Customers overwhelmingly praise this sweater for its exceptional quality, soft premium cotton, and timeless cable knit design. Most highlight the flattering V-neckline, ideal weight, and versatile styling with casual and dressed-up outfits. Many appreciate its durability and anticipate wearing it for years. However, a notable concern is inconsistent sizing—the sweater runs large and boxy, requiring many customers to size down unexpectedly. Despite sizing frustration, most reviewers rate it highly, indicating quality and style outweigh fit challenges. A few mention sleeves running long or preferring lighter weight, but these are isolated concerns.
Love this sweater haven't had a chance to wear it yet it's been too hot but the length is just perfect and it just is so soft and comfortable I can't wait to wear it I think I'm go

Too big
I keep looking for clothes that will fit me. LL Bean MEDIUM was my size. Now even extra small is way too large for me.

Best LL Bean Sweater in a long time!,
Used for: Casual or Every Day
Best sweater I have seen come through LL Bean in a long time. It’s so hard to find a good v neck and the quality is outstanding! I will admit sizing is not consistent and I have on

Great classic sweater that runs large
Used for: Casual or Every Day
This is a great sweater. The material is soft and it has a nice "give". I took off a star because of sizing. I followed the size guide, and it ended up being a size too large. Bein

It’s a good looking cotton sweater but it is already too big even though I had ordered the smallest size possible.
I need to send it back by ups and no shipping form was included…n

Great sweater!
Used for: Casual or Every Day
I love this sweater. The longer length (I don’t like anything cropped) and the V is not too low. The weight is perfect for cooler days. I machine washed it and it came out great.

Great sweater, but runs large.
Used for: Relaxing, Casual or Every Day
Excellent quality and material. It has very large arm length, and is large overall. It said slightly fitted, but I didn't find that. I will return for a smaller size.
