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

I wear large/tall and have purchased many jackets and shirts from LLBean over the years. This particular jacket was too large around the waist and does not have any band to adjust fit either. The jacket material is good quality and it seems like it would be a warm jacket. I am exchanging for a tall/medium and will see how that fits.

This is a nice looking jacket. It is sized well and the material has held it's shape so far for the few weeks I've had it. Problem is that it really does need to have a lining. Taking it off and putting it on is a real chore as the inner material grabs the arms of your shirt or sweater like it's a Chinese Handcuff. The material does not block the wind very well but it does breathe. Good jacket for cool but not cold weather.

I normally take a large size jacket and this was verified by the size chart, however, the sleeves were way too long. There is no provision for tightening the cuff to shorten. Quality appeared acceptable.

Because the blue wasn't available, I went ahead and ordered the Deep Mustard. Bad mistake. I must not have zoomed in on the picture, because the color is awful.

In what has become a disappointing trend w LLB jackets, sleeves are way too narrow and tight. This is now the third jacket type product I have returned for the same issue. Never had this problem until about 2 years ago and I've been a loyal LLB customer for 30 years. Other than the sleeves and shoulders being too tight and restrictive, the rest of the sweater fleece jacket is great. Nice quality and weight. Large body fits perfect in width and length. I wear LT sport shirts from LLB for comparison. But the only way I could wear this is to wear a sleeveless shirt under it.

Thinner quality, but overall nice jacket. I'm 6"2, 265lbs, athletic, and normally wear a XXL in jackets, the one I ordered entirely too big, I'm swimming in it I'd size down for sure.

Nice full cut and green color but not having a cinch around the hem was and should still be standard equipment on this style sweater jacket or fleece... MAJOR let down...

I purchased this two months ago. The front zipper is not stitched straight, and has a noticeable curve to it. This affects the fit negatively, and makes the collar fit weird. I'm bummed that I can't send this back because I did not notice this until after the tags were off and I had worn it.

Received this item as a gift. The size is the one I always buy from Bean's. The sleeves are absurdly and annoyingly long

Lightweight and durable. Probably best for use during activities like hiking. On its own it offers little warmth and zero wind protection. Not what I expected from a product with sweater in name

Fit is poor. Arms are tight and torso is bulky. I am 6'1 and 175ls. Purchased the same product in different color a couople of years ago (at the same height and weight) and it fit great. Too much inconsistency in sizing.

This doesn't taper and doesn't hang straight down, but actually opens up larger at the bottom. Nice thick, warm material. Might be nice for someone with extra-extra large girth, but not me.

I've had this for about a year and really liked it (and the vest) but the zippers have broken on all of them. Looking for a better quality option

I have noticed a significant issue with my fleece from L.L. Bean recently. There appears to be an adhesive between the inner and outer layers of a jacket that has caused them to adhere together, resulting in a very wrinkled appearance that I cannot seem fix. This problem started after my last wash, despite always following L.L. Bean's recommended care instructions. The adhesive has compromised the jackets, aesthetic appeal and functionality, making it unwearable. I am a big customer with L.L. Bean and have many fleeces from them without any prior issues. I'm genuinely curious about the cause of this issue and hope that L.L. Bean can provide me insights into why this occurred. Give my positive history with their products, I'm also hopeful that they can offer me a replacement or solution to rectify this situation. Please see attached images, as you can see the layers are just stuck together despite me trying to separate them.

The fit is problematic. The XL is unusually large but the L is snug. I bought both and liked the color well enough to keep the L as a sweater and the XL as a spring or fall jacket

Moderate warmth nicely tailored jacket. The Pocket for my cell phone is very convenient

Product description indicated that the jacket was "slightly fitted". It was the opposite: narrow at the shoulders and large through the body/waist. Returned immediately.

My partner has several of these sweater fleece jackets and has loved them. I bought him a blue one for his birthday. After a couple of days of wearing it, it started to get wear on the back. It was noticeable because there was fuzzy areas. We returned it and decided to try it in a different color, green. The green one did the same thing so we returned it. We are so disappointed because the sweater fleece jackets had always been one of our favorites.

This Sweater Fleece is warm and fits nicely. However, It began pilling badly on the front and sleeves after about a week. At the $100.00 price level I felt that should never happen.

Loved this in the store. Had on a slippery polyester shirt and jacket slipped on easily. Tried it on again at home with any other type of shirt and could not get it on.

Severe piling on the sleeves and front after only a week, with normal daily wearing. Very disappointed with the quality of a $100 jacket

Had a previous LLbean fleece that was super soft and wear around the house. Bought this one as a replacement but the material is really rough polyester. It is not soft at all. Looks like i should have bought the trail fleece instead which is also cheaper.

A gift i ordered for my elderly father too big and not true to size i ordered him a regular and sleeves are too long.

This sweater fleece was a Christmas gift for my son. He is slim and the medium tall was too wide for him. Shoulders and sleeves were perfect. He returned it for another jacket that was cut slimmer and could be tightened around the bottom.

This was not a true fleece. It is more like a sweater material on the outside.
