a good cardigan,

"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,

"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."

"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."
