I pre-ordered this cardigan when it first was previewed. When I received it, it easily became my favorite clothing item. I used to wear it out all the time and got a lot of confused looks, "Is that... coffee? And a beetle?" to which I would respond, "Tea :D". I now wear it almost exclusively at home since it is too hot where I live now to wear it out. But this is my comfort cardigan. When I am ready to get work done and keep my low-circulation body warm, this cardigan is perfect. It has stretched out a bit since purchasing, but not in an undesirable way. It is becoming well loved, and dare I say softer as time goes on. I beg that CR makes another cardigan like this in a new design. Same manufacturer and same materials. I want desperately to own another so that I can trade them off!
