Barbour Zip-Front Wool Cardigan Sweater - Cable Knit (For Women)

Looks and feels like an expensive sweater. Excellent quality and workmanship.

Alas, the sleeves were too short and I had to send it back.

Lovely sweater but odd fit: long sleeves, rather long body (not bad) but tight through the body. Would be better on a more straightly built body, but as I said, very attractive, just my problem with fit.

This is the one I was asking Barbour to re-make, with the pockets in front and the high neck. Sadly, I can't order in my size. They only have size 14 left for those of us in the US. So, for a fortunate few, this sweater is available to order. The only difference (it would appear) between this sweater and my original sweater (found when in London, at the Grosvenor Square Barbour shop, some years ago) is that it is made in Bulgaria, not Scotland. But, judging from the previous sweater I ordered from Sierra, (same style but without the pockets and the high neck), the wool has remained soft and smooth without puckering or deteriorating with cleaning. So, their new manufacturer appears to be doing a good job. This is a "must have" sweater for anyone, especially a traveler or adventurer.

This is a lovely sweater. I ordered a larger size as that was the only one available. I adjusted it and am very happy. Length (sleeve and body) is average. Probably not for those with long arms and torso.
