This coatigan is amazing and fits just perfectly! Shipping was super quick, as well.
Leslie H.LOVE this cardigan - exceptional quality, fit, and comfort. The Celtic knot zipper is a lovely touch and makes this sweater even more unique.
MichelleExcellent as always! I have purchased nine zip up sweaters at different times and have admirers of my sweaters wherever I shop.
JoanStupendo cardigan in lana merino. Splendido il modello e splendida la lavorazione Aran, ottimo capo molto caldo e con rifiniture di pregio.
Flavia RaineriLove the cardigan. Stylish, lovely fit, excellent service. The one slight concern I have is the zip. It's quite stiff and I feel it's very delicate...
SharonThis coatigan is absolutely beautiful! Just the right weight for the crisp New England weather. I already have five Irish knit sweaters but I've had my eye on this coatigan for a while. When it went on sale, I jumped at the chance to purchase it. It arrived with a few days. I purchased the charcoal one and the color is perfect. Be sure to look carefully at the sizing chart. I usually wear a medium sweater but according to the chart (as well as some customer feedback), I ordered a small. It was a perfect fit. The double zipper is a great feature as it will make it more comfortable when sitting down or driving. I am so pleased with the product. I showed it to my best friend and she immediately ordered one for herself. Sh is very pleased as well. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Blarney!
MaureenI love the Irish knit sweaters. This is my fifth one, although I bought them when I was in Ireland. I have had my eye on this coatigan on the website for a while. When it went on sale, I jumped at the chance. I am so glad I did. The coat is beautiful and warm enough for Autumn in New England. I love the double zip so it can be unzipped from the bottom when sitting. I showed my friend and she immediately went on line and ordered one. I recommend looking at the sizing chart before ordering. I am usually a medium but the small fit perfectly. I am a very happy customer!
MaureenSo happy I ordered this sweater! Arrived on time, and fit perfectly-beautifully made, and it came with a story of the “Blarney Co”; I was pleased to support them, and to have such a quality sweater to help advertise their business!
MaureenThis is a beautiful item! It took a little while to arrive (although it was not outside of the expected timeframe) and was worth the wait. The quality is excellent. For the price, it is more substantial than I expected, which made me feel that it was a great value. It is a perfect weight - not too heavy, not too light. I did not follow the advice to size down (I felt I was right in between sizes so I went for the larger size). I am 5'3", 115 lbs. with a somewhat petite frame and size small is a comfortable fit (not ultra-tailored) but absolutely perfect for a coatigan. I am very happy with this item.
SherylLove it! looks great, love the color (charcoal). The knit pattern, length and fitted cut are stylish. The up/down zippers are handy and love the design details - pockets, zipper pulls wide neckline. The merino is soft, the jacket is warm but not too bulky. A winner! Size XS was a perfect fit (I'm a size 6 top/size 4 bottom in US sizes)
LeslieWhat a great sweater! While it's still summer and about 10 weeks away from sweater weather here, it will clearly be warm but not too hot. While heavy weight, it is not the heaviest of Blarney's sweaters (the Deidre seems a lot heavier to me), so it will do what I wanted: great for sweater weather in fall & early spring, but it also fits under my winter coats (I buy them large enough to accommodate sweaters) for indoor use in the coldest weather. While I previously planned to look for a black sweater, I chose the charcoal based on other review(s)which said it was dark, but pleasanter than stark black, and I agree. It is a lovelier color in person than even on my monitor. Charcoal should also need washing less often. Yea! The charcoal also beautifully complements my silver, slightly peppery hair. The pattern is gorgeous. Fitting notes: I'm only 5 feet tall, normal weight (107), but fully figured, including a waist that's expanded some with age & illness -- yet the sweater still looks good on me, better than another coatigan I tried. I will have to tuck the cuffs underneath and tack it there, because the sleeves are too long, at least for my taste (I don't like sleeves down to the start of my thumb). If you buy this (or any!) sweater, I HIGHLY recommend buying from Blarney. I've had the best customer service that I can ever recall from Lorraine, the great lady on the other end of any email addressed to customer service. While she's obviously busy and therefore it may take 2-3 work days to get a response, she patiently answered many questions re: the products and how they fit. I did use their free returns/exchange policy (USA & EU, as I understand; there's a link to this info at the bottom of many Blarney web pages). Because I'm hard to fit, I really appreciate this policy. A great company in my opinion: beautiful products, fair prices, free returns/exchanges, and great customer service -- it doesn't get any better!
GailAbsolutely gorgeous! I purchased the charcoal color after having my eye on it for awhile. I have bought a few pieces from Blarney Mills before and every one of them is well made and holds up over time too. I bought a small, and it fits a tad loose so a sweater can be worn underneath. It hits a bit above mid thigh, the weave is soft yet thick and I love the pattern. Couldn't be happier. Wore it for a morning walk after a sudden front dropped the temperature 30 degrees.
MalloryFive Stars ! Excellent quality and service ! Love it !!
