the roads there are no bikes to be seen. As a youngster in the seventies I used to ride until the first snow came, and start again when the daytime sun was able to melt asphalt roads but now I cowardly lengthen winter with a month on both sides. On the other hand there was a lot of stuff I used to do back then that I don´t do anymore. As we all, propably. I try do avoid rain, also and riding in dark when I can. But I still consider myself a real motorcyclist...
Ey uup Stewart, maybe I missed something, other than no upload this morning. Maybe your just taking a well earned break? Either way lad, I hope all is well with thee. Looking forward to your next video 😊
Had a submariner (and the socks) from the local Army Surplus store in the 1970's, used to wear it under a Great Coat while riding my Panther - all now long gone, unfortunately.
When I was riding (sadly can't any more) I had and still do have a problem with wool next to my skin. I had an acrilan scarf to protect my neck from the cold. Worked VERY well and didn't irritate my delicate baby skin 🤣😂The saying 'You're not a biker if'......Anything they say after that is rubbish. I never wore one of these jumpers, or a Belstaff coat or any of the other stuff to be mentioned but still considered myself a dedicated biker. Anyone who rides a bike all year round as I and countless others did was a biker through and through. Nice vid as ever Stuart. Ride safe mate.
Great job done with being a fashion model showing us some fantastic sweater apperal. Your UK accent was easy to understand, im from Michigan-in the U.S.A. you sole clearly and unrushed. I think it would be wonderful if you were to do these advertisement spots for Royal Enfield and their motorcycles. Keep up the great work! Doug🏍️👍🤗🐻
Great pullover, Stuart might put it on the Santa list, on an other note, are you going to be doing a Christmas story again, I thoroughly enjoyed the last 2, stories especially "in the morgue" 😂
G'day mate, how they hanging? One thing we don't have to worry about is the cold here in South Australia it's the bloody heat. Some days will hit 48c and you just can't ride in that, winter averages high 20s which is nice riding temp. Enjoying your channel.
Lol i dunno about that mate, i was driving back to perth with a camper trailer and spent a freezing night at the top of the bite .was definately below freezing, after a sleepless night i got up and started a fire to warm up . The mrs thought i was doing it to have a romantic brekky .
Looks classy and I bet it's quite warm. You like good in it, Stewart. I used to wear turtleneck sweaters when I lived in really cold places. Later I stopped wearing them because they messed up my styled, flowing beard. US $145 per piece is not too bad for a good quality, Merino wool sweater. I don't need one where I live in North Texas, where there aren't that many bitter cold days. But, I might get one for that week or two in February every year. Why not? 😃
No problems understanding you, we, the french speaking in Québec we got the same thing from the french from France always saying that they don't understand us! Humbug I say😉
Phew, thank the Lord for that! From the title I thought you were going to say ‘gout or house-maids knee’. Great jumpers and you’ll be on the front cover of Vogue (Hull) by March. Good advice for the Submariner, and have a great weekend Stuart! 😉👍
What a scare I got at the beginning of the video! xD For a second, I wondered if it was done on purpose, as a joke. Then I saw the option, and your wonderful British accent returned. Greetings from Spain!
It used to be straightforward to buy a new Submariner before scalpers entered the scene. Now, in the Philippines, any Submariner for sale is likely to be either overpriced, pre-owned, or marked up by scalpers, and you also have to be cautious of counterfeiters. It's advisable to visit a Rolex store to verify its authenticity. I would prefer to acquire a watch that is genuinely manufactured to ensure that all components are authentic.
The timing of this video is perfect for me as my Dog literally chewed holes in my pure cashmere jumper last night whilst my back was turned! Not only has this made up my mind in which jumper to get next, but yet again equated to me watching 1 of your videos only to find me parting with more money! 😂 At least you’ve done the homework for me. 👊😎👍
Great video,not many out there on jumpers for colder weather.I don't ride in the winter myself ,but if abit chilly l put on base layers which work fine and aren't bulky.👍
Good morning Stu. Nice video. I can’t be doing those AI generated voices. If I’m watching a video with a robot voice, I turn the sound down and read the transcript. The Submariner looks a nice bit of kit. I remember seeing them in the army surplus shop when I was a kid. They used to be on a dummy next to the flying jackets. If I known then what I know now, I’d have saved my pennies and bought their entire stock of both.
