I have the LL Bean Commando and it's great. Problem is that by this time of year they're sold out in the most popular sizes and colors. Check the website and se what's available. Acrylic commando sweaters were going for $29 at my local surplus joint (new) and the Beans were like $39 for wool...no contest.

Ah! I very much like Orvis clothing! The mechanic sweaters are not what I have in mind, but by happenstance, I already have the Barbour Heritage Cowen Commando Jacket, which they carry. For daily casual wear with jeans, I wear the Orvis and Ex-Officio tech shirts. They're great. I recommend those.
The sportsmansguide British commando sweater in bluegray is spot on! If only I were that wee. It takes a 2XL to comfortably cover my rippling muscularity...or, fat, depending on your point of view. I'll do another search to see if I can find another vendor that carries sizes for those other than Hobbits and Lilliputians.
Thanks, Riverkilt.
