• "I am a woman, I wear size 6, I got the extra small, and it fits great."
• "I’m 5’11” and around 210 lbs so I purchased a Large and it fits me nicely."
• "It fits him well. He normally wears a LG and I ordered an XL just to be sure it was roomy. It fits perfectly."

Cons:

• "Made from a somewhat irritating material, runs at least a half a size small."
• "One negative is the XXL is a bit short."
• "Size is small. I got an xl and it fits like a large."
• "This item was not even close to XL, at best the size is L. I'm average sized and could not button it comfortably and the sleeves ended well above my wrists."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "This sweater from Amazon Essential is of superior quality and fits phenomenal."
• "Great value and nice sweater!"
• "This is my second purchase of this sweater. Fits well, comfortable, and holds up without any observable defects."
• "They are strikingly well made for the price point and they look as good or better than the photos on the product pages."
• "It appears to be very well made."
• "The pockets are durable and buttons too."
• "The material is a really good quality too."

Cons:

• "In just a few months, this sweater has developed holes, a ratty appearance, and has stretched at least one size bigger."
• "This cardigan was poor quality all round, bad fabric nothing like the size I expected."
• "This was second sweater to replace same one which developed holes in the sleeves from normal use."
• "Sure they are inexpensive, and might look good at first. But like they say, you get what you pay for. Within a few months of occasional wear and careful washing one of the pockets started falling off and threads are coming out of the seams."
• "I really liked what I saw online so I bought this sweater thinking it would be cute with one of my skirts. But when it came there were two holes in the sweater."
• "The cotton pills with the white getting on the blue portion and vice versa. It takes me 15 minutes with a lint roller to make it presentable."
• "CONS: and shrinking material. The size is NOT true size, smaller than normal size. Cheap Amazon essential brand from inferior China junk!"

Price and Value

Pros:

• "The price is very reasonable if not unbeatable."
• "Overall For the price they ask this is an incredible product."
• "Similar cardigans in the store are $60 and up. This one is sturdy, washes well, fits perfectly, for a third of the retail store price."

• "Bought it as it was cheap for hanging around the house, but it looks great and just as good as others at 2 or 3 times the price."
• "GREAT value for the price. Maybe unbeatable value."
• "The price was fantastic!"

Cons:

• "Still on the hunt for a cheap lightweight charcoal cardigan that won't immediately pill and fits right :("
• "This is something I could find at Target in the summer. This is very thin and while comfortable, it’s low quality very thin fabric and far overpriced for such low quality."
• "Bought this on a Black Friday deal, I guess 'ya get what 'ya pay for."
• "The color is not the same as what the model is wearing for the brown cardigan."
• "I ordered a black cardigan and it looks almost navy in the sunlight, a tell all sign of a cheap product."
• "Loose threads everywhere, and part of the stitching on the rear of a pocket looks like someone who's never even heard of a needle tried to repair it with thick white string."
• "This isn’t anything I would expect to see on a new, never-worn garment."

Comfort and Style

Pros:

• "This was lightweight so he could easy layer it and not get too hot."
• "It's classic and classy! It looks great with jeans or slacks."
• "Absolutely love them all. Oh yea I bought my husband 4. He brags all the time how much he likes them because there not to big and bulky, still easy to move around in them."
• "It’s fine, just a cheap cardigan. But as often happens with a lot of Amazon Essentials clothing items, they shrink in very weird ways when you wash them."
• "Looks like a premium sweater. It is a solid choice for fabric, fit and style for a classic cardigan."
• "Great for the price and really comfortable."
• "It's stylish, warm, and keeps its shape."

Cons:

• "I disregarded the other reviewers who stated that this cardigan was made for a shorter person, or that the length was an issue."
• "thats not xxl its way too short, dont buy."
• "It's a very good sweater. Just not what I was looking for. I new it was a crap shoot when I bought it. Threw it out right after I tried it on."
• "Over all it was fine. Bottom button was to high basted on all the other button's thus leaving a gap between bottom and 2nd to last button. Show's a gap, appearance wise not the best."
• "I would have wished it was an inch longer."
• "It has to be the most bland and non-stylish sweater I have ever seen."
• "This is now my throw out the garbage sweater. Soon it will be in the garbage."
