66° North Kaldi Sweater Jacket - Wool (For Women)

The fabric was a dessapointment.50% wool and 50% polyamide. It looked like and felt like boiled wool.Not a good quality in my opinion. I returned it.

This is my second Kaldi jacket. I purchased the first one in black about four years ago directly from 66° North on a moving close out sale. That jacket has been fantastic. It is made out of 75% wool, 25% polyester. The new jacket I just bought in red (a lovely blood red color I might add) is made out of only 55% wool, 40% polyester, and 5% polyamide (whatever that is). Both were made in Latvia. I'm disappointed that the newer version is made with less wool (it's noticeably less warm) and it's also a bit thinner material. Nevertheless, the design is classic and I will enjoy wearing it. Sizing runs smaller than normal (I bought an XL and I usually wear a M or L (size 12) in blouses/jackets) and the sleeves will likely seem a bit long unless you have long arms like Icelandic women! Sometimes I turn a small cuff back at the wrist and it works fine.

This wool sweater/jacket is great quality and roomy enough to put a base layer underneath. Without that, I'm sure this would be too itchy. But it's stylish enough that even with base, it fits and looks good.

This is a very attractive looking sweater. The brown color is more of a camel color but nice. The fabric was very stiff but I threw it in the dryer and it softened up a bit. I imagine washing will make it better. I usually wear a medium but after reading the reviews, I ordered the X-large. It was a little big but I feel it will shrink a little after washing.

great feel for wool, soft.
