This is the first long sweater that I've owned and I'm glad I took the plunge. I wear it with skinny black cords and also ripped boot cut jeans and it looks great with both. It is knit from such soft merino wool (not itchy at all) and is very warm and comfortable on the skin. Very quality construction. It does have a "regular" fit. I am used to clothing more fitted to the body so I took a chance and washed mine in my front load machine on the hand wash cycle, laid it flat to dry most of the way and then put it in the dryer for about 15 minutes on low...hoping to shrink it a bit for a more fitted fit. It worked and I like the fit better and the knit looks as good as it did new even after a short time in the dryer. (which was lucky because it isn't cheap!) For reference I got an XS...I'm 5'4, about 105 lbs with a slim athletic build.
