Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
this sweater is so poorly designed. there are too many buttons in the collar and they are very tiny. the neck is too small so you have to remove the collar to fit it over your head. then you have to button the collar back on and it takes about 15 min to button all the tiny buttons on, and it's not easy unless you're a contortionist. i bought it for work and i don't have that 15 min to waste in the morning when i'm in a hurry. it's just too inconvenient and too much of a hassle to put on and take off. i kept it because i didn't want to spend even more money just to return it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I loved it when I first put it on, then the bottom of it rolled up as I wore it, it needs a finish on the bottom or I guess you could tuck it in. They should tell you the collar is button on, the buttons are loose and the collar would not stay down.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I loved wearing this shirt, its too bad I only got to wear it once. It shrunk so bad that even my 11 year old daughter couldn't wear it :-(
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This top is really awesome. I use on those days when it is a bit too chilly out to wear just a shirt, but I don't want to cover up my arms all day. I like that it is cut slim too because I have a hard time finding mens shirts that fit me. This is a gem!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
the collar is rather tricky and bulky. hard to wash and maintain shape. love the colour

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Love the tangerine color, color is a bit complex to negotiate for arthritic fingers.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The detachable collar had to be detached in order to pull the sweater over my head. Not a big problem just irritating. I expected more from you. Color was just as the picture showed. I appreciated that.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I purchased the sweater for summer travel and teaching in the fall. The neck would not stretch, so I was unable to get it on my head and therefore returned the item.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very cute, but I had hard time putting it on.
I had to unhook the collar, and put collar back on again, and it was some trouble.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a really darling design, very classic and pulled together (think Audrey Hepburn). The fit is good, but as other reviews have mentioned the collar buttons on the neckline and does not stretch, so it must be open to fit the shirt over your head. This results in some fuss every time you wear the top, so if you're in a hurry it may not be the one to wear. Otherwise, the stylish look is enough to recommend it, especially at sale prices.

Purchased for business wear
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great color and style unfortunately I am in between sizes and have returned the sweater until I lose some weight.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love the color and the style, but the difficulty getting it on and off and the smaller-than-average fit were very disappointing..

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a great top, very flattering. I want to to get more in other colors.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
When I got this item out of my bag, I was so excited to try it on...then I couldn't get it over my head! The collar is detachable, a plus for washing, but you can't put the sweater on without taking the collar off!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sweather I chose and ordered was not what I received. The color was shown incorrectly online. I am not happy with the color and will return it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is nice, simple sweater for work. Would probably dress down well if I took the collar off, but I haven't tried that yet.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater is so cute! I have to agree, however, with previous reviews regarding the collar: the opening isn't large enough to fit over the head, so it must first be unbuttoned from the sweater. Either that or I've got an oversized head! Regardless, I love this sweater and will order in other colors.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a very cute sweater. The only draw back is I couldn't get my head through the sweater. I had to unbottom the faux color. Everything else fit just fine.. Love the color.

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
really cute, the pink is a great bright color, the collar buttons in and out. The only thing I did not like was the bottom kind of rolled up at the end of the day.

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very Satsified with this product
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
button came off the first time I tried it on, collar is a snap on, it is not sewn on, this seemed cheap, a sewn on collar would have given it a much higher rating and a better look.

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this sweater, I bought two colors. It's very cute. I get a lot of compliments on it and it looks great with long necklaces. The only thing I don't like is the collar, it's tight and a pain to get on and off. You have to unbutton several buttons to get it over your head, it's worth it though.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I found that you have to remove the detachable collar to get the sweater on and off.

