It was 2 am Christmas morning and I still had not found my 89 year old Dad a gift. Checked online for sweaters (he's always cold!) and found this. Reviewers said the lambswool took away the itch factor and they were right. This sweater is easy for him to put on (a major factor) and it is the perfect combination of lightness and warmth. He's thrilled and wears it all the time. Looks expensive, but it's amazingly low-priced for such great quality. My Dad is warm and cozy! Thanks, LL Bean!
