Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Soft Cotton Cashmere Crew

Im about 6 ft., 165 lbs. my arms a long and sometimes items are a little short in the arms but not this sweater. Very warm and comfortable. I purchased a size large, perfect fit.

Nice sweater, but sleeves too short. Long arms....

Its wicked soft. Chicks dig it. It is only 5% cashmere, however

Great sweater, really like the weight and looks. Im about 59 and 190lbs , large fits well. Would definitely recommend, just have to be careful not to dry and pay attention to wash instructions.

Great sweater, really like the weight and looks. I'm about 5'9" and 190lbs , large fits well. Would definitely recommend, just have to be careful not to dry and pay attention to wash instructions.

Fine for a cotton sweater. The neck is a little large and the triangle below the neck is a little distracting to wear it as a basic piece; the design kind of draws attention to itself. Fits one full size larger than labeled. Stretches a bit after wearing and benefits from being dried back down to size. I would like to see a really basic, simple wool sweater (not a thick heavy one) offered for wearing to work, but this was the closest available when I ordered.

My all cotton Beans sweater was showing its age after 7 years . Went in the store and quickly found these sweaters. The knit pattern accents better than ever great contemporary all season color. I swear the feelof rhe knit is quality merino wool. The value is therefore excellent. Beans got this product just right

Nice material, good color but the bottom hem is too loose.

It's not soft, and it has 5% cashmere. Just an ordinary cotton sweater with a homeopathic dose of cashmere so they can use the word "cashmere" in the description. Fairly heavyweight, though

I'm not a jingoistic person, but when I went to wash this sweater, I looked at the washing tag and how to wash it. Not one line of English, just the symbols, plenty of Chinese and French though. It's a nice sweater, and this may seem irrelevant to many, but it has some cashmere in it and in it and I didn't want to ruin the sweater.

The sweater is too big. Made for someone who weighs 200lb. I weigh less than 150lb. its the width of the medium size---its too wide.

Length of sweater is too long for me (5'7"). Otherwise very comfortable. Would like to see more cashmere in a like sweater.

Well made but quite heavy. Takes a long time to dry after washing and can't be put in the dryer.

I like this sweater, but I have to say it suffers the same condition as almost every cotton sweater I've ever owned: it goes baggy between washes. I thought maybe the cashmere would help, but no. It's a nice, casual sweater, almost a sweatshirt, perfect if you don't mind it going baggy on you between washes.

While this sweater is durable and fits my husband well, it's not soft or lightweight! Disappointing, as I had previously bought two women's cotton cashmere sweaters that were very soft and perfect for my needs. The fiber content on both the men's and women's sweaters is listed as 95% cotton, 5% cashmere..but the weight and feel of the fabric on the sweaters is not the same! When examined closely, it's obvious that the weaves of the men's and women's sweater fabrics are different, as is the weight. Disappointing, since the lighter weight is preferable for travel (packing and wear), as well as wearing in our winters in a warmer climate. How can this difference be explained?

My previously purchased cashmere sweaters were significantly lighter in weight than the sweaters purchased.

I purchased two of these sweaters. They are beautifully made and, true to their claim, "wicked" soft. My issue is that the sizing is off. I normally take a size Large and found that these sweaters were almost too big. My next order will be a medium with hopes that that will be the correct fit.

Tried a Large first but found it too small, especially sleeves and body length -- before washing. Returned it for credit and ordered an XL Tall. Fits like a tent. Much too big. Rather than try washing & drying to shrink it, I'm just returning it.

Nice sweater but it's a little too large. Wish the fit was right as it's a nice quality. It is a wash and lay flat to dry kind of sweater.

I was looking for a sweater in this color green but one that was lighter weight. Although this is a well-made sweater, I wish you had one that was more of a summer-weight sweater.

I own a men's Cotton Cashmere navy v-neck and two women's turtlenecks. This crew neck is NOT the same gage knit and it appears to be a lot heavier on the cotton side of things. When I first opened it I thought they sent me the wrong sweater. The hand and feel is completely different than my other 3 sweaters. The tag does say 95%cotton/5%cashmere but it is NOT the same. Reminds me of a smaller gage cotton ragg sweater, heavier and not soft. I bought a large in each but because of the difference in fabric this sweater was much more fitted, and I would have to go up a size. I've posted a close up of the difference in the weaves. It is well made, and a nice sweater if you're looking for more of a cotton ragg feel but I'm disappointed it's not the same so back it goes.

Maybe wicked, not so soft. It it a cotton sweater. There is only 5% cashmere, and so the promises of warmth and softness are unfulfilled. The style anf shape are nice and it is weighty for cotton.

returned this sweater due to the bottom. Instead of being gathered at the bottom it just hangs straight down. Not for me...

This is basically a cotton sweater. I suppose that is on me as I didn't notice that it is only 5% cashmere, but I can't tell an appreciable difference between it and any other cotton sweater in my closet. Pros: Green was a great color and I liked the knitting detail around the collar. Cons: Too heavy, not soft like most cashmere blend sweaters, neck too large, sleeves too long, too pricey for a run of the mill cotton sweater. Love LL Bean and your products, but this was a bit of a disappointment. Returning.

Looks great after a wash, but after an hour it just hangs on you. Like it loses its form quickly.
