I bought this sweater in three colors because I love 100% cotton clothing items, and I work in an air conditioned office, so the idea of an "all year fabric" appealed to me. I bought the "oatmeal", the dark green, and the dark brown. The oatmeal is so beautiful and reminds me of seashells, but it's definitely oversized and looks a little sloppy on me. I'm between a medium and a large in knits, and the large was very long (covers my butt!) and definitely on the wide side. I'm also short, so the sleeves were a bit too long. I don't mind an oversized sweater in my personal time, so I'll wear that one more casually. It did not shrink in the wash the first time, but it did seem to stretch a tiny bit throughout the day. I just got the dark green and brown in today. The dark green in large fits closer to what I would consider a "classic" fit large, and I think it's a much better fit for work (not too oversize and the sleeves seem to fit better). The dark brown in large is oversized like the oatmeal with very long sleeves, and I will probably return that one for a medium or maybe even a petite medium. On a tall person with longer arms, maybe the oatmeal and dark brown would drape better. All the colors are beautiful. The fabric is not as nice as the American flag seaside cotton sweaters - it reminds me a bit of craft store yarn, but I think the weave itself is really pretty, and the sweaters aren't scratchy, but they're not silky either.

I hope it doesn't shrink in the length at all. The brown color is really nice.

I bought 3 of these. They are roomy, loose and soft....excellent! However, I put these in the wash on the hand wash/delicate cycle and they fuzzed EVERYWHERE! I had to clean out my washer and sweep the floor. I have never had ANY item of clothing that fuzzed the way these fuzz. It was utter chaos. They also pill and loose all shape while wearing them. They're comfy, and the colors are gorgeous but I kind of wish I could return them.
