Love the dress and vest

Love the swing of the seaweed dress under my yak wool vest. Never thought I'd say that!

Size Ordered: S | Typical Size: M | Fit: Perfect

Perfect neutral layer for summer AC and outdoor chills

The heathered brown is a neutral taupe color that is a perfect compliment to summer clothing. The knit holds its body and easily springs back after pushing up the sleeves. Perfect for use in air conditioning or as a layer for the unexpected chill of summer breezes outdoors.

Perfect weight sweater that pairs beautifully with everything

I received my beautiful robin-egg blue sweater 3 days ago, and I have worn it twice. It is the perfect weight for a cloudy spring day walk or for cozying up to read on my couch. Yesterday I wore it with jeans and my Oliver Charles socks, and today it pairs elegantly with cream slacks. The comfort, the classic style, and the eco-friendly material of my sweater assures that it will be a centerpiece of my all upcoming travel.

Medium too tight, large is the ideal fit

I’m slim and fit, 32 inch waist. The medium was too tight even though the length was ok. The large is an ideal fit.

Perfect sweater for unpredictable weather and upcoming Alaska trip

I was looking for fashionable and functional clothing to wear on an upcoming trip to Alaska. This sweater is PERFECT. I am wearing it with both shorts and jeans, (because a Minnesota spring doesn’t know if it wants to be 43 degrees or 73 degrees) and this sweater is comfortable with both. So, I know it will be my go-to sweater in AK and beyond.

Fits perfectly and gets softer every time I wear it

I've been looking at OC sweaters for about a year, and finally decided to try a cardigan, mostly because they had the most forgiving measurements and I wasn't sure if any of the sweaters would fit me. I've been gradually trying to convert most of my wardrobe to merino wool and keep fewer items that will last me longer. I was also curious how yak would compare to 100% merino.

I really liked the emerald blue color and settled on the emerald blue all-season cardigan. It fit perfectly! Each time I wore the sweater, it got softer and seemed to fit me better, and I love the cozy feeling of it. It did pill quite a bit the first couple of days, but I was able to shave the pilling off and it hasn't done that since. I liked that I was able to pair it with pink, white, gray, navy, aqua, and black and the sweater looked good with all of them.

I wore it on adventures ranging from light saber fights with a three year old Spider-man to going to the dentist to hanging from the ceiling at my citizen's fire academy class, and found it comfortable each time. I wish the button holes were a tiny bit smaller so I wouldn't have to keep re-buttoning it, but other than that, I know it will be a go-to sweater for three seasons of the year. I love having a sweater that I can wear to work, at home, on weekends, and keep in the car for traveling. In fact, mid way through the challenge I ordered a summer crew neck! The measurements are a bit smaller and I am hoping desperately that it will fit.

If so, I'm hoping to complete a seven day challenge with that one. If it goes well, I will likely order a winter quarter zip next fall in a neutral color. Please consider offering size 3X, because I think your sweaters measure a bit on the small side, and I would love to recommend this to some of my friends but I know they would not be able to find a fit, and I am a big proponent of size inclusivity in clothing. In general, I'd recommend one of these sweaters to anyone who is looking to either form a capsule wardrobe or simplify their closet. This was a really fun experience and I hope to be able to do it again (maybe as a field tester? hint hint). Thanks so much!

All-Season Boat Neck

Light yet cozy sweater handles everything from snow to yoga

This beautiful boat-neck all weather sweater is impressively versatile - light yet cozy. It keeps me perfectly comfortable in chilly 30s during outdoor activities like shoveling snow to mild 60s on walks, at yoga, or around the house. The natural undyed color is a refined neutral, subtle but not at all dull, and the fabric feels wonderfully soft against the skin.

Still in awe of how soft the All-Season Swing Dress is

Wow! I'm still in awe of how soft the All-Season Swing Dress really is. And the Emerald Blue color worked incredibly well with items I already owned so I was able to begin building a capsule wardrobe.

