When I first put on the sweater, I thought it was a little more fitted at the bottom than I wanted. How, after wearing it a couple of days it loosened up perfectly. I wore it in anew Mexico for 10 days at around 5200 feet. Cold mornings were no problem for this sweater. I wore it with a down vest, but even with temps in the 30s, I often removed the vest quickly. I worried it would be too hot in the desert sun, and when the temps reached the 50s, if I was moving about, it got a little warm. But I was thankful for it in the shade. It proved to be good late winter layer at home.
I bought the sweater to travel in Europe. I am an avid hiker and wanted a single sweater that would serve as a hiking layer and something I could dress up a little in the evening. The color, fit, and performance of this sweater have been wonderful these past 20 days in Portugal. The weather here has been cooler and wetter than average, and I have appreciated the warmth the sweater provided! It is the piece of clothing I had been looking for over the past decade of travel. Lightweight, warm, versatile. To anyone considering late winter, early spring travel in Europe, l highly recommend the all season boatneck. Easy to care for, dried quickly the one time I washed it overseas, and a great foundation for a travel capsule. Looking forward to see how it continues to perform over the next two weeks as I walk a part of the Camino!

The Medium boatneck sage green sweater fits me great. I was borderline on a size re: medium or a large and I went with medium and I’m glad. I’ve worn it with jeans and with business casual pants. It feels really well made unlike the cheap cashmere I bought from Quince that developed holes after a few wears. I’ve never spent even close to this on a sweater but now I have a collection of pilled and worn out sweaters and this feels like it will last. I like the boatneck and the body shape because I’m kind of hourglass shaped and this slightly more fem style looks better on me than the crew and v necks and more square bodied sweaters. This sweater is making me think about replacing my three somewhat worn out $50 black sweaters with one nice yak wool black sweater. I feel good spending more for quality, better practices for workers, animals and the environment. I do wish the promos were more transparent that this sweater is indeed made with yak wool but primarily is merino wool if you read fabric details. I would still buy it but you would create more trust for me by telling the whole story up front.

This is a great sweater, it is light-weight, warm, and comfortable. The yak yarn is really perfect - a soft feel that sits comfortably on your body, and not the least bit scratchy. So nice to have a natural material, reminds me of the locally made sweaters in Central America, but less bulky. This one was described as "undyed" and it is a beautiful natural brown color.
I normally take a large in womens, but this sleeve length and body length were long - it fit perfectly otherwise, and because it is not bulky I was able to easy adjust the length just by folding it at the wrists and waist - it stayed in place and still looked nice. I like the neckline too. Next time I will get a medium, but I am keeping this one!
Overall this seems like it would be comfortable over a wide temperature range, and would be a perfect base layer (especially since it does run long) for colder pursuits.

Love the classic look. Fits great. Sleeves are long enough to cuff but I like the soft folds at my wrists. I love that the sweater is long but thin enough to half tuck it for a little style. So far I love it.

I realized about a year ago, that every time I wore poly fleece I wasn’t warm at all unless I added a wool base layer. I also learned about microplastics in laundry, how they enter our environment, and how they’re absorbed into our bodies. So I began my search for alternatives to all of the fleece sportswear I own. I need versatile pieces that go with all kinds of other clothing, Because I travel. I’m also trying to pare down my wardrobe and simplify.
I received my boat neck sweater today. I could not be more pleased! It is the most gorgeous charcoal, color, extremely soft and can be worn right against my sensitive skin, and it fits absolutely perfectly! I do have long limbs, so it’s not often that sleeves are long enough for me. But the sleeves of this sweater are! Today, I’m wearing it with jeans, but I know it will look great with black pants, skirts, and over dresses. I went for a walk this afternoon and put it over a sports bra and leggings, and it looked and felt great! It will not be hard at all to wear this for 30 days! I think that I would also like to add another color eventually. I’m so pleased with the fit and feel and style of this sweater, I think it was worth every penny!

On-Demand Knitting:
All of our knitwear is made on-demand in Brooklyn, New York. We're passionate about being part of the solution to reduce waste, which is why we make our products on-demand. This means that your sweater doesn't sit around for months before it reaches you - we start working on it as soon as you place your order!
Since we're creating each piece just for you, it may take a bit longer to receive your order than with traditional fashion brands. On average, it takes 3-6 days to knit your sweater after you place your order, and then shipping can take 2-5 days. But we promise it will be worth the wait! Our slow fashion approach means you're getting a high-quality product that's good for the planet too.
Oliver Charles sweaters can last a lifetime, which matters because by wearing our clothes for even 9 months longer, our individual carbon footprint can be reduced by 30%, equivalent to removing half a million cars off the road per person per year.
If your sweater becomes damaged from holes or snagged threads, send it back and we'll restore it to the best of our abilities.
Our return and exchange policy lasts 30 days. To make gifting easier, any orders placed in November and December can be returned or exchanged through the end of January. To be eligible for a return, your item must be undamaged and in the same condition that you received it. Exchanges are subject to availability.

One of the most important factors that affects the way wool feels is the fiber fineness. Thinner diameter fiber is softer. While a human hair has a average diameter of 75 microns (µm), the yak wool (AKA "khullu") we use in our sweaters is ultra-fine at 17.5µm.
Wools that are generally considered "soft" have a fineness <20µm. Although, at the end of the day, you know best, so try new materials at different levels of fineness and decide what you like wearing most. If you find a wool sweater you love but find slightly itchy, note that fine wools, like khullu, get softer with washing.
Wicking is an important benefit of wool, because in order to regulate body temperature, humans can sweat several liters a day. All this sweat can get pretty smelly right? In fact, sweat only becomes odor if it isn't wicked away. Wool has a number of unique moisture management properties that allow it to resist body odor making it ideal for #repeat wear and simplifying your life.
1) Saturation regain: wool can absorb and retain up to 35% of its own weight in moisture and still feel dry to the touch, which reduces sweat buildup and discourages bacterial growth.
2) Isolation of bacteria: after sweat is absorbed from the skin's surface it travels outwards where it evaporates. In the process, wool actively binds and isolates bacteria within it's fiber. The isolation of bacteria reduces odor to the point where unwashed wool has 66% less odor intensity than plastic-based fibers and 28% less than cotton fabrics (Woolmark).
Fun fact: bacteria thrive in humid environments, where sweat is trapped instead of being wicked away. For example, while a 1x1cm area on a human forearm contains around 100 bacteria, an identical square in the armpit contains on average 10 million bacteria (Popular Science).
We make our sweaters from yak down, which is the hair they shed naturally in the spring, all the herders do to collect it is simply brush the animals.
Our sweaters are made in Brooklyn, New York by Tailored Industry. We work with them to create our sweaters through a new manufacturing process called WHOLEGARMENT® 3D-knitting.
We chose Tailored Industry vs. other WHOLEGARMENT® manufacturers in part because of their brand vision. They want to become a platform for on-demand knitwear. We're hoping we can grow together, create all kinds of custom sizes, and eventually remove the need for inventory completely.
Pilling is the natural process that occurs when the shorter natural wool fibers work their way to the surface of a sweater.
Pilling is normal and expected with any wool piece of clothing, but fear not because there is a tried and true method to manage pilling.
The first thing you should do is wash your sweater after the first 4 wears. Throw your sweater in the wash with a pair of jeans, just make sure to close the zippers.
Over time, shorter fibers causing pilling will pull away on their own.
Many of our sweaters, including Summer Sweaters and All-Season Sweaters, are machine washable. However, we recommend checking the care instructions for each style to be certain. For 100% yak wool sweaters, we suggest hand washing and laying them flat to dry.
