Customers overwhelmingly praise this cable sweater for its timeless design, exceptional comfort, and high-quality construction. The classic cable pattern and flattering color options like yellow, peach, sage green, and blue are celebrated as versatile year-round staples. Reviewers consistently highlight the soft, buttery cotton texture and ideal weight for layering, noting the fit runs true to size and washes well. Many compare it favorably to pieces owned for years, emphasizing durability and craftsmanship. A few mention the sweater runs large with a boxy silhouette that may not flatter all body types, though most still acknowledge the quality and plan to reorder in smaller sizes. Overall, customers consider it a worthwhile investment.
Being a petite person, 5’1” and 103lbs, I am not happy with how wide this petite xs sweater is at the bottom. The ribbed area is 3 1/2” high and it just stretches out at the bottom

Lovely sweater
The sweater is beautiful...loved the color...Was heavier than I had expected, and I usually wear a medium, but this medium was too large.

I like this raincoat, and the XL size fits me perfectly. But I wish there was a larger choice of colors, especially something bright.

Great sweater
I love this sweater. Looks great on and washes well. I must add that white is a hard color to keep clean. The blue would have worked better....

Comfortable Fit
Used for: Travel, Relaxing, Casual or Every Day
Comfortable fit and look. The petite medium fits well - 5’3” 125#. I do need to fold the ribbed sleeves. Sage green goes easily with dressier black slacks or blue jeans.