BettyI bought this gorgeous sweater 10 years ago...it helped me get through the pandemic I have worn it nearly everyday so alas I need a new one ( getting it today.) At 5 foot 2 inches the extra small fits perfectly. If you want the BEST Irish sweater ever ...this is it!!!
CarolI purchased this beautiful coatigan and the hoodie Celtic sweater as gifts for myself. I was thrilled with the beauty, warmth, weight, quality of workmanship and fit of both sweaters. I find this coatigan to be particularly elegant - I purchased it in the charcoal color. I have quite a collection of Aran sweaters, some dating back to my first trip to Ireland 50 years ago. The two sweaters I just received from Blarney Woollen Mills are my new favorites. I feel they are both excellent values and I highly commend Blarney Woollen Mills for their superb customer service and fast shipping. I was delighted to have received these beautiful items so quickly. I will thoroughly enjoy wearing these sweaters for many years to come.
Linda KileyI'm SO happy with this purchase! This is not my first sweater from Blarney Woolen Mills. I've always been pleased with the beauty & quality from this company. My newest purchase is this coatigan in the oat color. So cute & perfect as we transition from winter into spring!
DianeI can't tell you how pleased I am with this Double Collar Zip Aran Coatigan! Normally I would wear a Medium, but the size chart was spot on and the Small fit perfectly. The first time I wore it I received a compliment from a stranger right away. It's a beautiful weave, great quality, and will be a go-to favorite for a long time.
LeanneLovely! Bought a medium as I like my sweaters to be a bit loose-fitting. Normally wear size small. Quality stitching and quality zipper, too. Can't go wrong with this warm, beautiful Blarney sweater!
PJI am in love with my new sweater! It's beautiful and has a neat zipper pull. I can't believe how fast it got here (U.S.) from Ireland. I immediately tried it on and it is a perfect fit even with a long sleeved pullover top underneath. I am 5'6" and 120 lbs. and bought the XS. The sleeves are nice and long and I love having pockets although they aren't big enough for my phone. This sweater is perfect for keeping warm around the house in winter and when I'm outside with the dog. Arizona winters do get chilly! So glad I discovered this website.
Shannon LanningAbsolutely gorgeous cardigans. Thank you for the fast delivery
Melanie VarleyMy coatigan arrived today and is beautiful. I haven't tried it on yet because it is 18 degrees today. I look forward to wearing it.
janisI received this sweater yesterday just in time for dropping temperatures in Chicago. I could not be happier. This sweater is beautiful with all sorts of flattering details and artistic touches. I bought the charcoal color in xs and it fits me perfectly. and is warm and cozy.
SarahLove this gorgeous coatigan! It is warm and cozy and I receive compliments every time I wear it.
JamieLove it. Only problem is it’s summer in Hobart, bottom of Australia so I haven’t had a chance to wear it. It will be perfect in our winters and icy winds.
MmcOver the past 18 months or so (you’d have to check your records) I’ve ordered I think five sweaters and a shoulder bag from you: they’re all gorgeous. Stylish, well-made, and very reasonably priced. I especially love the double collar zip Aran coatigan, which I now have in two colours. Wore the parsnip one last autumn with a long black skirt and your herringbone tweed shoulder bag on a flight to Vancouver for an academic conference: was tapped on the shoulder and tugged at the sleeve by some very envious women in the airports. Don’t normally do testimonials but this is a deeply felt thank you, as I absolutely loathe shopping and it’s wonderful to find a shop that suits and is so reliable.
AllysonBeautiful sweater and great quality. My wife loves it plus loves the other sweater I purchased for her. Awesome service. Great company to work with and excellent customer service. Lorraine’s customer care was awesome!
JohnnyPerfect, wonderful, beautiful.
Eva MoutVery generous fit and comfy. Can wear it all by itself or under my rain slicker/down jacket for added warmth. Hits a few inches above the knee. Love the pockets as well as the neutral charcoal color that goes with everything without washing me out.
Goldylox2UI received my Coatigan yesterday and am so happy it fits perfectly!!! I took it off only to sleep. I was worried I might want a large because I like a relaxed fit, I'm 5.6" weight 138 and the medium is still generous. Love the zipper (unzips from the bottom as well as top) the charcoal color is very nice and the tunic length so flattering. This is a soft sweater not picky. I'm dreaming about the other styles I'm planning to add to my collection. I live in NH and it's been drizzly and chilly. Perfect for a wool sweater. Thank you Blarney! I love, love, love my sweater. PS mom loves hers too. She received a sweater yesterday also. And thank you for the booklet on your history. Buying more soon. People don't hesitate. Great company, free shipping, good prices, gorgeous sweaters that will last your entire life if you care for them properly.
RamonaI purchased this sweater in parsnip. Love the color. Love the fit. love the weight, lighter than 2 others that I have purchased. Absolutely will be used year around.
lynLove this, comfortable, perfect for midwest winter
Lee OI treated myself, for Christmas, to this beautiful coatigan in the charcoal color. It is absolutely grand. I bought my normal size & it fit just right. The length is just perfect. I use it in place of a jacket when I'm dressed up for Mass and most everyday for work. I think, next year, I'll treat myself to the parsnip one!