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this sweater! It goes well with my multi print skirt, a black skirt, or dressed down with denim! I would love one of these sweaters in each color!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater is different than most other summer sweaters becasue it gives you a layered look. I wear it with long pearls similar to what the model has on. It's cool that the collar is removable, but the cuffs on the sleeve are not. I think it would look strange with the cuffs, but no collar.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Love it! Stretchy enough to not be clingy. Lays nicely and looks stylish and professional.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Just seems to small in the bust.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Don't waste your time. Looks NOTHING in person like on the model in the catalog.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very cute and comfortable and washes up nice. The color green it shows in catalog is much paler than what I received. What I got was almost florescent green.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I loved the look and feel of this sweater. However, the neck hole was too smile. I have to order a size larger which will now make the overall sweater to big.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very poor quality fabric. Button-on collar must be unbuttoned before it will even fit over your head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Product very poorly made. to thin very poor quality, looks very very cheap
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Would like to see a variety of other colors.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Good stylish sweater to dress up or down. Nice colors
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This item was not as pictured, the color green was almost flourenscent and the fit was so boxy and unflattering.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very cute, wish the collar was sewn in, wouldn't wear it without it anyway
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I loved the style, color but was to small to be considered a medium which is my usual size I would suggest purchasing a large if you wear a midium.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I did not like the way the white cuffed sleeves looked. They "stuck out" and didn't look right. I thought the sweater was a bit short in length as well. It looked longer on the models in the photos. I was looking forward to receiving this sweater and could have used it for both work and with casual clothes. I sent it back as it just didn't look too great on me and that was mostly because of the white cuffed sleeve area sticking out. It made me look like I had minituare wings!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really liked the look, but it was too much trouble to put on. The attached shirt collar was hard to adjust.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I ordered this sweaters in two colors, Papaya Juice and Navy. Since they are both for my use, I ordered them both in the same size. The Papaya Juice sweater fit perfectly, while the Navy version looked and felt a full size smaller. I laid one over the other, and--sure enough--they were two different sizes! I checked the labels and they were both labeled the same size. Go figure! They were a good price, so I won't complain too much, but I expect better quality control from Chadwick's.
The feel and color of the sweaters, however, is marvelous! They are just as cute in person as in the catalog photos. I am losing weight anyway, so I am keeping them both as they are.
I recommend this sweater; just try it on when it arrives!!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Cute sweater that can be worn on many occasions. It is very hard to get on, however...the collar needs to be removed to get it over the head. Then, the buttons are so small, it is hard to get the collar on again. But the look is great and many colors to add variety.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I like this shirt and have only worn it once to work since I bought it. The shirt itself is a little short on me. The collar really wasn't as big of a problem for me as it was to some of the other reviewers. I really like the color and got several compliments on the shirt in general.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I'm buying more in different colors. A very classic look that is great in the hot Phoenix weather.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I like the sweater, but I'm thinking it may not hold up real well because the sweater material is thin. We'll see. The other reviews were correct when they said your head won't fit through the detachable collar if buttoned. I just unbutton the two front buttons, put it on, then rebuttoned. Not a huge issue for me.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I got this sweater in 3 colors: black, posy, and blue-green. All colors were flattering. The black is especially stylish and can be worn with grey, white, black, and grey and white pants. Everyone compliments me when I wear these sweaters. It needs a slightly longer chain on any pendant worn with it. There is a slight challenge getting the sweater over the head - you have to unbutton the collar and then undo at least one of the buttons attaching the collar to the sweater, but this is not difficult. I have not tried it without the collar yet, because I like the look with the collar better. (The sleeve cuffs stay attached.) I looked at similar items with similar prices from other catalogs, but I must say the style on this one is more classic and reminds me of Sandra Dee and Audrey Hepburn outfits. I will find out after I wash the sweaters this week how they will tolerate that. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and plan to use the top to Country club activities with my sister, the Beach, and dinner with friends. I am thinking of getting a couple for my sister, if they remain available.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The image in the magazine looked FAR better than the actual product.

