I am 5’7”, 185 lbs, and usually like an xl in sweaters. I needed this to fit but not be overly large, so I ordered a large per the reviews. It’s perfect. The color is as shown in the ad, and the fit is nice. Not too loose, not “clingy”, sleeves are the perfect length. I’m going to fold it instead of hanging it for storage as I think the weight of it on a hanger would stretch it. It’s not itchy and is beautiful, front and back. Likely will order another one as it can be dressed up or worn with jeans.
