While the sweater looks exactly as pictured, colorwise, etc., and it fits well, the fabric itself looks cheap to me. However, I trust the LLBean name for quality and expect the sweater will perform as well as all of their other products do.
This is a very nice classic, stylish sweater, warm and not bulky. Fit it great. While I do really like this sweater, I find that it is not soft, as expected but rather a little scratchy.
The sweater looks great on...it is just a little bit itchy, but maybe with colder weather and a long sleeve shirt underneath that won't be a problem...still all in all a nice sweater that I will get a lot of use from.
