Un problème
Boutonnière trop petites pour la grosseur des boutons . lorsque j'ai débouttonné le chandail j'ai eu de la difficulté et ça endommagé les ouvertures. J'ai donc été obligé de recoudre les ouvertures. Le résultat laisse à désirer. C'est vraiment dommage parceque le chandail lui même est super beau et confortable. .
