Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Classic Raggwool Crew Sweater Regular

I received this sweater in Charcoal for Christmas almost three years ago and every time the temperature dips, this sweater comes out. The wool is excellent, not too soft (it's not cashmere, after all) and not too scratchy. It feels rugged and durable and always looks good over a button-up shirt or under a denim jacket, chore coat, trench, or even a wool blazer. I farmed two seasons in the colder months (in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia) using this sweater as a layering piece; I never once questioned this sweater's utility. I dare you to try to find a better sweater at this price-point. I'm itching to buy another one, but I'll probably take this one to my grave. Just a tip: I am 6ft, 150 lbs, skinny (suit size 36R). I bought a medium and I almost never wash it, which means the more I wear it, the more it stretches and slouches a bit. If you wear a size medium t-shirt and you want something that fits a little more snugly, get the small.

very comfortable fit and finish....have worn it multiple times....very good looking....and warm.

After cleaning out the old COVID-vintage sweaters, we needed to get something new. This was it. A nice, simple crewneck - warm enough but not too heavy. Perfect choice.

Perfect fit though sleeves a bit long for this short-armed man so he turns them up. Nice blue color that is brighter than his old blue ragg sweater with the buttons.

Used some Christmas money on this sweater, which is out of my usual budget. I have become inseparable from this sweater.

The sweater is nice and warm. It's not super soft. It's borderline scratchy against the skin, I usually wear a long sleeve underneath but its not the end of the world to have it against your skin. I've worn it about a dozen times as a good way to turn down the thermostat while working from home but the arms are starting to pill since they rub against my arm rests on my chair. I am 6'3" 215lbs and the large fits nicely. The large tall was a bit too long, but there seems to be a variation in the sizing since I got another LL Bean sweater and I needed the large tall. Overall I am happy with the purchase (I even bought a second one) since the price was right and I think I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this as long as I take care of it. I also just don't care that much about pilling.

Warm and comfortable. Just what i was looking for.

Classic that will never go out of style. LLBean quality is unbeatable.

This is a very warm sweater, perfect for winter weather.

I'm very happy with this wool sweater. It's a nice shape, and the fit is perfect. It's my only blue sweater, and it's a pretty shade of navy.

Great warm sweater and like the neutral color. Was much better made than the blue sweater we also purchased that split at the armpit

Bought for my daughter, she absolutely loves it! Nice a baggy the way she wanted.

It looks great and is very warm. The last few days have been in the teens here, and paired with a decent hat and a pair of gloves, it's actually been enough for me to go out in.

My husband is delighted to have a new version (without moth holes) of his favorite sweater!

Fabulous, classic sweater. The last one I bought my husband lasted 20 years and this one seems just as nice!

Very warm winter sweater. Fits great. Fits true to size.

Nice, thick sweater. Unfortunately the person who gifted it to me didn't realize it was a tall.

This was a Christmas gift for my husband who absolutely loves everything about this sweater. We live in Virginia where the winter weather is fairly mild and this sweater is often warm enough to go outside without a coat. Great fit, lovely color, very comfortable.

Bought as a gift to replace an old one with worn through sleeves. Same great quality and fit

Just what I was looking for. Fit well, warm and functional!

Great looking sweater that fits as expected (true to size) and provides good warmth.

very nice sweater, it was a Christmas gift, fits true to size

I am on my 4th or 5th of these but, only because I'm old and been buying them since I was a teenager. These are soft for Ragg, warm and durable. Fashion cycles come and go but well made classics never go out of style for me. I do think they run a bit large as I usually wear a large but need a medium for these.

Just what my husband wanted in a rag wool sweater. It will be very warm. Purchased XL and hope it won't shrink or be too snug.

Always a great sweater. My first place to go whenlooking for a wool sweater.
