Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Midweight Cotton Slub Rollneck Pullover

I recently bought a second roll-neck sweater which was the same size as one I had already purchased a year ago. Both sweaters are Petite small and appear to be from the same manufacturer. (Both labels indicate the sweaters were made in Jordan.) For reference, I'm 5 ft, 103 lbs and normally wear a Petite XS, but deliberately chose to size up for layering. As you'll see in the attached before and after photos, the new sweater (indigo blue) had substantially longer sleeves and a somewhat larger body than the older navy blue sweater which had been washed previously.To get an idea of how much the sweater might shrink after washing and drying, as you can see in the second photo, the two sweaters are now roughly the same size!

Like this nice mid/lightweight cotton sweater that could be worn much of the year. The minimal gray is kind of gray/lavender, an uncommon color that matches many others. Bought a Petite XS and wish the sleeves were about 1/2" longer.

This is the second purchase of this sweater in a different color. It is light enough to wear in warmer weather and I can layer a shirt underneath if needed. The sweater is rather long on me since I am short waisted but not a deal breaker. The sleeves are long enough. I washed in a mesh bag in cold water and lay flat to dry.

I ended up with a small petite. It fits pretty good but next time I will order small. Thk\is my 2nd slub roll neck sweater --- great colors available. Thank you!

I prefer all cotton clothing which isn't always easy to find and I needed some new midweight tops for fall. This looked like it would work just fine and the color choices were to my liking. I have worn this and the blue version twice now and have received compliments on them. They are not overly warm or heavy but a nice weight for our temps in the 40s. I wash it in a net bag on delicate and lay it flat to dry. Wish it could be done in the dryer but it's not a big deal.

Satisfied with the quality for the cost, fit and color. Laundered in gentle cycle, cool water; lay flat to dry. No shrinkage, held shape.

I already own one in the denim blue color, so I took a chance on the dark bronze, hoping it wasn't too orange-y, and it's not. The color is very pretty and perfect for the fall. I'm very pleased! The material is a good midweight. I like to wear mine with a camisole or tank under it and there is plenty of room for that. If I had one suggestion, it would be to make it in a slightly shorter, slightly more fitted version. Mine definitely fits looser and longer than the way it does on the model. A fit more like hers would be my preference.

Nice weight and feel. Im 59 and the tall fits well. Good for California weather, not too hot!

Love color and fit. Another great LLBean sweater.

Light to medium weight sweater, well made, nice fabric, color exactly as shown. True to size after washing, as it does shrink about 1/2 size and over an inch in length including the sleeves. I am very happy with it and will order another. Just bear in mind that it will shrink.

Love the pink/mauve color of the sweater and it's very comfortable.

Lovely simple top to be worn anywhere. Very comfortable, not too heavy nor too light.

Bought the burnt mahogany in petite XS and it's beautiful. Love dark earthy tones, please have more of these colors and I will purchase them all!

Nice quality, but just meh. It's too long in the torso (and I'm long waisted). Sleeves are good length. Good sweater for changing seasons.

Nice sweater , bought for a trip up north from Florida. Its a little bit big wanted to make sure I could layer underneath.

Very comfortable sweater - attractive colors - washes well and dries quickly - very comfortable to wear - can be dressed up or down - good length!

I purchased the short sleeve version of the mid weight slub in 3 colors and wear them often. I love the v neck style and fabric. I got this sweater in the plum and love it too! The roll neck is much more flattering than a crew neck. The fit is relaxed, but not sloppy. The fabric is light weight but substantial. A new favorite!

I love this sweater! I bought the faded orange and bronze! It's the perfect weight for fall and can be layered in the winter! The texture makes it a unique piece indeed!

Enjoyed the fit, style and easy care fabric. Soon to be a go to for fall.

I have several of these sweaters! Was on the fence which color to purchase! I chose the blue, my favorite color which will fit well in my wardrobe of clothes. I just wish the blue had a bit more color saturation. These sweaters are so comfortable, wash up well, great for layering too!

Loved the mint color and the soft light feel but I do think it runs a little small if you were looking for a looser looking sweater. I ordered a second one in XL and it was perfect.

For starters it was too large in the body and not quite long enough in the sleeve, but the weave was loose and it didn't seem to hold a shape. I won't order from LL Bean in the future because you're charged for both delivery and returns. That's a lot to try something on. I ordered them together, but they shipped separately so two delivery fees and returns!

Great sweater to have on hand when you just need a little something. Very soft, and a great color (the light red). It ran larger than expected so it's being exchanged (large instead of XL).

I just wore this sweater in a cool May day in NYC, and its soft fabric works well on my sensitive skin. The pale teal I chose goes well with black or brown pants.

I like the cut and look of this sweater. It is well made and true to size. I thought the fabric would be a bit softer, hence the four stars.
