The problem is the product (Merryn 1/4 zip). I have a navy one a year old made in China. The forest one by comparison has forearms which are significantly tighter and overall the material feels thinner (= cheap). The new one is made in India. I'm hoping the new Merryn will 'relax' ... but the sense from new is of corners cut fit-wise, and in quality. Overall I'm disappointed as my navy Merryn is a wardrobe staple. Both are washed at 30c on delicate programme, spun but never tumble dried, so it's basically down to cut and material. Happy to compare a replacement if I've got a rogue 'bedding down production' cut.
