A short sleeve crewneck sweater in a fine gauge knit, made from a blend of nylon, acrylic, viscose and a little wool. It is meant for office days, travel and weekends, and it asks for a laundry bag in the wash rather than much fuss.

The listing describes a fine gauge knit with a smooth handfeel and a softly structured finish. The fabric content is 45% nylon, 30% anti pilling acrylic, 20% viscose and 5% finer wool. So wool is a small part, and most of the fabric is nylon, acrylic or viscose.

The shape is a classic crewneck with short sleeves and a softly elastic hem. The listing says it drapes without looking boxy, and it suggests wearing it with tailored trousers, skirts, blazers or denim. Sizing runs XS for US 0 to 2 up to XXL for US 20 to 22, with S at 4 to 6, M at 8 to 10, L at 12 to 14 and XL at 16 to 18. Choose your usual size if you want a comfortable, loose fit. If you are under 5 feet 4 inches, the listing suggests sizing down for a neater fit.

It is described as light enough for warm days and easy to pack, and as something to wear alone in spring and summer, then under a blazer or light outerwear in fall. For care, the listing says to machine wash in a laundry bag to reduce friction and help prevent pilling. It does not state a fabric weight, a drying method or the sleeve length in inches, and it is imported. How polished it looks is a matter of taste.
