Après Alpaca Long-Sleeve Cardigan - Lilac
From Faherty: “Model: Stephanie is 5'9.5" wearing size Small”
The verdict
Fit
Alpaca cardigans drape beautifully and are naturally soft-handed. Expect a slightly relaxed, layerable fit. Sized for ease; true to size is typical.
Quality
Alpaca at this price reflects real material value and careful finishing. Cardigans demand strong construction; Faherty's likely deliver durable buttonholes and seaming.
Price check
189 USD is a fair mid-premium price for a full alpaca cardigan. The fiber quality and garment complexity justify the cost.
Best for
Layering cornerstone and anyone prioritizing warmth and softness over minimal bulk.
Care
Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry. Alpaca requires gentler handling than wool; avoid wringing or tumble drying.

Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.
Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.

Faherty sweaters: what reviews say
Reviewers single out Faherty's sweater-knit fabrics for softness — one calls the brand's signature knit "probably the softest thing I own" — and report that pieces hold up with wear rather than degrading. Fit feedback is mixed: coverage describes a true-to-size, slightly relaxed cut, but at least one owner found a knit large and boxy for a normal medium and had it tailored. Price is the most consistent objection, with reviewers calling it high and noting the value case depends on wearing pieces for years.
- Strengths
- Notably soft sweater-knit fabrics that owners report hold up well to regular wear.
- Watch out for
- High prices and a relaxed cut that some owners find large and boxy are the recurring complaints.
- Sizing
- Reports point to a true-to-size but slightly relaxed cut; some owners find knits large and boxy in their usual size.