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great for work & dressing up jeans.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a poorly made product with a collar that buttons on and gaps and pulls where the buttons hold it to the sweater. It's thin material, poor grade of cotton for the collar and cuffs and it does not hold its shape. This is one of the poorest products I've ever bought from Chadwicks and I've gotten some real dogs.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This shirt looks cute on the model, in person it is too short. The neckline is too tight and the buttons holding in the colar are flimsy. It is a really cute color and I like the style, it just didn't fit well.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The collar buttons are placed in such a way that the collar will not stay in place.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I wear a true 14P in tops. While exactly the type of top I was looking for, I should have ordered up to allow more room for bust area. 14P seems to be a 12P.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really like this sweater, I already have in orange and green and now I got one in rasberry, this time I ordered one size bigger and looks much nicer.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really can't say much about this shirt, since I couldn't fit it OVER MY HEAD! Very strange. The opening (even when unbottoned) was literally only about 7 inches in circumference. My grandmother laughed at how little the neck was and said only a baby could fit it over their head. It seemed to run very small, even if I could have fit it over my head (and I have ALWAYS ordered smalls in the past).
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
very disappointed in this top. loved the color but size was completely off.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
the color is nice and it feels very nice too.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The only thing I don't like about this is that I had to take the collar almost all the way off to put the sweater on - I think it's a design flaw. But it's SUPER cute!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this sweater and always receive compliments when I wear it. I have removed the collar since it is a little tight but it looks just as cute without it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater is really cute on the model, but actually getting it over my average sized head was nearly impossible. You have to unbutton half of the collar attachment in order to pull over your head. When I got it on finally, the buttoned on collar sits very awkwardly on my neck. Cute, but it went back to Chadwick's.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a great buy. Perfect for those hot summer months. You have the stylish look of layering without the bulk. Looks professional with a skirt or dress pants for work.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The size turned out to be too small, even though I bought the size I usually do, so I gave it to my daughter and it looks great on her. I was not impressed with the collar-----too complicated.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I wear this to work on Fridays with jeans. It's great to dress up or down.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
sent it back before I ruined it. Neck was so tight I could not get it on. Had to remove the collar to put it on, and then reattach it. that was too much work for me!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The neck is so small that I have to unbutton two buttons to get my head thru and the first time I unbuttoned it, the one button fell off and the other is very loose
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The design is great, feels soft, and looks
great with a black outfit.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I liked the bright color ... I normally don't wear such bright clothing, but I liked this color.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I WOULD WEAR TO WORK OR OUT FOR A DAY OF FUN
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
wear it to work, nice bright colors
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Bought it in a petite size and it feels a bit boxy around the waist. It looks great with a more narrow cut pant but with wide or loose fit pants I look like a rectangle. Still, the fabric is great, the color is saturated and it looks very pulled together for occasions where usually a plain T Shirt would be worn. Love it, just have to make the cut work.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I like the sweater but the collar is difficult to attach. You can not put the sweater on with the collar attached so it has to be unattached and then reattached while it is on. And that is not easy.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love the look of it, and purchased two - the only downside is the neck area, is a little hard to put on and the buttons are hard, specially if you have a bit or arthritis
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this sweater. Looks great with casual pants and jeans.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Possibly for work but I found the material to be a little too clingy
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The collar was too tight, the sweater without the collar is ok. I probably would not buy it again
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The only thing I don't like about this sweater is the detachable collar. You have to unbutton the collar to get it over your head. Then button the collar back to the top of the sweater. It would be nice if it was just made on with a big enough hole for your head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Liked the look, but uncomfortable fit. Ended up returning the item.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a great looking sweater. The only negative is that the neck is too tight to splip over your head with the collar insert attached. You have to unbutton the first two buttons that hold the insert on the sweater to get it on. Then it is a little difficult to button back. Other than that it is great!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Just love the look and can wear it for work and weekends
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great Classic Sweater that can be worn anywhere at anytime. A sweater that will be stylish for a long time. Love it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I see getting a lot of use out of it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a cute sweater, but is not true to size. Buy a size smaller than you would normally wear, even for layering. It is soft and washes ok, but may need a cool iron.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I could not get the sweater on over my head!!! Too time-consuming to unbutton the collar, put the sweater on, and then rebutton once on (difficult to attach collar in back when unable to see buttons).
Nice looking sweater but a very poor design!!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very comfortable, very stylish. I wish there were more traditional colors available, though.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This shirt is entirely to short for anyone above 5'4" tall. It barely came to my waist. It should have an advertised length on it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The white collar is detachable from the sweater, but the white cuffs are not. There would be no way to keep the white cuffs really white. Overall it looks great in the catalog (i.e. from a distance), but up close it seems cheap. I know it would not look good after a wash or two, so I sent it back.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sweater looks great, until I put it on! It runs smaller than I had expected.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This ran sooooo small and due to the tightness, of course too short. Too bad, because the sherbert is really a great color
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I like the sweater, it fits a little short and as others have stated you cant fit your head through w/o unbuttoning the collar which is a little hassle.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I bought it in 5 colors - 'nuff said!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great with jeans
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
nice but could be better
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I had to return the product - quality, not what I expected. Too much money for what I received. Looked cheap, not as pictured in catalog.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater is so cute! I don't know that I'd classify this as a sweater because the material isn't that heavy and it's short sleeved. This probably won't keep you warm by itself in cold weather. My one complaint is the collar. It's a little tight around my neck. But, I'm also not used to wearing tight collared shirts, so it may not be so bad to other people.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Order a larger size than you normally wear.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I will wear this when our weather gets warmer here in NC.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater is too short!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Collar is way too small!!! I was so glad that it is detachable if not I wouldn't have got my head through such small space. Everything else about sweater is good.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sweater is beautiful. However, I had to return the first one only to order a bigger size. I was also unaware of how many buttons are around the collar area to hold the collar.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I so love this sweater. I originally ordered in navy. Came back now for the red. Very nice and sharp looking. Only thing, bottom curls up after washed, but can be ironed flat. So recommend it!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Okay listen ladies...this is a GREAT sweater and YES like everyone is saying the button collar is a little tight and a bit of a pain and I had to slightly unbutton it to get it on. BUT-----man, when it's on, it looks sooo awesome!! It really is a great sweater I just LOVE IT! It really does look so great - so stylish! So, yeah it a bit of a pain, but in my opnion, it's TOTALLY WORTH IT. I will just have it drycleaned to keep the collars stiff and nice. The price I am willing to pay for a great flattering sweater. Hey - Chadwick's maybe SEW in the collar next time? THAT would make it even better!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Looks cute. Too early to wear without a shirt under it, but that's how I like it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
You can wear it on casual nights out with jeans/capris or wear it with a pair of slacks, add jewelery, and you can wear it to work.
The only thing I found annoying is the neck hole is too small. You have to manipulate the collar to get the shirt on.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Not a great buy. Collar has to be removed to wash but the white cuffs on the sleeves don't!!! The collar is too tight to get over the head. Just not a comfortable idea. The sweater body part is a nice fabric and comfortable. I returned the sweater.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
A great looking shirt, once you get over the snap-on faux collar! Uncalled for, really...
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Much better than I imagined. Great fit and quality.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
All photos show the length of this top to be mid hip level. However it barely goes below my waist.
The button attachments for the collar are bumpy. I might not use the collar.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I don't know what's up with Chadwick's products, but their sizes run very inconsistently. Based on the size chart I should take a size M in this one, but it's a little snug. I like the color (lavender/purple) and it will be cute with a skirt this spring. You do need to unbutton the collar before attempting to pull the sweater over your head!

While this was a pretty sweater, I couldn't get it over my head to even try it on. It does have a removable collar, but that defeates the purpose!

