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.

I am a spinner, weaver and knitter and am very familiar with alpaca fiber. This sweater is a gorgeous piece - meticulously well-made and I know it will last a lifetime. It is worth more than the asking price. And as baby alpaca fiber (before the first shearing), it has a loft and softness that feels wonderful next to my skin. I am pleased with my purchase.

The alpaca cardigan is beautiful. It is very exquisite and versatile; can serve as a wrap over casual clothing but can also add the perfect topper for evening wearing. The quality of the workmanship is excellent. I am very happy with this purchase and would like the artisan who created it to know how pleased I am.
