I bought this sweater as a gift because I liked the graphic, but I was so pleasantly surprised by its quality and fit that I plan on buying several for myself. Great weight, nice elasticity, very good overall.
I ordered the men’s fox pullover because of its beautiful pattern and colours. I thought my husband would enjoy it as a Christmas gift. Sadly, when he removed it from the Oxknit plastic bag we discovered that the shoulder seams showed the wrong colours, colours inconsistent with the design. The shoulder seams made the fox pullover look sloppy and poorly made. I am hoping for an identical replacement, as offered by Oxknit, but have not received an update from the company. I think poor quality control is probably the cause. I am reluctant to order anything else from Oxknit because of this experience.
Thanks for your review.
As we mentioned in our email, the difference you noticed is due to the jacquard knitting technique. Jacquard patterns are created by interweaving multiple colored yarns, so it is normal for the underlying yarn layers to be faintly visible through small openings in the top layer. This is a natural characteristic of the technique rather than a quality defect.
That said, we completely understand that this may look different from what you expected, and we sincerely apologize for the disappointment and any confusion this may have caused.
OK, usually these purchases can be kind of a lottery of quality, but the sweater is really gorgeous. And it’s extremely comfortable and well-made as well. It’s not itchy at all.
