I just got my Proper knit cardigan today, shown here:

And I'm seriously blown away by the quality on this thing. Especially considering that it's a sub-200 knit. It's knit kind of loosely though, the label on the inside states that this was done to allow it to be worn in a variety of climates from warm to cool.

The knits are nice. Short and cropped, fit large in the chest but taper so they aren't oversized. The only problem I have is the large neck opening since I don't normally wear shirts under my sweaters.

Would you suggest sizing down on the "Great Sweat" as well?

Should I go with an XS if I am a S?

For reference I am an XS JCrew, S Gitman Vintage, M Band of Outsiders. I tried on some small Our Legacy button-downs and definitely agree they are roomier than Gitman.

I'd really like a Great Sweat but I want to know what to order as it will most likely be international.

Thanks

I wear a medium Gitman and a medium OL Great Sweat. Fits true to regular, IMO.

+1 for tts. Get the same size as you wear other OL shirts, or BoO -1. Slightly more relaxed than Gitman in the same size imo.
