Let me start by saying this cardigan is a STEAL for the price. I've been wearing mine for weeks now, and it's become my go-to for those 'in-between' temperatures where you need just a little extra warmth.

The cotton fabric is surprisingly soft right out of the package - no scratchy wool here! I love that it's 100% cotton because (like one reviewer mentioned) it means I'm not wearing plastic. The lightweight material makes it perfect for spring/fall or chilly summer evenings.

Now about sizing - pay attention here! I'm 5'9" and 160lbs, and the Medium fits me perfectly with just enough room to layer over a t-shirt or thin sweater. But if you prefer a looser fit (especially if you want to wear thicker layers underneath), definitely size up. The sleeves are nicely proportioned - not too tight when rolling them up.

The V-neck sits just right - not too deep, not too high. And those front buttons? They stay closed when you want them to, which sounds basic but isn't always true with cheaper cardigans!

My only minor complaint? The pockets are more decorative than functional. Sure, they'll hold your glasses case, but try putting your hands in them and they'll stretch out awkwardly. I mostly use mine to hook my thumbs in casually.

After several washes (cold water, lay flat to dry), the color hasn't faded and there's no pilling yet. For $20? This might be Amazon's best-kept secret in men's basics.
