I love wearing sweatshirts in the fall and winter, but I always have a hard time buying ones that fit because I am kind of a smaller guy -- 5 feet 6, 140 pounds. So most small or medium sweatshirts are bigger and baggier than they are supposed to be. These LL Bean sweatshirts, in a size small, fit me perfectly and I couldn't be happier with them. I bought 3: Red, navy, and green (but I think the official color names are described differently in the catalog). The first time I wore one of them out to drink some beers with friends, someobdy made a comment to me about how nice it looked and how well it fit.
My husband loves them lives in them. The mountain red was shedding some red pile to the white shirt worn underneath but that disappeared after a couple washings. More colors please.
My husband is wearing it now and it looks great. LL Bean is one of few places to buy a long (tall) sweatshirt that isn't too big across the shoulders and waist. It is proportioned correctly. We've washed it a couple times now and it still looks new.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, has a feel of quality, rugged yet stylish
This is a very comfortable, durable and nice looking garmet. And based upon my having owned and enjoyed several of these in the past, these qualities are superior to any other that I have tried. They are of a heavier and more durable material than any others that I have found.