I love all Chadwicks clothes. Over half of my warerobe is Chadwicks. Also great service.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Shape nicely to your body,warm but stylish enough to wear to work. Comfortable but not dress-down
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Beautiful look. Collar buttons off, but the buttons seem a bit loose.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I wanted to stylish and trendy in the sweater. The collar was a bit awkward, but the garment did not hold up well when washed.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great sweater. I like the look of two shirts, but prefer the comfort and thinness of one shirt. I have 2 of these - orange and purple. Both look great.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater is great...the only problem I have with it is that the waistband/bottom of the sweater doesn't wash up that great. Also, you do have to take the collar undone to get it over your head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really liked this sweater in the catalog, but when I got it home it was way too short.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I loved it! I think I'm going to order one in every color! I wore it one Sunday to church with a shirt and then one day during the week with blue jeans. It's a great shirt!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a truly classic, cute item - I want another one! =)
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really like this sweater...would even buy another color
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Love the shirt, and it looks great. Perfect for the office and it's really comfortable. The only problem is with the collar that's buttoned onto the shirt. The buttons are not attached securely AT ALL. One button popped off when I merely tried the shirt on. After only two wears I've already had to re-sew three buttons...
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Nice sweater,however the collar was not what i expected. Sweater looks better without collar.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very cute! I really love this look. The white sleeve part is a little tight around the arms and the collar part needs to be detached to pull sweater over your head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I just love this sweater!! I am getting more colors since I love it so well.... Very comfortable and stylish...
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
i really like this sweater. it is really cute for work. looks professional and stylish
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sweater is cute, but you must completely unbutton the faux collar to put the sweater on, then re-button it. The fit is a bit large in the waist and not as fitted as it appears on the model.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The style is great but I had the worst time getting it to fit over my head. Even taking the collar off - still had a bit of an issue. I had a girlfriend try the same shirt and she too had the same problem. Not sure why this happen as I have had no problems in the past with any other shirt.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great sweater with or without the collar!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I got this top for [$] after admiring it for a while. Its really really cute; super classic design. the neckline is a little high and I can tell its going to take some fanangling of the buttons which is a little bit of a nuisence but not that big a deal. My main complaint is that it is pretty short. The model in the pic makes it look pretty liberal length-wise but it is not like that at all. I haven't worn it yet but I have a feeling I will be constantly tugging it down. For the price I am going to keep it but if I had paid full price I might have second thoughts.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I got so many compliments at work that I bought 3 colors. Looks great with slacks & skirts and is very complimentary to most any basic style, including plaids and stripes.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Don't care for the collar- is detatchable & has to be at least partly detatched to get over head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Fits great and looks great
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very nice sweater. Perfect weight. Yes, you do need to unbutton the first two on the collar, but not that big of an inconvenience. I ordered a large. I am usually between a M & L. Fits perfect around the neck.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
To short, neck is uncomfortable, and did not wash well.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I was unable to fit this sweater over my head with the collar. The collar had to be removed before putting the sweater on.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
It really looks poor quality for that price. However, the model is very classic and practical. I hope the model will continue for fall and winter but in long sleeve or 3/4 sleeve.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sleeves are tight and I'm pretty thin.
The worst is the collar. It buttons with like 4 buttons all around so there are gaps where there aren't buttons.
In order for to get the collar to look right at all, you have to button the neck button which makes it extremely tight around the neck.
Also, after the second wash, one of the collar buttons fell off so now I can't wear it at all.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really like this shirt, however, the collar is an ABSOLUTE HEADACHE!!!
I would've preferred for the detachable collar to be sewn in so that is doesnt shift, the buttons popped off after 1 wear.
Long story short...nice shirt...just a lousy collar!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is just the cutest sweater. I love the collar and the sleeves. I want one in every color. The price was great too.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Nice blouse, but the orange color is not the one that appears on the web in less colorfull, the collar is not very confortable, it had to be adjusted a lot of times during the day.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I felt it was too small
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Really loved the way the sweater looked on the model, however the small was too large on me with a very loose fit. Can't remember if there was a petite small, but that is probably what I should have ordered size wise. Didn't realize the collar attached with all those buttons - a little aggravating.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The only complaint I have about the top is that you have to unbutton the collar to put it on and unbutton it to take it off. That part is a bit annoying but overall, looks nice.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I got a lot of compliments on this shirt. The only complaint I have is with the removable collar. The bottom part of the collar, that sits inside the shirt, is a little short. I found myself constantly adjusting the front of the collar.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Arms have no give to them, so if you have larger arms it's tight!

ASlthough I really like the sweater (will have to hold judgement on washability as it has only been washed once so far) I was disappointed to find it impossible to pull sweater on/off without unbottoning at least one of the collar attachments - very inconvenient. Overall it looks nice on and is comfortable, but this one flaw makes it a problem.

I will keep shopping from you....

