Is the Drifter sweater warm enough for winter?

On its own, no. It is a mid-weight cotton knit, so it suits spring and fall or works as a layer under a coat in colder weather.

It is cut relaxed through the body with puff sleeves. Many owners size down for a closer fit, so check the size chart before ordering.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes. It is 100% cotton and machine washable. Wash cold and lay flat to dry to keep the knit from stretching.

Does it itch like wool?

No. The cotton knit is soft against skin, which is one of the things owners praise most.

Is it true to size compared with other Lands' End sweaters?

It runs roomier than a fitted crew. If you wear a medium in a slim Lands' End knit, a small may suit you here.

What colors and patterns does it come in?

It is offered in solid colors and stripes, including blue tones, in a crew neck with puff sleeves.

Our take on the Lands' End Women's Drifter Crew Neck Sweater

The Drifter is Lands' End's 100% cotton knit crewneck, cut with puff sleeves and a relaxed body. The cotton knit is soft, breathable and machine washable, so it works as a three-season layer rather than a heavy winter wool. It suits shoppers who want a casual pullover with a bit of shape and don't want to hand-wash. Against wool and cashmere crews it is lighter and easier to care for, but it has less warmth and less structure. Reviewers rate it highly, and the main notes are about sleeve volume and how the cotton holds up after washing.
