I am returning the sweater - the sleeves are about 6" longer than they should be - and the body also is too long. I've been wearing almost exclusively Bean clothes for years, so I know the large size is right for me. This sweater is an anomaly.
I love this sweater. Nice weight of material and it works well in ever changing temperatures. I was looking for a robust sweater to wear while doing work around the house moving in and out between the inside and outside, and this sweater is it. I admit I broke down and didn't hand wash it but threw it in the front loader and let it dry flat. No problem!