I get compliments all day when I wear this sweater to work. It has a very classic look. Looks great with jeans or slacks. I will probably get another one in a different color.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
It's a great, classic style sweater.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I went to put in on for work and the button popped off on the collar. I have to sew the botton back on the collar or the collar comes off. I like the short sleeve sweater other than that problem.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
It's cute sweater I intended to wear casually and to work. The choice of colors were great. But, the sleeves were uncomfortably tight. After washing, the hem of the sweater lost it's shape and about half the buttons of the detachable collar detached themselves from the sweater.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater looks great with a pair of slacks, helps you pull together a "casual office" look.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
When I went to put it on it did not fit over my head. I had to take the collar off and then reattach the collar after I had gotten it on. This is very inconvient. The collar is also too close to the neck making it very uncomfortable.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I've worn this sweater to work and it felt very comfortable for an 8 hour work day. I can move easily in it. It's very lightweight as well.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
had to take the collar off to get the sweater on. I loved it in the catalog, but feel i need to order a larger size just to put it on.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Feels good, but the collar feels flimsy and the buttons aren't sewn well, but if you take it off its nice, though I did buy it for the over lay look.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I already have one in mango color, this one was green and they are very cute. It made looks you very chic.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
love the color
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Couldn't put it on without unbuttoning the collar.Once you got it on, you have to button it back up.Too much work.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Love the style - Definetely All American, However, the hole that your head needs to go through is way to small.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I recently purchased this product so I'm not sure of its durability but I really like the look, fit and feel of it. The material is light but not too thin or cheap, which is perfect for the hot Texas summers. The collar unbuttons and can come off, which I really like so that I don't get makeup on it as I take it off and on. The color is very pretty and I love the length of the sleeves - just long enough to hide the largest part of my upper arms. I also like the length of the sweater as I am on the tall side and need a little extra length. This will be a great sweater to wear to work with a pair of black pants (business casual).
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I liked the concept of this look. It has the sexy librian look that both men and women appriciate.
Be sure to remove the collar and cuffs before washing. Or better have it dry cleaned. The color will fade and the fabric (sweater) looses its shape after washing.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great preppy sweater, well made, true to size. The collar must be unbuttoned for you to slide the sweater over your head. Otherwise, it is a perfect business sweater or you can wear it casual with jeans. I liked it so much I bought it in another color.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater looks and feels great. The sleeves are a bit tight on my arm, but it still looks good.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is definitely a summer sweater; it's nice and light. I especially like that it doesn't add the least bit of bulk while being up to date and stylish. Additionally, it has good color saturation.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The neck to the sweater was too small and wouldn't even fit over my head! And I have a small head!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I am a teacher, so my intentions with regards to dress, are to be professional, classy and trendy all at the same time. This sweater works for all three.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love the look of this sweater. I tried it on and popped one of the buttons off the button-in collar because the neck hole is toooooo small. I am a petite person. I was disappointed.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
It is a great looking sweater, but not very easy to wear. The collar buttons are too loose, and you would alway have to unbuttom the collar inorder to get it over your head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a great sweater - I ordered it in the Navy and liked it so much I ordered a second one in the Mango. I usually wear 2P, but the Small fits well. The only thing that is less than ideal is the button collar mentioned in other reviews, but it's fine once you know you have to unbutton part of it from the sweater to put it on.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Stylish and casual. Great for summer sidewalk cafes, river cruises and resort dining.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Loved the fit and the color
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really like this sweater and I have received great compliments. It offers a classic look in a sweater.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a great sweater for work. It is just a little thin, see through, but fits well and I love the colors. You do have to unbutton and rebutton the neck yoke to get it on and off your head though.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
very tailored, classic styling and crisp with white pants.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Looks Nice
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The faux collar is buttoned to the sweater and I can't get my head through it without unbuttoning at least 2 buttons of the collar. What a pain! But the outfit is so so cute, and that is why I'm keeping it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The mango color is fabulous - I got so many compliments when I wore it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This item was strangely constructed in that the button-on collar had to be removed before the garment could be put over the head. Extremely inconvenient, which is why I sent it back.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I wore my new sweater to work and the girls loved it. Very classic style. The color (pink) was perfect not too bright, not too light. It would be nice if it came in Petite. I am very short waisted and all my shirts and sweaters fall well below the hip and i have to hem them.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Having to partially unbutton the collar to get the sweater on and off is slightly inconvenient but not enough to prevent me from wearing the collar.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Purchased to use for skirts and pants mix and match
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Not what I thought it would be
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is yuppy sheek without the pretension. I purchased the mango as I work for the Knoxville Convention Center and UT gameday is a big deal around here and I ofcourse have to work on most of them. It's perfect for football season. Only complaint is it takes a little while to put on as you practically have to completely remove the collar to put it on (or maybe that's just me and my big irish head)
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Felt like it was 2 sizes too small. Make sure you order, at least, the next size up.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The neck of the sweater wouldn't go over a baby's head! I removed the collar and it still wouldn't go on without major tugging! [...]
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The only bad thing is the collar can be a real hassle.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sleeves on this sweater are too tight. There should be more room in that area.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this sweater!!! After receiving this top in begonia-great color by the way-I have to have more. It is perfect for work but can also wear out. The color is nice and bright. I haven't washed it yet, but I can't say enough about it. The fit is great. Only possible down side would be the collar. It is removable but didn't lay quit right unless completely buttoned.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I bought this sweater for work and it would have been perfect if the bust wasn't too small. I didn't like that the collar buttoned in. I had a hard time making it lay flat, and then the pull from the buttons was clearly visible from the outside. The neckline looked lumpy.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I don't like the collar! It doesn't seem to fit on the shirt well. I feel like everyone can tell it's a snap in!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
the neck does not stretch enough to go over the head with the collar on.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really liked this sweater. Unfortunately, it did not suit my body type. But I would buy it and give it as a gift. It was a great, versatile piece of clothing.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I have a hard time getting it over my head, but once that task it accomplished, it fits great.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
[...] The first thing I noticed was the material was extremely thin which made for a very unattractive fit.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I order this sweater in Orange and love the bright color. Top fits well just a little baffled by how best to put this on. Apparently you need to unbutton the shirt collar then rebutton once it is on - just a bit of effort.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The collar is removable, but looks best attached. I removed it to wash the sweater and it took a little while to reattach, since there were quite a few buttons. Otherwise, very simple garment that works well for the price.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I sent this back. It doesn't fit like the photo-it is not fitted. The fabric is rough and it has this ridiculous detachable collar with tiny poorly sewn buttons that is a pain to remove. I thought for the price it was pretty cheaply made
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Collar is a button on which seems like a cheap solution and th sweater will not slip over your head unless the collar is partially detached from the neckline - it is an inconvenient, poor design.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Nice sweater, I would recommend buying it a size larger.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sweater can't be pulled over the head without detaching the collar. The collar itself is too narrow for the size - even my 14 year old daughter couldn't get it over her head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Cute in the catalog, but not worth the money. The collar is the deal-breaker. It is attached all the way around by small buttons held on by loose threading. Once on, it is extremely awkward to re-do the buttons to give it that classic, fitted look. Leave them undone, and the collar just flips out, making it look cheap. Yes, it's removable, but would you really want to since the sleeves are attached?
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Looks great in the picture but neck is too tight and cannot slip over the head unless you first take the collar off and that is a hassle
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This shirt has a very small head opening. When I tried to put my head in, 2 buttons popped off.
