What customers say:

Customers overwhelmingly praise this sweater for its delightful lobster design, exceptional quality, and comfortable fit. The vibrant colors, playful graphic, and soft cotton material earn consistent admiration, with many noting it has become a favorite they wear frequently and receive compliments on. Reviewers commend the durable knitting and well-finished details, describing it as substantial yet lightweight. Most note the sweater runs large, and those who sized down report perfect comfort. A few mention minor issues like thread concerns or length, but these rarely detract from the overwhelmingly positive sentiment.

Novelty crew sweater.
The seaters were nearly made of cotton which I enjoy. I’m looking forward to more upscale clothing for women.

I purchased the Deep Lake Lobster sweater. It's a perfect weight - not thin and not too heavy. The color is a dusty blue that works with everything and the lobster design screams

Versatile sweater
Really like this sweater. Mid weight cotton in pretty wide stripes. Versatile. Can be dressed up or wear classic casual. Runs a bit large, but I don’t mind.
