This is a very nice warm sweater and looks great. I will have to admit that I am a little disappointed at how quickly it began to pill. I am very careful with my sweaters and feel it should have held up a little better. Overall, a nice sweater though.
I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing this sweater! Its like wearing your coziest blanket. It moves with you, the weight is just the right amount of warmth but with breathability. I have had other sweaters where the buttons slide out of the holes, but this stays fastened nicely. Great for the northern winters!
I could kick myself that I didn't buy every color of these in 2006. I bought 2 more in 2007 to find the sweater to pill easily and it seemed lighter and shorter. Having said that, I still do like the sweater but just not as much as the former version which is heavier and seems to be of better quality.
I wear these cardigans constantly in winter. The collar keeps your neck warm, and they're slightly shaped--you don't resemble a panda if you button it, even with layers underneath. If you're small, though, get the extra small; it will still fit over a layer or two. Also, these come in a longer length too (listed as separate item), which is quite long--good if you're tall.
