Cold-weather walks and errands over a turtleneck
One reviewer reports this sweater keeps them warm and fits over a turtleneck, making it a workable outer layer for cold-weather walks and errands. Another reviewer found the knit a bit scratchy against bare skin, which fits the layering approach anyway.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Fuzzy Rugby Stripe Alpaca-Blend Sweater: Choose this if you want a plush, fuzzy alpaca-blend knit (55% alpaca wool) in a loose, boxy fit with dropped shoulders, wide horizontal rugby stripes, a Johnny collar, and ribbed cuffs and hem; it comes in sizes X-Small through X-Large in Patterned Blue or Patterned Red. One reviewer reports it keeps them warm and fits over a turtleneck as an outer layer for cold-weather walks, while another finds the fit runs very wide and not suited to a tailored silhouette. Fabric feel is mixed across reviewers—soft and comfortable to one, slightly scratchy to another, who suggests wearing a shirt underneath.[1,2,3] | Colourful Stripes Fuzzy Sweater Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want a soft, fuzzy boxy pullover in wide horizontal multicolored stripes: it has a ribbed mock neck, ribbed short elbow-length sleeves, matching ribbed hem and cuffs, and contains a touch of wool (66% acrylic, 18% polyester, 8% wool, 8% PBT). It is slightly cropped with dropped shoulders and a straight hem at the upper hips, so it suits relaxed, shorter silhouettes rather than full-length coverage.[4,5,6,7] | Striped Soft Sweater: Choose this if you want a lightweight layer for fall or spring days when a heavy knit is too much. It is a relaxed-fit, long-sleeve crewneck in a soft stretch knit of 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose, 28% polyester and 22% nylon, with horizontal black and off-white stripes, ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, and a short straight hem. Analyzed customer reviews describe the fabric as gentle on skin and reportedly suitable for people with wool allergies, and the material is not too thick and hangs nicely; the sweater fits true to size in sizes X-SMALL to X-LARGE across five colorways, though the reported comfort and warmth feedback comes from a summary of reviews rather than directly available customer comments.[8,9] |

Love it!
Nice and cosy.
Pretty sweater
Sorry this is in English . When I ordered it, the site switched to French so I kept with it as I could it out not realizing all correspondence would continue in French:) Anyway I've ordered this pretty sweater for my daughter for Christmas. Size small in the brown/red tones. I tried it on and I could wear it easily even though I would say I'm a medium. It is a bit scratchy so would wear a shirt under it and if she can't tolerate it then I will keep it and do just that. The brown/red tones suit me even though I usually tend towards cooler tones...something about the look of this sweater sits right.
Lovely but style/fit too large
Lovely sweater. However the style is very wide and doesn't suit me.
Comfortable warm seeater
Very comfortable and soft. It will keep you warm. You can wear a turtleneck under it and go outside.