The feel is heavenly

The body fit is PERFECT, comfortably on the snug side. Sleeves are a little short for my preference, but not a dealbreaker at all. The feel is heavenly. Color, natural wool, classic. I wear with T-shirt under, and flannel or other layer over (if needed). The brand precisely fits my own philosophy. Fewer, high-quality, long lasting items of clothing. I have an all season crew from a couple of years ago that when I first got it, I think I wore it every day for about a year. Absolutely stunning. Perfect. I still wear that one — it is a little thinner in its texture than the waffle so serves a bit of different purpose. Both pieces can literally go from the trail to the bar with ease. And I think I like this one even better. Also, neither one of them get stinky.

Exceeded my expectations

My all-season oversized crew exceeded my expectations. I was looking for something to replace the heavy cotton sweatshirt I commandeered from my husband. The sweatshirt was cozy and oversized and I wore it around the house nearly every day. Your oversized crew is just the ticket. I've worn it every day since its arrival. It is much softer than I expected. The fit just skims the body the way I hoped it would — slightly boxy. I can wear it solo (not itchy at all!) or with a T-shirt or collared shirt underneath. I can wear it lounging around the house or dress it up with a scarf and jewelry and head out for the day. I wore it under my puffer jacket for a quick walk around the neighborhood this afternoon -- 16 degrees here! -- and stayed comfortably warm. I am really looking forward to taking it on a weeklong trip later this month. I think it will be the perfect travel sweater.

The biggest surprise is how wearing something made without seams feels against my skin. I am not overly sensitive to textures against my skin (I didn't think I was, anyway -- I wear merino bras and underwear with no problem) but wearing this seamless garment makes my skin RELAX, which makes the rest of my body relax. Who knew??!!

I have not had to wash the sweater yet but I am happy that it is machine-washable.

Tthe sweater is very versatile

I love this sweater! The fit is perfect, it's incredibly soft, and I'm over the moon with the color. And, while this may sound a little odd, I really like the uniformity of the result of using a 3-D printer. It looks like a pattern of sorts. And the sweater is very versatile. I can wear it over a T-shirt with jeans, with dressier pants and a collared shirt, under a sport coat... so many ways to wear it.Thanks, Oliver Charles!

It has become my favorite sweater in just 3 days

I adore the cables and other knit patterns in this sweater. It is a beautiful deep Indigo blue, soft and comfy. It has become my favorite sweater in just 3 days. I wear it with jeans, hiking pants, and gray wool dress pants. This sweater goes everywhere!

Makes getting dressed for the work day quick and easy

This All-Season 1/4 Zip is a Great "Go To" . . It makes getting dressed for the work day a quick and easy. No need for fumbling with buttons, or extra layers. I love the generous sleeve length as I have longish arms, the mid body though, I wouldn't mind having that a bit more snug and a little shorter. ( I am after all, 5'2" :) On the whole I really Love this sweater. The color is Fabulous; the marled/heathered yarns are the Best; and the fabric is superb. . Such Good Quality. I would recommend this All-season 1/4 Zip to any and everyone who wants a cozy comfortable base layer sweater.

I thought it would be boxy, but it wasn’t!

I was really surprised how flattering the fit was for my sweater. Out of the package I thought it would be boxy, but it wasn’t! I chose natural color to be versatile for travel and it’s a good neutral color. When selecting colors, I did wish there were a bit more selection. Especially on the lighter color end. It’s soft, very comfortable and high quality construction. I’ve worn it by itself, with a base turtleneck to ski, and dressed it up with a scarf for dinner. I’m probably going to invest in a second one, it’s such a great base piece for the wardrobe. So far I’m impressed with this small company, its quality product, and the made to order business model, saving on unnecessary warehousing footprint. Also love the fun marketing challenges and engagement with customers. It’s not just a “buy and forget” company. Kudos to your marketing creativity!

I was hoping to have a very warm sweater that was soft

I was hoping to have a very warm sweater that was soft and able to wear over repeated days without washing. A few thoughts. It's a beautifully made no seam sweater and I enjoyed wearing it very much! As I'm a petite, it was a bit big for me, especially around the armholes and the length. It tended to have an extra crease around my arms that I didn't prefer and I felt like always tugging it down/smooth for photo's. Arm length was also a bit too long, so I turned the sleeves up once. I enjoy well tailored clothing and there's no way to change it. Despite this, I will hopefully enjoy the sweater for many years or longer! It's SUPER warm and even though I'm now in Pennsylvania, it could have easily been worn outside in N Wisconsin on many days. I rarely wore a coat with it, unless the wind was blowing. It never smelled in the evenings, and hanging it out overnight somehow it aired itself to be ready for wearing the next day! Color is gorgeous and perfect for me. Overall, I'm very grateful to add it to my collection.

