Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Signature Cotton Fisherman Tunic Sweater

I love this sweater. As a matter of fact, I loved it so much I bought the same one for my daughter! It fits beautifully and is perfect for our western New York winters.

I purchased this sweater for my daughter. She loved it! She wore it on Christmas Day and it looked great on her. Nice tunic length to wear with leggings. Beautiful color (light blue), quality excellent as always!

I have this sweater in three colors now-which normally I would find boring...but, not in this case! This sweater is truly a classic (but with the side, zip-vents is more interesting than "usual") and will most likely not only be wearable forever for that reason, but also because it is very well made. I like the longer length which gives it a lot of wearability styling-wise, and also that the sweater is quite heavy in weight, yet because it is cotton, is not itchy. The neckline is wide, rather like a bateau/boat style, which is flattering and offers many options for layering other clothing underneath. I am very pleased with this item and recommend it highly.

I love this sweater. It fit well, not too tight nor too baggy (i had long sleeve tee under). The length is perfect; I like how it dips in front and back. Cotton is soft/not itchy. Been looking for this type of sweater for awhile but others were too short or too bulky...so happy as I think it is perfect.

I absolutely love this sweater! It is long and has zippers on the sides around your hips and fits like a tunic, and is comfy and warm and I want it in every color! My only quest now is to find th perfect shirt to layer it with.

very warm and I especially like the longer length; most tunic length tops are not long enough for me

Love this sweater. Chic, with a side zipper. Excellent length, a little longer which is just what I was looking for. I'd highly recommend it!

Got this from my kids for Christmas and I love it. It's actually long enough for me. Might be too long for a short person. Feels good, looks good and very versatile.

This sweater was a gift from our daughter's wishlist. She said it was her absolute favorite. This fit is perfect. She is generally a S/M but opted to put M on her wishlist. It gives her a bit more layering-room. She loves the details of the side zippers and the quality of the cotton knitting. Will definitely be purchasing other colors for her soon.

When my sweater arrived it was beautiful, but I wasn't sure about the color I'd chosen - the 2-tone off-white traditional and teal, it looked different on a smartphone screen - but once I put the sweater on, I LOVED it. The knit is wonderful, perfect weight, even softer than most, and does NOT feel heavy and bulky, as if I'm wearing body armor, like some cotton sweaters I've owned. I layer it with LLBean mock/turtlenecks, perfect for winters in the foothills of SoCal with the cool, rainy/slushy snow mixture; or with a down vest for Spokane snow when going in and out of doors, when it's cold outside but shops and businesses tend to overheat the interiors, and cotton that breathes is necessary. The sweater's shape is very figure-flattering, accentuating our curves, while detracting from those awkward places we all want to hide (or wish away, really), and the side zippers change the look entirely. My 4 daughters all tried it on as well, and it looked amazing on each of their very different figures. One additional comment: I have broad shoulders [competitive swimmer age 5-forever??, long distance butterfly explains the body shape] a long torso and almost ridiculously long arms, I discovered and trust LLBean to have clothing items that fit, and this sweater is no exception.

This is an absolutely beautiful sweater. The medium fit me perfectly. The color is a classic beige and goes with everything. It's a very heavy sweater, but I love the intricacy of the design and it keeps me warm.

Love cable sweaters. This is perfect and cozy for either work or out and about.

The color was spot on with what you could see online and the quality impeccable. Everyone at work raved about it and loved the side zippers. It is flexible and fabulous and can be worn about everywhere! Thank you for keeping your styles fresh.

This sweater is not cheap but it is very heavy and well made and keeps me warm when I travel up north during the winter. The cut is flattering and the detailing of the two zippers at the hips is very stylish. I am 5'9" and broad in the shoulders; I wear a size 16 in jeans. I recently purchased an LLBean coat and got a 1X, which fit me well. So, I went with the XL size for this sweater. It fits perfectly. I wanted the honey color but it was sold out and so I got the brown instead. It's lovely. This was a great purchase as I know I'll have the sweater for a very long time.

This one is a keeper!

It's a very comfortable, washable heavier weight cotton that can be worn in almost any weather (perhaps inappropriate for extreme heat and humidity). The style is also adaptable for all but very formal dress situations.

This sweater does run large. Nice fit, little heavy because well made. Have purchased 4 different colors. Like that it is long in the back, great for leggings and classic

Fabric is super comfortable! I would personally like slightly longer sleeves though.

I ordered two of this sweater - one for me and one for my mom. Hers was a little small (my fault), so she returned it for a larger size. I was a little worried the large might be a little too small, especially since I'm 6 months pregnant. It was actually too big, even being pregnant! But that gives me room to "grow" into it for the rest of my pregnancy this winter. The side zippers, loose middle, and tunic length make this a perfect sweater for pregnancy! For others, I'd recommend sizing down. I'll probably buy a medium next fall/winter for a more flattering non-maternity fit. It's also super warm and cozy. I can wear this with a tank or long sleeve t-shirt (colder days with more wind) and not need a coat. The heavy cabled cotton stays relatively dry, even when out in snow or a little rain. Super excited to wear this on my bump this winter and twin with mom at Christmas!

If you are looking for a great, heavy cable knit sweater, look no further. I love my hoodies and regular sweaters to fit big and baggy, but you DO Not want this sweater to fit that way. This sweater has serious weight to it. I ordered an XSmall after reading numerous reviews and I normally buy medium or large in hoodies and this size fits PERFECT, granted I did try it on over my scrub top so it will fit better with just a thin tank top on under it. I'm 5'3 and 140 and jiggly in my midsection. My bra size is 36B and waist is 30-31" for those of you that are scouring reviews wondering about fit. I hope this review helps and happy hunting.

I love this sweater - nice and long to wear with leggings or jeans. Comfortable and not itchy. Love the side zippers too!

Purchased as gift. Recipent "loved" it . Perfect fit.

Love this cotton sweater. Nice weight, nice color. Haven't washed it yet, so don't know if it fades. The medium fits me nice with a little room to move, which means it runs large - I'm typically a large. I originally purchased the large, but it was huge on me. I am ever so glad they still had the color I wanted in the size I needed when I returned it. My new favorite sweater.

This sweater is beautifully made. I ordered a medium and if fit, but it was not flattering for my body type. I wanted something looser. I decided to exchange it for a large and I like it very much. It's a long sweater and will look good with slim pants or tights. Don't hesitate to buy it!

This is my favorite cold weather sweater. It does fit a bit looser than I expected, but I don't mind at all, I prefer my warm sweaters to be more cozy, rather than tight. This is the warmest sweater I own, and I'm picking out more right now. Because it's multi layer cotton rather than cashmere, etc. It does have a rougher texture, but I definitely credit that for making it warmer. I'm 5'6, 112lbs, a bit busty, and I have an XS. Could probably fit an XXS, but will stick with XS in future as I like the looser fit!
