Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

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!
