"A Classic. I went down a size for this one (I have another in M, and I usually run between S/M), and love it! I have another in M that is great, but with the boxy fit, tighter on the arms is my preference."

This incredibly luxurious cotton sweater is yarn-dyed in Italy and knitted by artisans in sunny California for a unique feel you’ll never want to take off.
Fits true to size
100% Italian Cotton
Inspired by the natural beauty of Monterey, our first-ever F&E sweater is a rare gem. With a unique exposed seam running down our signature continuous sleeve and the most elegant funnel neck, there’s no other sweater like it. We spent years developing this sophisticated silhouette, and the best part? Monterey is machine-washable and doesn’t pill... what sweater dreams are made of!
Please note this is a general size guide, not product-specific measurements. Every woman's body is different, so fit may vary slightly depending on the style or fabric of the garment. For the most accurate fit, we recommend taking your body measurements and comparing them to the chart.
BUST
Wrap a soft measuring tape under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.
Pro Tip: Keep your favorite undergarment on while you measure to get the most accurate number.
NATURAL WAIST
Stand up straight and relax your stomach, then wrap a soft measuring tape at the midway point between the bottom of your ribcage and your hip bone. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.
HIP
Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.
Pro Tip: Sitting down while you take this measurement ensures accuracy and provides added comfort for the best fit.
INSEAM
Use a soft measuring tape to measure from the highest point of your inner thigh to the bottom of where the pant will hit. For instance, if the inseam is 27”, you’ll measure 27” down.
Pro Tip: Measuring with shoes on lets you see the full picture and ensures your pants fall exactly where you want them.

"This sweater fits so well, has the perfect amount of drape! It’s a staple!"

"Love the way this sweater feels. I usually get a Large in F&E tops but after reading the reviews about the tightness of the neck, I ordered the XL and I'm glad I did (since it was final sale!) It is plenty roomy through the body but doesn't look sloppy and I didn't find the neck to be uncomfortable at all. I will enjoy this sweater a lot once the weather cools off! In fact, I think I'm going to order another one on sale!"

"As beautiful as it is comfortable for long autumn walks or a festive hang with good friends. I would happily wear this sweater everyday!"

"This is a great sweater! Versatile. Casual enough to wear with jeans or knit pants, but dressy enough to wear for work-at-home. I purchased the gray melange and it's a staple wardrobe piece. I waited until I washed it, to see if it would hold up, before purchasing another color. I washed it on the gentle cycle, air dried it for a short period of time in the dryer, and then hung it on a rack to finish drying. It washed perfectly - no shrinkage, no issues. Definitely purchasing a second color. Maybe even a third. :)"

"I really expected to love this sweater - the knit and color are great - but the length is just odd. It is not “cropped” however, it IS short which is not evident in the photos. I read a number of reviews and others mentioned that it was long - how can that be? I measured it at a number of points along the bottom hem and it is between 23 and 24 inches long (i think the rolled edge is what is causing the imprecise measure. ) It is just not falling at a flattering point for me. All other aspects of the sweater are great. So disappointed!!!"

"I love the sweater! It has a beautiful space dye pattern with gorgeous fall colors like gold and brown and Loren. It feels so smooth and is a joy to wear."
— Ann M. (5/5)
"Frank & Eileen designs are timeless fashion!!! This sweater is beautifully crafted and it pairs well with my wardrobe. Frank & Eileen clothing is a staple in my closet. I have items that I purchased over 5 years ago, wear weekly and still look brand new. I loved this sweater so much that I purchased it in two colors."

"This was my first Monterey sweater purchase. On the positive side, the material is soft and warmer than expected. It’s a good three season weight for the Midwest. Heather Gray is a pretty and versatile color. On the disappointing side, I once again was recommended the wrong size by the F&E “size quiz. ” My recommendation was “large” and it’s really big on me. The arms in particular end mid hand. If I ordered again, I’d definitely size down. The F&E quite recommends what customers with similar proportions ordered. I wish I knew how many customers returned because of the incorrect size."
— Susan K. (3/5)
"Beautiful sweater! I have a few Monterey sweaters so I know I like the fit and style. This one is lovely and I cannot wait to wear it once the weather accommodates sweater wearing on the daily. It will be a wonderful addition to my wardrobe."
