L.L.Bean

Signature Cotton Fisherman Button Cardigan - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I love how this cardigan brings traditional fisherman styling into a more fitted, wearable shape. It’s soft but substantial and perfect for layering over tees or dresses in cooler months. I reach for it all the time—it adds structure without being stiff."

The Signature Cotton Fisherman Button Regular Cardigan blends classic coastal heritage with modern-day styling. Inspired by traditional Aran knits from Ireland’s rugged coast, L.L.Bean gave this sweater a contemporary refresh with a high-hip cut and a flattering, close-to-body fit. It still carries all the charm of the original—but now it’s just as at home layered over a dress as it is with jeans and boots.

Made from soft, breathable cotton and knit with time-honored cable patterns, this sweater offers lasting comfort with a dose of texture-rich character. Ribbing at the neck, cuffs, and hem gives it refined structure, and the button-front closure makes it an effortless styling layer. Whether we're headed out to sea or just to the office, this cardigan always tells a story—and makes us feel wrapped in one, too.
