cashmere jackets, January 29, 2010
By: DeeB

"I purchased one jacket at full price and one in the sale - both jackets have pilled badly and although I did bring this to Orvis notice they have not responded. The jackets now have to be "plucked" before I can wear them and at the price paid I found the product very disappointing."

warm and handsome sweater, December 12, 2009
By: Mergeta

"This was not a gift. I already purchased this same sweater in black last year and love the sweater.

Especially like the fact that it has pockets and its length is very stylish.

My only regret about this version: the red is a duller shade than I expected or usually wear.

Wish it were a brighter red. The cost is higher than the usual price I pay for a cashmere sweater however so I cannot say it is a "best buy".

New Orvis Customer..., December 9, 2009
By: Equalizer

"I had never purchased from Orvis before, but was very attracted to this Cardigan. It was exactly what I was looking for, but we all know what can happen with a mail order transaction. It is almost never what you expect.

Surprise! This exceeded my expectations. It is a great weight, gorgeous color, and perfect style. It looks exactly like the picture, both in style and color. I am so happy with this cardigan, I am looking forward to getting this in Black, when it comes in, and possibly a Brown color, if Orvis introduces it down the road.

Please keep me on your e-mail list!!"

Great look but disappointing, November 28, 2009
By: whateveryousay from Cincinnati, OH

"I bought two last year and am about to buy a replacement. I love the look but think a cashmere sweater ought to last longer than one winter. Both sweaters have pilled, the sleeves are way too long and had to be rolled up from the very beginning. Now, they have stretched so they have to be rolled up two or three times. Drycleaning broke the buttons. Yet, it's still the only sweater that has the look I want so here I am ordering it again. Expensive!"

a good cardigan, November 16, 2009
By: CountryDoctor from small town, BC, Canada

"This is my first purchase from Orvis. I wore it to work today and am still wearing it at home. I bought the Petite Small in Charcoal. I am 5'2" and typically take petite sizing top and bottom. According to the size chart I should have been size Extra Small, but this size appears not to exist for this garment. The sweater is soft and warm and cozy but a tad looser than I would have liked (see above). The cuffs are relaxed and not fitted. In the picture the model is wearing the sweater with the sleeves scrunched up on her arms. This gives the illusion that the cuffs are fitted. The sleeves are ~ 1&1/2 to 2" too long for me so I have to fold up the cuffs for work. This isn't really a problem - just not what I expected in petite sizing at this price. The longer sleeve-length is fine for lounging at home - more cozy having my hands partly covered. The bottom hem falls about low-hip to top of thigh, as it does in the picture. The collar flops over on each side when the sweater is not buttoned all the way up, which doesn't look great, but then it's a casual style of sweater (even though it's made of cashmere). Doubling the thickness of the collar may help keep it standing up better. Another odd thing that I've noticed about the styling is that the vertical ribbing (collar, cuffs, pockets, & bottom hem) are all different heights. I think it would look more balanced if the vertical ribbing were all the same height, even if that means making jersey-knit pockets with ribbed trim. The charcoal color is accurate per the catalog picture (never trust a computer monitor for color choices when shopping on-line for anything!) All in all, it's a good sweater and I expect to get regular use out of it."

Really nice, November 6, 2009
By: Dollie

"This sweater is so soft and easy to wear. The pockets and length are great. as are all the colors it comes in. It has a generous fit which makes it easy to wear over other clothing. The only thing is it pills a lot. It is so nice that to me it is worth keeping the little balls picked off. How well do I like it? well I now have 6 in different colors."

Great sweater, August 13, 2009
By: CindyMom from Northern California

"I just bought this sweater in black and I love it. Great weight, good length (I'm tall) and the necklline is such you can wear it buttoned up for warmth, or open. I will buy another one soon in a different color."
