This is a light-weight top that can be worn indoors or out. The soft alpaca feels great to wear. I am 6 ft tall and around 165 lbs. I initially ordered a large which was much too big. I exchanged for a medium which fits fine. I should mention I had no trouble with the exchange process. I was provided with a pre-paid label and sent the sweater back to a US address. I received the new replacement in no time from Peru.

A little background: the most cherished garment here is a 100% alpaca sweater that has been seen intensive use over years and been washed numerous times and is still in great condition.So I ordered this hoody hoping it would be of the same quality, and it seems to be.But beyond function, the form of this hoody evokes the land from which it originates. The horizontal gradations of earth colors bring to mind the open ranges that start in the lowlands and reach into the mountains where the alpaca roam in their natural habitat. (Ive never been there, so that impression is just based on videos.)Its pretty neat that I get to wear this stunning and original design.

I am so pleased. Its absolutely beautiful. Light weight, warm and soft. Love the weave; almost like a lovely lace. I am 5, 10, normally wear a medium but decided on a large for sleeve length. Soo happy I did. It fits beautifully, long in sleeves and a nice relaxed fit and length overall. Absolutely amazing purchase. I hope to wear it for many years to come.
