ThIs cardigan filled the bill for an elderly gentleman who needed an "easy on, easy off" sweater and has trouble with buttons. He really wished for the shawl collar version shown in the 2013 holiday catalog; any chance of bringing it back? Meanwhile, this does the job.
The length of this sweater is a bit more than I expected; however, it is my size otherwise. I wear Large but in this case Medium may have fit well enough, but maybe would not be wise especially if washing or cleaning were to be needed in the future. I'm keeping the Large size I ordered, even if the length may be a little more than desired. For the price, I believe it is a very good sweater.
It keeps me warm, but never hot. It breathes. The wool this year seems a little thicker than the one I bought a few years ago. This could be a good thing.
