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

Nothing wrong with the sweater (I own the blue ragg version), but the color was awful, I thought. Red Heather Ragg is not very red at all. I have returned it.

The size guide was nowhere close for my 6'3, 240'pound body. I bought the XL Tall, which was something close to a skirt. I then bought the XL which also was too long. So now I have close to 1,000 dollars in unwearable stock that I need to return. Hopefully I can return everything with no problem. The sweaters do look great though when I am not wearing them.

I've worn this sweater for about 6 years. I'm disappointed because the elbow wore out. Yes. That's right. It was my favorite sweater until the right elbow wore out without provocation under nothing except normal wear. So not happy with that. Not recommended for long term "Favorite Sweater" designation for that reason.

Perfect size and fit. Great looking sweater. BUT, smells like chemicals. Probably dye. Eyes burned and coughed when trying on. Will return. Disappointing.

This sweater looks like it would be a nice warm sweater. However, it smells so bad, I can't imagine wearing it. I washed it to try and remove the smell. I laid it out on the dining room table to dry. It made the whole house stink. I don't know what they treated this wool with, but I will be returning this stink bomb.

Just received this sweater and it stinks. The odor will gag you when you open the bag.

My other ragg wool sweaters have NEVER smelled like this. I thought if I put it through the wash it might kill the smell...uh...I don't recommend that...fuzz went all over the washing machine. I gave up and threw it out. I want to order another ragg wool sweater but I'm worried it could smell the same. Who ever heard of a sweater 'smelling'??? I've never had this problem, from LL Bean, before. It was unfortunate. The fit was too large and too long for a medium, I was wondering if I had gotten a Tall by mistake, but it was a Regular. I would suggest ordering down a size.

When I took this sweater out of the mailing package, I was hit by a strong chemical odor. I let the sweater air out for a day, but to no avail. It is manufactured in China and is clearly treated with incredibly strong and pungent chemicals. I put the sweater on, but could wear it for only a few moments due to the smell. It's a nice-looking sweater, but for your health, do not order it.
