I was able to try the Post Chaturanga Pullover on today and actually went home with the gray one. It has a roomy fit through the body but the arms are snug. I wore my Don't Hurry Be Happy so I could compare sherpa fleece to sherpa fleece and I definitely think the PCP is made of sherpa fleece - the inside is super soft. I think what may be throwing people off is that the PCP has rather large side panels of ribbed rulu which makes this pullover less weighty than the DHBH. Most of the photos I've seen have the collar styled straight up when zipped all the way, which makes it as comfortable as wearing an upside down lampshade since it's so stiff (and forget about replicating that cute crumpled look the web model has) but I think it's pretty cute when folded over. I ended up sizing down in this for a more fitted look but if you want to layer a thicker top underneath, like a Turn Around LS, or just like the boyfriend-style look then stick with your normal jacket size. I won't have a ton of room to layer something underneath, a thin rulu or swiftly long sleeve at most. I haven't fully figured out what to wear this for yet. Of course, I can always use warm tops for watching my kids play soccer but my plan is to use this more as an extra warm top rather than an outer layer.

I'm really not fond of the the rulu sides. I wore this home from hot yoga, and the cold wind blew straight through. Kinda defeats the purpose of the thick fleece.
That looks great on you. I wasn't remotely interested in it until I saw your pics. I think it's partly bc I like the way you folded the color down. You make it look good!
I agree with 10:12 AM, you do make it look good. I am the one who previously had said that the collars are too huge. Now I really like it, but what is up with the 100% polyester. Which part is that LLA?
I'm sure the fleece is 100% polyester. Contrast 1 is the rulu since it's nylon and I think contrast 2, the cotton, is the ribbon edging.
Thanks for the review. I personally always thought sherpa fleece was the kind that looked like an actual lambs coat - so it has a lot of texture to it. Thinking of LL Bean here where they have it on the inside of some of their fleece and sweat jackets. This looks more like a furry type of fleece but looks super warm! Just a little too masculine looking for me.
Dang it, now I want to try this on, too! Thought my wallet was safe ;)
I'd rather have a Patagonia fleece than this thing.
LLA do you think this pullover will be released in more colors?
5:44 I completely agree with you and Patagonia has some really nice clors right now.

LLA, you are rocking that PO! Looking good, girl!
Hey, what is the name of the purple pants on the pic 11,12,13? Is it still on the louloulemon web? thanks:)
