I ordered this hoodie in "sweet pea" the very first day i received the catalogue..and i have hardly taken it off since receiving it.I love the softness inside and out, and i love the fit.I find too may hoodies are more masculine looking than i like, but this one fits me perfectly.I wear it to work frequently and always get asked where i bought it.I was afraid to wash it, but have now washed it twice and just thrown it in the dryer and still looking brand new with no shrinkage!!i would but one in each colour if i could.
I love the hoodie. It is lightweight but withstands wind and cold temperature. Wore it the first time in cloudy and windy 40 degree weather and stayed very warm and comfortable. Giving one to my daughter for Christmas.
I ordered this for my Mom after she raved about the one I ordered for my son. He wears a blue one to school as his uniform jacket because it is so much better than anything else you will find. Anyway, she loves it. The cotton is ultra-soft (how do they do it?) and the lining is wonderfully soft itself. This may be the best thing LL Bean sells!
