Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cotton Ragg Sweaters Open Cardigan Fair Isle

Lovely heavy weight sweater perfect for Fall. Might order in another color.

I love this bright and cozy sweater. It's perfect for this time of the year and I always get compliments when I wear it.

Love it. The heavy weight feels good on and I get tons of compliments. I'm a big fan. So far it hasn't been too cold yet but I've been pleasantly surprised as its comfort in warm weather and as temps drop. It's super cute and comfortable.

The sweater fits perfectly, is cozy,soft, keeps its shape after laundering. It does pill a bit under the arms but that's probably expected with yarn. Over all, a great garment

It's beautiful! It's warm and snuggly! It's just perfect for this fall weather! I love it! Friends have admired it! I will wear it often!

Very warm, and I love the colors in the blue tones. I'd suggest putting jewelry on after you put on the sweater as they may snag it. Well made, it fit me true to size.

Wonderful weight sweater, very well made, love the pockets

This sweater is gorgeous - I bought more than one! Warm, thick, high quality and good fit.

This sweater is warm, comfortable, and the quality is 100% L.L. Bean

Beautiful rich colors and pattern; nice pockets; cozy warm; but VERY heavy!

True to size and so warm! 5'9" 200ish lbs. So worth the wait!

Love this sweater! The fit is true to size and the colors are gorgeous. And it's cozy and warm!

If you are a person who has no patience for laundry - this sweater is not for you. It's very thick and took 2 whole days to flat dry out here in California. Don't you dare put it in the dryer either. It falls about mid-thigh. This is Not a hipster, mordern-cut garment. This is legit a gramma sweater but it's SO beautiful and warm and lovely. Sizing is gonna be a tough call with this one. If you want the sweater to be decently form-fitting: size down. You'll lose out on the sweater naturally closing on it's own though (see photos). But if you buy the larger size - you might feel like you're swimming in it. I've got a pretty flat tummy but you'll notice that where the pattern hits around the waist - it creates a slight optical illusion - just something to be mindful of. Other than that: the garment is stunning and I'm glad I bought it.

I bought the Vintage Indigo. Goes great with jeans, but with black slacks I could wear this just about anywhere. It's an all-purpose sweater. It's rather heavy, so I will get much use out of it in the fall, wearing it instead of a jacket sometimes. The fit is perfect. I turn the cuffs back, but then I do that with all of my sweaters, whether it's needed or not. This is now my "go to" sweater.

I love this sweater, and it fits me perfectly. I got the vintage indigo in a size small, and it is lovely. It is a heavier sweater, I mean heavier than your average cardigan, but that's what I was looking for. I read a review about it being too heavy, especially if you are looking for a sweater for an elderly person. It's not that heavy! I feel like the site description is spot on. I'm ready for cooler weather to wear it!

I'm in love with this sweater! It's like wearing a blanket and is so warm and comfortable! I wear it all the time and wish it came in more colors. I have two of them!!

This is a beautiful cardigan sweater. I love the fit, the fabric and the fair isle pattern. I think it will be a good wear for fall, winter and even into a cool,rainy spring. Have not yet worn it since we are currently in a summer heat wave.

I absolutely love this sweater!!!!! I got it in large because I wanted extra room to snuggle my sweater when I wear it!!!

I'm tall and love the tunic length tops. This is warm and cozy and looks great with jeans or my navy cords. All cotton so it's heavy but feels great on a chilly winter day in NH.

My daughter surprised me with this sweater and I absolutely love it. It is just beautiful -- and its warm and looks so nice. I have a few other of Bean's cardigan sweaters - even the other Fair Isle sweater in the harvest tones -- but the Bayside Blue is my favorite. You can't go wrong with these cardigans.

I don't have enough kind words about this cardigan. I love the fit, color, and quality. I usually don't pay full price, but I put this on and fell in love. I wear it with a white or burnt orange t-shirt and jeans.

I really love this sweater. The colors are great and it's very comfy. It's not super lightweight but not too heavy. They were out of Regular Sizes in the Large so I took a chance and ordered the Petite Large and it's definitely not too short on me. Definitely covers my bum which was my main concern. The sleeves may be a teeny bit short but I don't like overly long sleeves anyway! The petite hits slightly above mid-thigh on me and I'm around 5'5".

I love the fit. I love the colors. I'm a denim girl and this is a great match and just the right weight for fall.

I ordered this cardigan because I'd been looking for a long, open cardigan to wear in my house. I keep the temperature in my home during fall and winter at 67 degrees, so I have lots of warm clothing. The design of this cardigan attracted me. I love the colors. Though the price was a bit steep for me, I ordered anyway, as I couldn't find this length anywhere else. It's a bit heavy, but after a few minutes wearing this, I don't notice that. It's thick and warm, exactly what I wanted. The seam fits correctly on my shoulders, (no extra fabric or sagging) and fits properly on my arms (neither loose or tight). There's room to layer a tee shirt or blouse underneath. I've worn this a few times when running errands, but mostly I wear at home. I haven't washed this yet, but when I do, I plan to wash on gentle and dry on low setting. I'm hoping it won't shrink.

Not only is this sweater beautiful, it is so incredibly cozy and warm. It feels like wearing a weighted blanket and I love that.
