Glory - I have this LLB sweater in the off-white and Mary K also has it. I have another similar one from Land's End. Yes, I love this French nautical stripe thing that much.
I really like my LLB sweater. It is a bit loose and boxy on me, but super comfortable. I wear it constantly, both over a cami and over a button down (and in warmer weather on its own). A couple of photos to show you how it looks and fits.
The last photo is my Land's End version. It's a slightly different fabrication and because I bought petite in the Land's End one, it is shorter. It's also even boxier in fit. But I like it a lot, too, because I can let a pop of another colour show underneath it, as in the picture.
I don't think you can go wrong with one of these. I expect to purchase another one in a different colour, in fact. It's just such a useful item for me.
ETA: the JNY one looks much more like a T shirt. The LLBean and Land's End are more like lightweight cotton sweaters that can be worn as tops as long as temps do not rise too high. They are a more substantial fabrication. So to my eye they are not duplicates. They would serve different purposes.
