"I absolutely love this sweater! The color is divine! ♥️ The fit is perfect and the quality is impeccable. I plan to purchase it in other colors. It runs slightly large but I like a little room. It’s the perfect weight- not too heavy or too light. The style is classic and versatile."
"Love the color and the weight is good the sleeves are not too short and the yarn makes a quality fabric"
"This is yet another well made and thought out item of clothing from the brand. Love the deep navy color. Material is thick and keeps you warm. I had some issues with the zipper getting stuck or going off track, but once I lubricated it (get your mind out of the gutter lol) with a little hair oil, the zipper was zippering properly. I did feel like the cardigan stretched out a bit (not a lot though) so if you don’t see your usual size or are between sizes, you might be able to fit one size down. I might buy another color."
"First of all, the color! It’s such a nice blue based red. The fit is really nice. The sleeves are a little long on me but can easily be cuffed. The zipper closes nicely and the length is perfect. The knit is soft and feels like it will be durable for a long time. I feel like it will not be subject to pilling."
"Love the Better-than-Wool line, both as wool is an itchy nightmare and the quality of the fabric is genuinely impressive. The sweater is so soft and warm, yet somehow doesn't make me sweaty. The Gamay color is gorgeous and two ladies complimented me on it the first day I wore it. The pockets are small but functional for a keycard or lip balm and the silver zipper looks sharp and seems high quality. I would love more colors next year and hope to pick up another on sale."
"I have another one of these cardigans and I love the color, fit and versatility of it; however, I do not like the material. I have only worn it twice and it already has a bunch of snags showing. There is no excuse for this. I am not hard on my clothes and I don’t mind paying a fairly high price, at least to me, so long as I can wear it for a long time. That isn’t the case with these cardigans. I am very disappointed in the quality of these cardigans. The material is badly made."
"Love this sweater! I am the person that is always cold. This sweater feels like luxury and looks beautiful!"
"This material is the coziest - I’ve bought 6 or maybe 8 better than wool sweaters. I’m almost sad summer is almost here and I won’t be able to wear them until the Fall!"
"I really like the weight of this sweater and it washes very well. It’s also very soft and non-itchy."
"I absolutely love this cardigan. The color is stunning and feels like a little burst of spring in the middle of winter. It has a polished, put-together look while still being incredibly cozy and comfortable. The zipper gives it a slightly different feel from the usual button cardigan, which makes it a fun change and a bit more modern. One note on fit: I would recommend sizing down if you prefer a more tailored look. The sweater has a relaxed feel, which is wonderful for comfort but can run a little roomy depending on how you like your cardigans to fit. The fabric is wonderfully soft and warm without feeling heavy or itchy, which is always my concern with wool sweaters. It’s the kind of piece you can throw on and immediately feel comfortable in, and it holds up well with regular wear and washing. Overall, this sweater is cozy in the best possible way. It’s the kind of cardigan that makes you want to zip it up, put on a pair of Keds, and channel a little Mr. Rogers energy while you read stories to kids. Comfortable, cheerful, and easy to wear, it’s quickly become a favorite."
