I'm not normally a sweater guy as I usually run really warm. Bought this to see how it would do as a hybrid, sweater/jacket. It's perfect. The quality, top notch. Fabric is lush'ish. It has some weight to it, but I didn't really notice it once it was on. Maybe it's the merino (I'm no expert), but temperature regulation is great. I have not had to take it off because I was melting. As you can tell, I'm very happy with the sweater. Well worth the price.

Commando style
Great looking sweater, has that Italian Commando look and feel. Great for Urban Outfitters
Awesome quality CWO. Had previous versions but this one is better. The collar is not floppy at all. Very warm. Very enticing. Makes the ladies go nuts.

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.
