Alright, to get down to it, ever since I got into caring about how I looked, I've been obsessed with shawl collar cardigans. I think they are the perfect unbuttoned-lazy-over a plain tee item yet can still be dressed up with a dress shirt under.

In my first year of college, I got one from Lands End, poor quality, doesn't fit properly, but its so damn comfy, I wear it when I say eff it.

I finally decided to spend $100 or more, and got this.

from Jcrew. I was pretty stoked, but that stokage ended very quickly. The thing is so short you can see my belt if I barely raise my hand.

I like things to be a bit longer fitting, so this was a no-go for me and I quickly returned it.

SO, do you guys know of any shawl collar cardigans, preferably marled and not too thick, that have a longer fit? At this point, I'm honestly willing to pay up to $200, as I plan to wear it very often.

Something like this, without the pattern

better yet, if you can find me one that has that "robe" style without the buttons, I'll pay you $5 :slayer:

Which LE one did you get? I have several from them and they are all very good.

I find that cotton or blends just look cheap as cardigans and they get heavy and saggy. Go for wool.
