Cotton sweater in combination guernsey stitch

I wish this was oversized. The quality is good. The fit is hideous.

Good-looking sweater and the stitching, construction, and fabric really speak to its quality. However, definitely size up. I purchased this sweater in my typical size Small, but it was comically tight. Will exchange for a Medium.

* Size: even 1 size up, it is snug. Not constricting movement but there is a compressed feel even with a thin shirt underneath. Especially the arms, so hard to wear long sleeve under this. * Warmth: not as warm as the typical wool sweater Not much warmer than regular weight cotton sweater. * Weight: heavy but in a good way, making you feel rugged * Fabric: stiff, 100% cotton with a little give from the guernsey stitching * COO: MiChina * Style: nice look for winter holidays, but will not work with a shirt for the office

This a brilliant sweater, the patterned stitching is amazing and the colour looks great. The size is a bit iffy to work with, cannot say it is bad but it is super fitted due to it's heavy construction. For a comfier feel a size up was good for me, my usual size (X-Small) was fitted but due to it's heavy construction I went for a Small

Excellent quality and very thick and warm. It does run a bit small it’s almost a slim fit, so for me that buys everything in slim fit i like it

The sweater itself is very good. The pattern looks great, especially in the navy blue. It runs extremely fitted, though. If that's what you're going for you'll be happy with it, but otherwise you should definitely go up a size. If you have an athletic build with thick arms, do yourself a favor and skip this one entirely. I ordered in my usual J Crew size, and it is so slim and fitted that all I can wear under it is a short-sleeve undershirt. The arms are so tight that there's no way you could layer long sleeves under it. It's snug through the torso as well. The armholes are high and it hits my shoulders in an extremely flattering way, so it has that going for it though. It basically fits like Archer's "tactical turtleneck". I like it and my wife thinks I can pull it off, but you're definitely rolling the dice by ordering this piece sight unseen.