The shirt is a great addition to any wardrobe, and can dress up a pair of jeans or kwakis.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
You have to wear the fake collar bececause the white part of the sleeve is not removable. The fake collar is itchy and is too high on your neck. I didn't like the feel of it but once I removed it, the shirt no longer looked good because of the sleeves.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is an awesome sweater! I bought (3) of them in different shades. I have only worn the Mango and have gotten many compliments on it. I had seen this item in the catalog for months and pondered if I should purchase. I am so glad I finally did!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
It's a little hard to get the collars right.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I loved the look of this sweater but was disappointed at the difficulty of putting it on. You have to unbutton the collar first or your head won't fit in. Otherwise I found the sizing to be a little large.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
What's great is that it can be worn casually or to work. It's versital. What's wrong is that it can potentially snag when worn. It's that kind of knit that snags easily. When I received it, there were snags already in the garment before I even put it on. Came that way -- I had to automatically return it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Really like it, although in order to fit it through my head I need to unbotton the collar.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Don't even try
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is shorter on me than the model who is wearing it.I was not impress with this blouse. The collar is attached by small buttons, that after a few times of un-doing them will probably need resewing.I would only recommend this if you really liked the way it looks and wanted to try it....you'll probably end up returning it like I am.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I was suprised to find out that the collar is not actually sewn into the sweater. It is attached by buttons. This could become a problem after many wears b/c the buttons could come loose or pull at the sweater where attached.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The only thing I don't like about this sweater is that I have to unbutton the collar (away from the sweater) in the front to get it over my head . . . and I don't have a huge head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love the color and the idea of a white collar. However, the collar buttons on, and you cannot get it on with the collar on the shirt because it does not stretch. Then after you get the shirt on, you have to try to put the collar back on.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I GOT COMPLIMENTS ALL DAY LONG the day I wore it! It's VERY figure flattering and classy. I ordered lawn and begonia and they look great with white pants. I'm a size 6 and the size small fits very well.
After I read the review for this sweater I was scared to death to get it. Everyone was talking about problems with the collar and sleeve size.
I had NO problem with the collar... just understanding I needed to unbotton the front 2 buttons (that attach the collar to the sweater) before putting it over my head.
The collar DOES sit high on your neck. Since it's white you need to be careful to not have makeup low on your jaw/neck as it would get all over the collar.
I have not washed it yet but based on the 'thickness' of the fabric I would probably wash it gentle and lay flat to dry, hoping it will hold up for a while.
I would totally recommend this to a friend.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
It is beautiful,but the sleeves and collar are too tight for me. I returned it.
ThankYou very much
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Its pretty good for the price, the quality is not REAL GREAT, but for what I paid it's just ok
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this shirt, but you have to completely unbutton the collar or they will pop. I like the way I look in this shirt! :}
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really liked this sweater. It is now part of my work clothes and weekend wear.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I received so many compliments on this item that I bought another one in a different color. This must be washed in COLD and NOT put in the dryer. Not the best choice for a busy mom with lots of laundry.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really like it, and would buy it again.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I am returing this sweater. I am very disappointed with the quality.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Concerned that the attachable collar (buttons) will not hold up over time.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I should have ordered a smaller size than I usually wear. This was boxy (too wide) and short.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is a great piece to layer. My office is air conditioned, but also hs windows that get full sun most of the day. I can put this on under a jacket in the morning when it is cool, and then wear it alone in the afternoon and still look put together.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very nice. The collar is removable, which makes it easier to wash and dry without the fear of the color bleeding onto the white.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
the sweater was wondweful, I ordered a meduim, could not get it over my head. you need to recommed a larger size. I thougnt what is this? junior sizes. can not wear the sweater, have to give it away. to someone with a smaller head.if you want this sweater get a bigger size than what your use to odering.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
/should have ordered it in a larger size
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The collar is buttoned on and you have to unbutton it to get it over your head. This is a hassle. It seems a bit big through the chest area.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I really like this sweater and would reccommend buying it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sweater is very thin. You have to unbutton several of the buttons to loosen the collar so you can pull this sweater over your head. Then it is nearly impossible to re-button the collar. I bought 2 and returned them.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I RETURNED THIS ITEM NEW NECK IS TO TIGHT TO GO OVER YOUR HEAD EVEN AFTER UNBUTTONING THE COLLAR
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I'm returning the sweater. It is pretty; however, the attachment of the collar to the sweater is lumpy and you can see through the sweater where the two connect; fabric too thin; not great guality.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is one of the greatest pieces and made a little revolution in my style. The fit is absolutely perfect, fitted in the right places. The length is perfect and made me realize that I need tops to be about this length as it's very flattering and stylish. The revolution is I will alter my tops from other places that are too long and shop almost exclusively at Chadwick's as tops tend to approach this fit. The one quirk about this top is you have to unbutton two buttons on the collar to get it over your head. This, however, is no problem and once re-buttoned looks quite nice on. What a fun, classic piece.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
All of the cumbersome buttons to undo and redo to put the sweater on made it totally undesirable.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very stylish to wear to work or going out.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This top was exactly the style I was looking for but it's not perfect. It's a little too short in the torso, the blue color was brighter than expected, but the biggest issue I had was how the collar buttoned onto the sweater. It pulls a bit, so you can see where the buttons are. It's still cute though, and I've already worn it twice.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I could not wait to get this item because I love this look...especially for summer. You can have the whole blouse sweater look with only one layer. However, I must say there were a couple of surprises. First of all the model's sweater is obviously cinched in the back with something because the sweater does not fit me like this. I am a size 6 and ordered a small and my sweater is not this long and it does not fit around the waist like the model’s does. Second you have to remove the collar to get the sweater on and then you have to connect the collar after you put the sweater on. I got a lot of compliments, but they mostly had to do with the color (I chose the orange like the model). I left the collar button open like the model, but the collar kept moving around and I fidgeted with it all day. I still like the look and I might order another one, but I may have to wear it with the collar closed and I might try an extra small this time around.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Sweater fits good and color is great but be warned that you must take off the collar to get it over your head and two buttons popped off in the process.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I can use the sweater for work and for play.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
It was a really cute sweater, but it was difficult to get over my head without removing the collar. I also had some reservations about the maintaining the collar.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I use the sweater mainly for work outfits
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I like the sweater overall
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The buttons around the collar came off when putting on the sweater the very FIRST time. The neck on the sweater did not have any give, either, resulting in stretched out neck/fit. Although the sweater came with an extra button, now I have to sew before I can even wear the sweater once.
The sweater looks great in the catalog - I still love the idea of it; the quality of the product did not match the style, though. Also, as the sweater was on back order so long, I did not feel it was worth the effort of returning it and now feel stuck.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
My office went business casual for the summer and this item fits that designation perfectly. I ordered one in a favorite color to see what it was like. The fit was true to my size (12) and I liked it so well, I plan to order it in several other colors. The only complaint I have is that I have to unbutton the collar to release it to fit over my head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Liked the sweater except for the high ribbed bottom. It was not flattering with my bit of a tummy. Probably works for a more slender shape. Will be returning.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great product [...]
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
[...] disappointed with it. It looks long & sleek in the catalog however, it fits very short & wide on me. I will be returning it soon.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I have gotten so many complements on the two
sweaters so far. Red and Navy. I wear with
my pant suits and the sweaters really pop.
I like the classic tailored look.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I absolutely loved this sweater. It was worth the backorder wait. It is very comfortable, stylish and makes you feel good about yourself. When you wash it - the color of the sweater does not wash out onto the colar or sleeve and this is what makes it worth the buy. The color of the sweater does not wash out easily either.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Overall, I love it. The only difficulty is that it is necessary to partially unbutton the collar from the sweater in order to put it on.

