The lambswool crew is a very warm sweater. Great as a layer under an outdoor puffer or parka, it is almost too warm to wear over a button down shirt indoors. Only a long sleeve t-shirt underneath will suffice. The fit (XXL) was perfect and the brown color was very understated and earthy. On sale after the holidays, it was a terrific bargain at under $35.
It’s not every day you get the best of both worlds, but this crew sweater delivers – bringing together all the hardworking features of wool and nylon into one handsome, versatile garment. Its 70% lambswool/30% nylon blend feels warm, natural and remarkably soft, yet durable and easy moving. There’s just the right amount of heat retention and flexibility to keep you comfortable and capable when shiver season hits. 100% cotton inside the neck gives you itch-free comfort all day. Reach Gussets® add an extra measure of freedom. We’ve even built spandex into the rib-knit cuffs and bottom so they won’t sag out of shape.

I love the fit of this sweater. It isn't too short, the sleeves are long enough, but not overly so. I'm usually torn between long and normal sizes, and this is the first time one has fit me perfectly. It's also very nice as mid-layer for the cold weather we get in washington state. I highly recommend this sweater.
Love this thing. Fits better than any other sweater I have had. Sleeves are nice and long.
