This sweater surprised me in the best way. I expected something lightweight and serviceable, but what I got was a noticeably heavier, thicker knit that actually feels warm when you put it on — not always a given with basics. The color is spot-on and exactly as pictured, which feels like a small modern miracle when ordering clothes online. It looks polished enough to elevate an outfit, but still relaxed and cozy enough for everyday wear. Fit is generally flattering, though I’ll note that the middle can feel a little wide if it rides up. The good news is it pulls right back down and settles nicely, so it’s more of a minor quirk than a dealbreaker. The fabric is softer than I expected and feels comfortable against the skin. I haven’t washed it yet, but I already know this is a “lay flat to dry” situation, which feels reasonable given the weight and structure of the knit. I’m in the process of upgrading my wardrobe, and this is exactly the kind of reliable piece that helps: classic, warm, and easy to style without overthinking it. Overall, a very solid sweater that exceeded my expectations and earned its place in rotation. Read more
I've been wanting a red sweater like this for a long time! I was pleasantly surprised it's 100% cotton. The fit is slim but it's not tight, it has quite a bit of stretch to it. It is mid-weight and it feels breathable which is refreshing for me because I run hot. It will keep you warm but not overly warm. If it's very cold it will probably be great with a long-sleeve layer under it. I'm 5'9", 135lbs. I usually wear a small to medium or 6 to 8 US in tops. This sweater is a Medium and plenty long. The sleeves are just right, I often have trouble with sleeves being too short as a tall girl. The bottom band of the sweater doesn't hug my hips like many tops that sit below the hips do. It also hides my "mommy tummy". FOR PEOPLE WITH SENSORY ISSUES: It's not scratchy but not super soft either. Having sensory issues, I can say that it's pretty comfortable. I only tried it on for a few minutes with a short sleeved tee on under. The texture on my arms bothered me a little but I will probably get used to it after a bit. If not, I can comfortably put a long sleeve layer under it since the sleeves aren't tight (but I do have skinny arms). We'll see how it does with wear and washing but so far I think it's fantastic!

I bought the incorrect sweater, and didn’t realize it until I cut the tag off to try it on. I had multiple tabs open in my iPad, and I had ordered another small cable knit sweater, which is also called Amazon Essentials Cable Knit Sweater. However that one says lightweight in the description and this one says fisherman. I like this, but I don’t love it, I wanted the oversized look, I plan on wearing them over long sleeve tee shirts, or long sleeve bodysuits in the fall winter. Amazon offers the same items with varying prices and I’m creating my fall and winter clothes collection as things go on sale. Fit: A little smaller than the other Amazon Essentials Lightweight Long Sleeve Cable Knit Sweater. Material: Heavier weight than the other sweater, definitely will be nice during winter. Color: Very pretty pale pink. I tried it on with khaki knee length stretchy jeans type of mini skirt, light jeans, dark jeans, and white jeans and it looks cute with everything. Also no evidence was left on my wide leg black dress pants after trying it on with those, so it is a nice quality sweater, that doesn’t appear to shed, especially if you get it on sale. Over all, I am happy, but not as happy as I am with the other sweater. My bad for not paying attention while ordering, but I’m taking off one star, because IMO it doesn’t fit like the other large, even though it’s big on me, it doesn’t give the same look or feel as the other sweater. I need to review that style as well, because I purchased 6 of that style, 3 medium and 3 large size, and I’m keeping all 6. Cute sweater, and if I only bought this one, I probably would love it, however since I already had bought and worn another style so recent, it’s v difficult not to compare them. Read more
Really soft, thick but not bulky, my regular XL fits perfectly!!! I got the camel and it’s a great neutral. Will work over a button down now and by itself when things warm up. Love that it’s all cotton. Enough room in the shoulders, length is great, sleeves are perfect. Can’t beat the price. May have to come back for another color! Read more
Beautiful, well made, and fits well. Surprising quality for the price point. Medium weight, and the cotton is getting softer with each wearing. Read more
I have been looking for this type of sweater for years ... and I mean more than a decade! COTTON (!!), soft, classic, midweight (heavy enough to look great after washing), relaxed fit, warm but NOT bulky. I go with X-Large so I can put a shirt underneath, but they’re NOT sloppy on their own. These sweaters are the quality I used to find at Talbot’s and Coldwater Creek. I finally gave up on wearing my winter sweaters because they were all too warm. I gave them away and replaced them with 'Amazon Essentials' sweaters. These launder well, but treat them with care. I go with a gentle cycle, cold, dried on 'extra low' for ONLY 10 minutes to get them started toward dry. Then dry flat, as recommended. This is quality merch, not something to throw in with jeans and other things with zippers!! I love the fact that I could find jewel tones as well as black. If you like pastels, they are here, too. Thanks for coming to my rescue, Amazon! Read more
I wear Petites. The proportion and sleeve length on this sweater are nice BUT I'm going to hand wash and dry on my sweater flat dryer to keep this one properly sized. I don't like oversized unless I choose that style, and I do like this sweater so I will go to that effort. Otherwise, it's a nice quality, the color looks good, and it will serve me well through spring season. Read more
