I wear a S in the tneck. There were many comments that the cardigan ran large and to go down a size. I would like to wear it over the tneck; should I order a S or XS?
I have many shades of red clothes. By far, this is the BEST red I own. Thank you.
Dear Andrea, not knowing what you look like it’s difficult to answer your question. If you have narrow shoulders and have a small bust then yes go down to the xs. If you wear an xxs or xs in the TN then get the xs. There are many ladies who post here that own both styles that can guide you better. Also if you have thin arms the xs will be better.
I missed that you were a small in the TN. I would hate to miss lead you, but since you wear the sample production size, our fit model is a sm, then I would say the sm in the cardigan. The cardigan is in the med. weight WK which is a little stretchier then the classic WK. I think that’s why women think it runs a little big, b ut you don’t want the sleeves to be tight with two layers.
Thanks, I do have a chest. I compensate for my narrow shoulders with shoulder pads. Short arms; a little extra weight in upper arms.
I wear a S in all the WK’s. Thought I ordered an 8 in the jacket but I ordered a 6 by mistake. It actually fit but I didn’t even try it over a tneck. This was my error: I shouldn’t order when I’m up at 1a.m.
Again, thank you for the red. It is the best!
I have so much red I do a red wash. The scarlet is perfect. I have the tneck you did a few years ago and the new one. They are a match. I just got the woven tunic:A268129 and the color is a near perfect match. I’ll try them on later to see if I can wear the tunic open over the tneck. Are you going to do a red shell?
Can’t wait for the skirt!
George Simonton did this red. He said it was like a Dior (or maybe Chanel) lipstick. I’ll have to checkout the lipstick counter.
I got the 8 in the tunic. I can easily get the scarlet tunic over it.Since I have very narrow shoulders I will wear some KKirkwood pads under the tunic. I could have gone down a size but the tneck might have been a problem then. Somehow I got it home for $35. I think the Q had a one day sale.
I’m doing a red she’ll for spring…I think Feb., but I’m not sure if it’s the same red…..it’s called Poppy.
If you do a Red Shell—hell, I’m buying a half dozen! What about a tank? Need that too, if you please.

Hi, Louis. Even though I already have the Ruby WK T-neck and the Ruby Sequined Skirt—I put the new Scarlet T-neck up to the Ruby Sequined Skirt and I thought the colors worked together as the Sequined Skirt has the Ruby background, but the raised threads in the skirt seemed to be Scarlet—so the Scarlet T-neck and Swing Cardigan can work with the Ruby Sequined Skirt and the Ruby Sequined Top can work with the Scarlet Wk knit skirt and Swing Cardigan! I love how we can get extra mileage out of our Linea pieces! Please tell me if you agree—or did my eyes deceive me?

I don’t have those sequin pieces anymore but I trust your judgement….remember you probably won’t be wearing them in daylight and night light is very friendly to color, and helps to blend.
Another happy (deliriously so, by the way) endorsement of this red. Frankly, for my money, this is the best red you’ve created since I’ve been buying Linea (from ~2010). I grant that one’s taste in red depends wholly on one’s coloring. I mean, why love a red that you can’t wear well? This one is MY red.
Louis, how long will the scarlet red coat be? Will it be like the topper that coordinated with the jewel-tone collection of several seasons back or will it be longer? I am secretly hoping for a longer style. Cannot wait to see this coat.
It will be longer than the boucle topper.
Yay!
Louis, this is a gorgeous red! I just received the WK turtleneck in scarlet red (plus 3 other colors) and just ordered this cardigan, as well. I have lots of black & white tweed that need a pop of color. This is it!
The houndstooth skirt in black and white that you did several years ago is going to look great with this stunner! Thanks for the gorgeous red color.
