Very soft great fit

Just received my CWO sweater 1/2 hour ago.
Initial impressions; the wool is very soft, fits great, it’s pretty heavy, look forward to wearing it!
Purchased size M
5’ 10”, 169lbs
As mentioned in the description it’s a tailored fit. If I had a belly it would be snug.

Hands Down Best Sweater

I’ve now had my new CWO sweater for a few weeks now and even after just receiving and opening the packaging the quality was clearly obvious!! I’ve owned similar sweaters from other competing manufacturers that produce clothing in the US or specifically California that charge more money for the same design, and their quality is not even close to the Prometheus CWO sweater. This thing is a beast that will keep you warm as a midlayer, or as an outer layer in the appropriate environments. Take my advice and purchase the PDW CWO sweater instead of the competitors that charge more money you’ll save money and be happier in terms of quality!!!

Fantastic Quality and Product

I had heard for a period of time that Prometheus had far exceeded the quality of TAD; so I decided to purchase a PDW CWO sweater. I’ve compared it to my TAD sweater known as the “Special Service Sweater”, and I am so happy I finally listened and bought PDW!! The CWO sweater they sell is far better in quality of wool, stitching, and warmth factor….plus PDW had my order at my door far earlier than I ever expected it to arrive!! Now that I know where the quality items are I’ll be purchasing a LOT more Prometheus Design Werx products in the very near future!!

Beautiful Sweater

It's very nice. If you like this style, it's beautiful. I'm a hefty guy, XXL fits fine even if it is a somewhat more athletic fit - it looks nice. I wouldn't balk at the price, the quality is clearly there, it's heavy, you're getting plenty of sweater here. Excited to test it out on an upcoming trip!
