Amazon Essentials Women’s Lightweight Open-Front Cardigan Sweater (Available in Plus Size)

Exactly the travel sweater I wanted!
This is a lightweight weave. I wanted something I can cram into my personal item for the plane. You know how after 30 minutes being herded like cattle, it’s 95 F in the jetway? You sit on the tarmac for the obligatory 45 minutes and the flight attendants are about to pass out in their polyester uniforms, so as soon as your flight is clear to take off the air handler comes on and suddenly you could store popsicles in economy class? This is the garment you want on hand.This sweater is a thin weave but just enough to throw on and keep you from turning blue when your neighbor turns all the air jets on his sweaty self. The weave is tight enough it doesn’t self destruct when it sees a spiral notebook or a stucco wall. This is by no means a solo winter sweater, but it would be great for a chilly business casual office as wellIt’s well sewn and drapes gracefully should you wish to conceal something like a passport wallet on a string or a well-trained chihuahua. It comes down a bit past your hips and gives the vague impression of a blazer. I think the weave is dense enough to pin a brooch or an ID tag onto without destroying it.Best of all, I am an elderly, short, very plus size lady. The sleeves are a bit long on me (normal size for someone over 5’1″). They slide up just fine so your hands are free. And it’s a true plus size – I would say the 6X would work for everyone from a baggy 3X to a 7X if you like a tighter fit. That leads me to believe the sizing might be true for smaller size persons as well. That’s rare these days.This thing makes an awesome blanket if you’re stuck on a cold train or bus, then it rolls up smaller than a pair of plus size jeans.I’m off to buy another one while they’re on sale. If you’re a traveler who gets cold, or just want something a bit more stylish than a sweatshirt to keep you warm, get one of these.

Comfy and Nice
Bought this in 12/22 ($15.30) after I bought the camel version. Cardigan is lightweight, comfy and true to size. The color is a true olive. Not like others that are lighter. It is now double the price ($27) w/ no change to design or thickness to fabric. Such a shame, I have three but cannot justify buying another at the new price. Perfect to layer with a heavier coat.

Lightweight, but not very soft material
This cardigan is a mix of sunflower and mustard colored. I believe it runs large. It is also not a soft typical cardigan material. It doesnt seem to be made to last. I tried it on and returned it.

Size XS on L person as a cute shrug
So I wanted basically a summer weight shrug to cover my arms in sleeveless tops. I have a favorite pink madewell cardigan in size XS and wanted to emulate that. This got great reviews and was on super cheap sale in the color I wanted, navy, in size XS. I’m 5’9, 165 lbs and 38E, but I figured size XS would be a little arm coverer. It is perfect for my needs! It is SO SOFT! Obviously it’s very stretchy so the XS fits my arms just fine. I’m big boned but thin and although I carry my weight up top, it’s just perfect. It fits over form fitting tee shirts and any tank top/sleeveless dress. Perfect summer shrug! Sure, it doesn’t have pockets like my madewell one, but other than that they’re pretty similar. In fact, this one is way softer! I will not dry it in the dryer. This has no buttons, it’s meant to be worn open. I love the deep dark navy color.

Es solo un poco más delgado de lo que imaginaba, pero fuera de eso, me gustó mucho y todo en orden con el envio.

Ich bin von diesen leichten Strickjacken (habe ich zwischenzeitlich in vielen Farben) sehr begeistert. Das Material ist für den Preis haptisch erstaunlich hochwertig. Die Verarbeitung ist gut. Und die übliche Größe, die ich sonst trage, passt auch hier hervorragend. Ein guter Sitz, schöne Farben. Ich fühle mich in diesen Strickjacken rundum wohl, liebe sie geradezu. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis finde ich unschlagbar. Ich bin von diesen verschlusslosen Strickjacken wirklich sehr angetan und freue mich über meine Käufe. Die Farbe, die auf meinem Bildschirm wie gelb aussieht hat sich tatsächlich als ein sehr schöner warm-satter Goldton herausgestellt, der mir überaus gut gefällt. Ebenfalls sehr angetan bin ich von den Farben “kamelbraun meliert”, “burgunderrot”, “hellgrau meliert”, “indigoblau meliert”, “salbeigrün meliert”. Alle bestellt und alle behalten :-). Zu den sonstigen Farben kann ich nichts sagen, da sie nicht so zu meiner Farbpalette gehören. Auf jeden Fall kann ich für die Jacken eine klare Empfehlung aussprechen.Mit dem in einer anderen Rezension erwähnten Pilling habe ich bisher noch keine negativen Erfahrungen gemacht. Bisher schlagen sich die Jacken diesbzgl. tapfer durch den Alltag.
