This is my favorite sweater ever. My daughter gave me the dark green one a year ago for Christmas, and I love it so much I wanted more colors, so I asked for, and got, the red this Christmas. I expect to purchase the grey when it becomes available. This sweater is soft and comfy, and is very warm. The important thing to me is that it’s versatile. The sweater looks good with jeans, or slacks, or skirts and is thick enough to wear by itself without a shirt under it on not so cold days, but not so thick that it’s bulky with a fairly heavy shirt under it, so you can wear it fall through spring. The turtleneck is quite tall and can be pulled up over your chin and mouth in very chilly conditions, but can also be double rolled to a regular turtleneck and will stay in place. It washes well, and can be machine washed and dried without shrinking or losing its shape, which to me is a huge bonus. After almost a year of machine washing, the green one did start to pill a bit, but not to any great extent. I highly recommend this sweater. You can trust the sizing chart on this item. I’m 5’4” and weigh 160, with a 38D bust. I wear a size 16-20 (XL) in this sweater. It fits well, neither tight nor baggy. Read more

Dislike: no tags to suggest cleaning, type of fabric, in my opinion, is not wool, or not all wool, feels like acrylic. The weave is well done and presents itself well. Fits well, soft. Read more

Wonderful sweater. It is very soft, warm, and very much genuine wool. Thick but not too heavy. I am 5'7'', 120 pounds, and bought the medium(the smallest size available). It fits just like the photo. I think I'd still stay with the medium even if I weighed ten pound or so more, and might have gone with a small if available. There's plenty of room--I'll wear another sweater under it on frigid days. I haven't washed it yet, and will report back when I do. I'd soak it in the sink with tepid water and minimal detergent, and roll it up into a towel to wring out the water. Edit: This sweater stayed soft and cozy, but it does pill terribly. I have an electric razor to zip away pills, but it's a lot more work than my other wool sweaters. It got a little frumpy looking. Read more

I like the color of this sweater and I like the fit; however, I did not thoroughly look through the reviews before buying and the questions raised regarding yarn material. I do not know if it is in fact a cashmere and wool blend because it does not come with a fabric tag. If I had to guess-- I'd say it is acrylic but could not swear to it. It has begun to pill after only a few wearings. If you don't care about the yarn it is made with then I would say this is a nice sweater, but if you do-- like I do-- I would say buyer beware. I also didn't realize it was coming from so far away when I placed the order or I would have returned it. Read more

What else can I say? I loved this sweater so much that Bought two other colors from this same brand! They're soft, comfortable, and warm. The colors are pretty and vibrant. I first bought the white, then orange, and now I've got the green! It is pretty standard sizing, at 5'2 and 120 lbs, I'm normally a small but with my first order I did medium and it was loose and cute on me; perfect with leggings. The next one I went a size up again and it was even better! One thing to be aware of is that they've all washed fine in warm water with other clothes, but if you put it in the dryer then they will shrink and get a little rougher. A few washes and then air drying is so far fixing that problem. I love these sweaters so much! Read more

As a US designer in the apparel industry for over 20 years, i am shocked that this has made it into the country. It is with out a doubt, an illegal import. The hoop jumping steps-protocol-fabric testing-import duties that American designers have to go thru to import locally designed/oversea manufactured goods into the USA is beyond costly and time consuming- (god forbid you get a typo on a label)- yet THIS THING with zero content label, zero country of manufacture label, zero fiber testing, zero size label being actively sold thru Amazon blows my mind! FIBER CONTENT: I could not be bothered to do a burn test but at $35 there is no way this thing is cashmere or merino wool as they advertise- and if it is, then you are talking about illegal labor practices. Somebody is not getting paid! SIZING: I am 5.5" 120lbs purchasing size XL for that oversize fit. The fit is tiny, the size XL fit like a standard M, the specs are VERY frumpy..like something you pick up on the discount rack of Ross. The product is not the same product as the listing photography COLOR: 'Navy' is NOT navy- more of an azure blue. NOT the navy color as the listing photo FDA LABELING LAW: It arrived with ZERO labeling on the product itself, the hangtag and the packaging. This is an illegal practice. By USA Federal trade commission law there has to be a care and content label. There has to be a code to identify the manufacturer, country of origin, size How much formaldehyde is on this fibre? How do you know this fibre isn't carcinogenic? Where is it made & by whom- prison labor? Labels are required by the FDA for a purpose not just customer info Be it at your own risk and conscience if you purchase this thing Read more
