i love that cardigan. re: love handles, whatevs man, literally nobody would think you have love handles :D it's a little bit trickier for those of us who got wide-ass hips, but i just roll w/ it

a few weeks ago i wore it w/ a tee under my charcoal merino w/ a dries scarf and felt pretty damn toasty, but it's 67 in atl now sooooo


with a tee? my arms wrists would be crazy itchy. another nice touch is the side pockets. was pleasantly surprised by those

unfortunately sold that piece as well. for whatever reason, that lattice weave on a cardigan almost always results in restrictive shoulder movement and super tight arms/biceps. jet can probably relate with his mastadonic lats

Got a lam cardigan in 7 from Forward, but planning on sending back since they offer free returns. I'll pass it along for what I paid to my door ($208) + shipping & pp fees if anyone is interested.

Damn. I remember I was about to buy that from you, but you took it off the market. Figured you sold it. I'm glad you fell in love with it again. I think I bought an alpaca from you so it's all good.

Pine crewneck in Dove : As mentioned, neck opening is small. Returned since I'm worried about the neck stains (similar to white shirts) the small neck opening invites, and the fabric will be especially painful to keep clean since it's essentially a white duster.

I don't know why the **** brands make small necks and tight arms, ss didn't used to be like that. All my older SS has nice arms so they don't look like sausage casings and neck holes that don't look like mock necks, hate that ****.

It's just the Pine that has a small neck opening. Not sure why, but it's pretty structured and is almost like this quilted little donut around the neck, so maybe they messed up the measurements when designing that one. Looks cool worn, though, and I've gotten some good mileage out of mine this fall.

It's so painful to realize that even loose and drapey clothing looks the best on skinny people. At least it makes me go to the gym more.

sizing looks fine but the sweater is so unstructured that if your underlying shape isn't attractive, neither will the sweater. Mine went from looking like I'm pregnant to a normal drapey look as I lost more and more weight.

yea my arms are pretty itchy at first but you (or at least i) get used to it after awhile. love the side pockets, makes it super easy to wear as the single layer of outerwear.

I work out and consider myself at least decently swole so that's no problem. It just seems a bit billowy at the bottom, you think it looks good?

I love the texture and it's a fantastic knit just not sure.
