I bought this for my mother, and it is even more beautiful in person, thanks to the incredibly soft baby alpaca. Red is slightly rusty, just a little and it is more ivory on the pattern than white. My mother is 5 9 a size 10, the large fits her exactly.

I love this sweater. It works well with jeans, with dress slacks, or with a skirt. The colors incorporated in the sweater provide many options for pairing with a variety of colors. Its warm, lightweight, and very comfortable. I ordered a large because that was recommended on the size chart. I wear a size 12 or Medium in blouses and sweaters, and when the Large came, it fit, but a little too close to the body for my taste. I returned the Large and ordered an extraLarge, which fits the way I prefer to wear my sweaters. The exchange was quick and easy.

What can I say? After all the positive reviews of this alpaca-wool blend coat, I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for the package to arrive. I was not disappointed. From the cashmere-like texture to the silken lining and almost bespoke stitching, I was totally enchanted by this coat. The caramel color tends ever so slightly brown (as opposed to yellowish). The satiny lining adds such a touch of elegance, yet I think you could wear this to a sports event or an evening at your towns theater and feel equally at home. As I bring myself to grips with my mature shape (round - thats a shape, right?) I thought the cut and length were very flattering. (Im 52, 145#) The shoulders might be a bit narrow if you carry your weight in your upper body. THANK YOU, Tomas Sota, for this lovely garment. Ill be looking for more additions to my wardrobe.
