      Thanks, you two!

      I do remember reading that the recommendation was to size up on these, so the XL would fall into that category.  I don't know if I could go so far as to layer under the XL…maybe a light flannel or denim shirt, but it's definitely roomier.

      I just want to make sure that it looks like I'm wearing the XL instead of the XL wearing me, know what I mean? 😃  If y'all don't think that the XL looks too big, I'll stick with it.

      Blanket-line all the things!!!

        Imho, if you aren’t going to layer under the XL, then the L is your best fit.

          I think large looks too tight across the chest. [emoji2368]

            I absolutely LOVE laying a hoodie under these, so the XL has my vote.

              I can see it is a little trim there, but I think the XL looks too big without something under it.

                That would be my vote too. The XL with layers.

                  Thanks, everyone!

                  Now, I want to try layering with the XL!  Too bad it's over 90F outside LOL

                    Looking for advice on this North Sea Clothing Brig 2 cardigan. The quality is great and I think I like it but am not sure about the ribbed waist and how tight the neck is. Used to cardigans that when open have a straight gap down the middle if that makes sense, whereas here the neck is tight and waist loose. It is a function of the design and perhaps a good thing?

                      I think it looks good. I never button all the buttons of Cardis or Vests tho.. I usually leave the top and bottom buttons undone - that might alleviate your issue!

                        Neck looks fine.  Sleeves look a bit long.  The bunching around the waist looks sloppy when buttoned.  Looks pretty good when unbuttoned.

                          I like the cutaway effect of the opening and the general fit. The sloppiness is part of the look for me. Cardigans are supposed to be relaxed. I would be very happy if it were me.

                            @Nkwkfld looks cool AF. I agree with neph, love the vibes and think it really fits your style. Can’t find the word for it… not sprezzatura but nonchalant? Really dig it.

                                Agreed [mention]DrPat [/mention] about sleeves and waist when buttoned.

                                I appreciate everyone’s comments and am trying to find something with a kind of easy messy look but this is not the one. Can’t say it immediately works like some recent IH purchases so this has now been sent back

                                  @Nkwkfld I think it's a cool look.  That said, if you're looking for a shawl and this one didn't quite pass muster, have you seen the Dehen 1920 shawls?  I think they look great!

                                          @Nkwkfld I have a varsity jacket that looks awesome unbuttoned and a tad goofy when done up.  Sometimes the nature of the beast… 😃

                                            I think the sizing is good, but the lines of the cardigan look to fall better when it's unbuttoned. If it were mine, I'd wear it unbuttoned as an outer layer for slightly cooler weather, and wear it buttoned up as a base layer under a topcoat or heavier jacket for colder weather.

                                            Wants List:

                                            IHSW-45 Black, M
                                            IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
                                            IH-777S-SB size 32
                                            IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32
