Very well made in Ireland; a classic!

Product picture

This is a classic sweater in the button up cardigan style, made in Ireland by Carraig Donn, a highly regarded maker of Aran sweaters and other wool garments. It's highly versatile: It can be worn with a dress shirt and tie in all but formal business environments, yet it looks equally good with a black T-shirt and jeans. The sweater is 100% wool. As such, it has the best properties of wool, such as warmth and moisture-wicking. I find it ideal for use in the 35-55 degree Farenheit range, with no jacket on top of the sweater. (For lower temperatures, a jacket over it would work fine). Note that it does not have any man-made fibers such as acrylic or nylon; some makers make their sweaters with 10-20% of these fibers to lower costs, but they also can have the advantage of adding strength or helping a sweater keep its form. Bottom line: Very high quality, made with nothing but pure new wool -- but you do have to treat it nicely (dry cleaning is best, as is keeping it folded and away from moths!) The only (minor) negatives about this item are: Because it's 100% new wool, it is a bit itchy against exposed skin - but not a problem at all so long as you wear long sleeves underneath. Also, the buttoms are resin. Hardwood would make it a real classic, but also much more expensive and the resin buttons are almost indistinguishable from hardwood unless you examine them closely. All in all, a very nice item that you won't easily find unless you travel to Ireland. It's worth the price, as it will probably last 10 or 15 years if you take care of it.

Lots of complements

Beautiful sweater. My only complaint is the obvious one--it is so beautiful that you can only wear it now and again because everyone who has seen it recognizes it.

Absolutely gorgeous

I have been eyeing this sweater for months. Finally, I was able to save $20 off, so placed my order. I am a fan of Ana Fernandez's sweaters, and this one did not disappoint. The sweater fits me perfectly (size S). I can wear it buttoned down or not. The colors make it possible to wear with lots of different color slacks or jeans, although it is just a tad dressy for the latter. The pattern is woven in; at first I thought it was embroidered on, but I assure you it is woven as part of the garment. It truly is better in person than in the photo. And it is sooo soft. I absolutely love this item: the style, the overall pattern on the front, cuffs, and back, as well as its versatility. Ana has a fan in me. I can't wait to see what she designs next.
