Anyone have real-life commentary and/or pics on this?

I agree it’s very heavy however it’s not excessively warm considering its weight. I’ve still been wearing mine lately. Of course it’s only 54F here in Seattle right now.

Agree. Heavy but it doesn't have to be 30 outside to wear it. I was also pleasantly surprised by the color. The red is not as bright as that photo.

Anyone have the brown version?

I picked up a couple shirts a few weeks ago when the sale started along with an indigo V neck T. It reminded me of my oil military black Ts once they got faded and broken in. Obviously, it is much better fitting and better materials but it looks like it was worn in the NM sun for 6 months. I later got smarter and bought the brown Ts as they wore much cooler.

Anyway, I went back to buy another and they were all sold out. Eyeing that cardigan but being that it is heavy and I own a heavy hand knitted RRL sweater from 2012 that I hardly use anymore due to where I live, it will probably make sense to pass.

Yes. Same comments as the red. Slightly different blend of linen and cotton. The red actually has a bit of wool but mostly linen cotton. I also have a brown marl and a black one that are mostly wool.
