Purchased one recently. It's itchy as fuck m9

I dont have a J Press, but Ive got some other shaggy dog sweaters and they're great. The texture makes it versatile for a lot of interesting outfits and aesthetics that a normal sweater wouldn't be able to pull.
I would say try it on before you buy because it may be too itchy
Overpriced. Buy on sale.
Way overpriced.
Look for cheaper options from smaller scottish brands.

it's brushed shetland wool, of course it's itchy, you're supposed to wear a shirt underneath

The brushed nature may make it itchy, but I own some nicer Shetland sweaters and they're not itchy at all. My guess is that anon is a fucking pussy.

>it's brushed shetland wool, of course it's itchy
good wool should not be itchy

brushing should make fabric softer

Good grief, it looks like an old lambswool sweater.

arent you supposed to wear an oxford under a sweater like that?
>>10903550
you can have on like four layers; makes no difference if the sweater is scratchy; that shit permeates, man

Just get a Rick Owens mohair and silk sweater if you don't want it to be itchy and you're not a poorfag.
