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.

I have the off-white sweater. Just received it, so cannot comment on how well it holds. The material is VERY pleasant to touch and the fibers are thick. Also, very convenient neckline to wear by itself or put any type of base layer. I am 5 f 8", 145-150 lb , 32DD, tops size 8 usually. I ordered size Large for the case it shrinks after wash. It is roomy, but not *too* large. I think, have I gone with Medium, it would be too short (the length is already on the edge of being 'too short'). But for this length, the sleeves are waaay too long, I have to roll the cuffs. And I have long arms, my typical problem is sleeves being too short. So now, it is hard for me to imagine someone, who would have such broad shoulders/long arms but still short enough for the length of the sweater. This is not enough to take a star off, but the rolled cuffs make it look less dressy than I would want.

I hesitated but got this on sale and it’s AMAZING! So thick, warm, and crazy soft. Do it. I’m tempted to buy a second one because I love it so much.

I've been eyeing this sweater for over a year, so when it went on sale, I quickly purchased it. The quality of this sweater is like none other that I own. The sweater is thick, soft, and so warm. The cashmere is beautiful, and I imagine this will be a sweater I will keep for a very long time. I highly recommend getting one!
