"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."
"Warm and very pretty. Seems to run a bit large. Haven’t washed it yet"
"This sweater is cozy and classic. I am happy with every element except for a large snag that I didn’t discover until after I cut off the tags. I’m hoping that I can get it mended properly. I had not worn it yet, so I’m sure that it came this way."
"Great color, great material. It's a little sophisticated. Could go business, could go casual."
