The Commando sweater is praised for its warmth, comfort, and classic style. Customers note the high-quality wool and flattering fit, with some preferring a more relaxed look by sizing up. The sweater is described as versatile and suitable for various outdoor activities in cold weather. While a few found it slightly itchy or the fit not quite right, the overall consensus is that this is an excellent, well-made wool sweater.
I bought this for a trip to Finland. This and a base layer along with my coat!!! Wonderful.
I wore it at least 4 times in 10 days and only changed the base layer.
The sleeves are

I like this sweater and its definite military vibe. I know that it’s wool, but I do hope that it softens up some after a few more washes. I love LLBean clothing and this is great.