Love this style. Shackleton do an amazing alternative called the Hero. Made as a recreation of the jumpers made for arctic and antarctic exploration. Pricey, but you get what you pay for and I love mine. It's my Sub-Zero go to, 5 years old and as good as day one.
Every British WW2 based film worth its salt, featuring the Royal Navy also featured the crew on the bridge wearing these. A timeless practical design 🙂
I'm must admit I try many different ways of keeping warm and I'm thinking that looks like a good barrier to wear under my jacket. Biggest problem at the moment is keeping my hands warm, heated grips are very good but still don't protect fingers enough as your constantly using controls and even more so at night. Its can be quite expensive trying different gloves as well.
I don’t know if it’s the way I hold my handlebars but it’s my thumbs that get cold even with heated grips. A few weeks ago I bought a cheap (£7.99) pair of handlebar mitts from TEMU just to act as a windbreak and in combination with the heated grips I’m now quite happy. They don’t claim to be waterproof and I’m sure they are not, but more expensive mitts are available. I know where all the switches are on my handlebars so not being able to see them is not a problem for me, but it may be more of an issue for anyone with lots of tech and multiple switches on their bike. You do have to be aware of course that if you take a hand off the bars, to open or wipe a visor for example, you have to put your hand through the mitten opening to get your hand back on the bars. It’s not been a problem but just to avoid any panic I try to time taking my left hand off the handlebar so I’m not about to come up to a junction and need to use the clutch in a hurry 🇬🇧
I love your voice and the eeyyyyy up and Especially when you did your ghost stories . I was in a quiet trance . Need to hear more Stewart !! . Love all your content ❤
Yes, a lot your comments about the damp air I’m actually 62 now and the first one of my jumpers my mother needs it for me when I was 18 year old on my 250 BSA barracuda and whilst a friend of mine now has my old Bsa I do actually still own the same jumper. I just keep it as a keepsake.👍😂 remembering what things used to be like
I have one. I bought it from a wool shop in Penzance. It isn’t Merino wool, so it is cheaper but it does itch. You just have to wear a long sleeve t shirt underneath. Which I would in any case. It is warm. When I was trying it on the old fella in the shop said I looked like a spitfire pilot. I had to buy it after that.
Hello Stuart, nice to see your film about the Submariner. I use to have it in the days, great looking and comfortable, but hard to find in the shops these days here in Sweden. Maybee via your link here, but I'm oldschool and like to go to shop for buy clothes. Great and relaxing film, like it ! Have a great weekend Stuart 🙂
Hamsterjam calling! Hearing you loud and clear from the flatlands of NL. I now feel knowledgeable on the submariner's jersey. Is it what Captain Birdseye wore?
Thanks Stu. These are great jumpers. I have a black and a navy one. I’d like an Ecru one too. Wear them in winter all the time, on and off the bike. The weight of the jumper says it all about the quality. As ever, Goldtop are really nice to deal with too.
Hi Stuart, I’m watching your adventures with my MacBook and the translator that TH-cam offers me is written. It’s like watching a movie in its original version with the translation written at the bottom of the screen. I set the written language otherwise it is written in English! Good day Mate.
Nice to see the yoke bear making a special guest appearance again! I had a cheap copy of the jumper back in the 70’s, and like you say, a couple of washes and it was knackered.
Brilliant video as always Stuart and I used to have a Norwegian army jumper, different neck design but I absolutely loved it 😌, this jumper looks very impressive indeed, I currently use ZeroFit under garments in Merino wool 😃👍🏻
Now I know, in the white/cream submariner, you remind me to Sean Connery in the Hunt for Red October!!! I do like the jumper but wonder of the make a “tall” version for those over 6’ 4” tall. Thanks for sharing this video.
I've got the same white one as you, wouldn't mind a navy one as well. I've got lots of bits from Goldtop including my jacket. All extremely well made stuff. Loved the smouldering look at the camera whilst modelling it!
man, thank you for making this video. I've been on the fence with buying one of these because, as you mention, they are expensive. It would easily be the most expensive sweater I've ever bought by a country mile. I've bought some other GoldTop stuff and they are exceptional quality gear so it does put the mind at ease knowing I'm sure to get something exceptional in the mail...but the cost is not easy for me, I can't deny. I think I'm going with the slim fit but buying a size larger than needed for a more relaxed fit?
