This sweater is the be all end all of sweaters. If you are looking for a traditional, turbo functional sweater, here it is. I wear this guy in all sorts of weather and it keeps me warm and dry every time. This isn't flimsy at all.
I'm a woman, normally wears petite S or regular S. I got this size S for myself. I used to wear this sweater when I was a student many years ago. After that, LLBean stopped selling this. So, I was so gald to see this again. As someone says, its material is different and little bit thin compare to before. Actually, Mens size S is lttle bit bigger for Petite woman, but do love this sweater.
I just received this sweater in a size XXL in red/blue. First of all the wool is fantastic - densely knit and solid with vibrant colors. Its European pedigree shows, as it is very well made. The XXL is not loose and baggy, but definitely made for a trimmer body type. I'm tall (6'3") but the length is acceptable. Above that you would need a Tall size. I feel that this is a great sweater and worth the extra cost versus a lesser priced China import - which really lose their shape after a couple of wearings.It's a warm garment.
