All-Season V-Neck

I like the feel, the warmth and the color (dark grey?). Kept we warm in 50 deg weather. I also like that it is supposed to last so I don't have to have 20 sweaters. It also controls odor. I sweated in it and could still wear it the next day. I will be purchasing another this fall. As soon as the summer ones are v-neck I will be buying one or two of those also.

This Oliver Charles sweater was cloud soft right out of the adorable canvas bag. Never itchy and, remarkably, never stinky after wearing for a week! Temperature varies from about 20° to 80° over the week and I was warm when I needed to be warm and not hot while walking when it was hot out. I’d definitely buy another of these all season sweaters for me and for my daughter for our upcoming Arctic trip!

I wanted to see if I could wear something 7 days in a row - I did get a little tired of it after a few days and wouldn't have wanted to outfit repeatr if I had to work daily in an office. However, for travel it is great because you can change up your look with scarves, jewelry, vests, jackets, etc. and get a new look each day.

I also am interested in creating a capsule wardrobe for travel. This sweater will be a great addition to my packing list.

I was skeptical that this sweater wouldn't hold odors. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it did not stink, even though I did get warm and sweat in it some days.

I would recommend OC sweaters to anyone looking to streamline their travel wardrobe, especially for a cooler climate.

I got mine in medium so I could layer it. I love how I can have a little bit of color showing with my undershirt. It's so soft! I know good wool when I see it, and my family appreciates quality materials. This sweater is wonderful.

I ordered the sweater according to the size chart, but when I first put it on, it was TIGHT! If that happens to you, DON’T WORRY because it loosened up after only wearing it for a few hours! It fits perfectly now, and even after the challenge, it’s still my everyday go-to sweater!

Something you should know about me is that I get hot very easily, and I immediately have to take off my coat when I come in from outside. With other sweaters, I get too hot, take off my sweater until I’m too cold, put the sweater back on until I’m too hot, and repeat. With my all season sweater, I’ve noticed that my body adjust much more easily, and I mostly leave the sweater on all day.

I travel a lot with only a backpack, and this is definitely going to be my travel sweater!

When I started the 7-day challenge I was definitely skeptical. Most sweaters are too hot and heavy. They hold in too much heat and don’t breathe very well. I’ve been living mostly in cotton and tech fabrics because they breathe so well. This sweater has changed my mind. It’s a great layer, it breathes well, and yet it provides insulation when you need it. I look forward to putting it on every morning as I make coffee and prep for the day. This is definitely going to be part of my daily uniform.

My wardrobe was in sad shape and in the process of clearing out things that were stained, had holes or excessive wear, or just didn’t fit, I came across theviviennefiles.com. I liked her recommendations for how to build a capsule wardrobe from scratch and followed one of her links to your site. I liked the color, material, and look of the sweater and decided to give it a try. I have been very pleased with how it works for me and how comfortable I am while wearing it. I am not constantly fiddling with it or adjusting it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality item for their wardrobe that will last a long time.

My understanding of natural fibers had me confident that the sweater would perform as advertised as long as it was the quality promised. My concern was - especially since I was traveling with a limited wardrobe to pair with the sweater that I would just get bored wearing the same top every single day. This did not need to be a concern at all. I layered it with different colored tanks and tshirts and wore it with a variety of scarves. The sweater itself was fabulous to wear even in some of the temperature swings I experienced traveling. It was never too warm and kept me warm enough in weather ranging from 25 to near 70 degrees. I managed to keep it clean and only noticed a small amount of pilling, not visible to anyone but me. I simply draped it over the back of a chair - inside out, to let it air out overnight. No odor what so ever. It held its shape beautifully, with no sagging or bagging - something else I would have worried about with a hair/wool garment. This is a sweater that can be worn from the board room to the woods. Anyone traveling or living with limited space is a great candidate for this. This challenge has made me mindful of number of clothing items in my closet and what you actually need. I brought 2 "backup tops" in a packing cube on my recent tripe. 2 100% Merino tops and a long sleeved tshirt. They never saw daylight. The OC sweater is as good and better than advertised. Beautiful, soft and seamless.

I find the sweater an all around go to sweater for any occasion. Love that it does not require dry cleaning, does not pill and isn't itchy. It holds its shape and always feels comfortable. It is plenty warm and does not require extra layers to keep warm. It’s a very nice all around sweater and can be dressed up or down very easily. No issues whatsoever.

I was impressed with how well it wore after 7 days straight. There was minimal pilling, whereas my hand knits would’ve seen a lot of wear. The yarn is so fine and delicate and yet hardy! When the temps got cold it was phenomenal how such a light layer could keep me so warm! I will definitely be recommending it to my friends up in Wisconsin! I wish I’d had this sweater while living up north, because it would’ve made my life so much more comfortable! When I go for a visit it will be so nice to be able to pack one tiny sweater instead of a handful of big bulky knits!
