John 3 The sweater has a nice design and is warm. Smells a little of lanoline from the wool, which I find very nice. Made in China (not Norway like previous LL Bean Nordic sweaters) and it started "pilling" the very first day! I'm not sure how long it will last as I am removing the pilled wool every day; about a teaspoon full off the arms. It is not too expensive for a wool sweater, but I had hoped it would be better quality from LL Bean.
