The LL Bean Donegal sweatshirt is praised for its softness, warmth, and cozy feel. Customers describe it as soft, cozy, and warm. The sweatshirt is also seen as stylish and versatile, suitable for both casual and dressy wear. However, there are some mixed reviews regarding the fit, particularly the tightness or discomfort of the funnel neck. Additionally, a few customers noted the sweatshirt running large or small in certain areas. Despite these fit issues, the majority of customers seem very satisfied with the high-quality fabric and construction of the sweatshirt.
The garment was poorly constructed Which is disappointing from LL Bean.

I was disappointed in the fit of this sweatshirt. It felt tight aound my neck. It was even difficult to pull my head through the neck of the shirt. It completely messed up my hair.

It's a very warm and comfortable pullover. The fabric washes nicely and keeps its shape.

No Donegal
Fit: True to size
I returned this because it said it was a donegal type knit but was actually solid brown. I have this same top in two other colors where the donegal effect is noticeable.

Unfortunately this product did not work out for me after being so excited to purchase it. While it fit overall through my broad shoulders and long arms, it did not lay well at all

The idea was good but the execution didn't work
Weight: 170-180 lbs
Height: 5'2"
Size Purchased: XX-Large
Fit: True to size
The idea of white flecks in the black/blue material sounded classy and attractive. But in reality, the shirt I got looked like it was covered in lint. The flecks were not obvious

Funnelneck sweatshirt
Fit: True to size
Color is beautiful, funnelneck is just enough to keep you warm in winter and it’s an ample fit. Not baggy, but not tight-fitting, either.
