Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

much too long. i am begging LL Bean to make this in a petite size. i loved it and wanted to keep it, but it was way too long. warm and cozy. well worth the price if you are tall (i am 5'1 and bought the xs)

I normally buy size large in tops. This pullover was very tight. I had to return it.

Love the purple color (why I bought it) but it runs huge. I ordered the XL and it fit like a 2X, downsize on this one.

Although the quality of the sweater was good, I had ordered it in my usual size of medium petite and it was a tight fit overall and the bottom band was very very tight, which made me have to return it. I did not like the lower restricting hemline. I am 5'1" tall and 127 pounds.

Fit is awkward. The sides bulge out w/bunch of excess material making it look ungainly. Also hard to get off. Material nice did feel warm and snuggly. But plan on returning it as it is so hard to get off. Measurements just seem scewed!

I was disappointed in the fit of the product. A bit too bulky in the body for my taste. I returned it.

Would have liked a bolder color selection and partial zip front -hard getting in and out of this sweater. But it is made well and I like to layer it and then don't need a coat which is nice!

I wish I could like the sweater fleeces. I find them heavy in contrast to the regular fleece shirts, and generally a bit narrower all around than I prefer. This one is very pretty and a good selection for those who like it.

Great shirt/sweater. Hefty and warm. I am a size XS - 0-2. I ordered a size Small and it was far too tight..even to allow a shirt underneath. Not my objective. Loved the raisin color, but it went back to Freeport toot-sweet.

The collar is taller than my neck. Sleeves are too long. Rest of the jacket fit well. Nice structured look. I tried to get the tall collar to work but it won't stay folded over, I looked at reviews and saw that some reviewers liked the collar because they have a long neck.

I ordered tall. I'm 5'10" , I don't consider myself that tall. It fits regular size great and tall not so great!

I love this fleecey sweater pullover with kangaroo pockets - it is comfortable, just the right weight, and very warm despite being not at all bulky. But the stitching on the sleeve cuffs, *both cuffs, popped after just 2 or 3 times wearing it! I had to return/replace it. I'm very surprised by the quality of the stitching. I hope the replacement holds up better.

Warm and true to size. I didn't care for the fit personally though

I ordered the Regular Large Sweater Fleece Full-Zip Jacket for me and this Petite Large Sweater Fleece Pullover for my 99 year-old Midwestern Mom to wear inside as she is often cold. The Petite Large Pullover actually fit me better than the Regular Large even though I am 5 ft. 7 in. and 149 lbs. The sleeves of the Petite Large were only a little longer than necessary and the pullover was not so clingy in the hips as the Full-Zip Jacket. I preferred the straight hemline in the back of the pullover as compared to the extended "shirt-tail" hemline of the full-zip jacket. But, I need a full-zip jacket for layering in the outdoors. The Petite Large sleeves would have been too long and and the hip area too snug for Mom, so I returned this pullover. Unfortunately, the Full-Zip Jacket I ordered was too clingy for me.

I love everything from Bean but this sweater fleece, not so much. I always wear an XL in other brands, in Bean its got to be 1X because they tend to focus on making clothes for petite little women and not real women. So I got the 1X, loved it at first sight, put it on and my husband started laughing, which lead me to laugh. The sweater fleece was uber short, the sleeves from the elbow down were like bell sleeves. And the chest, you would of thought I put on a children's top. Im going to chalk this up to Bean having a sense of humor but this sweater is going back, real fast. Just disappointed I have to pay to ship it. Bean, please check your products better before selling them! Thank you!

This just arrived today and I tried it on. I ended up thinking I would have to call a neighbor to get me get out of it. I am large-busted and the bias tape binding on the hem has no give whatsoever, so I had an awful time pulling it back over my torso and head. I like this pullover otherwise, so I spent the afternoon removing the bias tape from hem and sleeves and will do some hand stitching to secure them. I will also follow the suggestion of another reviewer and remove the flashy LL Bean label on the front. I am sure part of the price I paid has already been directed to your advertising budget. All things, considered, a nice and warm top that required some revisions.

wish the arms had more room, weren't so tight, not all of us have skinny little arms

The trim color is a little too dark and the fit is a little baggy.

Excellent quality and nice color, but I just couldn't figure out what to do with the high collar, so it went back. If you are looking for something to layer and wear outdoors, it might be fine. It just reminded me of that 80's GQ turned up polo collar look. More in the way than functional for my liking.

For fleece, it's not very soft. It's ok for warmth.

It is warm and mostly comfortable but is a shorter than I would like it to be. I feel like it runs a little small.

Great color, and material of nice quality. Fits a bit snug, however.

We bought two of these and like them. They are comfortable and look great. But they are VERY difficult to get on and off. My wife has dementia and I have to help her, and it's a job getting it over her head. I feel even non-impaired folks would have trouble with this. Once on, it fits well and she like it, as does everyone who sees her in it. But on and off are the pits.

The fleece is inside and the outside is woven so this isn't your traditional fleece pullover. The fabric is stiffer than plain fleece, so not what I was expecting. It is nicely warm though.

Outside isn't nice and soft - kind of rough and itchy
