Clean Cut Copenhagen Full Zip Fernando Cardigan In Navy Size: L (Fits Slim or M)

Although not on the tag- I believe that this is a "slim fit" sweater. I usually wear a large but this was too tight for my big gut. I'm 5' 8'' this hits above the hips slightly below the waist which was what I was looking for (nothing too long) but unfortunately it was too tight for me. Might even fit a medium nicely.

Size on tag: Large 20" from armpit to armpit. 17" across the shoulders. 24.5" from shoulder to cuff. 23" from the bottom of the collar to the hem.
