What customers say:

Customers overwhelmingly praise this sweater for its exceptional comfort, timeless design, and remarkable durability. The soft, lightweight fabric feels cozy yet warm year-round, with many noting it holds its shape wash after wash and resists staining. The classic cable knit and button-down style transition seamlessly from work to casual settings, earning loyal repeat buyers who've owned the same style for decades. Most appreciate the natural cotton construction and thoughtful proportions. A few mention the weight as heavy or note minor fit inconsistencies, but these concerns are far outweighed by overall satisfaction and strong recommendations.

Well made through the years for this classic.
Beautiful, soft sweater. A true LL Bean classic! I am between a medium and large and I bought a medium. I feel it runs a little large and am glad that I bought the medium.
