That looks great. I've been wearing mine a lot as well.

Bit of an unusual question here. Is it possible to shrink a turtleneck's collar in a targeted way? I got one of the Chamula turtlenecks last week in an XL, and while it fits appropriately elsewhere, the neck is really large - it looks more like a cowl neck than a turtleneck. Comparing it to the recent lookbook and the product photos on the mannequin, I'm guessing this isn't the intended look, nor is it one I particularly care for. I like the sweater otherwise, so I'm wondering if anyone has had success tightening up a turtleneck collar. A cursory Google search reveals that some suggest wetting down only the neck and then either throwing the sweater in the dryer on high or using a hot blow dryer, but I'm suspect.

Edit: attached a photo. Upon looking at it, calling it a cowl neck is definitely an exaggeration. Still, I’d prefer it to fit more snugly, so my previous question stands.

I ended up selling mine for this reason. Lovely sweater otherwise.

I returned mine for that reason and then bought two non-turtleneck Chamulas for myself and one as a gift. Fantastic products, but I found the size of the turtleneck portion itself to be overwhelming.

I don't necessarily mind the height, but in combination with the width of the neck, it is a bit engulfing.

I think it's actually more comfortable when it's loose (or when it loosens) but if that's not your thing, you should probably pass. I don't really think that you'll be able to shrink only that part

Have you asked your tailor if they can do anything? I know most tailors do some work on knitwear. It's a longshot given the nature of the task but it doesn't hurt to ask your tailor.

I haven't - I moved recently and don't have a regular tailor I trust in the area - but I'm just going to follow Greg's advice above and pass it along. Good idea, though.

I ended up returning the Chamula....The neck was simply too big for my round pudgy face.
