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

I'm not really happy with this sweater and am going to return it. I haven't washed or worn it yet, but it seems to have gotten really stretched out just from trying it on and ends up looking pretty sloppy, especially under the arms and in fronttoo much fabric. I bought the paperwhite color, and it's so sheer that you can see where my jeans are at my waist beneath it.

I bought the dark blue sweater it was a five star purchase for me. I loved it so much I bought a second pink sweater. Both medium petite. The pink was way too large for me, I measured it compared to the blue. The sleeves and width of the pink was 3 inches larger than the blue. Ordering mail order mandates size regularity or the buyer loses confidence in the retailer.

I ordered same size I usually get for sweaters but this felt too tight & shorter than my taste.

Nice color but too snug in the body and loose in the arms for me (5’8”, 140)

A nice looking sweater but too lightweight for a Boston winter if you are worried about warmth. Neck is more scooped than appears on model.

This pullover is a bit too thin for me, and doesn't fit well.

It's a comfortable fabric, nice color, but very small and slim fitting. When I think of a slub type of sweater, I think of something a bit oversized all over so you can throw it over anything. I'm a sz 2 or 4 and I think I got a small. Sadly, I returned it. Really thought it was going to be my summer 'go to sweater' if I needed something light to throw on. This would just make me too hot. Bummer.

The knit had a good 3-season weight, but it was just a block of fabric on me, with no shape, no drape, and the arms were too short. Its barrel boxiness looked rustic and sloppy on me, and the weave would instantly get pulls from anything that touched it. Still, I wanted to love this sweater and tried it in 4 colors (all of which were well represented in the photos online). I'd also ordered in 3 different sizes to find the right fit, but I returned all. I'll stick with the Bean's enduring Double L Mixed-Cable Sweater that is both rugged and classic.

I loved the color, the weight, the look of this sweater until I saw the thick 3 inch band at the bottom of the sweater. Had there been a bottom with a rolled hem like the neckline or a thinner band, the sweater would have been perfect. But the thick band took away the casual dressy look of the sweater and made it unflattering. Disappointed with the look and returned sweater.

Color is nice. Sleeves run slightly short. Nice cotton!

This was my second Rollneck Pullover and the neck opening is smaller than the previous one of another color. It feels tight around my neck and I'm hoping I can stretch it out a bit. If not, I may attempt a modification rather than return.

I returned the sweater. It wasn't horrible; I just didn't like the texture (sort of springy yarn, vs. my older version of the sweater) and I'd expected paper white to be a bright white. This was cream colored. The crew collar was a little higher/smaller than I liked, too. Still looking for the perfect cotton sweater to order in several colors...!

The sweater itself is fine, although I agree with the reviewers who say it runs small. I ordered the paperwhite color expecting an off-white sweater that would be a real neutral. The sweater that arrived is a really odd color that has a yellow/tan cast, closer to the color of a new wooden spoon than to a soft white. And because it runs small, the fit is closer than I expected, even though I ordered a regular rather than my normal petite.

I really wanted this sweater to work, but it was just too small. I'm 5'3" and have short arms, but even the regular large sleeves barely came to my wrists and I felt it was too short at the waist as well. I'd recommend ordering up a size.

It hasn't held it's shape and looks baggy. It is lose around the waist. I would prefer it was more fitted.

Did not like the faded color for blue. I returned it but would buy in colors that are in happier colors.

I love the color and style, but the quality is not up to LL Bean standards. The sweater has a loose weave, which is fine, but it arrived with a small hole in the neckline. Easy to repair and I kept the sweater. After a couple wearings, another hole developed near the waist. Again, I repaired it. It's unfortunate the quality is not good. I have LL Bean sweaters that are 15 or so years old, still going strong. This one may not make it through this winter.

Love the sweater. The color is more a light yellow than a beige.

very light weight sweater, needs undergarment thin tshirt or tank

This is my third purchase of these sweaters. Quality is sadly worse each time. I buy them oversized to allow for shrinkage. Overall, love the texture and weight of the midweight slubs; first one (cream) was amazing! Second one (lavender) had a small hole after washing which I repaired. Third one (mint green) had a small hole on arrival. I repaired it also, but on finding two more holes to repair after one wash, I'll be returning it.

Did not like yellowish look for a supposedly 'natural' color, and returned it.

It was too small, too short and I returned it

I've purchased these sweaters many times, yet I'm probably not going to continue purchasing them in the future. They're my go to spring/summer sweater. I love the material and fit, but within three to four hand washings, they lose their shape around the bottom.

The sweater was not mid-weight in my opinion (it was lighter] and the fit was long and baggy. The overall effect was not flattering.

I suppose I shouldn't be too disappointed. The picture of the sweater is pretty accurate. Very casual, appropriate for the house or maybe the grocery store. It runs large and I got the smallest size. It's comfortable enough but buying a sweater from a discount store would have been a better use of my money.
