Head Archivist Oversized Cardigan // Sims
Nice cardigan, wasn't for myself but I did get to try it on. Feels really good.
I am very pleased I bought this cardigan. The other reviews do mention how heavy the material is, but I was actually still caught off guard by it. I really like the heaviness, it reminds me of a weighted blanket. The material feels good and retains heat nicely. I am someone who is very sensitive to itchy clothing, and I am pleased to say that this cardigan has little to no itchiness, which I appreciate. It is only slightly itchy on bate arms, but not enough to really be noticeable or annoying.
In regards to size, I am around 172 cm (about 5'7), so I originally hoped to but a M/L/XL, however it sold out. I bought a 2XL/3XL/4XL, and I am honestly quite glad I did! The cardigan is very oversized, it goes to just above my knees, but that is the style of it. I am glad I ended up with a bigger size due to the arms. They are exactly the correct length for me to avail of the thumb holes, but not too long that the cardigan is rumpled and folded when I use them. Truly the perfect length. The arm size is something to be aware of when you are choosing a size, if you want to use the thumbholes, as if I had gotton the smaller size, they wouldn't have been comfortable to use. The pockets are also fairly big, and will fit a phone and other belongings comfortably.
I love the details of this cardigan. I am a very big fan of The Magnus Archieves, but I didn't want the details to be too garish for me to wear it as a function piece of clothing. I am happy with the embroidery. It is bigger that it looks in the photos, but still subtle enough that it can be appreciated. I particularly like the eye on the wrist and spider Web on the shoulder. They are also hardy enough that they won't frey or unravel, which should be expected for the price. I would be happy to wear this cardigan to college or in public, without being self conscious of it looking too strange.
Overall I am completely delighted with the garments. I was incredibly excited for its arrival, especially as I thought I was pre-ordering and would arrive in September-December, rather than buying it as a part of the in stock drop. When emailed Knock Thrice to enquire if it was an in stock drop, they got back to me quickly, and were very nice to deal with. I would say the cardigan was worth the wait and worth the price, especially if you are a fan of the series. It is one of my favourite clothing items, and I intend to wear it often. :-)
I am so floored by the quality of the items that I received! The knit on the cardigan is thick and cozy and the embroidery is so smooth looking. I adore the little details! I am about 5'4 and bought the smaller size worried any larger might be too long, but wish I would've sized up for the baggier fit. I am super impressed with this and can't wait to wear it often!
Its so soft and the details are so good
Love the cardigan, came exactly as pictured, good weight to it, high quality material/buttons. I will be living in it. The only criticisms I have are minimal and would not stop me from purchasing in the future, but for the sake of transparency, if you have long arms the thumb holes might tug and the interior where embroidery/patches are is a little itchy on bare skin. Would have liked having some softer fabric covering the magnus logo or the web on the back so it does not rub especially considering the price. I also expected it to be a bit bigger than it arrived. As I'm 5'0, 120 lbs I'm normally between a small and a medium; while the xs/s/m is comfortable, I would not say it is oversized. However, as I said, I would happily pay the same for the cardigan as is, because it is so cozy and I adore the details, quality, etc.
