Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

Lovely colors, and very nice looking top but I didn't like the gray trim on both the colors I got: Green and purple. Matching trim would look so much nicer. The main problem is the head opening is too small, so I had trouble getting on and off my head and shoulders. My husband had to help get me out of this. And I also did not think this was as warm as I had hoped. Went ahead and sent back already.

I originally ordered this fleece in medium, based on sizing chart this should have fit me. It was overall too tight to wear over winter clothing so gave to my teen daughter who loves it. She is tall and thin and looks fine on her. I then ordered the large for myself. While the quality of the items seems great the fit on me was not flattering. The boxy cut added 10 pounds to my shape especially the middle where the pocket it. I sadly returned this item.

I loved the fabric and the color (teal) and the basic styling, but this top runs very small in the hips. Usually the large in the slightly fitted sizing fits me nicely- roomy enough but with some shape- but this one was way too tight in the hips. If I got an XL it would be way too big on top. Had to send it back.

I have purchased many wonderful items over the years from Bean and will continue to do so. This particular one fit well in every area but the bust. I am not planning to enhance my breasts any time soon so I sent it back. Should fit well-endowed ladies fine. I found the material a bit stiff as well.

I thought this would be really soft, but it wasn't; so I returned it. It also ran large - I bought a medium, am usually an 8 - 5'4", 130#. It was made really well; just not what I was looking for.

Heavier, thicker and stiffer than I was expecting. Would have preferred a lighter weight and softer feel.

Bean's Sweater Fleece is an excellent product. It is made very well, the material was exactly what I was looking for. Soft & Warm! I am generally a petite size medium, But with Bean's I can often purchase misses size & the item will fit fine--just a big longer. In the case of the Sweater Fleece---the length was 1/2 down my leg and the body of the garment was way to snug--I purchased a misses medium. I loved it so much I brought it to my tailor to see if it could be hemmed---not worth it!! Very upset I had to return this item---I have searched for a sweater fleece that will fit---I am still on the Hunt!! Possibly Bean's might consider petite sizing in this item, Frankly it fit like "Signature Style" It should have fit like a Bean's item---which I have come to love for quality, value & choice.

I like this fleece alot but it is way too long for me. I weight ~125 and am 5" 2".

I'm 5 feet 3 and 125 lb, and I ordered M. I had some trouble trying to pull it over my head. After I put it on, I noticed the shoulder seams were almost two inches inside of my natural shoulders. I could not possibly wear it comfortably, so I'm debating wether to return it, or, exchange it with size L. I'm 125 lb., and I usually wear size 8. I think the sizing is way off.

After only wearing 3 or 4 times, the hem pulled away on the right side. You know, where one pulls it down. I think it could be sturdier stitching but I do love the pullover so I ordered another one in exchange. Here's hoping the new one is better.

This garment is very warm and a beautiful color. Sadly the fit for me was poor. Too tight in the chest and shoulders and sleeves too long, so I figured a larger size would not work. I am 147lbs and 5'6". I ordered the medium. Length was good.

I waited quite a while because this was on backorder. So when it finally came, I was anticipating really liking it. But it fits oddly. It is just not flattering. The small fit well, but it just looks strange because of the way the bottom is made. So, sadly, I am returning it. Also, the collar and placket are in this strange color and material. I got the teal and it has this nasty grayish color material around that area. The color of that material does not go well with the teal. So back it goes. Too bad, I was very much looking forward to wearing it.........

I was given this style LL Bean sweater as a gift in another color, and decided I would purchase one for myself in a new color, as I really liked the style and fit. The color Boulder looked brown on my own, and several other devices, but I decided to confirm before I made a purchase. The rep I CHAT with went away to get info, then returned and confirmed the sweater color named Boulder was brown. I was so disappointed when it arrived as it is green, confirmed by a dozen other people. Not one of us saw brown of any shade, it is green. Now I have to return it

Lovely color, nice material. The fit is just all wrong. The pullover is way too tight in the shoulders and upper arms, otherwise fit is ok. I tried Medium, which is usual size and it was small generally, but especially so in shoulders and upper arms. I returned that and ordered a Large, expecting that to work, but it was also too small in the shoulders and upper arms. I returned that and bought a Men's pullover in size Medium. Lots of rigmarole to get to a satisfactory outcome. First time I had such challenges with the fit of a fleece from LL Bean.

Kinda small wish it had been a size bigger but I think it was sold out

Fits on the small side especially through the waist area.

This sweater fleece is nice, however, I have only worn it once and do not see myself wearing it much more, except for maybe around the house. Because the collar is very high, my tinted moisturizer has stained the cream colored trim (I purchased the Sailcloth color). I was not able to wash all of it out, so I foresee the collar staying permanently discolored and worsening with continual wear. I will not be able to wear it out like I had originally intended because the stains are very noticeable and unattractive. This is my second purchase from L.L. Bean, and now a very expensive mistake. My first purchase was the full zip quilted sweatshirt, which I recommend.

The Medium was too snug, hard to get on and off. The large was too big and loose looking. Sent all back. Like the oatmeal color however.

hard to get on and off, tight even though a size larger than my normal t-shirts

The pullover washes out of shape. I've dried it flat always, but in successive washes it has lost shape, especially around the bottom edge and at the shoulders. Doesnt look good on anymore.

My husband can order XL in anything and know it will fit. I order XL petites and it's always a guess, usually a bad one. My biggest complaint is that the people who make these garments for women don't realize that if she needs an XL, her arms are probably large too. Otherwise the garment is beautiful and I love the color. Just can't wear it.

I own several of this style. They always look nice, wash and hang dry well. I've not had a problem with pilling or misshaping. I wear them layered and am usually warm on cooler days

I had high hopes for this fleece and ended up sorely disappointed. I wanted a fleece with a pocket and this one fits that bill. However, the pocket lining hangs below the hem of the fleece when used to hold any item, light or heavy. And to make it worse, the material used to create the pocket is white, which is a horrible aesthetic with a blue fleece! Why would you do that? Justwhy? I didn't find the material to be particularly soft, which is very noticeable when the collar is snapped up and it rubs my neck. It's overpriced for the quality in my estimation. I have a fleece from a competitor that I paid much less for and has a much higher rate of satisfaction for me (just no front pocket!) It's also warmer/more comfortable to wear than this one. Nevertheless, this LL Bean one fits true to size; sleeve length is good also. I do like the color, Arctic Blue, but overall, very disappointed.

Not actually very long in the arms. Im just shy of 6'0" and it barely reaches my wrists.

I loved the color of this sweater, however, the collar was much too high for me. Unfortunately, I had to return this sweater.
