Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

It arrived with out its original plastic wrap it looked as if it had been handled or worn no slip in bag for return. It fit very tight and since I have another in same style I feel possibly mismarked. Just not the usual LL Bean service. I sent it back.

I am in love with this design and wish they made these for taller women. I am happy LL Bean does plus sizes, but even the plus sizes are way too short on me. I would buy every color if they were 2 inches longer.

This is a replacement jacket. The first one had the cuffs come unraveled after two months.

I really can't say how this fits, as it is both too large and too small. It mostly sits in my closet, as it's just not comfortable to wear. First, the fabric is really stiff. I thought it would soften with wear, but no such luck. And the weird fit only makes the stiffness more annoying. I have a closetfull of Bean's tops, and they all fit fine, but not this one. It's narrow in the hips, as if it were cut for a man. The shoulders are wide - and I have relatively broad shoulders. The neck opening is a bit narrow. And worst of all, the neck is too tall. Maybe I have a short neck, but this is just uncomfortable. It rubs my ears, knocks my earrings off and hits the back of my head. And if I try to snap it up, it covers my mouth and hits my nose. This, combined with the stiffness, makes it almost useless. Think twice before you order this!

This pullover was stiff and scratchy. It looked like someone sewed it up on the wrong side of the fabric - the softer fleece on the inside and the binding like exterior. It did not fit comfortably nor feel smooth to the touch. A manufacturing snafu? I returned it.

Fabric felt very oily....never felt anything like it before. Fit well. Had to return due to poor quality of the fleece.

I had to return it,it runs very small

I purchased the Bean's Sweater Fleece Pullover in a "Misses" size Medium for my wife for the holidays. Turns out the "misses" run smaller than normal and now the product is on back-order when we tried to return it. Not a positive experience.

Scratchy and uncomfortable. It's stiff. Almost liked sweater that had been washed and shrunk.

This sweater fleece does not fit well especially in the shoulder and head area. When I put it on, it was very snug going over my head. Taking it off was even more difficult; I could not get the top off by myself and needed someone else to help get it over my head. Needless to say it is going back. I usually wear a medium w LLbean tops, but this one does not seem like it was cut correctly in the shoulders or head/neck opening. Kicking myself for NOT having read the 1 star reviews before ordering.

I would love to buy this sweater but won't because I don't need the LLBean label on the outside. This looks like free advertising for LLB that we pay for ourselves. LLB, please leave the labels off your clothes. I won't buy them. If people want to know where I bought this, I am happy to tell them.

I was really looking forward to this fleece. It's hard to find a quarter zip/snap pullover for women that has some weight to it. However, the fit was very off. I normally wear a M in LLBean womens' wear but the quarter snap wasn't quite deep enough and was difficult to get over my head. The worst thing was that the shoulders were about 1.5" too narrow. Although the M body fit me, I felt like the neck opening and the shoulders were a Petite XS. Needless to say, I sent these back.

Very disappointed for the first time in 40 years of doing business with your company. Where's the fleece? The title doesn't adequately reflect the product. It's a knit sweater with a brushed fleece lining. I'm retuning a product. Never did that before. It was probable cheaper for your company to produce an authentic fleece pulllover.

I wanted to love this... I really did. I'm 5'10, 140 lbs with an athletic build and according to measurements a medium should have fit perfectly.. BUT this is not built for women who have any kind of shoulder muscle or wide shoulders because this thing is constricting. I would try a large but the medium was already too baggy in the waist for me. The other problem I had is that the sleeves were too short. Altogether, just an awkward fit, very disappointed.

Great pullover except one of the plastic buttons fell off the first time I wore it today. I wish there was a way I could get just a replacement button since the rest of the pullover is fine. I usually shop exclusively online since I don't live near any store locations but I don't want to pay return shipping because of a product defect. I love this brand but I'm sadly disappointed by the quality.

I did not like this fabric at all and the fit was not good for me. I am old and I have been wearing regular fleece for a long time and I do not like the sweater fleece.

I purchased this after I got the same in the jacket. I loved the jacket so much, I thought this would be great also. Something is not right with the fit on this. It is very, very hard to get on over your head--I even ordered a size larger than normal. Too bad....

I wish I had read the negative ratings before I ordered this. Love the color. Wanted a fleece pullover. As others said: neck opening makes it difficult to get on and almost impossible to get off. The shoulders and underarms are bulky and bunchy. In designing new items add a step which has ordinary people put on the garment. This would never have passed the test.

Love all your clothes, and this looks cozy. But I am NOT wearing a pullover with a giant, green L.L. Bean logo on my chest! Not cool.

I am tall and thin (6'0"/weigh 145);ordered a large (as I usually do with no problems). This sweater is too roomy in the torso and too tight fit in the shoulders. Didn't want to order XL; shoulders might fit, but the torso would be even larger! Sadly I am returning. Material is cozy, but the fit is off.

I've been a regular Bean customer for over 30 years & was looking forward to this sweater-fleece for fall. As soon as I took the sweater-fleece pullover out of the bag, I knew was not going to like it. The outer side of the fabric feels stiff & scratchy, and the shoulders were cut very narrow. I normally wear XS or Small in Bean tops, sweaters & jackets. I ordered a Small so I would be able to wear tees or turtlenecks underneath it. Once I got it on (without another shirt underneath it), I could barely get it back over my head to take it off! I'm very disappointed in the fabrics & fit of some of Bean's clothing lately. Since I have free shipping & returns with my Bean card, I'll continue to shop with Bean, but I'm definitely sending this item back!

Purchased this garment last year to wear during the cold winter instead of the big cashmere sweater I hang out in! This garment is weirdly SHAPed and does not breathe! It is heavy feeling when on and is not something that has a lot of comfort. Rarely do I buy something at llbean that I hate, but this thing ranks right up there. I have no idea where they got this fabric! I have lots of fleece items from Bean and they are soft and comfortable. This thing is like cardboard! It has no redeeming features that I can think of and I even, after writing all this, should probably send it back because it really does leave a bad taste in my mouth with respect to the company.

I was surprised at the quality of this sweater. The body was too tight and the sleeves too long. I had never received such a poorly constructed item from LLBean. Perhaps this was just an odd one and the rest are okay. Back it went.

Odd fit. Would definitely order one or two sizes up. Was accustomed to LLBean advertising at waist with same color stitching. I immediately took a seam ripper and removed the brightly colored LLBean patch near my face. You will need to pay me if you want me to advertise for you with a patch like you've placed on this item. Is cozy and warm and the fabric is nice but the fit and patch make it very disappointing. Care tags are not in English. LLBean has been more disappointing than satisfying lately. :(

I wanted to like this sweater but back to LLBean it went. The first thing I noted was the difficulty putting it on--I had to struggle to get it over my head. The neck opening should go down at least another inch or so. But if that was hard, getting it off was even harder! This garment is not as stretchy as your usual fleece. The other disappointment was the exceptionally boxy fit. There is no "drape" to the fabric, giving the shoulders a very square look. I wear XS in other LLBean clothes; I considered exchanging for an S so that I could [theoretically] get it on and off but then it would have been too large in the chest. Hip dimension would probably be too small for a pear-shaped figure, which I am not.
