For reference I'm 5'10 237 lb this sweater is thick it's a heavy material it is not thin mine had a mark on it and as I looked closer I was able to see that the Mark was from Brown thread being used as shown through to the white part other than that there was nothing wrong with it again it is a thick heavy material it is on the larger side so if you want a roomy sweater go with your normal size it will be roomy if you wanted to be a more fitted look I would size down I also think that if you washed it and dried it it might shrink down to the size that you might want versus if you washed it and let it air dry overall it is a very good looking sweater it looks exactly like it does in the picture the detail is good. If that brown yarn hadn't been used and shown through the sweater I would have given it five stars
