What customers say:

Customers overwhelmingly praise the sweater for its exceptional softness, warmth, and charming retro design featuring animal prints and fair isle patterns. The wool blend fabric feels luxurious and cozy, with many describing it as a warm hug. Reviewers consistently note the sweater runs significantly large—typically two sizes bigger than expected—though most keep it because the quality and adorable aesthetic outweigh fit concerns. The rich color options and playful motifs make it a beloved conversation starter and timeless winter staple.

Definitely runs BIG! But it's cute.

I am usually an XL/XXL/1X, especially in something like a sweater that you don't want to be too clingy. I read the reviews, held my breath, and ordered a L, and it fits perfectly.

Nice but runs big
Fit: Too large
Nice! Definitely order 2 sizes down, makes it shorter, but I tugged it gently when wet and better length. Seems like it will be soft and warm.

It's a really nice quality, heavy sweater but it runs really big (and the style doesn't lend itself to wearing it oversized, in my opinion).

Super cute and soft polar bear pullover
Fit: A little large
This baby blue super soft and super warm polar bear pullover is a keeper. I’m 5’6”, 140 pounds with chest size 36D. The small size fits with plenty of room to layer underneath.

I bought this sweater in a medium when I read the reviews for how loose fitting it was- such a cute pattern (got the blue pine trees) and is was way too big. Almost became a circle
