    I'm in the market for a navy blue sweater.
    Preferably made in USA.

    Give me your best suggestions

    Best sweaters are Icelandic lopapeysa, but I'm highly biases. I'd only trust the ones made in Iceland, not the USA - lots of fakes out there. Some of these come in blue.

    I guess I should have said quality rather than USA made.

    Rotti that sweater might have the Mrs asking questions!

    you can tell if it's real Icelandic wool - they're very lightweight, warm and itch like mad.
    My sister's ex was importing some bypassing import duties for a short while. Not himself, he'd snooker other people into it. Jerk.
