Smartwool Sparwood Crew Sweater - Men's for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

I loved this sweater for the fit, feel and warmth. It is thin but keeps me warm. I like to wear it over a t-shirt when going out on a cool day. It is comfortable and keeps me warm. It is also true to size. However, after only 3 or 4 wears and 2 washes and hang drying, the stitching under the collar, right in the front, has unraveled (see picture). I'm not sure what to do here. If I bought this at the local REI I could take it back for an easy exchange. Seems like too much of a hassle to do it through Backcountry. Now, instead of wearing it to work on a casual day, I'll have to just wear it for personal use, which fits my sloppy personal style. It costs way to much to be used as a sloppy sweater.

Material feels nice, but you would need to dawn three or four of them before stepping outside in the winter. The waste hem is very loose. Appears stretched out/bell shaped. Bottom line I would not expect this to survive very long, so I returned it. Note: This product is very similar to the "Ripple Ridge", which I also returned.

I bought these in a few colors and wore them under a shell in Northern Europe and was very comfortable. Seem to be durable although it did pill under the arms a bit. No smell with multiple days of wear.

First off, the fit is dialed, perfectly slim without being tight, and relaxed enough to wear at the office. Secondly, the material feels more like cashmere, luxurious and soft... but you can wash it at home! The color is rich and needs to be seen in hand to really gain an appreciation. This really feels like it should cost 3 or 4 times the price. I am 165lbs, 5'10", normally wear a medium in all brands except fashion/Euro I wear a large, I got this in medium, and it is ideal.