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Unfortunately I am returning the product. When I ordered I thought it was all one piece. In order to get it over my head I had to unbutton several buttons on the collar and then they were difficult to rebutton. Additionally, when it was on, the collar looked separated from the rest due to all the buttons. In the catelog, the style was very nice and I really liked the color - green.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love everything about this sweater, EXCEPT the tiny neck hole. But to overcome it all I had to do is partially detach the collar. The color is rich and the fabric is soft. I will probably purchase this in another color as well.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The only thing i am not crazy about is how tha coller unbuttons but the sleeves do not, with the coller the sleeves look silly.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I was so disappointed with this sweater. It was back ordered and so when I finally received the the package I was so happy and let me tell you...what a disappointment when I felt the fabric quality (very poor). I didn't return the items (I ordered two) because I just can't be bothered with this catalog ever again. I don't think I will ever order another item from Chadwick's.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Even after removing the collar I couldn't get it over my head.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I was not happy with the way it looked or how it fit. Looked much better in the catalog.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater has great potential. Unfortunately the structure and application of the collar undermines its use. The collar is buttoned onto the sweater which impacts putting on the sweater because your head won't fit through the hole without unbuttoning the collar. If you don't unbutton enough of the buttons then you run the danger of having a button pop off. If they wanted to make the collar removeable then snaps would have been easier. Better yet, make the collar permanent but such that a head can fit through. Nice sweater but misses the mark.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
It's cute but seems cheap for what I paid. We'll see how it holds up when washed.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Great summer color and summer look.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
They layered sleeves work with this sweater, because they are sewn in. However, the collar does not. The buttons on the neck decreases the neck size. In order to get the blouse over your head, you have to remove and replace the collar. This is hugely inconvenient. You'd be better served to wear another blouse underneath.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
be sure to unbutton the collar before putting on or u will rip the buttons off the inside of the collar like i did... now i have to sew them back on. other than that its a nice and trendy sweater. looks good on and fits well...
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The buttons on the collar do not keep the collar in place, I have to constantly tuck the collar ends back in under the neck of the sweater. I do like the look of the sweater once everything is in place. The sleeves are a bit tight and short, though.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I simply like this sweater.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this shirt/sweater, but you have to completely unbutton the collar each time before you put it on or you will pop a button. I however, still love this shirt and receive compliments each time I wear it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this look. The top is thankfully long enough (I am tall and large-busted) and I believe it is flattering. I received several compliments when I wore it and I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the black version.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Very unhappy with the quality of this sweater. Does not look like the picture in the magazine. Hard to get on because neck size is too small. I have been unhappy with my last few purchases from Chadwick's and do not plan to make another purchase. Chadwick's has lost a customer.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Nice top for casual work days. Looks good with the linen pants
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater is much nicer than expected. I have just ordered one of each color.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I love this sweater! After reading some of the reviews I was concerned about the neck size but it was just fine. All you have to do is unbutton the first button on the collar on each side before you put it on and it’s easy to re-button once it’s on. There’s no way any blouse like collar is going to go over your head without unbuttoning it! It fit great and I plan on ordering it in another color.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Perfect fit - perfect description match!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The white detachable collar is connected with buttons. Two or three need to be undone to be able to slide the sweater over your head. Very cute look.

