Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Full Zip Jacket

This is my second full-zip sweater fleece jacket from LLBean, but I almost didn't buy it, because of the garish, brightly colored LLBean logo patch that has been added to the left chest. Other than that, it is nearly identical in construction and quality to one my wife bought for me two years ago, although the dark brown (almost black) color is no longer available. Both the older jacket and the new dark blue one are very well made and very comfortable. The older one has held up well through many walks and hikes in the Spring and Fall, through multiple washings and as my go-to fleece to wear at the office during the Winter months. This jacket is much more stylish than a typical fleece jacket, and I have received many compliments on it. Which brings me back to the brightly colored LLBean logo on the new version. Although it's probably not a big deal on the hiking trail, this patch looks totally out of place in the office setting and other less casual settings. I purchased the new jacket taking the chance that the logo patch could be removed, and fortunately it can, with a couple of caveats. One previous reviewer reported that the color of the fleece under the patch was different from the color of the rest of the jacket. I did not encounter this problem, and I suspect that the color change may have been the result of sun exposure or repeated washings. So, if you decide to remove the patch, I would suggest doing it when the jacket is new. Another previous reviewer reported successfully removing the patch but only after considerable time and effort. My wife was able to remove the patch in less than five minutes with a simple sewing tool called a seam ripper. It is now impossible to tell that there was ever a logo patch on the jacket. My feedback to LLBean is that this is an excellent sweater fleece jacket. My suggestion is that you get rid of the flashy logo patch. I suspect that without the patch, this jacket will appeal to a broader range of customers.

Good looking, great quality. Once again my guy is pleased! Thank you LLBean!

This is a nice soft sweater, actually almost a jacket, but very comfortable indoors. Well made and sturdy. It's perfect for the chilly indoors or still air. Note that it is not a windbreaker so more sweater like than a jacket.

Fits Well, Looks Great. Cant't wait for cooler weather so I can enjoy it!

What a versatile jacket for my husband....dress casual or a little more exciting by including a short sleeved shirt under it. This jacket looks good at home or away up close or at a distance...projecting a great profile.

I was looking for a light jacket/sweater combination. This was exactly what I needed. High quality, stylish and as usual, L.L. Bean was prompt with the delivery. Good buy!!

Great weight. Perfect for cool temps. Nice fit. Not big and bulky. My husband loved it.

This product is a comfortable wear and fits well. I bought a size large and it fits just fine. The quality of the fabric is great. I will surely recommend it to everyone.

This is the second one my husband wanted. You cannot find a more comfortable & warm fleece anywhere. Love the colors too.

My father is 6'3" and has trouble finding good-quality fleece jackets for his frame. This was well received when I sent it at a gift - he loved the color and fit! Good job, LLBEAN!

I bought this for my boyfriend. He wears it every day. Comments on how much he loves it often. Excellent quality and a perfect fit. Washes well - no dryer.

This jacket is very well constructed and generously cut (no shortcuts in sleeves, length, etc.) The material is nice and not chintzy. Great product!

Really comfortable. Fits perfectly ( not too tight) . Looks great, and very warm.

My full fleece zip jacket was just what I was looking for. It is comfortable and has many pockets which are very useful. Happy to recommend it as my first choice after researching a a number of other possibilities.

I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and it fit wonderfully well. Nice to wear while walking or out to a movie or date. Great to wear while he's driving his convertible too!

I won two, one xl and the other 2xl. in both cases I stay very worm and dry in moist environments. they are both a little large for me but, they allow me to wear other clothing underneath if outside hiking or walking.

Excellent inside pockets, warm, attractive, nice collar

This is a great item and was worth the value.

This fleece jacket is good looking, warm and comfortable. It's like wearing a sweater. Casual, yet stylish enough to go out on the town with

Good choice

Bought this for my husband a couple of years ago. He loved it so much I purchased one for my son-in-law this past Christmas (he's 6 ft. and XL also, but weighs much less than my husband). Then my husband asked for one in a different color so we got him a second one, which he wears all the time and doesn't need to be without when laundering the first one. Happy family all around!

I am 6'5", 200lbs. So I am tall and pretty skinny. I typically wear Medium-Tall in most brands but things are often too short, even then. Large sometimes fits. XL is almost always too baggy. I ordered both the Medium-Tall (MT) and the Large-Tall (LT), hoping one of them would fit. But the sleeves in the MT were too short and the body of the LT was too baggy. So sadly, I returned both. I maybe could have gotten the LT tailored, but it's just not worth it at this price point. Still giving 5 stars because I know I am an outlier and the quality and style of the fleece was excellent, it just didn't fit me.

Very comfortable with two side pockets, and one chest pocket with zip which is proving to be handy for my phone or wallet. Attractive features include ribs on each sleeve and a high collar which can be turned down. I own two aging black jackets and decided to brighten things up a little so I chose this one in mountain red; I also purchased a similar fleece jacket in ocean blue, both very attractive colors which look great with jeans.

Liked the first one that I bought that I bought a second (different color ).Warm, with a windbreak quality. Wear it inside and out. Great fit. Serves well on cold winter nights; like a mini robe. Great in the morning while letting the dog out to retrieve the newspaper

The mens sweater fleece is a great piece for travel. Stylish and a warm layer to take on a trip! We purchased for an Alaskan Vacation but great at home piece as well.
