Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Classic Raggwool Crew Sweater Regular

I bought the same sweater a year ago in another color and it was absolutely perfect. However, in the year sense it appears both the material & production quality has decreased significantly. Wool is way scratchier, the fit is super different (baggier than previous), and the knitting is worse (if I hold it up to the light, I can see right through!!). I noticed this when I tried on in the store and thought it was just a QA issue. Now that it's the same as what I bought - I see LLBean made changes.

Sorry, I really want to love an American brand with such great customer service, but this is so baggy for a small. Also the color was so blah. I would love LL Bean if they had extra small sizes or slim fits (preferably extra slim). I am 5,6 and 150 lbs. Is that so uncommon? Also, the restocking fee has me not want to take a risk ever again. Such kind and helpful representatives on the phone though.

This sweater is not the same quality as previous Raggwool sweaters that I have purchased from LL Bean. The wool is not as heavy in weight, and the sweater fits tighter than previous Raggwool sweaters that I have bought.

Too many imperfections on material/ manufacturing. 1 is ok to push on inside with wool, but 3 to 4 is not llbean usual quality.

Nice quality but entirely too large for the size I ordered - returned

Welcome to the new world: products less dense for a higher price. Use for 1-2 seasons rather than 10. Product picture has a man with t-shirt showing underneath for those disappointed in thickness. The calculation and deception overwhelm me as I give up hope while still keeping hope. I ordered this sweater cuz I thought it might be comparable to an old and beloved LL one. The US is now a minimal value maker of products, just enough!

Sizing is everything. I am an ordinary compact guy 5'9, 160, pretty fitand I could go swimming in the size Small. If you're a lumberjack you can probably find nice enough clothes here & the sweater is a handsome wool

The sweater was way to big and baggy for a medium and therefore I had to return it.

Expected a more substantial weight and weave. Its akin to how an afgahn is knitted, with a lot of air flowing through the weave. And the cut and drape is not complimentary, with a boxy look and rather pointy shoulder seams.

I purchased this sweater as I love to spend time outside in the colder months of the year, and thought that this would be a great, functional item to keep me warm. In terms of appearance, the sweater is absolutely perfect. However, this past weekend I spend about 3 hours outside in temperatures in the low 50s, and this sweater did next to nothing to cut the breeze, or to maintain heat. Long story short, if you are looking for a look this is the sweater for you, if you are looking for an item to keep you warm while outside you may want to look elsewhere.

Not even close to my older llbean Shetland Wool sweaters.

I have own wool sweaters from LL. Bean for 20 years and they still look perfect. BUT the ones I bought last year for my gf a I are definitely not on par with LL Bean reputation. They started pilling immediately, they are so much thinner and lighter than the old ones. What a shame. Never again buying from LL Bean

Seriously shrank and shed with following wash directions exactly. Maybe it would work with dry clean?? Returned. Don't think this material should be washed at all.

I bought this in June to wear in the Fall. The tag says lambs' wool made in Jordan. After six weeks it is covered with pills. It is warm and fits well, but I am 79 and have enough pills in my life.

Way to boxy and big, disappointing the way it sags and hangscan't wear the LG and im 5'11" 200lbs

Why is there Spandex in everything today? This sweater replaced one that was 20 years old. Nice sweater until I put it on and it clung to me like an electrostatic pith ball. Had to put my arms inside and stretch it out, only to have it snap back close to where it was. If this is progress and the future LL Bean clothing has taken a bad turn. GET RID OF YOUR SPANDEX FETISH!!!!!

The current edition of this classic doesn't match up to previous purchases. Just weeks into my wearing it it's looking like a ratty old work sweater for getting wood into the house in.

It's a shame that I was lied to twice about when the item would ship. My child is by themself across the country and this was what they wanted. So disappointed in a company that used to be so reliable.

Not what I ordered. I ordered the Commando Sweater in Small and you sent this other model in XL?!

It's going to Goodwill. Bottom ribbing flares out, like a little tutu, because of the way it is knit and the fabric.

I purchased this sweater for my husband for Christmas. The colour is nice and I love the fact that there are tall sizes offered (he's 6'2"). Sadly, the sweater went back because it is SO ITCHY. And I don't even have sensitive skin. I even tried it with a shirt underneath and it was still itchy! I don't understand why these sweaters are even made. Don't the designers make sure the wool isn't itchy? I don't know if LL Bean used cheap wool or not because I have 100% wool sweaters from other retailers and they aren't itchy at all. I returned the sweater for a refund.

I bought this sweater, assuming it would be of good quality. My husband wore it, the pilling immediately started and the sweater is not appropriate to wear anyway but in the backyard. Will never buy another product from L.L. Bean

Ordered two sweaters one was received. The other was bot available. But LL Bean charged both sweaters on my credit card. O credit issued as of yet for the second sweater. Will notify the cc card company for refund!-. Very dissatisfied!

When you open package, be very thorough on your inspection. The last several times I have ordered these, they were full of holes and sewing defects. Hold item up to well lit window and look for the holes. Quality has gone away from LLBEAN. I sent my LLBEAN Credit Card back to them along with their sweaters.

The sweater shrank at least 2 sizes. Very dissapointing for LL Bean.
