Comments about Men's Irish Donegal Tweed Sweater:

I have to agree with the sentiments of one of your other reviewers. I LOVE this sweater! I should tell you that I am a female, a mother of two sons, and I bought three of these sweaters, one for each of us. I have quite a collection of sweaters from National Geographic. I love wool sweaters that look, or are, handmade. The yarn here is substantial, the colors are gorgeous, peat moss brown, tan, charcoal, and heather grey, all with natural flecks of color throughout. The wool is soft Merino wool, the sweater, made in Ireland. I did not find it to be itchy at all. I wouldn't be able to wear it if it were. There is no reason for a woman not to buy this sweater, you can't find women's sweaters like this. My sons love it too! As for the "burlap smell" my sweaters had that too, but it completely disappeared after washing. If you are going to hand wash, do it carefully, in cold water, no agitation. Mine had no shrinkage. Honestly, beautiful sweater, makes me yearn for spring!

I wear this sweater instead of a coat in cold weather. Very warm, and I like how it looks; unique.

I was initially attracted by the superb design: blocks of earthy colours complementing each other with simple elegance. For two days I returned to your catalogue,sending the image to family and friends and asking what they thought. The response was unanimous.This is a sweater from heaven. Beyond unconsidered ecstasy ,I took the precaution of checking measurements. The result is a perfect fit,and a real sense of well-being in wearing it.As for its uses ,I would take it to bed if not discouraged. Reviewer Number *1 must have an unfortunate experience with burlap. To me it smells as fresh as clean air. Perfection

I use this heavyweight sweater around home on weekends when doing chores. Sweater is too rustic for office wear. Two issues: 1) Sweater smells a bit like burlap; and, 2) Sweater pills very badly. On the other hand, this item looks and feels 'like the real thing' - handmade Irish country sweater.
