Very impressed with this sweater. Ordered the deep loden and the color is perfect and goes with several of my other Bean shirts (long and short sleeve). The wool is soft not scratchy to skin and size was spot on. Really like the buttons they give a added panche over just regular plastic ones. Added perk is washable not dry clean!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MegaBean4568 Great gift for your lad
I ordered this as a Christmas gift and he loves it. I ordered it in the Russet color, in a Large Tall. It fits him perfectly and looks great & handsome! I assume it's also warm, as he'll go out in it alone without a coat. The russet color is beautiful and soft to cuddle against. I would definitely recommend it and purchase it again if I could.

I received this item as a gift sometime last year and have used it several times. It kept me very warm for layering during a recent trip to Europe.
As a quality comparison note, I found two LL Bean cardigans of the same type from years ago. From the other items in the box, they must be close to 10 years old. Both were marked Made in Scotland. When I compared the old and the new, the only defect from the new is rather small button holes so its hard to button and unbutton.
Frankly I would prefer to have simple matched buttons rather than the thick basket weave but then I can always change them.

Somewhat lightweight yet the tight weave creates a surprisingly warm cardigan that's greatly cozy and soft. I'm 6' 5", 234 pounds. The "tall" sweater fits as though perfectly tailored for me.
Seams are smooth and sturdy. The button holes are properly sized for the very attractive, seeming leather, buttons (extra one furnished.) The two pockets in front are nicely ample and return to flat if stretched, say, all day. The russet color is rich and attracts regular compliments. Simply, I couldn't be more pleasantly satisfied with my fine lambswool cardigan.

This knit is very thin. Advertised as "English" wool, English it may be, but quality it is not.

This is a wonderful sweater, fit and finish are great. I only have 2 issues that were in question, the buttons and the thickness. If you are looking for a dense wool this is not it, but if you want thinner (and I did) this should work. Second are the buttons, not the design, but the longevity of the buttons. Leather buttons can be ruined by dry-cleaning fluid, and they are not sewn on very well. LLBean, please import next years from Scotland with horn buttons!

I really think this is a great sweater--it's well-made and warm. I would recommend that the buttons be a little smaller, as they are difficult to get through the button holes.
