.. so time to get a nice warm jumper.
At least I would if you could get one without a sodding zip on it somewhere.

Someone care to explain why all the zipness this Christmas? Are jumpers something only chavs buy these days?

might not be your style but they don't have zips at least ! and are very warm might i add

edit: go to 'shop' --> 'tops' --> 'knitwear'

p.s yes, i realise a few of them still have zips

I have to say they are some of the most horrible jumpers i have ever seen. The pink tank top is particulalrly orrible. These are real early 80's throwbacks.

Still thanks for the link and all that - its interesting to see whats on offer these days.

Ive just had a quick scan round the web sites of some of the high street retailers (debenhams and the like) and they are all only selling horrible jumpers! Bad taste must be back in fashion this winter :(

I got one jumper with a zip in...

...but (a) I'm noted for my lack of taste in jumpers

(b) it was from the Gant secwet [1] invite-only end-of-range sale last year, so it must be deeply unfashionable by now :lol:

(c) its plain blue. No naff pink bits. Or stuff that looks like its straight off the golf course.


The rest of my jumpers are just conventionally tasteless :lol:

[1] so secret it takes over the Horticultural Halls in Victoria for 3 days twice a year...however, it does have hwaugeeeee discounts...

You could always go to a charity shop like me and look through what they've got. Surprisingly good stuff, my mate found a couple of pringle jumpers that were 100% wool too;)
