This sweater is simply gorgeous! I love how it looks old school but the fit is current. I agree that the fit is true to size. I wanted it to fit a little looser so I looked at the measurements and ordered 1 size up. The merino wool is soft and not scratchy. I tailgated in this sweater for a few hours before a game. The temps were in the low 30's and it kept me toasty warm. I received a lot of compliments on this sweater and people were asking me where I purchased it. It is truly one of a kind! I think I need to order the crew neck as well.
