This Sweater is very comfortable is special for Winter . If you are in good shape this is for you, if you are overweight it is not for you.

I own two of these, one black, one navy. I've found them to run a little small, but they stretch enough after a few wears. I'm happy with the large and think the extra large would be too big.

The fabric is nice, its a little baggy so you might want to size down to make sure you can wear it under something without looking like you are going give birth.

Not much to like about this sweater.....upon opening the bag, it reeks of some type of plastic/rubber smell--if you've ever thrown something made of plastic into a fire--you'll recognize the smell immediately! It also had some kind of 'crease' across the midriff, that bulged out like a sore thumb. After the first washing, the smell and the crease pretty much went away--but both were still faintly noticeable. The sizes do run a little small, but they DO stretch, so you might be OK with that. I've worn it 3 times since I got it, and after the third washing, the material on the elbows/shoulder patches are falling apart, and developing a 'threadbare' look....in other words, spend the money and buy a REAL wool, commando, sweater--not this China-made, plastic crap. For the price they're charging--it isn't worth it.

I was really looking forward to receiving this sweater and disappointed that it has to be returned. The body of this sweater is too tight and too long. I am 6' and the size XL I purchased comes down almost below my "backside" without stretching. I'll admit the days of washboard abs are behind me but only someone built like Ryan Reynolds would look good in this sweater. This is not designed for the average guy.

i only ordered this for part of my halloween costume, and i was satisfied with it, the thing that sucked was that the UPS guy always left notices at my apt. saying he stopped by, but i made sure to be home to sign for it.. so after 3 tries, i finally caught him leaving my front step (the day before halloween) and i was happy to have my sweater, but once i opened it up upstairs i realized there's a giant fold in the middle of it, it was good for my costume, but after halloween, i wanted to wear it for normal purposes, so i washed it, then that same fold in the middle of it was still there.. it's annoying, but whatever, i only wanted it for a one time purpose anyway.

Just got the sweater today. Love the look, the fit is tight in all the right places. The sweater is also very warm. If you you have a "V" shape body, this is for you. If your the rounder "O" type of shape, I would consider a snuggie instead.

I was very pleased with the quality of the sweater. I'm a size 44R, and I ordered a large. It looks good, but the only issue is that it is slightly too long and has an excess amount of room around the waist. This causes noticeable overlapping at the waist, creating the appearance of a bit more girth than exists, lol. I think I'm going to order a medium and see if it remedies that issue. Otherwise, it's a great quality sweater, especially at this price.

Just what I was expecting. I'm a size 44 and the large size fits perfectly. I've had acrylic sweaters before and they wear like iron. This seems no different, Seems well made, warm and durable. Very happy with the purchase,

I have to admit I knew what I was getting when I ordered this. I knew it would just look HOT on my boyfriend, and it does. This is the perfect sweater for a man with a muscular upper body. It shows the shape very well. Sometimes sweaters make a man more round, not this one...highly recommended
