Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Sweater Fleece Full Zip Jacket

I am 5'1 and 115-llbs. Got this fleece in a Petite XS. It fits well and feels great on. And I love the color (Sienna Clay).

I ordered this in a medium, Sienna Clay color. It fits perfectly, the color is handsome without being garish. The weight is genuinely medium, and the material is thick enough to stop wind fairly well. My only complaint is the LLBean tag on the front, which is annoying and makes the jacket less able to look dressy. Evidently it is glued as well as sewn on, so cannot be removed.

This is a great fitting, warm and cozy sweater/jacket. Definitely recommend you buy one...I've got two!

Would buy this item in an instant if it wasn't for the logo. I hate wearing advertisement on my clothes!

Great purchase. This is the second sweater fleece full-zip jacket I have bought. Great colors and look good with almost anything. They are well made and last!

This is my second sweater fleece jacket and I love it. This time I choose the pewter... which is beautiful in that it is a soft gray and goes well with anything. My other is the Sienna Clay one of my favorite colors. Yesterday at Clinic, I met a young woman who works there and she was wearing this fleece jacket in the Sienna Clay. We both raved about how comfortable it is and how much we like the colors offered. I was wearing my pewter jacket. My only concern is that the lower arms are a bit snug.

LOVE this sweater/fleece. It rolls up and doesn't wrinkle. It's sooo soft. It's warm. It goes with everything. It's well made. I wish it came in black, but black wasn't an option this year. Too bad.

These fleece sweater jackets could almost make me look forward to winter.....I really enjoy wearing them. I have purchased 3 over 3 yrs. I didn't need 3, but what can I say. They are so warm & snuggly. I even use one when I'm not feeling well, just because it helps with a chill. They wash perfectly, and my 1st one looks every bit as good as my newest one. Here's is the only thing that gave me a bit of a "bummer" feeling when I opened the new teal colored one......I wish LLBean had left the tag off the front. My 2 older ones have this neat little pine tree logo tag on the bottom of the hem. Very discreet. I have no problem with it. My newest one has the colorful, LLBean tag on the chest. If I was positive I could remove it, w/out hurting the jacket, I'd try. I hate being an advertisement. I've had lots of friends tell me how much they like these jackets and I never hesitate to tell them where I got them......It is not necessary to outwardly & obviously Brand-tag all outer clothing.

I wear a 1X women's and those jackets are difficult to find. It is roomy enough to wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. This fleece jacket is the perfect item for these Fall days - light weight and warm enough for those pre-winter temps.

I have owned Patagonia Better Sweaters for years, was looking for a new one and came across this LL Bean version for half the price! I ordered and was not disappointed. I actually like it better than Patagonia. It has a slimmer, longer fit which was pleasantly surprising since I have always found LL Bean to run too wide on me. Ordered a size small, I am 140lb, 5.4" and fit is perfect. Highly recommend!

This beautiful sweater fleece is stylish, warm and very well constructed. The fit is true and the petite small is perfect for my 5ft 4in 110 lb frame. The zipper is heavy duty and works well. The sailcloth color is a classic cream color that goes with everything. The quality is top notch and overall this sweater far exceeded my expectations. Like many others I do not like the LLB logo that is showing up on way too many items.

I am amazed by the quality and fit. It has more shape some of my other llbean purchases and runs true to size. Some of my other purchases seemed too loose. Recommend this jacket to anyone. It is gorgeous BUT as others have said the logo is a little too noticeable. Maybe it would have looked better placed the bottom of jacket and a little smaller?

This is a beautifully tailored jacket and looks very nice on. I called for the actual garment measurements and wasn't sure on sizing. I ordered sapphire blue in large petite. I am 5'3 160 lbs. The fit was great, I have to roll the sleeves up one. It falls at the low hip. It is a WARM jacket, expect that. However, the Spruce only came in regular and because I love the color I ordered it and found out the reg. large did not fit me! It was too large across the shoulders, bulky. Wish it came in petite! Called LL Bean and they graciously exchanged on phone for the medium regular while I send it back. Hope that fits. The petite XL was too big for me in sailcloth. At least I know my size now. I hope this can help others. Enjoy your day.

Ordered this in large and the clay color. Fits great and love the color.

Love this sweater zip jacket - great fit. Order your normal size - fit is not too big, not too small, but just right. Comfortable and soft and looks great. Oh, and did I mention, I LOVE the logo - it just adds such a nice touch.

Like all LL Bean which I have purchased over the years this sweater jacket is well constructed and well designed. The high collar keeps wind off the neck. The actual fabric holds in a person's own body heat in a comfortable way, being warm and not to hot. I teach art at a public school here in western NM. Our mornings are chilly... 49 degrees today and this jacket over a long sleeve polo shirt was Good! Since I am in a portable classroom the temperature varies during the day and my new jacket was perfect for slipping on and off. I had been concerned that the cuff, the sleeve opening would not stretch, but it does and just enough to be comfortable. I love the color... sienna clay. Being that I am just over five ft. three, I got the petite medium and it fits great. Bulky sleeves on the shirt you are wearing underneath can be a problem... the sleeves are not tight, but trim and a bulky shirt or sweater will not feel comfy. I am looking forward to wearing this often.

This fleece is very warm and extremely comfortable. I am 5'4" and 170 lbs and bought petite xl. Fit is perfect. I have not tried layering as it is already so warm. I get compliments all the time. The sailcloth color goes well with everything. L L Bean -- please make the petite in all the colors. Us shorties already feel put upon with clothes for taller people where the waist hits us at the hips.

I love this jacket and own 3 of them. It is well fitting and true to size. Super warm for whatever climate. I was looking to order another one this year but wanted it in BLACK and they no longer carry black. Shoiuld have purchased it last year. Great Jacket! PLEASE bring back the color black.

I have a few sweater fleece jackets, and I love them!! However, this new batch of jackets has the LLBean logo on them! None of my other jackets has the logo. I prefer no logos -- they seem to be on everything now!

I love this sweater jacket! The sizing is not typical of llbean, which is great. I normally find that I have to order an XS as llbean items are cut larger and boxier. This fits slim but truly does run TTS. It shrunk ever so slightly after a wash and dry. I ordered a small, which is my usual size in other brands. For reference, I am 5 7' and 135lb. Please make this in a navy! This is warm and great fitting jacket!

I haven't worn this out yet (still 90 degrees in my area :) ), but it is so soft and very comfortable. I bought a size medium so I could layer (my arms are also a tad longer than most, and I wanted to make sure the sleeve length fit), and it fits great without being too bulky. For reference, I'm 140 lbs. I'm very impressed with the quality and overall feel, and can't wait for fall and winter!

Petite XS fits well, but the collar is stiff on one side where zipper ends and doesn't lay flat when not zipped all the way up.

Overall this is a very nice sweater jacket. My only problem is the collar is too stiff and difficult to lay flat. Hopefully it will soften over time.

Unfortunately, my skin tone didn't work with any color except Pewter. I was hoping to find a toasted almond, or something more classic. I dislike pastels, too everywhere.

I thought that the sweater was just as described in the webpage, and confirmed with the person that helped me over the phone. The color was very close to the picture.
