Customer Reviews L.L.Bean SoftFlex Long Open Cardigan

Perfect for cool evenings or too much AC! Just a bit too long for my 5'4" frame.

Its light and has deep pockets for things like a tissue packet or a temporary place for your phone to free up your hands. Ive been wearing it daily on my trip to England. I bought a size larger to accommodate layers, including a thick sweater and it has worked perfectly!

I like this one enough to get 2 in dark gray. Not 5 starts because I wish they'd leave of the "LLBEAN" tag along the top of the back-I don't get paid to market for companies so stop treating me like a billboard. And it does pill a little around the edges, but not as bad as other sweaters I've had.

I really like this cardigan and would buy it again. I recently had shoulder surgery and need front-opening garments. This is just the right weight, soft, and comfortable on my shoulder. However, the pockets are super saggy! Please reconfigure the design--perhaps a side opening with the pocket material stitched across the top.

Was looking for something soft and warm AND stylish to use over my sleep pants and tops. Ordered in large for arm length and hopes for extra fold-over in front. Yes, on all counts! I love this cardigan! Am getting ready to order another.

This is my new wear every day cardigan. It is the perfect weight and so soft and cozy.

I received this cardigan as a gift just before a trip, and it was a great piece for my travel wardrobe. The gray color goes with multiple tops and scarves, and the longer length works well with leggings. The weight is comfortably warm but not too heavy. Looking forward to wearing it at home as well as away.

Very soft, good fit; brought for my sisters Birthday

A gift for my mom- she loves it. Nice color and fit.

The pockets were looser than I prefer.

The only thing I would change is to make the armholes and sleeves slightly larger to accommodate t-shirts underneath.

Well made. Love the length...perfect for lounging or running an errand. So Comfy...first thing I put on when I am home...plus my slippers, of course.

Comfortable but Ive noticed the inside has begun to look worn already and there is an odd LLBean sticker on the lower part that is meant to be permanent (logo tag).

I love this cardigan. Its perfect for driving my car. Not too heavy.

In the end I decided to return the cardigan. The fit was fine and flattering. But I felt just a little constricted with my arm movement. Fabric seemed a bit stiff for a cardigan. And the color was lighter than on my computer. I almost kept it, but decided on another lighter, softer cardigan.

Disappointed, it washed horribly in cold water and didnt put in dryer. Inside has what looks like pulling. Not what Id expect from LLBean. It was also a flimsy thin material. Just overall-not a good purchase. I hate returning things its a hassle and I have no time.

Very comfortable. I expected it to be a little loose and that's why I ordered plus size. Runs a little snug. Nice length. A hood would make this the perfect combo. Pockets are big and I love that. Anything of weight will weigh the pockets down. Actually like it!

This cardigan is a heavy t-shirt type fabric. It's quality made and though I haven't worn it yet, I'm sure it will be a go-to when the weather cools. It is a bit heavier than I thought it would be, and it's long. Longer than I wanted. Definitely covers the rear, so can easily be worn with skinny jeans and leggings. Probably too long to wear with skirts or dresses because it almost goes to my knees in the back.

Very stylish. However the large pockets on each side are not attractive.

Soft and lightly warm. Right for cool summer evenings.

I really like this sweater however the arms are short. It would be nice if they were linger and had thumb holes

Great sweater for the cooler months. Well made, substantial, good fit, and very cozy! I have three issues with it: 1 - the current concept of an open-front garment is that it not only has no closure such as buttons, but it is also not designed to even be pulled closed, against a breeze, for instance. I do not like it, but that's just the way it is these days, regardless of who makes or sells it. 2 - I do not mind an LL Bean logo on the garment, again a common practice these days. But on a contrasting stripe on the back? This is otherwise a pretty classy sweater. 3 - on-seam pockets, or no pockets, if necessary, would have been better. The patch pockets appear sloppier when wearing than in the photos. All that aside, this is a quality item, as I have come to expect from LL Bean, very satisfactory. Thank you.

Love the sweater. True to size. Also love the deep pockets and length. Ordered the heather black not realizing it would be more gray than black.

I wish that the front came a little closer to have the edges meet and I wish it were a little shorter. I'm 5' 2" and it comes down to my knees. Having said that it is soft and warm and deliciously comfortable and just right for walking around my house on cold winter days. I've bought 2.

Looks good. Feels comfortable. Attractive color. Well-made. Unfortunate droopy ugly floppy pockets.
