This sweater is 100% LL Bean quality. It fits perfectly and isn't too bulky. The zipper closure is first-rate and can add to the versatilty of the sweater so you can wear it for a quick outdoors chore. I am totally pleased.
The women's sweaters at LLB are just not as sturdy as they have been in the past. I bought this sweater for myself. I wear an LLB women's med or large. I bought this in medium because I wanted it to fit at my hips. It is tailored for a man-so, broad in the shoulders, and narrow at the waist. Comfortable, breathable wool that kept me warm on a windy cold day. I love the classic lines-I can wear this for years.
I bought the sweater as a gift . The recipient liked it so much , I just ordered him another one . Large enough to layer comfortably , but not bulky . Toasty warm .
