You might have seen my review for the black one! Got this one and mistakenly got the M instead of L because it's the default size Amazon recommended and I forgot to change it. That's on me, but I still love it and recommend the buy! If you want precise info on sizing and all, keep reading. I took a star out because the material, although cotton, is lighter than the previous one I got and I prefer the heavier weight, personally. The quality is still there tho!!
Fit : It is not a big difference, it fits well, but I prefer a bit of a more oversized fit. It is still loose thought, and M is the size I wear in my country (women's M, UK12, US/CA8, EU40, I'm 158cm/5'2", 128ish lbs/58kg). Length-wise, like the black, it doesn't fit me like on the model, it is a bit shorter. I wears over my butt if I stand but when I lift my arms it no longer covers it. Of course, since it is a size smaller than the previous one I got, it is not as ample looking, but the sleeves aren't tight, they still balloon out a bit. The cuffs are tighter so they stay in place well and the hips also stay in place. For wearing buttoned up, this is perfect actually.
The material and colour : It does seem like cotton, same as with the black one. The knit is still the same as the one I got like 5 years ago. However, it is lighter in weight and that is why I took a star off. The color is a beautiful emerald green, true to its name! All in all, for the price, I believe the product is well worth it. It washes well (in cold water, hang to dry!). The black I've had for 5 years has never lost its colour. I have not experienced bleeding with the green either, so I assume the colour will last. I'll update if ever it doesn't.
Additional fit info for those seeking to buy : If you want the same oversized look as on the model, get 1-2 sizes larger. If you are taller, it might not cover your behind, but I still think it looks good! Espesh if you pair it with high waisted pants or skirts. If you will wear it buttoned up and want it to sit at your hip or waist and puff out, get your regular size, if you size up, cuffs and hem will also be larger and it won't achieve that style. I think for a more professional look this is better and for a more casual look, size up.
For people with a stronger or masculine build: I had my husband try them on, he is a men's L size in most western clothing (43 inches/109cm chest, 173cm height (5'8"), 80kg/178lbs) and the M was expectedly much too tight, but the L I have fit him as an adjusted cardigan. Unlike many cardi's marketed for men, this one wasn't tight in his arms! It fit him quite well actually. He isn't a lean man as he cooks divinely well, so many men's clothing fit too narrow in the gut area. Cardigans don't always button well on him, but this one did and he said it was comfortable. So I'd say if you are a broader shape, a man or shopping for a person with that kind of shape and want an oversized look like the model, I'd go 3 sizes up. If you just want something that will fit adjusted, get either the same size or one size up depending on where the weight/broadness sits.
