Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

I have no words left for the endless snow, school cancellations, broken public transportation and subzero temperatures in Boston. I used a holiday gift card for this sweater last week and it has been a source of happiness and warmth since arriving. I am not taking it off until 100" of snow melts!

Love this and love the color. Fits well and toasty warm.

I had been eyeing this fleece since it showed up on my instagram several weeks ago! When I went to pull the trigger it was out of stock in small in all colors- BUT I live chatted with LLBean and they found it for me in store! Seriously you guys are the best! I got the sunset pink and the color is gorgeous. It hits me a little low since I am 5'2 but I do not mind. So soft and I am sure it will last for a long time!

If you like pullovers that are medium weight, roomy enough for another layer underneath, a front niche to keep hands warm, you will like this pullover. Bought for a trip to Yellowstone in September. Think this will be perfect. I bought XL; I am 5' 8" and the fit is just right.

I had been eyeing this sweater for a while and finally decided on size and color. When I went to the website to order it was out of stock, so I emailed L.L.Bean and they found one for me! I got a medium and am so glad I did! The fit is a little snug, but looks perfect. It does hit me a little low (just below belt line) on the waist, but I'm 5'2". I can still wear a long sleeve underneath. The color is awesome, a little bit more pink-ish than the photo. It's very thick feeling but still lightweight. I will definitely be wearing this well into Spring. The retro Bean look of it is just what I was looking for, can't wait for more like this!

This fleece is a keeper! Super warm and cozy. I personally love the fit. I'm petite, 5'2" 115lbs, athletic build, and the XS regular fits great. I usually go for petite sizes, but I knew I would want this top to fit longer, so I went with regular and am very pleased. It hits mid to low bum on me when I pull it down, but the cinched waist sometimes rides up a little, which isn't a problem with the longer fit. I've only worn it around the house so far, which has been perfect for our below zero winters in the U.P. but I expect it to keep me very warm with a base layer while cross-country skiing. Looks cute with jeans/leggings and boots too! I ordered it in gray to stick with a neutral color and it's a lovely color. LOVE the old school logo!!!

This sweater is so warm and fits true to size. For reference, I am 5'4, 130 lbs, and usually a S or M in tops (depending on how they run). I got the small in this and it fit perfectly.. not tight, but fitted. I would HIGHLY recommend this item! < 3 L.L. Bean never disappoints.

I got this in the grey color, and I'm totally loving it even more than I thought I would. It was more sweater-y than I was expecting, which is great and makes it less casual than the old school Bean fleece pullover I was expecting. (Full disclosure, I kind of forgot what I ordered because of the backorder.) I am 5'9", about 185 lbs, and quite chesty. I went with the XL and it's perfect - roomy enough to fit a big sweater for extra warmth, but not too slouchy with just a tshirt underneath. I've worn it every day since I've gotten it.

Love this sweater, I bought the turquise one and am constantly getting compliments. It is super comfy and warm. I'm 5'5 120 lbs, glad I bought the small because it fits perfect. I was going to buy the medium, but after reading other customers reviews I changed it to small.

Bean finally hit a home run with a fleece product. Fit, style & fabric. The most obvious difference between this pullover and its predecessors is that its nap is flat on the front side, that's what makes it look like a sweater (but it's fluffy on the inside). The huge advantage is that it doesn't attract and hold every.little.piece.of.lint.&.dog/cat.hair like other fleece products do. And the fit is great--slightly fitted but I don't have to constantly keep pulling it down like other fleece pullovers with elastic on the bottom, that forever creep up. Its longer cut is nice, finally something that isn't designed to show my midriff every time I move. I have long arms and for a change, the sleeves *almost* fit. Since Bean pretty much has stopped carrying any Talls for women, I'm just going to have to be happy for it to be this good. And I am. I bought this pullover to serve as a ski sweater but am wearing it daily, it's so toasty--I don't know why it's warmer than my older fleece pullovers, but it is. It's so nice to have a practical garment that looks good and has an adult cut & fit. The placket stands up nicely and works well with either a turtleneck or a collared shirt underneath. My husband even noticed how nice this looks, so I ordered 2 more in different colors, it's going to be my daily "uniform" around the house, it's nice to have a practical garment both fits well and serves the purpose of keeping me warm.

