"Very comfortable and beautiful quality"

I love the cardigan and the color combination. I first got the jumper and also loved it, so I also got the cardigan. Perfect also for colder summer nights.

"Perfection in a Sweater"

Vibrant color, light weight, yet warm. While Ill likely wet it mostly during the cooler months, I imagine that it could easily be worn in late spring and early autumn as well.

"One of my favorite sweaters"

This cardigan is truly fabulous and you can wear it in many ways. Depending on how you wear it, the sweater can be more western cowgirl or Indigenous in its look. I love it with a knit black dress or a long black skirt and top. Add some western boots for greater fun. I loved this one so much that I just ordered the shorter off-white and black trim version. Thank you Wilbur for a great piece of wearable art.
