I love this sweater.,
March 1, 2012
By: Nedra
from Cleveland Ohio
"This sweater is so comfortable. It is loose fitting but not at all sloppy. You can wear it with jeans or dress it up with a pretty tank or blouse underneath. The sweater feels so soft. The first time I wore it, I got complements from several of my friends. I bought the cornflower blue color. The color is lively without being loud and will even be appropriate to wear this spring or on cooler summer days."

Abysmal Quality,
March 29, 2013
By: JohnJJ
from Atlanta, GA
"These sweaters are an exceptionally poor value for the price. I bought two of these sweaters for my wife in September 2012 and they are not wearing well at all. After the first time to the dry cleaner, the buttons on the first sweater de-laminated and fell apart. After telling our dry cleaner (for over 20 years) about the problem, she confirmed that she uses a special bag for sweaters and took extra care when she cleaned the second one. We had the same problem with the buttons on the second sweater, too. The only thing Orvis did was to send new buttons, and it took to calls to get the correct colors sent. After replacing all of the buttons on both sweaters we had the same problem all over again. To make matters worse, we are starting to notice pilling - even with only light wear. Save your money, do not buy these sweaters. The quality is poor and I'm not at all satisfied with the response from Orvis when I first told them of the problem."

Great style and fit,
March 28, 2013
By: cashmerequeen
from London UK
"After much mulling I bought the petite charcoal, which was perfect for me (5' 3"). The style and fit of this cardigan is really excellent - hits just below the hip and the sleeve length is perfect. My only niggle is the quality of the cashmere itself. It is very short fibre - and pills a lot, which means it isn't very high quality yarn. However, it is thick and warm and well designed."

"I wish your tops would be more adjusted and that you would you offer smaller sizes.
The design also is lacking finesse.

Color is a burst of sunshine,
March 6, 2013
By: Nessie2
from Arlington, TX
"I love these sweaters--I now own five in different colors and this soft yellow may be the best one yet. They are my go to winter clothes as here in TX I hardly ever wear a coat. Soft, warm, nice casual wear but dressy enough for most of my needs."

Overpriced,

By: Sudd

"Beautiful sweater, but for the price I was expecting something more like a light-weight jacket. The knit is the same as my cashmere sweaters."

Quality has changed,
January 31, 2013
By: kbhslc
from Utah
"I purchased two of these sweaters. The first one, purchased 11/29/2010, in charcoal grey still looks terrific after more than two years and lots of wear. The second one, in red, was purchased in October of 2011. After little more than a year, the fabric is badly pilled. What is worse, all of the buttons broke when I had it cleaned last week."

Gorgeous sweater,
January 25, 2013
By: Georgie66
from midwest
"I had admired this sweater in the catalog for some time but hesitated because of the price. I finally ordered it and now wish I had not waited so long. It is just gorgeous; the fabric is outstanding, plush and soft, not thin like some cashmere. It's true to size and long enough, unlike some of the current shorter styles which I find unflattering. Now I'm looking for an excuse to get another color!"

"This review is really about the sweater style - I traded the yellow for the cardinal red. Nice fit, love having pockets. Would really have liked to have the yellow be a warm buttery sunshiney yellow - this one is a bit sickly."

"If I didn't think that my wrinkles and grey hair were aging-(and they aren't, I rock them) this sweater definitely is. And the knit is thin for the price. Just saying."

Great Sweater!,
December 29, 2012
By: Maweeeeee
"This sweater is pricey but worth it. I received it as a gift from my husband and saw the price in the Orvis catalogue. It is really soft and the fit and style are excellent. I like the slightly higher neck. It keeps my neck warm. A good value."

My Red Sweater,
December 28, 2012
By: Babo
from Birmingham, Alabama
"I have looked at this item for a number of years since it is a classic in your catalog. Because it is one of your more expensive items I always passed it up but this year when my daughter asked me what I wanted, I told her that I wanted the red cashmere sweater. I was thrilled when she sent it and remain thrilled.It fits perfectly, looks beautiful and will go with so many things that I wear. You can see that it is a quality product in every respect."

Great Simple Cardigan,
December 27, 2012
By: StylishMom
from FOrt Washington, PA
"Love the cardigan, it is warm, lightweight, adn comfortable. Dressy enough for work or dinner out, can be dressed up or down. Fit is generous, I would normaly order a medium, but the small fits well.
My only complaint is that the white thread on theh top buttons shows when the collar flips open - I plan to remove those buttons, since they don't show anyway, and the white thread bothers me."

fine quality cashmere,
December 17, 2012
By: ArtLover
"This is one of the finest quality cashmere sweaters I have ever purchased. It's soft and warm, not at all scratchy, and the perfect weave for a cardigan. Most cashmere cardigans I find in stores are of thinner material and the sleeves wind up being too tight over a shirt. This one is perfect.
I wish I could afford one in every color!
