The construction of this sweater is much better than I expected for the price. It is not heavy, so if someone is looking for something like this, this may not be for you. That being said, it is the perfect three-season weight for most uses and is indeed quite warm. I ordered a small, which is my normal size, and the fit is just loose enough to not look sloppy, and still a bit of a modern oversized fit. I did find that for my longer arms, the sleeves came right up to my wrists, so if you have long arms, the sleeves would be a little shorter. For the price, I am very happy. Well cared for, this is a timeless style that I will own for many years.
