I bought the CWO sweater late last year and used it throughout the Winter and early Spring. The design was spot on for me with warm high collar, 2 way zipper, hand pockets, and reinforced shoulders and elbows.
Initially, I was cautious, as it is attractive, wool knit and expensive, so it saw lighter use. There was no need. It is so warm and comfortable it became my go to for errands, hikes or just chilly mornings on the deck.
While I’ve never abused it, it has held up beautifully through hikes and chores. If anything it has gained a bit of character. Well done PDW.