KellySimply fantastic - it is exactly as warm, comfortable and beautiful as I hoped it would be. I’ve had so many compliments on it and it instantly became a firm favourite in my autumn/winter wardrobe! Excellent price-quality ratio, I’m delighted with it.
YvonneThis is a most beautiful cardigan. Very warm and ideal for cold Austrian winter. Fits perfectly.
UtaI love each of the sweaters I have purchased online. The customer service office is awesome. Thank you
KathyI bought this sweater for my daughter as I was so happy with the one I bought for myself while in Ireland. This is a gorgeous sweater with many lovely stitches. It had a small problem with the zipper tape becoming unstitched but it was no trouble for me to fix it myself. I will definitely shop again at Blarney online.
Erin GrimshawDouble Collar Coat just arrived....its absolutely gorgeous! Fits perfectly,...love the colour....perfect weight for this time of year. So looking forward to wearing it. Thank you for the great customer service, and super fast delivery...not sure how you do that, but so glad you do. The quality of wool and the craftsmanship is great. Thanks again, I will be shopping with you in the future..
LESLEY GILMOURThis coat is lovely. I ordered a small based on the other reviews... It fits perfectly. It’s warm, comfortable and light weight. The quality and finish of the garment is super. I will buy from Blarney Mills again. Thanks for a great quality product and fast deliver...can’t wait to wear it.
LesleyI just received this gorgeous sweater and it exceeds my expectations! It is sized generously so I took the recommendations of other customers and ordered one size down. It has a very feminine shape and I love the longer length to wear with leggings. The pockets and double zipper are great too. Thanks so much Blarney Wollen Mills!
Susan JahnI love my cardigan in the natural color! I was looking for something light that I could wear almost year round. I've have already recieved compliments on this! I would suggest ordering down one size if you are unsure about the fit. Could have gone with an XS in this .I love my merino wool cardigan. Excellent service! Ilene was very friendly and courteous!! Love Love
Laura MichiganThe coat is beautiful. I purchased it in charcoal. The double zipper is great and high collar will be nice. I went with a small based on another review and hope that it does stretch a bit. It hasn't been cold enough to wear it yet. I was happy with how quickly it arrived In Pennsylvania. I have other sweaters and scarves that I purchased in Ireland. The sweaters are so warm and comfortable. I am sure the coat will be the same.
GailAbsolutely amazing, The coat is beautiful, customer service the best. I received the coat in 4 days after ordering considering i am in Australia that has to be the best service i have ever received from an overseas company. So pleased I love the product and the service is just unbeatable thank you.
SharonMy partner bought this jacket for me on New Years Day this year and I Love, LoVE LOVE IT!!!!!! We almost bought a medium as it was the last one on the shop floor, but a really lovely sales guy went to the warehouse over the road from the mill and found me a small (I'm a size 12). Definately go for a size smaller than you would normally buy as iis weighty and it will stretch (it has). Don't wear anything too thick underneath it, is soooooo warm and snuggly you will overheat if you do. I wore it tonight, in Manchester and a lady asked me if I'd knitted it, when I showed her the label she went straight onto the website and bought one! Lol. Hardly surprising really, it is lovely. Have yet to wash it, says dry clean only but I am going to give it a 30 degree hand wash, I don't trust dry cleaners with it Go on treat yourself, you won't be disappointed X
JaneI bought this beautiful sweater a year ago in Ireland and wore it often, each time receiving many compliments on it. Then I took it to the cleaners and they ruined it and refused to compensate me for the loss. I was devastated and contacted Blarney. The replaced my beautiful sweater and I love it and am so very happy for the replacement. Anytime I'm looking for a sweater this will be my go to place. I've also passed along this story to all my friends. Especially the ones who love my beautiful sweater. Thanks, Blarney, for the great products and most of all the great service! Happy in the Great White North where my sweater gets lots of use.
KarinI received the jacket I ordered from you today. I am just dropping a line to tell you how thrilled I am with it. The design, quality and finish are all superb. I feel brilliant when I wear it. Thanks to all at Blarney Mills for such a great product.
JaneI just purchased (Dec / 14) this gorgeous sweater coat in Toronto much to my surprise!! It is my 3rd Aran Sweater and by far my favourite! Love the colour ( Parsnip ), length and fit. I doubt it will be my last.
JoanI've always wanted a real Irish wool sweater so on my summer trip to Ireland, after trying on about a dozen items, I bought this warm sweater coat in the oatmeal color at Blarney Woolen Mills. It is a lovely, beautiful piece of clothing and I'm still waiting for it to be cold enough to wear it here at home in New Mexico (late October). I most like the double zipper and also the double collar which is snuggly but not scratchy. Sizing is generous; the small fits easily over street clothes.
