Obsessed

Obsessed with the Wellfleet! So much so that I went ahead and ordered another! I’m a true small and sized up to a large for a cute oversized look. Will live in these this winter. Please make more colors!

Superior quality.

Beautiful sweater. Solid construction and weight. Bought for my daughters bday present and she absolutely loves it. She works in an office and is always cold, so her new sweater keeps her warm without overheating. Perfect for fall and cooler summer nights. She’s 5’5, 155 and wanted a fuller fit so I ordered a M. The sleeves are a little long but she doesn’t mind. A small probably would have worked as well for a more tailored look.

Cotton Knit Done Right

This roll neck sweater is a great piece—thick without being heavy, soft without being shapeless. The color of the Nantucket Red is a beautiful salmon pink. I would’ve preferred that the neck not be tacked down on one side (unlike the free neck on the classic J.
Crew version) but it’s a small issue on an otherwise fantastic sweater.

Hadn’t been cold enough to wear in Atlanta quite yet but the sweater is exactly as described. Quality and workmanship looks to be top notch. Can’t say enough about customer service - outstanding.

This is a great sweater!

I just received my sweater and even though I haven't had a chance to wear it yet (darn warm weather), I think I'm going to love it. It fits perfectly and appears to be well constructed. The only problem is that it is much heavier than I anticipated and it's going to have to be pretty cold before I can wear it comfortably...but in Spokane, it's just a matter of time.

Great sweater. Very well made. Unfortunately I usually take a tall and find this sweater a little short for me.

A True Heirloom Piece

I had my eye on the roll neck sweater for some time and was thrilled to preorder when it became available. It is even more beautiful in person. The craftsmanship, the quality of the cotton, the oversized fit is just perfection. You can tell how special this piece is just from holding it. I’m trying to refrain from buying another. I’ve worn it almost every day since I received it! I absolutely love my sweater, I’m excited to have it for many many years to come!
