Kari Traa my new favorite brand!
Kari Traa clothes are always flattering and I can count on the size being accurate. I'm 5'5 123 lbs and I buy M because I like loose sweaters. Also the colors are great!

Nice design, fabric not durable
Liked the fit and softness, but main design area wool was quite flimsy. Nice pattern and colors, but the sides and sleeve panel fabric is even more thin and sheer where my skin tone and bra were clearly visible. Fabric threads began to fray upon first wearing and appeared to have holes. Disappointing for the full price I paid. Returned.

See through

Cute pattern and feels nice, however you can see your sports bra through the shirt. I purchased the navy blue color in a medium. I'm 5'8" and 155lbs athletic build.

Great Base Layer

Murk is a really nice soft green color. I purchased the XL but May return as it is a bit big.

It feels prickly and comfortable!?

It feels prickly when you wear it.I don’t is the material cause? Or should use special way to wash ? But design let you look sharp!

In love!

I adore this shirt, it's warm and wears well. It fits true to size and is perfect! I get compliments every time I wear it, and love telling people that's a female designer.
