Looking for a nice blue wool sweater
Hello,
Looking for a nice well made wool sweater. Preferably $200 or less.
I saw this one: https://www.rei.com/product/123756/fjallraven-lada-sweater-mens
But a lot of people are saying it shrinks after a single wash so I’m looking for other options and recommendations if possible.

Shrinking is related to heat, if you cold wash air dry it shouldn't be shrinking. But also any wool sweater can shrink, that's just wool for ya
banana republic has a bunch of options within your budget
I cold wash all my clothes but a few of the reviews I saw were saying even with a cold wash it shrank so I was worried
I don’t usually have much sleeve length to spare lol
Naadum might have some interesting options at that price point. They are mostly known for their $98 cashmere sweater
Thanks I’ll look at them
As far as the shrinking goes: wool sweaters I tend to hand-wash in woolite and block-dry to keep the shape. Even in cold water the agitation on a machine cycle isn't ideal.
