I will be wearing it everyday

I always wear black so the charcoal color is good. Also I asked for xx large for no binding anywhere. Before I washed this summer crew it was slightly scratchy but after washing Nice and Soft! I would be able to work/play in this sweater as well as dress it up. I do layer my tops depending on temperature ..so big works for me. That this sweater is made with a much smaller carbon footprint than a cotton sweater and that the harvest is sustainable resonates with me. I would recommend it to a friend.. and I will be wearing it everyday .. so I will keep track of how well it works.

One nice sweater that's lightweight, packable, druable

I love that I participated in the Oliver Charles Summer Sweater challenge because I normally never would have brought something that I can wear to work out in the elements. As a teacher, I think the idea of clothes that can function for double duty - nice enough to wear to school and durable enough to go rock-climbing in - is a big part of my steps towards creating a more sustainable wardrobe. I travel frequently and being able to bring one sweater that's lightweight, packable, and I now know can stand up to a variety of activities is exactly what drew me to Oliver Charles in the first place. I'm recommending this sweater to everyone I know because we all need to step away from fast-fashion practices and think more impactfully about how we interact with our environment.

Soft on the skin

I received my large cloud colored sweater, and it fits great! I am a tall female (5'11"), so I appreciate the arm length and the body length in general, without being baggy in the mid section. I think it looks great, and I love the seamless style. The material is also soft on the skin.

Sun coverage that didn’t cause me to overheat

Before taking the Oliver Charles Summer Sweater Challenge I struggled with having adequate sun coverage for my skin that didn’t cause me to overheat! I had no experience with 3d knit sweaters, or what the texture might be with the Sea-Cell (seaweed and organic cotton) fiber. When I opened the package containing my sweater I adored the lush and very light texture, and how smoothly the seamless construction felt on my skin. After the challenge I am truly in love with this sweater and it’s almost magical properties of temperature regulation, comfort, skin coverage, and style. I am pairing this sweater with so many different items in my wardrobe as I always want to be wearing it. I used to try to have different “looks” each day at work (using many of my thrifted or consignment garments) and am now happily refining my wardrobe and my life by focusing on key pieces that are versatile and comfortable and made with quality and sustainability in mind. I would recommend this sweater to anyone - no matter if your focus is sustainability, style, comfort, or versatility, this sweater covers all of those goals. It makes me happy! And I think anyone else who wears this sweater will be happy too. So many thanks to Oliver Charles. You have made me a fan for life!

It's an investment in a company I want to stand behind

Fast fashion wasn't even on my radar until last year. Once you know something, you can't unknow it. Seeing mountains of discarded clothes and learning about microplastics made me think about my own choices. I am an artist and I think a LOT about how technology is changing the playing field. I was blown away when I saw an Oliver Charles video of their 3-D knitting machine. I thought to myself, "Now that is a great example of how to use tech wisely." It made me curious. Minimal waste, no inventory required and Oliver Charles researched earth-friendly materials. They knit the sweaters in the US. I appreciate value, but even more than that, I appreciate VALUES. It's an investment in a company I want to stand behind. The sweater is everything they advertise it to be. It is soft, seamless and huggable (according to my friends). It makes me think more about other choices I can make to stop adding to the mess. Definitely a good purchase!

I’m excited to try a yak sweater next!

This was a first for me - taking a challenge and posting my adventures with THE summer sweater. I wondered if it would feel scratchy if un-layered. It didn’t. I thought it might be to hot in our CA summer or not warm enough for a/c indoors. Both unfounded concerns. One of the unexpected perks was that people responded well to the color on me, always a good feeling! That Poppy!! I tend not to wear and wash so the idea of reusing worked well and especially because I never detected body odor lingering. Today I washed Poppy for the first time in 8 adventures and she looks beautiful! There is a bit of pilling under the arms and on the tummy area and while I remover getting written advice about that I can’t find the paper. I will ask. Overall this sweater made of algae cut in Iceland and mixed with eucalyptus pulp is a complete joy! I’m excited to try a yak sweater next!

A true year round sweater

Over the years I have systematically jettisoned my bulky wool sweaters since I found them so uncomfortable and scratchy. But, having found Oliver Charles's Summer Sweater I feel I have a true year round sweater that's comfortable and stylish with the added bonus of being good for the environment and tech forward.

I want a minimal wardrobe

I love the fit and it will be a perfect addition to my long sleeve tops all year round. It can be layered over with both shirts and sweaters. The feel of this summer weight sweater is soft with no itch at all which is saying a lot as my skin gets irritated easily.
The gray is a perfect neutral color that will go with everything. It is not too warm nor too cool in value and this is coming from an artist. I'll be wearing this with jeans, shorts, leggings, and skirts. It will be a great addition for traveling and not take up much space but fill multiple needs. Oliver Charles is my dream company as we share the same values. I want a minimal wardrobe and by being a customer, the impact to fast fashion will be reduced by one. The quality and craftsmanship of these sweaters (I now own three) makes them a garment that will last for years and this is critical with anything I buy. Your customer service is awesome too! Thank you Slater and Jack for following your vision, creating this company, and standing behind your products!

Lovely tight weave, made very well

I almost never leave reviews, but this summer sweater fit so well I just had to write one. First, it's classy, with a linen-like feel (at least to me), perfect for summer. The sleeves are long enough to not ride up, and the forearms are snug at first, but do loosen up. I like them because my arms are long, and I end up pushing up the sleeves of many sweaters because they are not long enough. It's a lovely tight weave, made very well. I am quite impressed. Plus, I love the beach-glass blue color for summer.
