Good to see them make a return. I've been trying to get the vest and long sleeve sweater off the list here and now have one of each(yeah). My only gripe is the fact the the old last version was knit off center! The pockets were not centered and the cardigan was a mess with the buttons centered on my chest at the top but the bottom of the sweater had the buttons at my right hip. Hope there is quality control on this batch!
