The LL Bean cotton sweater is generally well-received, with many customers describing it as high-quality, comfortable, and versatile. The majority of reviewers are satisfied with the product, though some experienced issues with sizing and fit, such as the sweater being larger or longer than expected, or lacking elasticity in the sleeves or waistband. A small number of customers also reported quality concerns, like a hole in the fabric or the material being too thin. Overall, the sweater appears to be a popular choice for casual, everyday wear.
Very disappointed. Nice sweater, but the sleeves are much shorter than other LL Bean Tall L items. And the xl doesn't get you that much additional length. Sorry I had to pay for sh

Nice sweater
Size Purchased: Medium
Fit: True to size
Used for: Casual or Every Day
Bought this sweater as a holiday present for my husband and he loves it. It is comfy, warm and looks good. However, I think it would look better if the bottom was a little longer.

It’s a great material and texture, but the small I received is much more like a large. Maybe it stretches out too easily or something, but I think it’s just unfortunate sizing.

Unlike other LL Bean sweaters I have purchased - this medium fits like an extra large. This is unfortunate, as the color and quality are fine
