Hole in the armpit after two wears
Unfortunately I have to agree with the other reviews - it looks great but is now pretty useless as a base layer because there's a huge hole in the armpit!

Great at first
I want to give a fair review of this item as I have worn it almost everyday for about 5 months. I have a thin figure and I had no problems with the stitching or anything. I loved this item when I first got it. I would wear it out as a base layer for when I would go jogging out at night in Washington weather. It would keep me warm and I only had to wash it twice as wool is self cleaning and doesn't smell. I would wash it by hand. Over the last two months the material started to get holes in it. One under the armpit and smaller little holes started to show up all over slowly. I guess this means this is at the end of its life. I'm going to keep wearing it and sowing up holes as they come but this item won't last a year. For the price that I got for it I assumed more. I will try other workout tops from sweaty betty though as I did like this a lot. Maybe it was just my luck.

Holes after one wash!
Very stylish and so comfy. Having read reviews was extra careful re washing - placed it in a wash bag and put on a wool hand wash cycle. Despite all that there is a hole in the sleeve. Really disappointing

Wish I’d read the reviews!
Love the look of this product and bought it for skiing at Christmas which got cancelled. So wore it for dog walking and loved it. Have washed it once, with usual merino wool care (I have several other brands for base layers) and as per instructions the top has practically fallen apart. The quality is SO poor, really disappointing from Sweaty Betty.

Holes in the arms after wearing twice!
Bought these for my wife for Christmas and after skiing in them twice she found holes under both armpits. A really poor quality product. I’ve had merino wool tops last over ten years. Not what I expect for the price.

Really disappointed as it has holes in it.
Bought these as a ski base layer. After wearing it for a couple of days and 1 wash, the top developed a hole near my wrist.
Also bought the leggings and they have two holes in them. Both near the ankle. It is lovely and soft merino but unfortunately too fragile. I have had many other brands of Merino that I have had for years with no problem at all. Such a shame as I will have to take them back.

Really disappointing
Loved the look of this and feel first wear, it went after first wash (40deg) and after half a dozen wears now has holes I under the arms. Seems the blue merino wool is far stretchier that the thread used for the pattern. Intend to take back to the shop

Love this - but quality lets it down
I bought this for working at home after I fell in love with the pattern. I still love it and it's so comfy however minus points as - goes a bit 'raggy' after washing, and even with ironing doesn't look as good as I'd expect for the money. A thread has appeared on the back shoulder (not near a seam) that I have no idea how to fix, but I know not to pull it! Body came up small so went up a size, and therefore sleeves are long and a little baggy from forearm down. I still love the top, but disapointed as the quality isn't what I'd expect from SB or a top at this price.
