Does the Crusher Flex Cardigan run true to size?

It runs roomier than the brand's Crusher tees, and several owners say their usual size was too big. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down; if you want a loose wrap, keep your normal size.

How does it compare with the Crusher tee?

It uses the same stretchy Crusher-Flex jersey but is cut as an open, hooded cardigan with dropped shoulders and a hip-length hem. It is roomier and thicker than the tee, so it works as a layer rather than a base shirt.

Is it warm enough for cold weather?

It is a mid-weight layer, not a coat. It works over a tee in cool weather and indoors, but it will not replace a jacket in winter.

Does it have pockets and a hood?

Yes. It has side seam pockets, a hood and self-fabric cuffs, and it closes with no buttons or zipper, so it stays open in front.

How should I care for the garment-washed cotton?

The cotton-spandex jersey is pre-washed for softness. Machine wash cold and lay flat or tumble low to keep the stretch and fit; avoid high heat, which can shrink cotton and wear out spandex.

What is the hem like?

It has a subtle high-low hem at hip length, slightly longer in back, which covers the seat without looking long.
