"Beautifully crafted sweater!"
My son was impressed as soon as we presented him with the gift box. He was wowed by the sweater! The styling of pattern and colors is exceptional, right down to the buttons! This is a quality sweater that you wont find from retail outlets. We are most satisfied with the purchase.

"Lovely sweater but runs small"
My husband loved the pattern and the feel and quality but it was too small. Good deal for our grandson but I had to order an extra large to replace the one I bought for my husband for Christmas.For comparison purposes, he wears a 42 regular suit and usually buys large shirts.

"Beautiful"
I never wear these colors but thought Id branch out. The sweater is lovely. I rarely buy clothes, but over the past decade, Ive bought 5 sweaters by Fernando Cano, each new one more beautiful than the last.
