Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

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.

I ordered this pullover fleece sweater. Beautiful color, but it smelled so bad I had to return it. I could not get the smell out of my room for days. It was made in a factory in Jordan. What a shame. What a waste.

I had to return the first one because it was the smallest medium top of any type that I have ever bought from Bean. The replacement in large arrived today and while the size is better the smell is a deal breaker. The chemical odor is so strong that the room continued to smell like it even after the sweater was returned to the plastic bag and shipping bag. Customer service apologized and said to send it back, exchange it,or I could wash it and then send it back if the odor remained. Fair enough, but I would like to know the cause of the odor before keeping anything.

I was excited to receive this sweater in the mail but as soon as I opened the package, I couldn't believe how badly the material smelled! I am not sure if it is treated with something for flame retardancy or something like that but it is so chemically, it is gross. I'm shipping it back. And, the sizing was weird. Very boxy. I'm hardly 5'4" and 120lbs and a small seemed too tight in some spots and too big in others. Not good.

I was disappointed with this purchase. Bought in medium, The arms are too short and the torso is too big. The torso bunches up and its not fitting in a cozy or flattering way. The buttons are hard to snap. The neck is a little too tight too when the buttons are snapped. Just a weird fitting top overall! Dislike, sending back.

This item has a really bad odor. Will need to return.

I wore the shirt once and wash it ! Coming out of the dryer the bottom hem had fell apart. Returned it and had them ship me another one hopefully this one will not fall apart!
