HERE IS A SHORT NOTE FROM NICK A., FROM THE U.K UPON RECEIVING HIS SWEATER:

"Hi there Ian,
 
The sweater arrived and....... I AM OVER THE MOON WITH IT!!!
 
It fits perfectly, it is of the highest quality material and also the highest quality workmanship.
 
I have wanted this sweater for YEARS but ONLY if i could have the EXACT one as in the series. Well... it took decades but OH was it worth the wait!!! I really can not speak highly enough of the service you provide, friendly and fast and a pleasure to buy from.
 
Thank you so so SO much Ian, outstanding job in sourcing these sweaters, i will be back for another as presents for friends.
 
I attached a photo of me in the sweater.... perfect fit my friend.
 
All the best
 
Nick"

I've asked purchasers of the sweaters to submit a photo or 2 of them.  So here are some pictures, and comments:

 

Hello Ian, I purchased this sweater from you back in Sept of 04. you had requested that I send you some photos of it for your records. As you can see I have not forgot. I wanted to pass on this to anyone who is interested in purchasing this sweater and is on the fence. I live in the Chicagoland area and winters here get brutal, this sweater is AWESOME, it is so warm that no matter how cold, no matter how hard the wind blows, I don't feel the least bit cold, it is so warm that if I am in a store I usually have to take it off because inside it is very warm. I am not one of those persons who tolerates cold very well and I have not one time ever felt chilled in it, not at all and this sweater is by far the best money I ever spent.
I can't tell you enough how much I love this sweater and I get compliments every where I go, people asking where I got it from, so I pass on your info on to them without hesitation.
I am wearing a large that fits me perfect, I am 5-7" 195lbs, my only wish was that there were belt loops to secure the belt that comes with it (not in the picture), don't know if that is possible or not.
I have owned this sweater for 2 winters now and it looks as good as it did the day I received it. It has held up better then anything I wear, nothing has come unraveled, nothing has faded, nor lost any of its firmness that makes it such a warm and comfortable sweater.
I can only say again anyone wondering should I buy this there is no doubt yes, this is not a thin flimsy sweater, and I guarantee you will never ever find one custom made for anywhere near the price he is asking. Should I ever need another one I wont hesitate to purchase it again.
Feel free to repeat any of me email, or even pass on my email should anyone want to ask me personally. I can't thank you enough for this sweater, sorry it took me so long to get back to your request. I have sent these pics from my mac computer, they are in jpeg form and if for some reason you can't pull them up I can resend them in a different format..
Thanks again Bill Rycraft

     Thanks for the kind words Bill.
