The Essential Merino Crewneck Sweater showcases L.L.Bean’s longstanding heritage and dedication to premium craftsmanship. It’s cut from an extra-soft 100% merino wool, which has been woven from heathered yarns for a versatile weight that can be worn year-round. The sweater is finished with a signature mallard pattern, a nod to the brand’s history of making gear by hunters for hunters since 1912.
