Amazon calls this Pendleton sweater a cardigan (which is the name of a sweater that buttons or zips in the front), but it's a pullover crew-neck sweater - and it's not grouped among Amazon's pullover sweaters, which is a mistake.

I purchased two, liked them, and purchased two more. The medium size I would judge to be size 42, which is large according to most men's clothing sizes (36-37 = Small; 38-40 = Medium; 42-44 = Large). The sleeves are quite long, and the set-in shoulder falls off the shoulder. A Shetland wool crew-neck ought to be slightly roomy. It's a cool-weather, foggy-mist or drizzle pullover that can be bloused at the waist or kept long on the trunk and also cover the hands.

Shetland wool is soft, but it's not as soft as lambswool; and lambswool isn't as soft as Merino wool. These Pendleton sweaters are a medium weave, neither loose nor tight. The wool thread isn't long, so it tends to 'ball' from wear, which is normal; a sweater brush or hair brush can keep the sweater's nap in good condition.

The crew-neck's vertical weave 'collar' has been handsomely attached with a folded inside blind weave, so it blends well without looking sewn on. The collar doesn't have that integrated woven look of a much more expensive sweater, but it looks quite good.

I haven't washed the sweater yet. Pendleton allows machine washing and light machine drying. I've machine washed and dryer dried other Shetland crews, and I've found that they become much softer. Also, the weave closes as the yarns shrink slightly.

The colors are quite lovely.
