I've never loved another sweater/cardigan as much as I love this one! I bought the navy blue with pockets. The material is so heavenly soft, just so light and comfortable even in 100 degree weather. It's the perfect sweater for every season. I got a large (my normal size) and it is a perfect loose fit. It did come with a hole in the pocket but I didn't mind mending it myself because the material is so much more than what I expected to pay for. To clean it, I put it in an extra light cycle and hang it to dry. I did put it in the dryer once to dry it quicker as I wanted to wear it out that same day and it did not tear or shrink. I've had it since almost the beginning of the year and the color has remained the same, no fading. I definitely recommend it!!
