A wonderful Merino sweater
This sweater is so nice. It's exactly as pictured in every way and fits true to size. I usually wear L/XL, depending on the oversized or slimmer fit and I went with an XL for this more fitted type of sweater and it fits wonderfully. I'm 195 lbs, and 5'5", 38D and it's very flattering in all the right places. If you have a bit of a belly like I do, it hides it. It doesn't fit like second skin but rather a normal good fit. Not loose or tight. I wore it over a merino tank top and you could not see the lines of the tank top underneath so it's definitely good for layering. The sleeves are long (if you pay attention to the photo, you will notice how they are bunched up at the wrists on the model). On me, fully extended they only leave fingertips exposed but I prefer this to the sleeves which are too short. You can wear them long or bunched up as pictured or fold them under for your perfect custom length. This sweater is not a type of garment where too long sleeves are an issue like it would be on a blouse, for example. I think the sweater is reasonably priced for the quality and compared to all other 100% Merino wool garments I've seen so far on all other independent Merino clothing sites where sweaters are way more expensive. This fabric is not plush like fleece would be but also not itchy as your old school wool used to be back in the day. It feels comfortable and I'm very sensitive to the feeling of wool itchiness. I think it looks pretty athletic but not to the point where you can't wear it casually when not playing sports or being active. Highly recommend this sweater.
