classy but pricey | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
The fit is snug in the arms. I am usually a size small and this fits me perfectly if I only wear a tissue t-shirt beneath. I have the expresso which is a rich nut brown tweed with an orange collar. The Mtn Hardware signature is so low and hard to see that this cardigan is barely worth the price tag. I prefer a two way zipper but there is some give to the material so it doesn't bunch up when sitting. It's too casual for my office. With a thin shirt underneath it makes the cardigan wearable only in the fall as it's not warm enough for the WI winters. I wouldn't wear this without a shirt as the wool is just slightly picky. If your arms are slim this is actually a classy light sweater for fall. | |

Mountain Hardware Sarafin Cardigan my favorite warm shirt | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
The Mountain Hardware Sarafin Cardigan is my favorite warm shirt. I wear it over a shirt because it's a little too warm to wear in the office but it's perfect for our current cool mornings and evenings. It fits more tightly than the Mountain Hardware Sarafin Sweater so the styling through the body is more accentuated and you can still get clean lines even if you wear it unzipped over a tank top. The arms are a bit long if you're a petite, like me, but the material is thin enough that you can push the sleeves up without uncomfortable bunching. The material on the collar is soft but the rest of the shirt can occasionally be slightly itchy. If you have sensitive skin you might want to consider wearing a bottom layer underneath it. | |

Surprising Jacket! | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| This is a nice, stylish jacket, but surprisingly warm for a jacket that is rather thin and not bulky. I felt uncomfortably warm wearing it with a long sleeve shirt underneath, so now I pair it with a sleeveless shirt or camisole. Bought a size Large for extra room, but found it to be more or a generous Medium rather than a true Large. However the XL was worlds too big especially at the chest area where it meets the arms. There is less difference between a Medium and a Large, but a vast difference between a Large and an XL. It could be just a bit longer for comfort and coverage, but all in all, it's a good jacket and the river blue color is gorgeous. | |

She's gotta have it! | |

| I had purchased a green one several months ago(at another store sorry), and then realized I must have another! It has been very versatile, and warm. I saw that it came in a cool turquoise color which was cool since I just got rid of an old polar fleece in that color and was kinda missin it! It is slim fitting. Some might find the sleeves long, but this is one of the few things I have that doesn't sit above my wrist bone! So I find it warmer that way. You can also fold cuff back too. | |

My new favorite sweater | |

This wool sweater looks great -- and has a soft, fleecy lining that makes it very, very comfortable. | |

Love It! | |

| I LOVE this cardigan. It is somewhat dressy with all the comfort of a sweatshirt! I am thinking of ordering another color. It will be very versatile. It's much more "stylish" than the picture makes it look. The fit skims the body without being tight. I wore a cami under it. True to size if you are looking for body conscious without being tight! | |

nice styling but.... | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| This really runs small and tight in the arms and armholes. I ALWAYS wear XS - and in this sweater, the armholes are so tight that they were uncomfortable. A SM in the sweater is too large in the bust, waist, and sleeve length is too long, so ordering up a size doesn't fix the problem. Too bad --- | |

Warm and stylish. | |

| Lovely cardigan, nicely designed collar and the inside lining in a different colour a very smart detail. It is warm without being heavy and seems to be of excellent quality. The pocket on the upper sleeve difficult to zip open, a lower pocket would have been more useful. | |

Mountain Hardwear Sarafin Cardigan - Women's | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
I found the sizing a bit weird on the Mountain Hardwear Sarafin Cardigan at first, but after a few wears, it fits perfectly - no more super thin arms. I am 5"1', 113 and wear the S. The fit is very flattering, and even works well for work. | |

Love it!! I have two | |

I guess I'm lucky to not have the sizing issues mentioned in other reviews. I find the material to be perfect - warm but not heavy or bulky, the style is extremely flattering, and I really like the 'sleeve pocket' which I use all the time. | |

sizing issues.... | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
This sweater is adorable - fitted and trim. BUT, the XS is really an XXS (toothpick arms and armholes) - compared with the Small, which is rather like a Medium (blousy arms, long sleeves, and full bust). There is no size that fits me! My biggest complaint about Mountain Hardwear brand is their sizing inconsistencies...this sweater was returned. | |

screwy sizing | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
The sweater has great styling, but the sizing is screwy...the Small is too big all over and the XSmall is too small in the arms and armholes. I wish Mountain Hardwear would make its garments true to size! Sizing inconsistencies make it really hard to buy their items online.....this site is great about the buying/returning thing..... | |

Great styling/poor sizing | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
Title says it all - wonderful, flattering stylish, but sizing is very inconsistent, and too big a jump between sizes. XS is VERY small, but Small is too big all over. Too bad. This site makes returns easy, tho. | |

Stylie | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
I didn't have any issues with sizing but I wish the torso was a little longer. Sleeves and shoulders are typical of Mountain Hardwear - longer and accommodating and the overall cut is flattering. The quality is nice but I keep an eye out for strings at the end of the sleeves. It's a super warm piece and I would like to be push up the arms, but the seems prevent that. Overall, I would get another color if it was on sale. | |

Really long arms | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
I just received this sweater. I'm 5'8", 145 lbs and ordered an XL as I tend to prefer my sweaters with a slightly looser fit. This sweater fits nicely in the body and shoulders, but the arms are extremely long. I have really long arms and usually have an issue with sleeves being too short. But this sweater is completely the opposite. I will just have to wear it with the cuffs rolled up a couple of inches. | |
