This sweater is made out of acrylic, not cotton or another quality blend. I don't buy acrylic sweaters typically but I didn't read the details before I clicked buy.  Acrylic sweaters tend to pull and look bad after a bit, and this one is a little itchy to boot.  I wouldnt recommend this for a school sweater as a result.  The style is nice and my daughter loves it, so we are keeping it, but I definitely regret purchasing it.
