Review: perfect - Have been looking for a wool cardigan for some time. Came across this and decided to take a shot despite reviews complaining about button holes and fit...etc... This cardigan was an excellent choice. I am a big guy 6'3" and 265 so I ordered an xxl....perfect. Yes, was a little tight at the bottom button but, that is how wool sweaters fit new. I have no doubt that this cardigan will wear nicely and loosen up over time. This sweater is very warm and looks great. This was shipped to me in a matter of days from Dublin in excellent condition. I am pretty confident you would never find an authentic Merino wool cardigan in the states as inexpensive and of the quality of this cardigan....Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to build a fire and relax in comfort.....
Review: A Manly Sweater - This is a well-made, very comfortable & stylish sweater for a man. I bought it to wear in & around the house, kind of like Ward Cleaver, during the winter months, but it's definitely nice enough to wear in public places - in fact, it's too nice not to. I am 6' 2", 245 lbs. & the 2x fits me exactly as I expected, so I'm very pleased about that. The wool is soft enough that even a "cotton only" person like me is not itchy when wearing it over short sleeves & that was my biggest concern. To be honest, I did tumble it in the dryer, no heat, with 2 Bounce sheets for about 40 minutes before I wore it. I gave it 5 stars despite the way the button holes are done, which seems really strange on an otherwise finely-crafted product. The holes appear to be just that - holes. There is no "border" around them, you just sort of cram the button through the opening. This is my first really upscale wool sweater, so maybe they're all that way & I'm not sophisticated enough to know it. I posted pix of the button holes, as viewed from front & back, to illustrate my point. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this product & recommend it enthusiastically.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I wear a 46" xl. some reviews say order up xxl. i want it roomy but not excessive. what size should i order?**
A: The sweater is very short. I have a 31 inch inseam and I am the same size up in chest. The sweater does not cover my belt when I wear it with jeans.

**Q: I'm 6'3"  slim, 170lbs. what would be my size?**
A: Wellsir, I'm 5'10" and 220 and a large fits me generously, with a fair amount of length to spare. I'd think you'd likely do well with a large, as well.

**Q: Is it washable or need dry cleaning?**
A: It's wool!  All wool can be washed but you need to treat it gently. Cold water, and dry flat.  Heat will cause the fibers to shrink.  It's not rocket science and you can wash it yourself by treating gently.

**Q: I lost a button for green sweater. Can I get a button only?**
A: Hi,
Unfortunately we don't have the buttons on their own I'm afraid, my sincere apologies about that.
Many Thanks,
Carrolls Irish Gifts

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The fact that it's Irish feels special...
*by D***R on May 13, 2022*

Update Feb '25: Still my favorite sweater. Wearing well since the addition of the elbow pads. Update Feb ‘23: The addition of elbow patches made a huge difference! It cost me $40, but the sweater feels even more comfortable now. Definitely my favorite sweater! Update Jan '23: Really love this sweater, but it has not worn well. After only 7 months, there is a hole in the right elbow which I was able to repair with needle and thread, but the wool has completely worn away. I plan to have a tailor add leather patches to extend the life of the product. I did reach out to the vendor and they responded within minutes (on a Sunday!) but the news was not what I hoped to hear. They informed me that since it had been longer than 60 days, there was nothing they would be able to do. Reasonable, I suppose, but disappointing and makes me wonder about their confidence in the product. L.L. Bean has a much better customer satisfaction policy, perhaps because their products wear so much better. Rating: I initially dropped my four star rating to three stars to reflect the lack of wearing longevity, but then added back the star to reflect how much I really like the product despite my initial misgivings. Really hoping the elbow patches do the trick! May '22: Have only worn this sweater a day, but here are my initial impressions and observations: 1. Merino wool is still wool. It is not soft, like cotton or cashmere, and is a bit scratchy on my bare arms. Not incredibly so, however. 2. Notwithstanding comment #1, the sweater is very comfortable. Seems to breathe nicely so I don't overheat. 3. It is a hand-wash only item. No washers, no dryers. 4. I am 6'1" and 197#. I like my cardigans to wear loosely...like a jacket. I would be drowning in an American XXL, but this XXL is actually a good fit for me. The length of the sweater is great for me (see photo). 5. I wear a 34" long sleeve shirt. The sweater sleeves come down just past my wrist--perfect for me. (see photos). 5. The "shawl collar" was very thin and small--I expected a much thicker roll to create a cozier collar. (see photo) 6. The two pockets are nicely deep. Despite/because all of this, I think I am going to love this sweater. It will be my "office sweater", worn daily most of the day in air conditioning. It's also nice looking!
