I should have let you all know that I was in Miami last week and spent a couple of days at a hotel across a Zara store that had cardigans in L and XL. Unfortunately, I'm back home now.
After taking a look at them, I'll give my take on Zara vs. Topman.
Topman has a higher quality knit and the collar is done better.
Zara doesn't have the pockets.
Both have a trendy cut. Both need the button replacement.
The M&S is a great CR alternative, especially with a navy Sunspel T-shirt, looks spot on. I have tried wearing it with a white shirt like QoS but the collar is too chunky and it does not look right. Do not know if the topman item is like that.
Mine is on the way. This'll make my 2nd Cardigan, opting for the Kohl's one on the first time around. From the photo on the CK site, this appears not as bulky, so we'll see in a few days.
One really shouldn't be wearing the cardigan with the Sunspel polo...
CK website seems to be sold out; anyone else?
Regarding color, I know the Tom Ford is black, but can anyone really justify wearing black with dark brown boots? I just can't do it. Dark blue/navy is better.
I have two from J Crew - the price is right - and really like them although they are a little thicker than the TF. I put the black leather buttons on one, but I'm not sure even that much black is proper (with the brown boots).
Dr. Bond, I thought the same thing about te brown shoes and black top...when I wore this outfit to a friend's party I was actually very self concious. Then I saw a European mag where they were doing this quite a bit...sort of the 'not being a slave to colors and fashion thing'...but still felt similiarly...B-)
Any UK members willing to possibly pick up a Hackettt Cardigan and ship it over to the U.S. I am sure some arrangement could be reached?? please email at ferrissteve@yahoo.com if possible. PayPal no problem. Thank you in advance for any replies.
A week or so ago, a link was posted for the Calin Klein cardigan. Ordered one, got it a few days ago and am wearing today. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Not at all bulkly, very soft fabric and, humbly speaking, looks awesome. Not sure if more are still in stock, but you can't go wrong with that one.
I agree 100%, the calvin klein cardigan is one of the best out there. I recently got mine and it looks great. I also bought the croft and barrow cardigan from kohl's, a little thicker and looks a little different but looks great too. I highly recommend both these cardigans.
I have the Kohl's one, as well. Bought it weeks ago before hearing of the CK. Brand names notwithstanding, the CK one is much nicer, sleeker and more to the spirit of the TF.
I called the Bridgewater and Menlo Park, NJ Zara stores. Apparently the 0842/301/800 number is a sale item at this point (they can't look up stock any further in their system) and apparently something on the order of $25, but neither store thought they had it on any of the sale shelves.
The person I spoke to at Menlo Park did mention that they'd recently sent over 'about 100' presumably excess sweaters to the NYC store, and suggested that other stores in the NYC area were doing the same thing, so that would be the best place to look.
I don't particularly want to trek into the city to check out the stock, but I believe at least one person here mentioned they were in that area. If anyone by any chance does go, I'd be very appreciative of them picking one up for me (please PM me for contact details).
I haven't been able to locate any stills from QoS of DC wearing this cardigan and judging from the posts in this thread this isn’t the one worn in the film. Just wanted to check is that correct.
Don't know if this has been posted before but its also a nice pic of DC's Rolex and strap.

Topman is $60-$70 more than the Zara.

I live in Australia and it's summer here now and I can't find any decent similar cardies!
And Zara here only sells women's clothes!
If someone is able to get one, i'm assuming that i am probably a large (L) size... 6ft, slim-medium build asian.
Otherwise, what other online alternative would people recommend? Topshop seem to have some large in stock (http://www.topman.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=17551&storeId=12555&categoryId=138990&parent_category_rn=40350&productId=972005&langId=-1) but everywhere else either does not ship to Australia or is out of stock...
To me that is way too heavyweight for a QoS alternative. In blue, it may be a good CR cardigan alternative.

I just got a Zara cardigan and I need to replace the bottons, may anyone can tell me the correct size?!
Thanks

I know there's only a couple of weeks until the DVD comes out but can anyone direct me to any pictures of DC in the actual cardigan.
Maybe this will help. {[]