I have had one of these Goldtop jumpers for few years. I love it. But you have to be careful about the jacket or coat you wear with this type of jumper. While buttoned jackets have no effect, jackets that close with a zipper can quickly ruin the front of the jumper. As long as the jacket is closed, and has a wind flap, no problem. But when, for example, you walk with the jacket open, the left side of the zipper acts like a "saw" and destroys the look of the jumper and wears it out prematurely.
Just keep them out of the way of blasted moths, they play havoc with anything wool! Other than that they are the perfect cold weather under jacket garment. If they keep you warm at sea they’ll keep you warm anywhere.👍
At the start , I thought you was going to say the translator was going to be for those in the UK, but outside Yorkshire who don`t understand the language. Just kiddn. Live close to yourself, so in particular over the phone there can be a Darn sarrth / Up Nerth language barrier
I had one of the surplus jumpers back in he sixties when Army and Navy stores were my personal trailers. :-) It wore out but I've still got my 1952 US Army Korean War Parka. The modern ex navy and army jumbers just have a crew neck which is a pity but they do have wear patches on the shoulders and elbows so swings and roundabouts. Just as long wearing and warm as the old style though, except around the neck..
I got some of the cold air blocking pants/ shirt, axial brand. You won't be warm, but it makes a huge difference without adding much thickness. Well, unless it's warm out, then you get very hot
Hi Stuart, your dress style is nearly perfect....😂. But without joke, the clothings have the good style, I prefer my old Barbour with such a pullover futs perfect, from my point of view better than Goretex. Have all a nice weekend, weather is for Grappa or Whisky in the evening, oh sh.... time to get firewood from the garage.
The trouble i find with this type of jumper is they are terribly unflattering for my figure! I prefer merino base layer and a down jacket for insulation. Less cool factor, but effective
As an American, I would like to say that I don’t have a problem understanding what you’re saying.
Me neither, and I'm a non native English speaker.
Stuart is English and last I checked Americans speak English so I'm confused why there would ever be the possibility of not understanding him. 😂. You do know that the Yorkshire accent is the purest (historically speaking) most accurate English accent that exists? Read Mother Tongue by fellow American Bill Bryson... a fantastic author.
As a (sub) Mariner from the South Bank of the Humber, I appreciate this video. I think you need to work more on your Grattan catalogue poses though Stu - you forgot the one looking wistfully & pointing into the distance....
😂
Phew! That's a let off. Thought he was expecting me to drop NZ$15,000 at the nearest Rolex dealer.
😂😂
I wouldn't buy a Swiss motorcycle either.
It's a whole other world getting them serviced.
The general Swiss play book is to buy the competition and shut them down.
Me too lol ! I wear a $20 WWII RAF Pilot replica watch. I'm in Northern California. I really like the bike culture I see on the brit channels. I'd really like to ride there in the countryside

My wife knitted me a merino polo neck years ago. Doesn't come out often but when the temprature drops it's a godsend.
Great garment. But I’m sticking with my GMT Master for my other vehicles which also lean, (actually banks). You’re an inspiration as I rich mandatory retirement.
'We Dive at Dawn', 'Above us the Waves', 'Heroes of Telemark', 'Guns of Navarone'!
Take yer pick. When men were men.
This is, therefore, perfect attire for riding motorcycles in the frigid months.
Another good one, Mr Fllingham. 👍
Oh Arrr, back in them days when ships were wood and the men were steel. 🤣🤣
'When men were steel'. They certainly were.
I'm assuming you're not including yourself in that category, then? 🤭

I am American and you ate coming through loud and clear. Use more Scottish words like “aye”. Love your channel.
Us in the south will now understand what 'Eh up!' means Uncle Stu 😀
Hope your alright. I enjoy all of your vids, keep them coming,

I don’t ride in cold weather (I know: not a real biker), but when I did there was only one brand I used: Rukka.
