Hey guys, how does the v neck sweater? Would it be too big if I size up?
I have it in the brown shetland wool, fits really nice and boxy. Going up a size it will probably be quite oversized and long in the sleeves. It could work but the only thing is it is kind of thick and structured so I’m not sure how well it would sit. I took XL which is my normal size and it fits perfect.

Keep in mind there were two vnecks this (past) season and they’re different fits
there was the Shetland which was at a lot of stores, and then the “tweed” which was in a soft pink or brown/grey.
I only remember seeing the tweed at Neighbour and the Lemaire shop.
I wish i bought the tweed when XLs were available.

I have the tweed v-neck in pink, and it fits TTS--close-ish in the body with a longer/loose sleeve. But with the dropped shoulder and slouchy sleeve you might be able to get away with sizing up. Would likely look pretty oversized, tho, I'm guessing? (The knit is lovely: sturdy and warm.)

It's more substantial than the Lemaire lambswool sweaters, I'd say. (I don't have any of those from this season, but I have couple from last year.) Not outrageously or uncomfortably so--but definitely warm and with a sturdy hand. A fall/winter kind of sweater, for sure.

the waist is large, but you’re supposed to cinch the waist. You *could* size down, and if you’re between sizes then you probably should size down.

Thanks! SSENSE is sold out of my size, but they have a smaller pair on sale, so I’m debating taking the chance.

They're overpriced for the quality. I purchased them and then had to returned them because the pull tab tore the leather that it was attached to when I was putting them on...it looked rather poorly constructed, since the pull tab was glued to the leather and wasn't reinforced very well. Maybe that wouldn't bother you, but I also don't think the leather quality is exceptional. Rather disappointed. That being said, the styling is on point and they look great on foot!

Oh my, thanks for this review, maybe that's why they're still on sale on a lot of online stores. But indeed the styling is good.
