Honeycomb cashmere rollneck sweater

I bought this sweater in December of 2020 in cream. Absolutely a dream sweater and fell in love with it. When I saw it in blue and on sale I had to Have it! I originally bought a small because I’m 5’11” 140lbs and like long sleeves but found the small to be a bit large so when I ordered the blue one I got the only size available xs and it fit perfectly!!!

I really wanted to love this sweater, but the shape is boxy and the sizing is way off. I know it says relaxed fit, but I ordered a small and the chest measurement is 20" across. It just looks big and dumpy. It's unfortunate because the cashmere is very high-quality (much better than most of the recent J Crew cashmere sweaters) and the knit is substantial. I'm out of luck because it was a final purchase. Costly mistake on my part.

Purchased both colors. The blue one was excellent. But the white one had hundreds of pilled balls everywhere and a very strong odor of deodorant when arrival. Obviously, this sweater was worn with tag by somebody for some time, then got returned. I had no problem to receive a returned clothing but was disappointed with J.Crew's process. I knew pilling is common for cashmere and couldn't control that one customer returned a used sweater, but J.Crew should check whether the sweater was still in a good condition before re-packing and re-selling it. Fortunately, I was able to remove the pilled balls by spending half an hour with a cashmere comb and remove the strong odor by washing it with baby shampoo. I felt much better after I 'rescued' that sweater successfully. The sweaters are soft and thick. And I like the honeycomb pattern. TTS. If I received both sweaters in a good condition, I should give 5 stars. However, because of the unpleasant experience, I took off two stars.
