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

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.

This was heavy, didn't drape well and was way bigger than the same size from other, reputable companies.

streched out so large during first wearing. Of no use now

Great looking sweater if you do not have a slim build. We loved the color and material, but it was way too baggy.

I bought two of these, one in port and one in green. I have been wearing the V-neck cotton/cashmere sweater for years. This sweater, in the same size, has sleeves that are 3 inches longer. And, as others have mentioned, they will not stay up if pushed back. The answer might be to cuff them - but the seems inside the cuffs are finished roughly, with protruding yarn ends and look awful. OK for home, but marginal for even my, very casual, workplace. The port sweater also had a yarn end sticking out in the middle of back, which showed up when I washed it. I pulled it in and applied Fraycheck. The seam between the V and the body at the neck of the green sweater unraveled. I have just sewn it down so I can launder the sweater. I feel that one should not have to repair a $70 sweater (not to mention both $70 sweaters) within a month of receiving them. Image is of the seam before repair. I do like the weight and warmth level.

John from Ohio warned me that the sleeve would fall over my hand but I ordered anyway. I will also be returning it. If sleeve length is a concern at all I would avoid this because the cuff is very loose.

Super disappointed. This sweater is not even a little soft. To top it off, I got what was clearly someone else's return, which was missing the tag and had pale color e dog hairs all over it.

Bogus ! Def not "Wicked Soft" at all- rough weave cotton. AND - only 5% Cashmnere yet they sure title it as though its a soft, cashmere sweater- it's $79 for a frigging rough, cotton sweater.

The fabric has piled after only 2 wears and 1 wash. There is a wear pattern from the seatbelt across the chest. Don't recommend.

Sweaters did not hold their shape. Sleeve cuffs and waist were stretched and baggy at first wear.

I previously bought 2, V Neck, soft, light weight 95/5 blend sweaters. This was described as soft, lightweight, not bulky which sounded just like my previous purchases. Instead it is bulky, heavy, not soft and smaller than the previous. What happened? Bring back what was a winner. I'm returning immediately.

Very poor service terrible return policy. Overall very disappointed. Ordered an extra large and received an extra large tall

Sweater just arrived; returning it in the morning, what happened to your choices, year after year I'm able to order a lightweight cashmire, v neck sweater..I received a chunky, only 5 % cashmire, so heavy, not even soft ..! What happened? Perfect for my 95 year old dad to ward off a chillvery disappointed, will be looking else for one

Sweater is very heavy and while comfortable, just hangs terribly on the body. The weak elastic on the bottom puts out a serious "love handle" vibe. I tried washing it hot and shrinking it but it sill just looks terrible. Has a bid "lie' on the body. To answer the question below accurately, "How does it fit" I'd have to say badly. Not too small, not too big, just bad.

The color and fit were great but on close inspection there are a couplle of faint stains on the front. Not sure what caused these but my husband noticed these right away when he unwrapped his present, so we we will be retuning it,

The neck of the sweater is really wide. Dealbreaker

I'm so disappointed. First the package did not arrive when promised. Second the sweater is only 5% cashmere, not enough to feel remotely like cashmere, and runs large to boot.

Shades lint real bad, wore a Navy Blue sweater with a pair of Khaki pants, there was so much lint on the pants it was embarrassing. Have not worn the Gray one yet, hate see what it would do to a pair of Navy pants. Really a poor quality sweater coming from L L Bean, could have done best at Wal Mart.

Please stop advertising this sweater to be "wicked soft". It is not soft at all. Disappointed.

Runs big and the material is not high quality. Orderd a medium
