It's nice but..., November 10, 2009
By: Fairoaks from Fremont, Ca.

"I ordered this for my son. The sweater is nice and we ordered a large size. However, his sleeve length is 34-35 and the length just wasn't long enough. I don't think he liked the heather like coloring. Anyway, it's nice but wasn't for him."

Great Sweater, October 22, 2009
By: SBHD from Aiken SC

"Been looking for a nice casual around the house sweater and find this fits the bill. Like the collar design and the pockets, the leather buttons are a nice touch. It fits well , constructed well and looks like it will last my lifetime. (my wife thinks it looks nice on me so that makes it perfect)"

nice but scratchy, September 16, 2009
By: oldie from a senior citizen from New England, who like style

"The sweater it very nice in appearance, but the texture is extremely scratchy. No doubt it is because of the high wool content. I shall exchange it for a similar style but in a different materal.. I found the XL shoulders much too wide for my size, but that is maybe because of my poor physique"

Good, but with issues, January 18, 2009
By: Bubs

"I bought this sweater since I work in a cold-weather environment and needed something to wear around the apt and in the office when it's cool out. The sweater looks great, is very warm, and very comfortable.

The only negative I have found is that after having worn it for only two months, the buttons have started falling off! I'm not sure if it was inferior thread, or poor craftsmanship, but one button is already off and another is hanging loose.

It's still a great sweater, but a bit disappointing for all of that."

Great sweater, December 9, 2008
By: kkuster

"I always get comments on this sweater when I am writing at a local coffee shop or having a pint at a local pub. It's at home anywhere, and great for the northern Ohio falls and winters."

A worthy investment!, September 13, 2008
By: Gimoy

"I received this wonderful sweater last year as a gift.I wear it constantly from Sept to April. I'm a self employed consultant working from home. It's classy enough to wear to client consultations. I always get compliments when someone sees it for the first time. The most frquent comment is "They don't make sweaters likethat anymore".
You've never failed me Orvis!

Hubby's favorite, November 13, 2007
By: Frantoo

"I bought the Fireside Shawl Cardigan in blue for my husband two years ago and he loves it. He is cold natured and wears the sweater daily. I love it, too, because it is easy to wash and still looks good after numerous washings. This cardigan has become his signature sweater. I'm ordering a green one for this Christmas to give him a little variety."

Just like an old comfortable shoe, October 5, 2007
By: paddy from Santa Fe NM

"I am 76 and this is the most comfortable sweater I have purchased in years. It looks good, and can be worn with confidence on all informal occasions.

"Fireside" is an apt description. In the cold mountains of New Mexico, I have fallen asleep many times in front of the Kiva fireplace wearing this sweater."