I haven't washed the sweater yet, but I fear that the color of the sweater may fade on the sleeves and the color
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Fits really well, I wouldn't put it in the dryer though. Great way to look really put together without even thinking about it!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I ordered the purple haze and the deep red. I love the purple haze, but the red wasn't a deep red at all. I didn't like the red color and will be returning it.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The Buttons that attach the collar to the sweater are sewn on somewhat loosely and will probably need to be resewn soon. Also, the collar needs to be unbuttoned in order to pull it over your head, as it does not stretch along with the sweater fabric.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This is the third sweater I've gotten like this and I really like them. It's not a perfect sweater, but it is stylish and I feel great wearing it! I've been hand-washing mine and laying flat to dry because I don't want them to shrink and I also have to iron them, which I don't mind because I don't like wrinkles.
The collar can be kind of a pain just because sometimes it doesn't want to stay down under the sweater, but I still like them! I am waiting for the green one that has been on back-order all summer!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I returned this item because I couldn't get it over my head... and I'm a size 4!

It looks great with skirts, pants or shorts.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
I normally wear a small. I could not even get my head through the neck opening, but I loved the feel and look. I am going to try a medium.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
This sweater is not as cute in person as it was in the catalog. Also, I will never wear it with the collar, because it is SO obvious that it is just a collar and not an actual shirt that it looks tacky. Also, the finish around the bottom of the sweater looks cheap.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Perfect for hot weather; a little small for a medium, choose a larger size; Great for work, it looks professional or casual.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
Nice sweater. Collar is attached to neck of sweater with about 10 buttons --- nice in a way, can remove the collar to wash it separately, but makes it hard to pull the sweater over your head to put it on.

Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The sweater is beautiful. The color is great!!
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The detachable collar is burdensome. The button to attach the collar are too tiny, the button holes too big, the collar thus does not fit, lay properly, comes loose.
I would have ordered this in each color, but after seeing the one item I did order, and how the collar is attached, I will not order other colors.
Comments about Chadwicks The American Classic Sweater:
The collar must be detached before you can put it on and then it is not easy to reattach the collar once you are wearing it. The cuffs on the sleeves droop and do not hold their original upright shape after washing. I had to sew the cuff ends together to get them to stand up properly. Overall, a nice shirt to look at but poorly designed.

This is a really great sweater. Light weight, very comfortable and stylish.
