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 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.

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.

On-Demand Knitting:
All of our knitwear is made on-demand in Brooklyn, New York. We're passionate about being part of the solution to reduce waste, which is why we make our products on-demand. This means that your sweater doesn't sit around for months before it reaches you - we start working on it as soon as you place your order!
Since we're creating each piece just for you, it may take a bit longer to receive your order than with traditional fashion brands. On average, it takes 3-6 days to knit your sweater after you place your order, and then shipping can take 2-5 days. But we promise it will be worth the wait! Our slow fashion approach means you're getting a high-quality product that's good for the planet too.
Oliver Charles sweaters can last a lifetime, which matters because by wearing our clothes for even 9 months longer, our individual carbon footprint can be reduced by 30%, equivalent to removing half a million cars off the road per person per year.
If your sweater becomes damaged from holes or snagged threads, send it back and we'll restore it to the best of our abilities.
Our return and exchange policy lasts 30 days. To be eligible for a return, your item must be undamaged and in the same condition that you received it. Exchanges are subject to availability.

Our sweaters are a timeless design meant to last in your closet. If your Oliver Charles sweater becomes damaged from holes, snagged threads, or pilling at any time, send it back and we'll restore it to the best of our abilities.
If you feel your sweater needs a repair, please fill out the form below. Please note that you must be the original purchaser of the product with a valid proof of purchase (order number).
When you decide your sweater has reached the end of its life - whether that’s in 10 years’ time or 100 years - please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We'll make sure to find it another home or make sure it is naturally returned to the earth. As each sweater is biodegradable, although designed to last a lifetime.
One of the most important factors that affects the way wool feels is the fiber fineness. Thinner diameter fiber is softer. While a human hair has a average diameter of 75 microns (µm), the merino and yak wool (AKA "khullu") we use in our sweaters is ultra-fine at 17.5µm.
Wools that are generally considered "soft" have a fineness <20µm. Although, at the end of the day, you know best, so try new materials at different levels of fineness and decide what you like wearing most. If you find a wool sweater you love but find slightly itchy, note that fine wools, like merino and khullu, get softer with washing.
Wicking is an important benefit of wool, because in order to regulate body temperature, humans can sweat several liters a day. All this sweat can get pretty smelly right? In fact, sweat only becomes odor if it isn't wicked away. Wool has a number of unique moisture management properties that allow it to resist body odor making it ideal for #repeat wear and simplifying your life.
1) Saturation regain: wool can absorb and retain up to 35% of its own weight in moisture and still feel dry to the touch, which reduces sweat buildup and discourages bacterial growth.
2) Isolation of bacteria: after sweat is absorbed from the skin's surface it travels outwards where it evaporates. In the process, wool actively binds and isolates bacteria within it's fiber. The isolation of bacteria reduces odor to the point where unwashed wool has 66% less odor intensity than plastic-based fibers and 28% less than cotton fabrics (Woolmark).
Fun fact: bacteria thrive in humid environments, where sweat is trapped instead of being wicked away. For example, while a 1x1cm area on a human forearm contains around 100 bacteria, an identical square in the armpit contains on average 10 million bacteria (Popular Science).
We make our sweaters from yak down, which is the hair they shed naturally in the spring, all the herders do to collect it is simply brush the animals. Merino sheep on the other hand are unable to shed their coat so it is sheared.
Our sweaters are made in Brooklyn, New York by Tailored Industry. We work with them to create our sweaters through a new manufacturing process called WHOLEGARMENT® 3D-knitting.
We chose Tailored Industry vs. other WHOLEGARMENT® manufacturers in part because of their brand vision. They want to become a platform for on-demand knitwear. We're hoping we can grow together, create all kinds of custom sizes, and eventually remove the need for inventory completely.
Pilling is the natural process that occurs when the shorter natural wool fibers work their way to the surface of a sweater.
Pilling is normal and expected with any wool piece of clothing, but fear not because there is a tried and true method to manage pilling.
The first thing you should do is wash your sweater after the first 4 wears. Throw your sweater in the wash with a pair of jeans, just make sure to close the zippers.
Over time, shorter fibers causing pilling will pull away on their own.
Yes! Simply machine wash your sweater with the rest of your clothes. Lay it flat to dry.

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 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 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 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!
