I'm so glad it's done. I blocked it before Jason tried it on and I stretched the sleeves a bit too much. I'll have to remember that when I wash it again.
The buttons are great! At first they looked like petrified wood but I think they are some kind of horn. You never really know what they will look like until they are on the garment. I was afraid that they would be too large but I think they are perfect.
Here are some others that inspired me:
Aren't they all just wonderful?

I love it! Great job - I can't imagine tackling a sweater for a man. I love the patches and your buttons!
Fantastic!! It looks like it will be well-loved by the wearer!
It looks fantastic! Way better than the one I knit in the same yarn -- I still haven't done the elbow patches 6 months later. Thanks for the link though. :)
Awesome!!! It turned out SO fantastic. And HEART those buttons!!
Gorgeous jacket, and great buttons!
Jarrett is amazing. V. v. manly. The buttons are just the right touch too.
I really believe this is a perfect go-to men's sweater. I love yours! Very well done.
This looks absolutely awesome! What a great pattern, and the yarn you've been using for it seems to be just the perfect one - and you've knitted it up so beautifully! I love the buttons too! Congratulations on a really great accomplishment!
this looks great! what a lot of stockinette to muscle your way through. buttons really suit the sweater. hope he loves it.
Nicely done, love the buttons and the elbow patches.
Love that! I have enough Rowanspun DK to make it. Must find that book! :)
I am working on this very sweater at this very moment with this very yarn. Serendipity. Yours looks lovely. Completed any other Vintage Knits?
