Rugged cotton sweater in block stripe

I should have realized it was going to shrink and sized up. I'm disappointed it won't fit now and I can't wear it, but it's a very nice sweater besides.

This sweater looks great on me! I'm not sure if it fits small or if it's just true to size. Some of the other sweaters I purchased from J. Crew ran big. Or perhaps we're just accustomed to vanity sizing? Either way, the colors compliment my skin tone and you can dress it up or down. It'll keep you warm on a nice autumn day.

I usually have trouble with sweaters from JCrew as I am slim but on the slightly tall side at 6'0". The problem is usually in the sleeves length in a small or XS but the body is too big in a medium but finally a sweater that I can have in small and sleeves length is appropriate for my body. If you have the same trouble I have this one works well.

A few weeks ago I bought a lovely J Crew jumper in large and it was the perfect fit. This one is too small. I like the style, but I need to return it, which is disappointing.
