View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise these cardigans for timeless, classic design and exceptional quality that lasts for years. The cable knit construction, all-cotton material, and button-down crewneck appeal across seasons. Reviewers consistently note the soft, cozy comfort, true-to-size fit with longer sleeves and hem, and versatility from early fall through spring. The substantial weight and durable construction resist pilling and staining while holding shape through repeated washing. A few mention preferring a lighter knit for warmer months, and some note sizing variations, but most consider these wardrobe staples worth the investment.

I bought both the Regular and Petite in a medium, and they are the same size. There is nothing smaller in the Petite sweater. Beyond disappointing.

Well made through the years for this classic.
Beautiful, soft sweater. A true LL Bean classic! I am between a medium and large and I bought a medium. I feel it runs a little large and am glad that I bought the medium.
