Personally, I think you need both. Chunky roll necks are great but they're jacket substitutes, not to wear under a jacket. I'd get the chunky first, like Rubato or Brycelands, as the thinner style under a jacket is a lit...
How to look after your shoes
This is the first in a series of videos that we will be doing over the coming months, looking at caring for good clothes. They will be instructional, but not too technical, and we plan to build them up slowly over the year - so for example, not try...
