Nice sweater
Size: Medium, Color: Sky Blue
This brand is well-made. Nice long sleeves, not too long and long enough for a 6 foot person.

Good feel and fits well
Size: Medium, Color: Pure Black
It was heavier than I thought but in a good way. It doesn't feel like cheap, lightweight material. I have a problem with the length of sweaters and I have run this through the wash a couple times already and it still is long enough.
