I think the reason Riv dropped them is the original manufacturers (as I understand a couple working literally out of a cottage in rural Englad) retired. Presumably Riv found a new manufacturer so prior sizing will be no guide. For what it is worth my Woolywarm Cardigan is larger than I expected. Not a problem as I can wear it over a a shirt and light sweater on winter nights with my thermostat at 55.
