This sweater is warm, and true to size. I normally wear an XLT and the arms were the perfect length for me (this may be a problem if you have really short arms). The cut is tight enough so that it does look baggy, but loose enough that it doesn’t look like you are wearing spandex (going back to me wearing an XLT, no one wants to see that).
The other reviewer is correct; this is ‘wool’ wool, and on the itchy side, but after an hour or so it was not a problem. I own a few wool sweaters, and I love that this one comes with a faint lanolin smell. That’s something you don’t get from the name brands at the big box stores.

If you've never owned wool, you should buy it!

First of all, I must say that it is real itchy at first. After a couple days of wearing it and always feeling irritated I was about to call to return it. Then on the third day I got used to it and began to love it. I ride my bike to work every day and morning is the coldest time of day. On days when I used to wear a sweater underneath a light jacket now I only need the wool sweater. And when I get to work I don't need to even take it off because it doesn't overheat. It looks nice and I've received compliments on the sweater. I bought the Large and it is bigger than I expected. If I was trying to look stylish, I would wear a Medium. But I'm happy with it fitting real loose. After a couple of months of owning this sweater I wear it as much as I can. It just is a scratchy sweater, though. (even after giving it a bath in conditioner) And, because my arms are sensitive, it has to be worn over long sleeve shirts only. I would recommend this sweater experience to a friend
