How William Lockie's lines hold up
William Lockie sweaters — what owners report
Owners on menswear forums and retailer review pages are largely repeat customers: they describe knits that feel dense and substantial, hold their shape without sagging, and keep their length without riding up. Forum posters note the yarn is not the softest on day one and expect it to soften with wear, reading that density as a durability trade-off rather than a flaw. The main friction point is fit: the chest-measurement sizing runs generous, and at least one owner found a size large shawl collar too baggy, with long arms and a long body.
- Strengths
- Dense, shape-holding knits that don't sag, with strong repeat-purchase loyalty among owners.
- Watch out for
- Hand feels dense rather than soft out of the box; some pieces run roomy with long arms and body.
- Sizing
- Sized by chest measurement — order your actual chest size for a trim fit, one to two sizes up for a looser one; some owners found large sizes baggy.
