Color and texture and warmth are great. As a "small" person with regard to sizes, was glad to find the sweater fit snuggly around shoulders neck and waste, but the arms are very long and cover my hands and the torso goes down past my butt. The size "S" should stand for "stick" and not "small".
I now own two of these... incredibly warm and comfortable. Considering a third. Perfect on cool Fall or Winter days, and very effective when used as a layer under a jacket. Highly recommended.
I love the look of this sweater, and received one as a Christmas gift. The sweater seems to be made of quality materials. Usually, I can rely that LL Bean sizes are realistic-XL means it fits a pretty big guy. However, this sweater was like a sausage skin, extremely tight and uncomfortable. I did not return it, but gave it to a buddy who is 5' 11" and about 170 lbs, and it fits him pretty much perfectly. Anyway, be aware of the sizing, or see if you can try one on in-store before buying.
My husband wanted the military wooly pully, like he had when he was in the service. As those are rather difficult to find, and even harder to find new, I purchased LLBean's version. He LOVED it! I'd heard that these sweaters run small, so I was a little worried about the size. But it fit beautifully and was exactly what he wanted.