Crazy expensive but very good quality.

@Justin-yy2sh bloody Adelaide, nearly always hot and dry.
My old man had one and a leather flying jacket over the top.. with the big fur collar. Old boy roasted in it. 😅
Looks classy and I bet it's quite warm.
You like good in it, Stewart.
I used to wear turtleneck sweaters when I lived in really cold places. Later I stopped wearing them because they messed up my styled, flowing beard.
US $145 per piece is not too bad for a good quality, Merino wool sweater.

I have several military issue wool sweaters i bought cheap at the army surplus store.
Thats a great video Stuart. Anything you recommend is a good choice. So much so I have purchased said jumper. Albeit it at £130.00. 😮
The timing of this video is perfect for me as my Dog literally chewed holes in my pure cashmere jumper last night whilst my back was turned!

Merino wool? Do have these in Australia! 😂 Like the ultra fine wool and you can wear it anytime including summer socks. Yep good stuff.
I don't like the cold weather, I just don't ride my bike below 10ºC
I'm must admit I try many different ways of keeping warm and I'm thinking that looks like a good barrier to wear under my jacket.

I know where all the switches are on my handlebars so not being able to see them is not a problem for me, but it may be more of an issue for anyone with lots of tech and multiple switches on their bike. You do have to be aware of course that if you take a hand off the bars, to open or wipe a visor for example, you have to put your hand through the mitten opening to get your hand back on the bars. It’s not been a problem but just to avoid any panic I try to time taking my left hand off the handlebar so I’m not about to come up to a junction and need to use the clutch in a hurry 🇬🇧
Mine is an original MOD one with taped seams etc wouldn't be without it and it still looks great after years of use and abuse.
Like that black bike Stuart.Nice sweater also.Cheers from Canada
Gotta love the merino! Got the undergloves and the vest, toasty
Hi Stu, You only need the Goldtop Merino socks now to be nice and warm top to toe throughout winter. No problem with translation here in Yorkshire😂
Fortunately we can choose to listen to the original audio...
I love your voice and the eeyyyyy up and Especially when you did your ghost stories . I was in a quiet trance . Need to hear more Stewart !! . Love all your content ❤
Yes, a lot your comments about the damp air I’m actually 62 now and the first one of my jumpers my mother needs it for me when I was 18 year old on my 250 BSA barracuda and whilst a friend of mine now has my old Bsa I do actually still own the same jumper. I just keep it as a keepsake.👍😂 remembering what things used to be like
I have one. I bought it from a wool shop in Penzance. It isn’t Merino wool, so it is cheaper but it does itch. You just have to wear a long sleeve t shirt underneath. Which I would in any case. It is warm. When I was trying it on the old fella in the shop said I looked like a spitfire pilot. I had to buy it after that.
I think James Bond wore a sweater similar to that in a movie.
A work colleague was wearing one at work this week, I asked him where he parked, and his submarine! 😊
A timely review. Planning to ride the Himalayas next year and a warm Submariner might be just the ticket
Reminded me of some swimming trunks that my Nan knitted me, I’d be in the sea paddling and my trunks would be six waves behind, full of scampi. 😂
Hello Stuart, nice to see your film about the Submariner.
I use to have it in the days, great looking and comfortable, but hard to find in the shops these days here in Sweden.
Maybee via your link here, but I'm oldschool and like to go to shop for buy clothes.
Great and relaxing film, like it !
Have a great weekend Stuart 🙂
Hamsterjam calling!
Hearing you loud and clear from the flatlands of NL. I now feel knowledgeable on the submariner's jersey. Is it what Captain Birdseye wore?
i used to love the army surplus stores
Thanks Stu. These are great jumpers. I have a black and a navy one. I’d like an Ecru one too. Wear them in winter all the time, on and off the bike. The weight of the jumper says it all about the quality.
As ever, Goldtop are really nice to deal with too.
Hi Stuart, I’m watching your adventures with my MacBook and the translator that TH-cam offers me is written. It’s like watching a movie in its original version with the translation written at the bottom of the screen. I set the written language otherwise it is written in English! Good day Mate.
Nice to see the yoke bear making a special guest appearance again! I had a cheap copy of the jumper back in the 70’s, and like you say, a couple of washes and it was knackered.
