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

This will be a limited review. It was a Christmas gift for our grandson who lives in the south and needed a heavier jacket. I saw these at the local store and liked the style and quality. Report is that it fits him well.

I like the jacket and, like all Bean stuff, it is well made. My only gripe is the LLBean logo sewn onto the front. I just bought a shirt and I have the same complaint. I recognize that this is a trend and has become common among manufacturers but I would prefer for the logo to disappear or at least relocate to the lower hem area.

Great jacket for fall and underlayer for winter. I'll wear it a lot this year. Only thing I'd suggest is to look at the stitching behind the neck. For some reason it often catches on my hair (which isn't that long).

This is a very nice sweater, great quality made, great color. My only negative would be that the sleeves are too long for me. This may not be true for anyone else. I would buy this product again. I like LL Bean products, always quality and satisfaction guaranteed.

I like the jacket. I have not worn it long enough to determine how well it will hold up. I tried a small first and it was just a little too tight. So I got a medium and it's just a little looser than it like but it's not too bad. The one thing that I wish was different was the collar. I wish it wasn't so tall when up. Wish it had more of a mock collar. Collar was same height for both small and medium. But all in all a nice coat and good heavier type fleece.

I purchased my first LLB fleece jacket two years ago, same size, and really love it. I would give it 5 stars, easily! I just purchased the same size, but different color jacket. It is nice, but I am a little disappointed from the first jacket. First, this one is a little bigger than the one I purchased two years ago, it does not fit quite right. Second, LLB decided to put a name tag on the front breast of this new jacket which makes it a little less appropriate for using in more professional settings like office meetings. I really wish it did not have the label, or at least, that it was less obtrusive.

This is a very comfortable and stylish jacket. My only complaint is that there is no lining and the wind tends to blow right through it.

Well designed, compared with the older version that I had for years until it finally wore out. I like the pockets, cuffs, and flap under zipper. The zipper itself is also improved. The one disadvantage is that it is not as water resistant as my Polarguard version was. After a few seconds in the rain, I can feel dampness on the inside.

Im tall and lanky the Medium Tall was a perfect fit. Absolutely love this. Best fleece I've ever owned.

Light weight, comfortable, easy to get on and off.

My husband was very pleased with the jacket and was happy that it was warmer than he thought it would be.

Liked the material and construction. XL was too large for me. Would like to see a draw string around waste.

I love the appearance of the fleece vest, and have many other pieces of Bean clothing. However, the sleeves on this item are just a bit too long, and they are also a bit tight, given that I'm typically wearing this as a layer over something else. I have a 44" chest and 32" sleeves and it fits fine through the body.

The fleece jacket seems to be of very good quality and of good weight. I liked it very much. However, the large was way to big for my liking. It hung on me. I purchased a medium also and it was way too tight. Could hardly move my arms or get it off. So that particular jacket just doesn't fit me. Which was unfortunate otherwise I would of loved the jacket.

It looks really good and the material is awesome (also very warm, but not to heavy). However, it fits a little tight and is a little too short in the front (the back is cut slightly longer). With this said, I really like this item and still wear it a lot.

Purchased this jacket for my son who is athletic build, very long arms and legs. The Med Tall worked perfectly. He definitely needed the Medium in the body and the Tall gave him the extra sleeve length he needed.

I should of order medium but is ok i always dress in layers,

Very good quality and style; will look good in regular and business casual attire. My reservations are that it is not lined so it will not stop the wind from making you chilly. Wear something underneath or over it. The waist is not elastic so it looks nicer but allows wind and cold air to enter your torso. Also, there is a small outer breast zipper pocket but not on the inside to hold one's wallet. There are a couple of open bucket pockets on both sides of the interior.

Bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift. He owns bean shirts in tall large. This item is described as slightly fitted so I ordered an xl tall. Seems to be well made and very handsome looking. However the front of the fleece is shorter than the back. Overall for a tall size I would expect it to be longer than what it is. So I deducted a star. I think he really likes it though. It better not shrink.

New fitted style, product came just as described. The color was the new brick red, also true to color. Extra pocket up near the chest for phone or whatever you like. It was a hard sell as it was for someone who prefers natural fibers. Looks good on him and fits well. I would recommend only gave 4 stars, it's just missing that wow factor or really need to buy another one in a different color.

They advertise a slim fit and that's what it is. I don't understand some comments that said it's made for overweight people. I'm considered a slim build and I sure would not want to try to fit into it if I was any heavier. As several others have commented, the sleeves are in fact very slim and don't just slip on, but then it's not a project to squeeze in either. Have gotten several compliments on the looks. Fabric is smoother than I'd expected from the descriptor "fleece"; has more of a felt wool feel and look. BUT: I also do not like going around advertising LLB with the logo - at least logo is small. Another BUT: it's a nice tight weave but it is still fleece, meaning that it doesn't cut wind as well as a shell layer and if I'm going out into a cold wind I either have something over it or just wear something else that's made for winter. I'm considering this a comfortable, nice looking fall and spring coat.

Quality jacket. Good fit. I like the weave of this polyester compared to normal fleece. Nice appearance, comfortable and seems warm. Sale price was about right, though I believe the normal price was a bit high.

This jacket is cut so it is longer in back than front, because of this it was too short in front for my husband. The sleeves were plenty long, so we decided against ordering in tall. Had to return.

Jacket has a nice soft feel. Only complaint is that the inside seems to stick to my shirts and makes it difficult to put on and take off. I would prefer a liner to make it easier put on and take off.

I hate the garish logo patch on the chest and have painted it over. The sleeves are a little long and hard to shorten. Otherwise, love the jacket. This is my second one (the first didn't have the logo patch).
