Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

Outrageously priced thin material with cheap plastic snaps, v-neck material does not lay flat

Love the fleece on my grandson but it is too big. Need exchange for size

Top button fell off the first time it was this was worn

It is well made like all LLBean products, but the medium has sleeves that are too long while the jacket is too short. Unfortunately, I have to take it back.

This pullover looked great until i tried it on. The pocket lining sagged down below the front hem of the sweater. I took it back to the store and all of them over size L did the same thing. It's a bummer because this looked great and felt nice.

Proportions are odd. Sleeve length definitely much longer than a usual extra large.

I bought this unpatterened Sweater Fleece Pullover at the same time as my patterned Sweater Fleece Pullover, and the fit couldn't be more different (I had this same experience last year). The fabric was stiffer, the body boxier, and the sleeves could fit one of my early primate ancestors just fine. So if you need stiffer, boxier, and sleevier, go for it. But for me it wasn't wearable. I liked the eucalyptus color, however, and I don't usually go for greens.

Not exactly pleased with this product.. After only one gentle washing and having only worn it a few times it is developing pilling across the front and on the sleeve edges. This is not a sweatshirt I would purchase again.

Sleeves too long, fit not 'slim' but rather bulky

I have the men's version and my wife has the women's version of this top. We both love it except for the fact after the first wash they both shrunk significantly. My wife's she can still wear although it is on the small side now however mine has shrunk so much it feels like it went from a large to something between a medium and small. It really sucks since this was an expensive top that I really enjoyed wearing the first time I took it on a hike. Now it just sits in the closet because it is too small. I suggest trying a size bigger than normal.

This pullover looks great at first, but after a few washes the hems on the sleeves unravel and then the fabric starts to lose its soft look. It begins to look old and worn out quickly. I bought LL bean in hopes it would last at least a year. It did not even last a few months. Typically when you pay $80 for a pullover it lasts, very disappointed in the quality of this product. Do not waste your money if you intend to actually wear it more than twice a year, it will not last long.

Ordered this fleece in burgundy, size Large. Really like the softness, the color and contrasting trim as well as the Slightly Fitted fit. Roomy enough to layer over a shirt/baselayer yet not baggy. Unfortunately, I'm returning this item due to a few issues. First, and as mentioned in previous comments, the kangaroo pouch lining protrudes about 1" below the hemline with my hands resting insidenot a good look. This issue could be rectified by moving the pocket stitching farther above the jacket's bottom hem, resulting in a slightly smaller but still voluminous pocket. Second, the sleeves drape to my fingertips. I'm of average arm length/wrist size. The elasticized opening could be smaller to prevent hanging below the wrist. Third, the jacket rides up to my belly-button when reaching above my head, exposing my midriff. To address this, my recommendation is to alter the cut, switch to a raglan sleeve, or add length to the torso. Bummed that this pullover doesn't work for me. Otherwise it seems to be comfortably casual fleece for those who may find the fit more agreeable and can overlook the sagging handwarmer pocket issue.

This sweater fleece shirt was expensive so I expected good quality. Unfortunately, the hems on the sleeve and the waist became worn and frayed. Since I didn't wear this shirt frequently or treat it badly, I'm disapointed.

This sweater fleece looks very nice when new but gets old fast. First, it's sized small so order up 1 size, and it's definitely sized short. At 5'10" I get a wide open belly raising my arms up in a large. Seems the same for my other bean stuff. I would expect that if I were taller but not at 70". Second, it pills like crazy. Better order a fabric shaver while you're at it. Got mine 1-2 years ago (I think) and while the shaver makes it look new, my regular fleece doesn't do this at all. Third, do not put stuff in the pockets. Seriously. The inner lining droops out under the bottom of the fleece and looks ridiculous. Yes, it's an attractive fleece and will keep you warm in a cool house but after a few weeks it looks work down in the not good way. Oh, and the back collar always folds inwards in an awkward way in the back. I would get 100 wt. fleece as a replacement in the future to avoid the problems I had. Maybe a 200.

It kinda fits, if your reaching up for something it hikes up your stomach, sits just above the belt, would be better if it hung below the belt line just to short.

The shoulders and arms fit great and I love the fabric, but was too large around the torso and not flattering at all. Would work if you have a large beer gut, I suppose.

This knit garment looks like it had been over pressed to the point where the fibers are almost stuck together. It's ugly. Nothing like prior versions. Stretchy nylon pocket hangs below bottom front edge band, creating a sloppy appearance. No drawstring on the bottom available to hide the ugly pocket lining. Tall size gives more extra width, but it's rather short. Makes no sense. I've ordered twice hoping different color might help. Still a big expensive disappointment.

This one is much heavier than the lightweight fleece it replaced. The lightweight fleece was perfect for traveling. Plus, it doesn't have zippered pockets. This heavier weight will be good for cold weather, but I'm disappointed in not being able to find a good pullover fleece for traveling.

Large/Tall was Too large, too bulky. Swims on me. Very disappointed

The collar sits up to high. It cover half my face/head. Can I still return it?

Purchased for my husband February, 2018. After 3-4 washes, started to pill. This was only warn for casually, not for work. For the price, expected better quality.

The arms were a little long but the thing I most don't like is that when you put things such as a cell phone and wallet inside the front pouch, the inside liner shows below the sweater itself. It looks funny!!

Sleeves were way too long. Not wearable

I recently ordered this fleece and will be returning it. I was so disappointed after looking at this for quite sometime and finally buying it. It is not "slightly fitted" as described. The mid section billows out adding the appearance of 20 extra lbs to your stomach area . This is probably compounded by having a pocket in which to warm your hands in the front. This will probably work for someone with a little bit of a stomach but definitely not if you have a flat stomach. Not flattering at all.

I admit that I have not worn this pullover all that much, (It got lost in the back of my closet). With the return of the cool weather; I re-discovered this pullover and to my dismay, I noticed the stitching of the "piping" on the bottom of the pullover has come un-raveled. The thread has become undone and "piping" now just dangles. I also discovered that it was over 1 year since I purchased this garment; the warrant is no longer in affect. After purchasing LOTS of items from LL Bean, This is one of first times I have been disappointed with one of their products.
