I have had a number of Fat Face sweaters for my family over the years in various fabrics. They always fit well, look good and mist importantly for me, they wash well.I have had no loss of colour, shrinkage or bobbling. I can't comment on the durability of this sweater because I haven't had it long enough, however, I have been buying the same sort of thing from this brand for about 5 years and have never had a problem.
