Buy it!!! Do not skip on this sweater
Color: Dark Grey, Size: XX-Large
I bought this for my husband to wear if he needed something nicer in the cold weather . But i have wore it more than him because how amazing it is. First off the material is such great quality, it is hard to explain that its thick/ dense but not thick.. the sweater is thin, light and wonderful yet feels thick good quality. It did not shrink when washed, fits wonderfully and color has stayed strong as well. It looks high quality and is an amazing value for the price. No one would know it was not name brand. Do not skip on this sweater.

Great find for less
Color: Wine Red, Size: X-Large
I purchased two of these in different colors for my husband. They were way cheaper than other options available. I was nervous about the quality with how much cheaper, but he loves them. And I must say they look very good on him. Happy with purchase, true to size. My husband is 6'2' and no complaints about the length.
