All-Season Crew Neck

This is my 2nd All season sweater and I love it! The fit is super comfortable with sleeves that are long enough for my long arms. The sleeves are so awesome that they stay put when I move around! I got the undyed color and it is the perfect neutral to match absolutely EVERY THING!!!

I have worn my sweater with jeans, with leggings, out hiking canyons, and out to dinner. I can't wait to wear it with shorts!!
The best part, though, is how Oliver Charles let's me feel good about the quality, sourcing, and making of this sweater. I'm striving for a more sustainable closet and a wardrobe I can travel with. The only warm layer I brought on a recent trip is this sweater and it took me to all the places to do all the things !

The all season sweater is more than all season, it's all purpose!

Great fit, wearing with brown jeans, blue jeans are good, too. It’s a good neutral (undyed) color. I’m challenging myself to wearing my OC sweaters every day for 100 days. Started March 16. Three days with all seasons and 22 days wearing summer sweater. I’m a big fan of the Oliver Charles ethic—sustainability, classic style and no waste.

When I love a piece of clothing I really LOVE it and wish I could clone it. Alas, I was really hoping I would receive my all-season sweater BEFORE my trip to an artist residency, but regardless the sweater did great post-trip in my everyday life. I expected to get more sick of the sweater, but the color was versatile in my existing wardrobe and the weight was perfect. I do think anyone would benefit from having this in their core wardrobe especially if you travel and need something very adaptable.

I love this all season sweater! I decided to take the 7 day challenge to get closer to a capsule, more minimal, wardrobe. I really want to travel as lightly as possible and be able to pack and go on a moments notice. And at the same time, I want to reduce my impact on mama earth. I admit the sizing had me concerned and kept me from ordering for a few weeks! And what color to choose?? Black is my go to. But the light grey is so beautiful. I went with the grey but was really worried about eating and spilling on myself, lol! I went with the medium and it was a nice fit; closer fitting than I would normally go with but a nice fit for sure. Being closer fitting made this sweater really useful with things both under and over it. I felt like my normal casual self but elevated. I did have a huge self realization that I am most comfortable and confident in my oversized tops, though.

After wearing my all season sweater for the 7 days, I can easily see wearing it to travel and packing WAY less. It is so easy to wear with all the things in all the settings in all the climates! And I'll be wearing it outside of travel too--it just goes with everything. I'm so excited to have less stuff, less clutter, and to not think so much about what to wear every day. I can grab this sweater, any bottoms, and go! Being aware of wearing the sweater on repeat made me slow down so as not to spill on it; that was a huge unexpected benefit! Slow down and enjoy, appreciate, experience! And not washing the sweater very often is going to save me so much time and the earth so much impact!

If you are looking for a key piece to mix with anything else you wear, if you want a single sweater to build your wardrobe around, if you want a quality piece made from quality materials, if you want to live more sustainably, if you want to lighten your load, if you want to simplify, this is the sweater for you! Any of the Oliver Charles sweaters will fit the bill! Be kind to yourself and mama earth and try a sweater!

I had no preconceived notions about what to expect with my sweater. The week-long challenge was easy to complete because I fell in love with so many qualities of the sweater. I loved that is was so lightweight. The size S was just right and fitted me closely without ever feeling restrictive. In fact, compared to other winter tops that I have worn that have been a combination of polyester or wool and lycra or spandex, the knitting in the sweater gave me the bits of stretch when and where I needed. it. It was almost like wearing nothing at all, except that its softness constantly reminded me of how comfy I was. (By choice, my under layer was always a short-sleeved lightweight merino t-shirt so I could enjoy the fuzzy experience on my arms.) The all season warmth was just right for inside the house and for under a winter jacket outside in a late Montana winter/spring transition. I intend to make this one of my go-to outfits.

I think originally I was a little skeptical that the material wouldn’t smell after the seven days. I am thoroughly impressed by that factor. I typically have body odor, especially when I’m sweaty or hot and I have to say the sweater held up extremely well and there was no stink even when I put my nose directly in the armpit area after seven days (gross yes I know, but I wanted to know!).

I was very positively surprised by the cuffs. I tend to roll up my sleeves frequently and even when I did several times, the cuffs went right back into place and were nice and snug. I didn’t expect that. I fully expected them to stretch out as all my other long sleeve sweaters/shirts do, so I was very happily surprised there! I didn’t have any expectations, but I was happily surprised that it kept my nice and toasty warm in the cook NY weather with only a sweater. Originally from California, I tend to run cold so this was a very welcome surprise not to have to bundle up like a crazy person. The other thing that I love is that the sweater fit my torso. My torso is on the longer side (I am 5’5 and my husband is 5’9, but while sitting down I am “taller” than him) so this was a welcome surprise and I didn’t feel like I had to continually pull down my sweater.

I will definitely recommend to all our school friends. We attend a Waldorf school, so most of our classes are outside. This is a perfect addition to a Waldorf wardrobe with its natural fibers and neutral colors. If you had kids sizes you would for sure sell out just from our NY Waldorf school alone! Waldorf parents spend thousands of dollars on natural, warm sustainable clothing and I would be happy to recommend your brand!

I love my all-season yak sweater! It's super soft, comfortable, breathable, & warm. The 3-D knitting means no seams in the way, & the slightly unusual knit (purl) pattern makes it unique. I'm used to wearing wool sweaters every day, so that part wasn't a surprise, but this is by far the nicest one I have, & is now my go-to sweater. I love the "emerald blue" color, which is really a base color for me, & pairs perfectly with all kinds of soft, ocean blues & greens as well as jeans & neutrals. I'm inspired to pare down my closet full of thrift-shop wool sweaters that aren't quite right in favor of this one!

I am very happy that I got the All Season yak wool sweater. Living in Hawaii I feared it might be too hot for it some days, but I rarely had to take it off. I live at a semi high elevation with wide temperature variations here and across this island. This sweater adapts nicely. When I first put the sweater on it fit really well and felt great. It seemed a bit long as I am a short just over 5ft. But the sweater seemed to adjust nicely and I've been happy with the way it feels and looks. Even after being worn the seven days of the challenge and quite a few days before I could start the challenge, it does not seem to look dirty or weary from wear, nor is there body odor. That's a big plus! Less wash, and a great candidate for travel. I was a bit fearful of spilling food on it or getting muddy when gardening, but have not experienced any stains, so don't know how it handles them...probably well.

Wearing this sweater daily thru the 7 day challenge, and before, has helped me realize I can truly do with, and be happy with fewer clothes. In going through my existing wardrobe I was able to pull together core colors I love, and use a few accessories like scarves to create a variety of outfits.

I recommend acquiring the All Season Yak Sweater to anyone who cares about the environment and wants to make a positive difference by consuming less, building a core minimal wardrobe of long lasting quality clothes...starting with this sweater! You'll have less to wash, and can wash less often. A plus for water conservation and water health, since yak wool does not have the toxicity of synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon etc.

I have other wool sweaters but much heavier and sometime they are too warm indoors - I like the weight of this one, comfortable inside but quite warm even if I step out without a coat in 30-degree weather. I was a bit concerned about timing the challenge so people wouldn’t see me in the same item of clothing several days in a row, but in the ens I found I stopped caring about that almost right away. I think I can rotate a few high-quality sweaters all winter; I am working on a smaller wardrobe wearing each item frequently.

I wasn't sure how a piece of knitwear would hold up for 7+ days, mainly at the sides and back where the piece tends to get touched the most. There was ZERO pilling of the sweater and it is completely odor-free!