I was ready to love this sweater and it did not disappoint

I was ready to love this sweater and it did not disappoint. It’s soft and light but still very warm, and seems to go with everything. I was surprised to learn how easy it is to wear the same thing for a week (switching up the base layer). I’m learning to simplify my clothing and other parts of my life; the quality of this sweater makes that easier.

Working to remove plastic from my wardrobe

I was initially drawn to Oliver Charles sweaters for a couple of reasons. To start, I am working to remove plastic from my wardrobe. I am also downsizing my wardrobe with the intention of prioritizing well-made, texturally interesting pieces in neutral colors. My all-season waffle knit meets all of those requirements! I was really surprised by how well it held its shape after 30 days of constant wear. I washed it before wearing (and it air dried really quickly, which was great), and I haven’t needed to wash it since. In terms of sizing, I looked at so many reviews and poured over the size chart because no one else seemed to wear these sweaters in the way I was looking to wear one: roomy and comfy! I am 5’7” and 130 lbs. I went with a L, which is a size bigger than I usually get, and I am glad that I did. Even though today was day 31, I wore my sweater, and I will probably continue to do so. I didn’t think that I was experiencing decision fatigue before with my wardrobe (I don’t have many clothes to begin with), but wearing the same thing every day has been a relief for me. This past month has had a lot of temperature fluctuation where I live, and by switching up which layers I wore underneath, I’ve been able to comfortably wear this sweater across a huge range of temperatures. I would recommend this sweater to anyone who wants to simplify and look good while doing so!

Moving toward a more sustainable wardrobe

I did the challenge for my second yak wool sweater. I had been wanting to reduce my overall clothing consumption and move toward a more sustainable wardrobe, and I needed a kick in the butt to break my pattern of wanting to wear something different every day. I was very skeptical of whether it would stay smelling fresh, but it took until after day 20– more than I would ever normally wear a sweater continuously— for my kid to tell me I was starting to get smelly, and that was after sticking her nose in my armpit for a strong sniff! I used some homemade fabric refresher (alcohol + water + essential oils for scent) and the next day it was like new again. I was surprised how much of a relief it was to have something to wear that looked good, felt good, and kept me comfortable across my entire day and activities. Other sweaters can hit one or two of those marks, maybe, but my OC sweater is a hit all around.

Softer and warmer than my other wool sweaters

This sweater definitely exceeded my expectations! I wear wool often and wear them until they are so threadbare they can't be mended. But this sweater was softer and warmer than my other wool sweaters of similar weight, even the merino ones! I find it frustrating when a brand new piece is badly pilled after just a few wears, but my Oliver Charles sweater has very little pulling after 30 days of wearing it everywhere, no signs that it will wear it any time soon, and no seams to come apart! I was almost never too hot, either, even when inside. This is the perfect sweater for anyone wanting comfortable, high quality, durable, sustainable clothing choices! I can't wait for my next piece!

The sweater looks very nice for work

I immediately put on my summer crew neck when it arrived and I am wearing to to the office today. I noticed walking in to the office in the 58 degree weather that I felt comfortable- not cool or hot, just comfortable. The sweater looks very nice for work. I intend to wear it on a trip to Milan in March, so I’m looking forward to seeing how warm it keeps me as the weather gets cooler and what layers are needed to keep me warm.

Surprised how comfortable I felt every time I wore it

I was skeptical about wearing a sweater in warm weather. While I don’t think I could wear the seacell in mid to late hot summer weather, it was good for 60’s and possibly low 70’s if not in full sun or high humidity. It will be a good addition to my MN wardrobe because we have limited very hot weather. I loved that the sweater could be dressed up or down. I wore it for a variety of occasions and even bike rides. I was surprised how comfortable it felt every time I wore it. I wish there were more colors. OC sweaters will have a positive impact on my life because they inspire me to downsize my wardrobe and buy fewer plastic fibers in the future. Anyone who cares about our planet and wants to start a capsule wardrobe should buy OC sweaters.
