That's awesome and if you haven't seen the film it's fantastic.

Made by the same person who did In Bruges which is also great.

I've seen them and yes, they were great! I personally liked In Bruges more.

There's nothing better than 100% wool garment. Personally I find that I can wear them directly against the skin although some people find them too itchy. There's something about the way they hold the heat in that is different than just a thick cloth garment. Probably has something to do with the oils in the wall or something but even a loose knit wool garment will seemingly hold the heat in. And of course if they get wet they still keep you warm unlike almost any other cloth.

Wool rules. Vintage sweaters are scratchier than modern ones because of the difference in processing the wool. It's much better now and scratchiness isn't much of a thing anymore (unless someone has a wool allergy or they bought a lower quality product). Ever try Smartwool long underwear? They're pretty amazing for winter; super thin and light but retain your heat.

Did those stitches hold up? It's not the prettiest job but it's for work pants so aesthetics don't matter.

Not so much. Haha. But I'm like a poet, so we get a pass on certain things
