Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

Well made, but sized smaller than previous versions which makes the fit not as comfortable.

Looking for a warm top easy to care for and attractive, this fits the bill. I am 5' 6" tall, weigh 126 lbs. It could be a tad looser so it is easy to change out of but this is a small quibble.

Christmas present we must wait and see what the recipient thinks of it.

Warm and I like the Plum color. Ordered a size up because I wanted a loose fit.

Warm, fits great through shoulders & waist. It would perfect if sizes included women's tall. It's a good length but it would be better an inch or 2 longer for me. I'm 6' with long arms.

The sweater looks nice but it shrank in length a bit after a few washes.

Loved the pullover but had to return it after I realized that the pocket would come out from under the jacket like a slip showing. This happened as I would put my cell phone in or my hands. Tried sewing it up but that did not resolve the problem ans only made it uglier. Would love to order this again if the pocket problem is taken care of

Very soft. Beautiful color. Didn't keep it bc of the waistband. Size up if you don't want the waist to be tight.

I have 2 at home I bought at least a year ago. Warm, not too heavy to wear indoors when keeping heat low (+- 63), great fitting, lots of colors, and looks good at home, shopping, the ball game and hiking. The only problem is with wear, the material becomes pilled and is difficult to scrape with sharp edges dye like wool sweaters.

Like this shirt to wear independently or under a vest in colder weather.

I loved the color but it was to wide. I wish it had a drawstring at the bottom that would help a ton. Sadly had to return.

Super warm and comfy. I've had my pullover and full-zip for a couple years. Things to know: the chest label is easily removable with a seam ripper and 5 minutes of patience. Once through the wash and you won't see a trace. I find the sleeves are a bit tight which makes me size up. The fabric does pill a bit after some wear, but it's not a deal-breaker for me because this thing is so warm. Finally, if you place heavy things like keys in the pouch pocket, the lining will slouch and will show. Personally, I just use my pants pocket instead because, again, this fleece is so warm and I love it. Probably gonna get another one.

This is the product what i expected

Disclaimer: I will probably order a small of this pull-over, should I buy another one (and it still exist) the next time, because while I can get myself into it without effort, getting out is a little tricky. HOWEVER, I chose the extra small, and that is not the size I always pick for other brands of tops, AND this purchase was the first time I bought LL Bean clothes before, SO, (slight) lesson learned! That aside, I love that this sweater can be layered over their flannel shirts, another item I purchased in the order. The two together keep one comfortable on chillier spring and, presumably, summer nights. As I bought this a couple of months ago, I have not been able to test it out in the fall and winter. However, I will wager it will do its job just fine so long as the outdoor temperatures stay above the high 50's, with the mid-50's pushing it. This is a great pull-over no thicker than fleece but not over-insulating, so one can, again, layer a flannel or other top underneath. The stitching and overall appearance of the sweater is top-notch. I love the color I chose (red) and the front fanny-pack-like pocket also. Thanks, LL Bean! :-)

I got this pullover in Spruce and the color is just gorgeous! This is the first sweater fleece I've bought and usually get XL but Spruce wasn't available in that size so I went with the 1X and it is essentially the same. Our area experienced an ice storm and a tree in front of my house had a lot of damage so I wore this pullover exclusively when cleaning up the big mess. I don't recall doing it, but I must have rubbed against the front of the pullover because the pouch area really pilled, something I would never have thought would happen. I love the top so had to very carefully trim the pills away to make it presentable. I do love it for chilly walks--the pouch is great for carrying my phone, house key and tissues. Overall, I would buy it again but be careful what I do while wearing.

I love the quality of this sweater! And it is warm enough to wear alone on 30-40F temp. It is a loose fit for me though, that's the only reason why I would give only 4 stars. I wish there was a petite xxs.

Overall a great sweater fleece. Glad I ordered the large. It's good looking, comfortable and functional. Wish the snap placket had been a bit longer for an easier on off, as well as the Kangaroo pocket had been tacked down since the it tends to peek out below the hem when in use.

Liked this fleece, but it would be even better if the neck placket was longer. As is, the neck opening is too tight for easy on and off.

Bought this for cold days when I'm knocking around the house. I have two of the L.L. Bean fleece-lined flannel shirts, and I wear those when I truly don't need to leave the house, but they're fairly baggy on me -- not flattering, and not really presentable for being out, even for walking the dog. This sweater fleece pullover is as warm as the fleece-lined flannel -- there were a few moments when it felt a little TOO warm indoors -- and it has a more tailored fit. (It probably helps that it comes in a petite, which the fleece-lined flannel doesn't.) I would feel good about wearing this out on errands or to any casual destination. The collar is a bit stiff, but I'm hoping it'll relax after a few washings. Likewise, for pure comfort, so far the flannel-lined fleeces still reign, but maybe after more washings and wearings, this pullover will get comfier.

Love this sweater, but it is a little on the smaller side for LL Bean stuff. I can always wear a small to medium very comfortably with LL Bean... this sweater was a little on the small size.

Nice color & material, does not show pet hair like fleece. The pouch is good for warming your hands, but the neck could be more open and the overall sweater longer. Attached is my previous sweater with the beautiful pattern and colors I love; my husband bought the same for men, different colors. We are long time Bean customers and wish they would bring back beautiful colors like red, royal blue, turquoise. The new fleece jackets in men size are too fitted, colors too drab. I am only 5'6" but have to buy men's jackets in L because they are longer.

Very pleased with this (on sale) sweater fleece. It's quite comfortable and roomy enough for layering. Like the "pouch" pocket. Not crazy about the collar, a bit annoying - wish it was a little softer. Also, chronic complaint, wish the logo did not have to be so prominent. How about on the wrist area or the hip area. However, at the sale price it was a no-brainer

Nicely made. Gave a 4 out of 5. Fleece ran a little small. Can still wear it by itself.

Very nice jacket. Made well, but fits a bit snugly with a turtleneck under it.

My mistake. I thought I was ordering a sweater style fleece top but the item is a knit sweater lined with fleece. It's a nice top but not what I intended to buy. Even as an easily chilled person, the sweater is too warm for me and doesn't drape as loosely as I'd like (I am busty) due to the double fabric.
