Much nicer in person -- the chunky knit reads more gray with black accents than "blue" as described here. there are lovely flecks of rust, blue, goldenrod, green throughout. super soft, stretchy; it's fine sizing down...otherwise the arm holes dip down very low. i'm usually a size 4/small and xs was best for me (33" bust, long torso, broad shoulders). i can see wearing another layer underneath when cold weather sets in.