When I saw this posted to Bean's Instagram, I knew I had to have it. At the time of my order, it was out of stock in my local store and backordered online-- clearly I was not the only one who liked the vintage-y look of things! This sweater reminds me of the Bean's I grew up with, I practically lived in snap-neck pullovers throughout my childhood! This one is a little more grown up than it's polar fleece brethren, and I love the look of the marled knit! It does fit snugly, as listed in the description, so take that into consideration when ordering. I went one size up for comfort, my regular size would have fit, but not as comfortably.

I am 5' 7" and around 110 pounds, I ordered the XS it fits perfect. I love this item it is super soft fleece on the inside, and keeps me very warm. I would recommend it anyone. Great as a layering piece or on its own. Love the grey color, will probably order a similar item in the full zip!

It's super soft and the color is amazing!! I got the grey one and I'm in love with it, it goes with everything!! Highly recommend it!!

Love this pullover! I am 5'7 and normally wear a small in a flannel shirt but got the medium for a little more room and it is perfect. I have a longer torso and the length is great. I love the vintage look with the LLBean tag on the chest - wish they would make more products like this. Only critique would be wish it came in more neutral colors (I purchased gray) like a cream or black.

This sweater fleece is the perfect upgrade to the fleece I remember wearing out back in the day. This is an instant re-classic!

Reading the other reviews, I wasn't quite sure whether to order the small or the large. I went with the small and don't regret it! I'm 5'8" 150lbs with wicked long arms, and this sweater fleece fits perfectly. It's more snug in the chest than anywhere else, but I'm a 34DD so this is to be expected. And it's not so snug that I can't breathe! I just received it today so I can't speak for the long-term quality, but it feels like genuine LL Bean. I also love the stitching detail on the left wrist! Can't wait to wear this every day!

I love the from-the-archives vintage look of this fleece, and the great tag logo. The fleece is nicely structured, and fits well. I am 5'9" and 135lb and the small fits great. I got the coral color, and am surprised by how well it works with my pale complexion. Would absolutely recommend.

Great quality.. Not 2 bulky.. Love the pockets in the front for your hands.. Fits great, I am 5 ft 8 and the arm length is not 2 short nor is the length of the pullover. I ordered an xl reg..the pullover hits at the front pockets on my jeans which is perfect.. It is also not tight in the chest.. I have problems in this area with similar name brand pull overs.. The color is just like the picture and the buttons are durable..

one of the best fabrics it is a sweatshirt and used for a sweater very comfortable and warm . I wear size 4 petite purchased xs regular the sleeves a little long easy to turn up for a cuff

Love this shirt. I had to return it for a different size and the return process was great. The shirt is great quality and I have the feeling it's going to become a favorite.

This is a very warm and comfortable sweatshirt. the only thing I don't like is the high collar. My neck is not long so it rubs along my chin bone. Otherwise, I love it.

Very nice fleece, beautiful color. I found it hard to get in and out of- tight around the neck. Prefer a full zipper.

It ran smaller than I like, otherwise great product

I wasn't planning on this purchase (was in store for another item) but lo and behold, I purchased in Sailcloth! Love the color, iconic LLBean, love the quarter snap front and its features. I tend to wear a size S and often times, it is spot on, occasionally, a bit loose or too long. The only size left in Sailcloth was XS which I nearly hesitated on, but it fits well in the body, arm length and shoulders. My only hesitation is the length of the garment which hits mid-hip. I prefer a high hip for easier movement and comfort. The sweater fleece is well made, *warm and drapes nicely. I had a long sleeve t-shirt on when I tried this on and it was very comfortable. The sweater weave combined with the inner fleece will do a nice job in Winter to hold body heat on cold days which is why I chose the purchase. However, two concerns I have is the ease or lack of to take it off. Because the fleece is in the arms which I like, the negative is that it sticks to the base layer making the arms hard to get off. Unless wearing a silk base t-shirt, be prepared for cotton to stick. My other concern, reading a few reviews on the item, the fleece around the collar is said to easily stain. I wear a tinted sunscreen 365 (fair skin). Some report the fleece holds stains and becomes unsightly. In Winter perhaps a turtleneck might manage the problem but one would hope the fabric would be forgiving to ladies who wear facial moisturizers, make-up, sunscreen, etc. Overall, I do encourage others to purchase because it is timeless and a great piece for layering. In Spring/Fall, it can also be an outer layer for cooler days but definitely not for Winter without a jacket or vest.

This top is a little heavier than the polartec fleece tops. Good for colder days. The dark pink color is rich and it fits well (petite)
