Gentlemen;

My wife researched and bought for me a copy of the fair isle sweater sported by Edward Windsor. It's a bit big. Does anyone have a photo of him wearing the sweater? I'd like to check on the fit before I have the good ladies of Shetland knit another.

Thank you for your help.

If I recall correctly, there is a photo of Windsor wearing the sweater in Flusser's last book.

Cheers, thanks. I've ordered it a little smaller than they suggested. I'd like to wear it under a sportcoat. The kind ladies are making a new one for me. On the whole, I've been most pleased with the service.

Does anyone know who painted this portrait of the Duke of Windsor, or this other famous one?

The portrait was painted by John St Helier Lander in 1925.
