A piece to keep forever
I am a spinner, weaver and knitter and am very familiar with alpaca fiber. This sweater is a gorgeous piece - meticulously well-made and I know it will last a lifetime. It is worth more than the asking price. And as baby alpaca fiber (before the first shearing), it has a loft and softness that feels wonderful next to my skin. I am pleased with my purchase.

Very comfortable and warm
My favorite part of this sweater is the nature of the fabric. It is made in a way that feels like it is part of you and not obstructing you. It moves and stretches with your body in a way that you don't feel it on most of the time. It is low profile and not bulky making it a good base layer option if needed. The XL fit was perfect for me (I am 6'1", 200 lbs). The garment is cut well and allows for movement of the arms and bending at the elbows. If I bend my elbow, the cuff does not slide up at all. If I raise my arms completely over my head, the sweater barely raises off my waist. This is one of my favorite garments that I have ever had the pleasure of owning. I really wish these were cheaper so that I could buy a few more (one for the office, one for home, one for travel etc). Right now, I am using mine at the office and it would would fine in any office setting (casual with jeans, business casual, and wearing a tie). If you are on the fence, just buy it.
