I joined a lot of other fabbers in buying the BR ribbed merino sweater that Angie recommended, and thought I’d add my review.

I ordered the ivory and the dark brown. Both colors are good, the brown especially—it’s the color of a Hershey bar, and a color that’s been missing from my sweater collection. I was surprised and a little dismayed by how thin they are, thinking they wouldn’t keep me warm enough. Once I wore one I found it was plenty warm with a cami underneath.

The ribbing pattern is very attractive, and my normal M fit my long torso and broad shoulders just fine. In fact, it has a little extra fabric beneath the arms and down the torso, but it doesn’t affect the look of the sweater. It’s not too long either. I can wear it easily tucked or not. It has a deep welt, which I like.

My only disappointment was the ivory sweater. It’s totally transparent, and needs a cami. I wear one most of the time in winter, but I like having the option not to. So, a deal breaker for me, and I will return that one. The shade of ivory ran a little too warm for my coloring.

I’m looking forward to checking out the other available colors when I do an in-store return.

All in all, a really nice sweater and a great buy at 50% off.
