“I am pleased with the style of this sweater, as I don't care for ones that have even a single button. I was wary about the sleeve length (I have very long arms) and ordered an XXL (in lieu of my normal size XL) just hoping for extra sleeve length. The sleeves on this sweater come to my wrists with my arms at rest, but do ride up short when I bend my arms. I guess I'll have to find a way to stretch the sleeves, especially after washing the garment. Two other surprises that I wasn't expecting. First, there are small colored specs in the wool that are not visible in the sales photo. Second, even with a t-shirt worn underneath, the sweater is very scratchy against bare skin. Perhaps that will lessen after several washings. But overall, I love the look of this sweater.”

Thank you so much for your 4 star rating Robert! I am glad that you like the style of the sweater, and I understand that the sleeve length can be a concern. It is surprising to hear about the specs in the wool and the scratchiness of the garment - I'm sorry if that has been a nuisance. We really appreciate your honest feedback and I hope that with several washings the scratchiness of the material will lessen. Thank you for choosing Herringbone Shawl Hooded Merino Wool Cardigan in Oatmeal Colour.
