The sweater is praised for its exceptional quality, warmth, and comfort. Many customers describe it as a classic, timeless design that is durable and practical for cold weather. However, some noted that it can run large and the neck opening may be too large for smaller frames. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall consensus is that the sweater provides excellent value and quality as a warm, comfortable, and long-lasting winter essential.
Very disappointed. The sweater was not very well
made and was too big.

Very glad that LLB is selling this sweater again. Fits well in size M. One slight potential improvement—the old version was darker navy blue.
