Detail
Wilson Sweater is a simple sweater with an open polo collar. It is worked from the top down using 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout.
You start working back and forth for the collar and front split before continuing in the round down to the underarms. Here, sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is completed. Afterwards, the sleeves are worked in the round from the top down. The sweater has a raglan construction and folded edges finish the body and sleeves.

Customer Reviews
Sha*******nka
Put this on before my sister’s baby shower and suddenly felt like the calm, capable aunt I always pretend to be The weight is perfect—not too heavy for indoor AC, not too light for outdoor photos The color flatters every undertone, the back yoke gives subtle structure, and it survived being sat on, stuffed in a diaper bag, and hand-washed in a hotel sink with zero drama Shipped with a QR code linking to styling tips—and yes, I scanned it
Jail******** Sr.
Solid sweater—cozy, clean lines, great for coffee shop freelancing The arms are slightly longer than expected (I’m 5’10” and had to roll once), and the chest area has a subtle boxy drape that took two wears to break in But the merino blend feels amazing against skin, it didn’t pill after my bike commute, and the customer service team sent a free fabric shaver when I mentioned lint It’s growing on me like a favorite playlist

My therapist said I should 'embrace comfort as self-care'—so I bought this and cried a little when I put it on First day wearing it, my student asked if I’d joined a cult (the good kind, with excellent knitwear) It layers like a dream over turtlenecks, fits true to size, and the stitching stayed flawless through three subway rides and one impromptu karaoke session Packaging was minimalist and joyful, and the return label was already printed just in case
Nikk********* DVM
Wore this to my first post-pandemic BBQ and instantly became the 'sweater guy' everyone wanted to borrow for photos The texture catches light in the best way, the waistband doesn’t ride up when I sit on picnic blankets, and the collar holds its shape even after I tossed it in the dryer *once* (oops—but it bounced back) Shipped faster than my Amazon Prime trial expired and the packing slip had a doodle of a smiling sweater
Ms. *********lwitz
Fell in love at first touch—the yarn is luxuriously dense but moves with me whether I’m reaching for cereal or presenting quarterly metrics The charcoal gray looks expensive, the side seams align perfectly, and it survived my chaotic laundry day (yes, I accidentally washed it with jeans—still zero pilling) Only deducted one star because I wish it came in a petite length option Love the eco-friendly mailer and the tiny lavender sachet inside
Prof.***********ermott
This sweater solved my 'I need to look polished but also survive back-to-back parent-teacher conferences' dilemma It drapes beautifully over my blazer, doesn’t wrinkle in my tote bag, and somehow makes my coffee spill look intentional The shipping box had zero plastic, the tracking was absurdly accurate, and the care label actually matches reality (yes, cold wash + lay flat = zero shrinkage) I hugged it when it arrived. No regrets
Ms. C**********eefe
Wore this to my daughter’s school talent show—stood in a drafty gym for 90 minutes and stayed toasty while still looking like a human who remembers fashion exists The fit is relaxed but intentional, the wool-blend doesn’t itch like my old college hoodie, and the tag is flat-stitched so no neck rebellion happened Customer service replied to my sizing question in under 12 minutes and even sent a handwritten note with my order Yes, really
Miss **********in MD
Perfect layer for my 6am dog walks—warm but not sweaty, stylish enough that neighbors ask where I got it The sleeves are *just* long enough (no more wrist peeking), and the hem stays tucked when I bend down to pick up… well, you know The only hiccup? My cat tried to claim it as her personal nap pod the second I hung it up Still giving 4 stars because she’s now my unofficial quality tester
Mad*******efe
Threw this on during a surprise power outage at my home office—no joke, it saved me from both hypothermia and looking unprofessional on my next client call The ribbed cuffs stay put, the neckline doesn’t gape when I lean forward to sketch, and the fabric breathes enough that I didn’t overheat while troubleshooting my router It shipped fast, packed neatly in recyclable paper, and made me whisper 'thank you' to the internet
Megg********Jr.
Wore this Wilson Sweater to my cousin's backyard wedding in Austin and got three compliments before the vows started The knit is buttery soft, hugs my shoulders just right without screaming 'I bought this for Zoom calls', and the color didn’t fade after hand-washing twice Shipping arrived two days early with zero packaging drama I felt cozy, confident, and weirdly emotional about how much joy a sweater can hold
