5.0 out of 5 stars. my wife loves itVerified Buyer Reviewed by dimako from Upstate, NY on Saturday, January 10, 2015Got it for my wife as a present, she usually wears small, but this sweater is perfect on her in medium.
So, seems this runs small -
4.0 out of 5 stars. nice but thin open weaveReviewed by Anonymous from ky on Tuesday, September 3, 2013All their products are nice& this one has quality values as well. I normally get a SM size, but after reading reviews I got a MD. Glad I did as the open style weaving would have made it too see through with a smaller size.

3.0 out of 5 stars. Different colors have different fitReviewed by Vera from CA on Wednesday, March 13, 2013I purchased 2 of these sweaters--one in black and one in brume. The odd thing is the two look and fit completely different even though I ordered the same size! The cable knit on the black sweater is tight and the sweater fits nicely, while the knit on the brume is very loose, to the point of being see through. The brume sweater also has no shape. Needless to say, the brume sweater is going back. I would give 5 stars for the black and 1 star for the brume. The overall three stars is for the inconsistency in the product.

4.0 out of 5 stars. LovelyVerified Buyer Reviewed by Emily from Midwest on Wednesday, October 24, 2012I really like these sweaters. The variety in color and style make them versatile. I am glad to see the periwinkle and sea foam colors being sold for winter and not just in summer! The cashmere is wonderfully soft and feels great against the skin. The "ply" of the cashmere is thinner than the older Johnstons sweaters I have, so the weight is not as substantial. That said, I paid more for the heavier weight.
Bottom line: Quality over Quantity: I will pay a bit more for the Scottish cashmere rather than for the very cheap and itchy Chinese cashmere flooding the market today!- Best Uses: Cold Weather, Layering, Warm Weather
- Cons: Older Sweaters Thicker
- Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational
- Pros: Attention to detail, Comfortable, Lightweight
- Was this a gift?: No

4.0 out of 5 stars. Warm & attractiveVerified Buyer Reviewed by Winter fan from Middleton, WI on Tuesday, October 9, 2012It will be warm in the winter, especially under a blazer or vest. I had to return it once snce the size was quite unexpectedly small.
- Best Uses: Cold Weather, Layering
- Cons: Not true to size, Poor Fit, Wanted 4 Ply Yarn
- Describe Yourself: Gym Rat
- Fit: Feels too small
- Pros: Beautiful color, Comfortable, Stylish, Warm

5.0 out of 5 stars. Soft yarn and soft colorVerified Buyer Reviewed by lorraine934 from Marion, MA on Wednesday, April 25, 2012This sweater is perfect for a hint of coolness or excess A/C. It is high quality, but not dense cashmere. The light color (I got frost or ice or something) looks good for spring without looking too heavy.

- Fit: Feels true to size

2.0 out of 5 stars. Alas, I'm returning it.Verified Buyer Reviewed by Birkin from Sea Girt, NJ on Tuesday, March 27, 2012I'm so disappointed. The Johnston's things are so beautiful, and I've always been pleased in the past. Loved the color and softness, but I don't want a sweater that one can see through. Also the sleeves were too short for me.
- Best Uses: Layering
- Cons: Could see through it, Sleeves too short
- Describe Yourself: Gym Rat
- Fit: Feels true to size
- Pros: Cashmere soft as a cloud, Comfortable, Warm
- Was this a gift?: No
