I ordered this in the green with dots. The buttons are stiff at first, I believe due to the grosgrain ribbon trim which is not as flexible as the knit, but get easier with wear. This sweater is well tailored and well made. Compliments from family and strangers on the first wearing. The perfect sweater for Spring!
I have mixed thoughts on this sweater, and ultimately decided against it. The material is very soft, so it feels nice against the skin and it seems to run true to size. But...the buttons pull and make the sweater gap open even though it's not tight overall, and the buttons themselves seem cheaply made. Not really worth the price, in my opinion.
