Grace.....that is the shirt I was interested in ....however that collar looks huge to me...I have a very thick neck and a short neck....if the collar isn't petite....I am overwhelmed ...I use to be able to find nice dress shirts....now not so much....I would like about a two inch collar where it peaks in front....this one looks like its three to four inches...

Ah, I see. I thought maybe you had the two confused. My mistake! I checked the "click here" measurements and one isn't given for the collar length. You could ask Louis on his blog. He answers every question.

I agree it's hard to find nice dress shirts, especially in high quality cotton, like the Lines ones.

Belle, I had previously ordered, and have received, the cardigan in charcoal grey. Included with that order was the charcoal grey T-neck.

Must relate that I love them! Will enjoy their warmth when I wear them as a set. A great grey; I don't wear all greys well, but this shade works for me.

[I, too, managed to get an A-line ENR skirt -- in black.]

Hi, Goldie. Were the Charcoal Grey T-Neck and Cardigan a perfect match? I always worry when they are not offered at the same time whether or not the dye lots will match. I've got the T-neck and I may go for the Cardigan, depending on what you tell me. Thanks.

Louis said on his blog that the charcoal WK cardigan and charcoal WK t-neck match exactly.

Sheesh, when I received them during the daylight hours last week, they appeared to be a true match. Just now placed them side by side and focused a flashlight on them, and they look the same.

Goldie, you made me laugh with your flashlight; you sound like Inspector Clueso...funny!!

By the way, I know I wasn't asked, but my charcoal cardigan and t-neck match even though I bought at different times.

Re: Did you order any Linea tonight?

HAPPY, can't you just see me with my spectacles on, peering intently at the two pieces? The two WKs are sharp and conservative. I like the look as a change of pace for me.

To be clear, I am, for the most part, a traditional dresser, but I never give off a Town & Country vibe. Just not my style (but a style I admire on others). These sweaters -- in this color --will take me to the brink of that look. What's not to love?

Goldie, throw on some extra chains and pearls which will take you out of the Town & Country ho-hums straight into Chic-ville! Thanks for breaking out the flashlight!

circles maybe you would like the wing collar blouse A259103. The collar is pretty small--I have the pink & it's gorgeous! It has be been reordered in white, pale blue & light tan.

Re: Did you order any Linea tonight?

I'm smiling at our own Inspector Goldie Clueso Smiley Happy Very cute and thoughtful of you Goldie breaking out the flashlight. I agree with Goldie. I think these new cardigans - both the PP and the Charcoal are perfect matches to other whisper knit pieces in this color. I love that. But I also like the PP not as a set. It's dynamite as an "accent" color to a stone column of color, a charcoal grey column of color, a white column of color or a black column of color. I had to spring for the butter yellow - another color I find as delicious as the perfectly pink - both in the shirt and in the open front cardigan. I pretty much passed on the open front cardi - preferring the later longer cardi with the signature gold or gunmetal or silver buttons which I got in every color ultimately. But that butter shirt and butter cardi looked fantastic on Jackie. I thought she looked "radiant"! Already have and love the charcoal turtle and the charcoal cardigan.
