I got the All-Season Hoodie, size XS in Navy blue. I initially was worried about whether I should order a size up to wear layers underneath. I'm used to having to wear a long sleeve layer under sweaters because I don't like scratchy fibers on my bare skin. I didn't size up because it looked nice on other people in the fitted look.
I was also worried about the color. I liked the light blue, because I like lighter colors, but wasn't sure it would go with my skin tone (medium tan). In the end I chose the dark blue, because I feel like that goes with everything. I think I could have gone with the lighter color, because the blue is so dark it's almost black, and it ended up that I like wearing the sweater so much and I don't always want to be wearing dark colors!
Anyways, the dark blue does look nice. It's very classy and I've been pairing it with lighter colored pants.
It's also so soft and not at all scratchy against my bare skin. It's very cozy and perfect for fickle Los Angeles fall weather. I can wear it over a tank top and it's not too hot even when the sun is warm. It's a perfect underlayer with a soft shell for windy conditions.
I recommend it for anyone out doing errands, on a walk by the ocean, going to the farmer's market, having lunch with friends, pretty much anything goes with this sweater!

I had been interested in buying an Oliver Charles sweater for multiple years. I was curious to see if the quality of the hoodie was worth the price tag. I had always struggled to find a wool sweater that was warm, non-itchy AND felt substantial in construction. Not to mention stylish! I am very impressed with the 3D knitting. It gives the sweater a completely unique look and feel. It is fitted to your body, yet not constricting. It doesn’t stretch out after multiple wears, and retains its shape so well.
The 7 day challenge really helped me to enjoy the utility and beauty of what I wore. The sweater kept me warm and cozy, but it also looked really good. And, I didn’t tire of wearing it at all! I would definitely recommend an Oliver Charles sweater to others. I was hesitant to spend so much, but I feel the quality of the sweater has been an excellent investment. I would much rather have one Oliver Charles sweater, than multiple sub par sweaters. Thank you Oliver Charles, this one is a keeper!

I was really hoping it wasn’t itchy. It was not at all. It’s like wearing your favorite hoodie. The temperature regulation was wonderful. Not hot, but also kept me perfectly warm outside in 40 degrees and windy. NO air gets through the weave. So comfy! I have already recommended to everyone I have seen while wearing it, coworkers and family included. I really love that it’s sustainable, no waste, made in the US and will last a lifetime.

I really enjoyed the challenge! It pushed me to wear the item of clothing creatively and the sweater truly did get better with each wear. I usually wear a small but chose the XS based on the measurements provided. I'm glad I did because the fit was great. It was fitted, but not so much that I couldn't wear another layer underneath the sweater. I will say that "all season" could be someone misleading depending on where you live. Unfortunately we had a spring heat wave here on the east coast and the sweater got a little uncomfortable at degrees above 75 F. That said, I still wore it a lot indoors to stave off the AC chill. I would recommend this sweater to most people in my life. My friends who are very active - hiking and climbing - this is a reliable piece of clothing that is up to the challenge of being in variable activities and climates. I think of my folks and other friends who travel a lot. A sweater that requires minimal wash, is versatile, functional and comfortable helps with packing a smaller wardrobe. All of the emails and info leading up to the challenge was really helpful and informative. The Facebook page is very sweet and it's nice to see folks at various stages of their challenges and testing. Can't wait to try another style!

The fit was nice. It might be a tad bigger than I need. Love that you cannot feel any seams.
It feels like something I have never felt. It feels sturdy and pliable with a cloud of soft fibers around it with absolutely NO itchiness!
The color is interesting too. It is like an oatmeal color and the cloud mentioned above adds a haze of dark brown.
If I had my way, I'd wear it everywhere! Well, maybe not to a formal affair. As it is, I will be wearing it on a tour in Australia to find animals in the wild in all sorts of spring weather.
There are so many things I like about Oliver Charles. Most importantly that they only make the garments as they are ordered instead of trying to anticipate demand then trying to get rid of the excess. And now that I have ordered something the quality of the garment is outstanding, and you can tell it will last a long time.

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.
For orders below $200, please note that shipping fees from Oliver Charles to our customers are non-refundable. However, in the event of an exchange or return, we've got you covered! Return shipping for exchanges or returns is pre-paid, so you won't have to worry about additional costs.

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.
