Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Ridgeknit Crossneck Pullover

I loved this shirt but it ripped in just a few wears. I was so sad

Wish I would have read the reviews before ordering. I tried it on when delivered and seemed fine. After I washed it in cold water and low temp dryer and wore it the first time it was not comfortable on my skin. Somewhat itchy feeling. Not sure what is in the fabric to cause this. If you have sensitive skin I would not recommend this top.

I purchased this in Sea Green, an absolutely gorgeous smokey sage color! I get tons of compliments, especially as a redhead it really pops! However, and this is a huge issue, and the fabric is atrocious!!! I have washed this sweater once and the fabric's interior is now itchy and pilling! Honestly, it feels like I'm wearing a plastic trash bag! There is also an issue with it riding up and not laying nicely, but I do think that's still an issue with the fabric getting stuck on my t-shirt when I move. It is truly awful. I loved it when I first tried it on! I will return for a refund under Beans warranty. They should never have approved this fabric. Please, Beans, Mainers are begging you to start offering quality stuff again! (And preferably, more items made in the USA/Maine.)

The photo has the model with bent arms so that it's hard to see how far down the armpit hole is and how long the arms are which makes the whole thing look unfeminine for me. I guess I prefer a more fitted look.
