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

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.

I first purchased an XL, but found it to be too roomy in the body. I exchanged it for a Large. The large fit well in the body and in the chest, but the sleeves were WAY TOO SNUG. This was very surprising, as I am a bit thick in the waist but not so much in the biceps. The sleeves are cut way too tight. Wearing this with any type of long sleeve shirt underneath was extremely uncomfortable. Mind you, the product description specifically states that the jacket is relaxed in the chest and sleeves. This is wrong. Also, why would LL Bean make this jacket ONLY in a slightly fitted version and not traditional fit? How can you possibly layer something underneath? Disappointing, as the quality appears to be excellent.

Sleeve holes seemed two sizes smaller relative to huge, tent-like mid-body cut. Like for a very fat-bellied guy with stick arms. So, it was both too large and too small. Fleece weight vs price very poor.

TITLE: LL Bean believes people with large stomachs all have extra long arms. It fit nicely in the middle, but the sleeves went to my last thumb nuckle.

Sorry, as I love LL Bean but I do not like the tapered/fitted tops you make. I like the old style that was ma little bulky looking. I also did not like the color or the material. Returned

I bought this jacket in January 2018. Great fit for me and I loved the look of the fabric until it began to pile. After a short period it looks old because of the piling of the fabric. Very disappointed with this. Other than that, it's warm and fit me well. I hope that they improved the fabric since I purchased it. Would buy another except for the problem with piling!

With most other online clothing companies, I take a large in a mid layer top like this. This large LLBean product was too big for me. I continue to have a problem with LLBean products using a different sizing standard than most other companies. To make it worse, they seem to change the sizing from time to time, i.e., a shirt that fit me last year won't fit me this year.

Ordered jacket in tall as LLBean regular fit items are too short for me. The sleeve length is too long by about two inches. This problem seems like it could be diverted by adding elastic to the cuffs or shortening the sleeves. Many other reviewers have complained about the sleeve length. Now I roll the sleeves up a little and it works but looks odd as the inside of the jacket sleeves is different material than exterior material. I would have recommended this jacket if it was not for the sleeve issue. Love the rest of it.

Body fits amazing but Bean has got to redesign the horrible collar that's way too tall. I have not worn the collar zipped up at all since I bought this. The collar is not only unnecessarily tall but stiff. Such a shame because the body and arms fits amazing.

I did not like the shoulder design and fit.

This was the fourth version of this coat I have bought over several years. I never had any previous problems with the fit. This time, the coat was too narrow across the chest, but too baggy at the hips. Also, the drawstring across the bottom of the coat is apparently no longer part of the design of the coat. I returned the coat.

L L Bean offered a finish looking fleece a few years back that was a great looking jacket. That's what I was looking for. it was great for hiking or for traveling. I'm a skinny guy and this jacket makes me look like I have a beer belly!

Although this jacket fits nicely and is very warm, when I started wearing it it immediately formed "pickies," and it looks quite old. I have used my pill killer on it and that works but they pills form again as soon as I wear it, especially on the arms and inside. I do not do a lot of manual work so it is just from daily life. Again, it is very warm so I am wearing it as I live in Alaska but way it wears makes me wish I hadn't purchased it.

I purchased the red color of this sweater fleece last fall. After wearing a few times, the fabric around the pockets has pilled excessively. Fit and inside fleece fabric is fine.

I had expected the jacket to have elastic cuffs and it didn't. I know I have short arms but this usually conpensates for that. The jacket was also way to large through the chest. It may have been mislabeled from an XL
