Better than a shrug,
May 16, 2013
By: mekme
from Texas
"Everything about this sweater was what I was looking for to wear with sleeveless dresses. Unfortunately, the sleeves are a bit to form fitting. I don't have long thin arms like the model, mine are shorter and more muscular. Other than the sleeves, I would have chosen to keep this sweater and order it in a three more colors. I wish it would be offered in the stores...at least a sampling of sizes. I might try ordering a size large to see if it makes a difference,but the medium fit perfectly otherwise."

Just what I was looking for,

"This is sweater is exactly what I was looking for to wear with sleeveless tops in the summer, and it was very hard to find a lightweight sweater with short sleeves. I really like the fabric and the fit. I got it in white, so it will go with everything."

Elegant understated comfortable summer sweater,

"Soft, good weight. Other people have commented about the buttons. I agree: they aren't for opening and closing. I wear it with the top two open and just pull it over my head. The knot buttons are very pretty."

"Nice weight and very good quality. A bit heavier than expected but better than I thought it would be. Perfect for spring and cooler summer nights. I ordered 2 and glad I did."

Love this sweater!,

By: AliseG
from Mattoon Il
"Love the daffodil color--so cheery!! I wear a size large in a T-shirt so I ordered a large in this sweater. Fits Great!!! Knot buttons are very hard to button but they dress up the sweater. Looks great completely buttoned or worn open."

"I love the elbow length sleeves for summer and the lovely knotted buttons. It is quite different from any other cardigans I've seen and feel it will be great for summer wear.
I recommend this product.

So disappointing!,
April 1, 2013
By: silverbells
from Lake Oswego, Oregon
"I received this cardigan in Navy and I would hardly call it "Deep Navy". It looked as if it had been machine washed many times and was faded, not to mention very wrinkled. So disappointing Orvis!"

"Very nice, but the button holes are a bit too small making it difficult to open and close these cute buttons."

nice choice,
March 25, 2013
By: Marn
from Boca Raton, Florida
"This cardigan is a little bit dressy and has short sleeves-hard to find for summer. Comfortable-might have shrunk just a bit when washed. Ivory color looks nice with jeans or pants. Will be extra nice in the summer when it's so hot."

Perfection,
March 19, 2013
By: TahoeWaterGirl
"I love this simple , lightweight sweater. I live in the Central Valley of California with typically a warm climate. This sweater provides coverage and style without the bulk of a heavier sweater. The buttons are not very easy to use but I rarely button sweaters so I do not find this to be an annoyance. Actually the knot buttons add flare. I would definitely recommend this sweater to others."

The preferred option,

"I ordered this to serve as a 'shrug' and am glad I did - it's more substantial and even more elegant than many of the alternatives I've seen. The fit in my usual size is perfect. I've just ordered another color."

Nice fit, nice fabric,
January 13, 2013
By: Souri
from Wilmington DE
"I like this because it is not too long..in fact, it only falls at the hip or a little above. The blue is very dark, would have been nicer to have just a few shades lighter. Attractive style. I agree that the buttons are difficult to get through the buttonholes, but I usually don't button this type of sweater. Like it a lot for summer evenings. Have been looking for this style in a blue color fof a long time. Have a number of similar style in white."

Smart and good for mid season,

By: dmbca

"This cardigan is very well designed and looks smart. It is good for work and looks relatively formal. I like the elbow length sleeves. The buttons look attractive, although they are rather hard to fasten, but that doesn't matter too much as I like to leave it open."

"I purchased and liked product. However because it is a combination of 14/16 size I had to send back but can not order the XL because 18/20 way too big. Would like if the generous sizing was one size like 14, 16, etc"

Looked for this sweater forever,
August 6, 2012
By: noshopper
from Easley SC
"I've looked for a short-sleeved sweater forever and this is the one--expect that I don't especially like the covered buttons. They're extremely hard to manage, don't think they add to the sweater but am sure they add to the price. Next time, just ordinary buttons, please."

Great Sweater,

By: AKPICKY
"I ordered this sweater in navy blue, and was very pleased with the quality and fit. It is now my favorite summer sweater! I loved it so much, I decided to order it in white. Unforturnately, it was not available in my size. I highly recommend this sweater, you will not be disappointed."

"Orvis, you have done it again! This cardigan is perfect in shape, silky feel and color. I got the navy with hesitation because some "navy" is not true to the color. The knotted buttonsare a delicate addition and make this cardi one that can be worn for evening as well as day."
