Merino Wool Crew Sweater
About COS’s sweaters: COS knitwear leans architectural and substantial — its merino and wool-blend sweaters use a heavier gauge and design-led cuts at a mid-premium price.
Is the price honest?
Good value at $89 for a heavier, design-led merino — a step up from budget wool in weight and cut. Reviewers note fit consistency varies, but the heft and aesthetic justify the price.
Our take
COS makes the design-led, substantial merino sweater a lot of minimalists default to — a heavier gauge than high-street knits with a clean, architectural cut. Owners praise the weight and the considered silhouette. Reviewers say it's a genuine step up from $50 merino in heft and design, with the caveats that the boxy/oversized cuts are divisive and quality has been slightly less consistent in recent years. When you get a good one, it's a premium-feeling knit for the price.
