I’ve been eyeing COS knitwear for a while—we don’t have a store anywhere near, and the only piece I’ve owned has been from a trip to Amsterdam many years ago.

This item is the sculpted sleeve merino jumper, and I’ve attempted in a series of awkward photos to show what the sculpted sleeve actually looks like! The sleeve fits under my coats, but is a bit of a squeeze in the ones with the tightest arms. The knit is heavy, unscratchy merino, and while the color is listed as gray I’d put it more in the taupe/cream family. One surprise is that the neck is higher on me than the model, but overall I find it TTS—I’m generally between a S or M, and this is the S.

I haven’t been a huge fan of puffed or balloon sleeves on me, but this sleeve is interesting and architectural. I’m hoping it won’t date.

I’d love to see other Fabbers’ COS items pictured on non-models! I find their architectural designs so cool but sometimes don’t know how it will fit in with my own wardrobe. Please post any items you have on this thread!
