Dehen zip sweater - show 'em

[Cornelius]

I picked up the Aero paratrooper sweater about 3 weeks ago.Very nice! I'm a size 40 and ordered a size 2. Perfect fit on me.

What's the arm length like on the Aero Paratrooper sweaters? I'm a size 40L and worry the sleeves on a Size 2 sweater would be too short.

I'll measure when I get home and get that measurement to you in a few hours.

I have small hoodie showing from Dehen today or tomorrow. I'll let you know how it fits. I won't have my other sweater back in a small for another week or so.

The small hoodie fit like their jackets do and not like their sweaters so an S was too small. I assumed it would fit similar but it did not fit large like the size M cardigan did. I'll have to do an exchange.

The hoodie is satin lined so it does not stretch with movement like a regular sweater would.

I'll let you known when the cardigan shows up and do a size comparison.

There is no shoulder to measure from, so I measured the sleeves like a dress shirt - starting in the middle of the back collar. 32 inches. I also measured under the armpit to the end of the sleeve - 18 inches. The sleeves don't fold back, so that is the total length. I'm 5'9 and it is perfect on me - doubtful to work on a 40L.

Dehen quality is top notch. I have a several year old Shawl cardigan that's amazing. Picked up the 1/4 zip Moto Jersey this year and love it. As has been mentioned, they run a bit large. It's more of a traditional fit vs. modern slim fit. For reference, it's not an ultra-soft, wear against the skin type of wool. Not overly coarse just durable, able to handle the elements.

Sad news to hear, but thanks so much for bothering to measure. Saved me a bundle there!
