PSA: $59 Cashmere sweaters at Martin+Osa

Here's the fit on mine (small). I think i'm going to take one of them back, but i need to decide on which color. Any ideas? The lighting is really bad for the green one so its not quite that dark in person.

What is your ht/wt and chest, if you don't mind? I think I should have sized down.

From what I can tell the green is more flattering to your skin tone, but navy blue is a lot more versatile.

Personally I think they both look and fit great on you.

If there's anyone that bought a size M and that now don't want to keep... it let me know!

Fit looks fine, although I don't like how the arms look kind of baggy and then suddenly narrow down to a tight elongated shape around the wrist. The arms don't have be super tight, but if they were a hair narrower it would look better.

Why are nearly all American mall brand sweaters designed like this? It is pretty obvious that the average American male has a strong aversion towards clothing that fits even remotely close to the body, so O+A and others take this into account. But most European mall brands will have tight arms-- e.g. Diesel and G-Star knits.
