This turtleneck fits perfectly and is soft with a sharp black color (I hope it won't fade after multiple washings, but with 2 so far it's been good!). I ordered small for the first time (have lost some weight) and it fits close to the body, which I like. Nice-looking layered under a colorful cardigan and/or with a bright scarf!
I ordered one, then three more. All monogrammed. The cotton is soft and luxurious, the monogram dresses it up, with a cardigan or by itself. I wear these with skirts, shorts, jeans, dress slacks. You can have the monogram which appears on the turtle neck peek out from a colorful scarf and you are good to go for anything. This is a staple for me for cold, cool and warm weather. Layered or not. I am 5'6" and 124 and small fit me perfectly, on the nose of measurements.
After a few months, this turtleneck shrunk in overall length and in the length of the arms, to the point where the arms fell above my wrists (and I'm only average height). But, the width didn't change, so a larger size would be too big. Fortunately, LL Bean's accepted my late return, which I appreciated.
Have to say I've been disappointed for awhile now with Bean's pullover tops, and this turtleneck is no exception. They are all too short in the body and are difficult to keep tucked in. Even if I don't want to tuck it in, the amount of overlap between the bottom of the shirt and the top of my pants is inadequate. I thought I'd give it one more shot and try one of these turtlenecks, but same problem, so I'm going to look elsewhere for pullover tops in the future. That said, the material is nice and comfortable, just wish the fit were. If you have a short torso, these may be fine. Any recommendation to a friend would be very conditional.