Brilliant video as always Stuart and I used to have a Norwegian army jumper, different neck design but I absolutely loved it 😌, this jumper looks very impressive indeed, I currently use ZeroFit under garments in Merino wool 😃👍🏻
I've been loving Merino wool socks, this top is now on my radar.)
Now I know, in the white/cream submariner, you remind me to Sean Connery in the Hunt for Red October!!! I do like the jumper but wonder of the make a “tall” version for those over 6’ 4” tall. Thanks for sharing this video.
I'm 6'9" and wear the Fitted version in a size 46, which fits me. The extended cuffs mean the sleeves look normal on me!
Hi Stu. It‘s essy to turn the translation off. Go to settings - audiotrack , and there you can put it right !
I've got the same white one as you, wouldn't mind a navy one as well. I've got lots of bits from Goldtop including my jacket. All extremely well made stuff. Loved the smouldering look at the camera whilst modelling it!
man, thank you for making this video. I've been on the fence with buying one of these because, as you mention, they are expensive. It would easily be the most expensive sweater I've ever bought by a country mile. I've bought some other GoldTop stuff and they are exceptional quality gear so it does put the mind at ease knowing I'm sure to get something exceptional in the mail...but the cost is not easy for me, I can't deny.
I think I'm going with the slim fit but buying a size larger than needed for a more relaxed fit?
I have had one of these Goldtop jumpers for few years. I love it. But you have to be careful about the jacket or coat you wear with this type of jumper. While buttoned jackets have no effect, jackets that close with a zipper can quickly ruin the front of the jumper. As long as the jacket is closed, and has a wind flap, no problem. But when, for example, you walk with the jacket open, the left side of the zipper acts like a "saw" and destroys the look of the jumper and wears it out prematurely.
Just the thing for trips to Eastern Europe
I'm a 'southerner' from the South of England and I can't understand a bloody word that Stuart's saying.....😆
Just listened to the French version and it seemed OK to me. I mean, still didn’t understand it all but the voice was pleasant enough.
Just keep them out of the way of blasted moths, they play havoc with anything wool! Other than that they are the perfect cold weather under jacket garment. If they keep you warm at sea they’ll keep you warm anywhere.👍
Did you ever try the "Pull marin" from Brittany ? the come with some kind of oily wool and act like fantastic protection. Have a good ride.
Yo que vivo en México estoy feliz con el traductor . Gracias saludos cordiales
At the start , I thought you was going to say the translator was going to be for those in the UK, but outside Yorkshire who don`t understand the language. Just kiddn. Live close to yourself, so in particular over the phone there can be a Darn sarrth / Up Nerth language barrier
Not sure if flashing your Rolex was intentional, but it's a lovely watch 😉
I had one of the surplus jumpers back in he sixties when Army and Navy stores were my personal trailers. :-) It wore out but I've still got my 1952 US Army Korean War Parka. The modern ex navy and army jumbers just have a crew neck which is a pity but they do have wear patches on the shoulders and elbows so swings and roundabouts. Just as long wearing and warm as the old style though, except around the neck..
Shows off your moobs nicely. Merry Christmas!
I got some of the cold air blocking pants/ shirt, axial brand. You won't be warm, but it makes a huge difference without adding much thickness. Well, unless it's warm out, then you get very hot
I was riding in -2°c yesterday here in Lyon. Damart thermals. Ski balaclava. Canadian socks. Heated gloves. Toasty.
I'm french and I understand what you're saying. Even if my english isn't perfect.
Estoy escuchando el audio en español. Me parece excelente. Se puede seleccionar fácilmente la pista de audio.
Hi Stuart, your dress style is nearly perfect....😂. But without joke, the clothings have the good style, I prefer my old Barbour with such a pullover futs perfect, from my point of view better than Goretex. Have all a nice weekend, weather is for Grappa or Whisky in the evening, oh sh.... time to get firewood from the garage.
Very timely Stu, I'm expcting delivery of a Goldtop Submariner today.
The trouble i find with this type of jumper is they are terribly unflattering for my figure! I prefer merino base layer and a down jacket for insulation. Less cool factor, but effective
