I purchased this Everlane Cotton Long Sleeve Crew quite awhile ago, thus unfortunately most of the size and colors are currently gone (well this pink one is gone-gone but you can sign up for the waitlist on the other colors). So I apologize for waiting so long to review this. I've tried many Everlane sweaters over the years (just take a look at the sweater section of this post), and lately a lot of them have been a no-go for me. But I do have to say this cotton long sleeve crew is one of my favorite sweater styles to come from Everlane, and it's because even though it doesn't look cropped on their website it actually is slightly. It's the perfect length! Also, the crew sweater isn't large and baggy unlike their Soft Cotton Square Crew (I've tried enough square styles from Everlane to know that it just doesn't do my petite frame any favors). I really love the fitted and shorter length of this regular cotton crew (I'm wearing a size small here).
Wearing: Everlane cotton long sleeve crew, Coach belt (similar here), Mott & Bow jeans (reviewed here), Everlane Modern loafer mules, Hermes Lindy 30 (similar here)
Also the cotton material of this sweater is super soft and stretchy. It almost seems too stretchy so I'm sure that's why they recommend hand-washing and laying flat to dry. And come to think of it, this is probably the softest cotton sweater I've tried from Everlane so far (of course their cashmere is the softest sweater).
This cotton sweater is the perfect transitional piece between seasons, and though this pink color probably works better for spring rather than fall I don't mind. When the temperatures start falling, I look forward to layering this under a bomber jacket, which I'll be able to do because of the slightly cropped length. I love it so much I'm thinking of getting it again in the khaki green color when it restocks (in Feb!). But until then I'll cherish this pink one I have.

Feb 2018 update: They're back guys after being gone all winter! I just purchased the khaki one and the navy/white striped one. The khaki one isn't here yet but the I've been wearing the navy/white striped one and it's bigger than this pink one even though they're both smalls. The new cotton sweaters are slightly more oversized than the original. I could never wear this pink one with low rise jeans since it'll show my midriff but this navy/white one doesn't
Also I'm going to have to say I can't attest to the quality of these sweaters. This is all the loose threads after several months of light wear:
I swear I'm not like brushing up again barb wire or anything. This is from usual wear and tear but I think the cotton threads on these might not be the best quality.
Anyway we'll see how this navy/white striped one fares but I just wanted to give y'all the full picture here. Anyone else have issues with these cotton long sleeve crews?
{Nov update: So I ended up donating this sweater because I couldn’t handle all the loose threads and purchased the navy/white one, which I did a separate review of here because it was a totally different sweater. Same name but different in size, shape, and quality. The second batch was made much better and I haven’t had any quality issues with it. This is the batch that is currently on sale here.}
