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

This jacket is a good addition to my winter wardrobe. It's warm without being too hot to wear indoors. The fit is flattering and comfortable. Also, I have received several compliments on the Artic Blue color.

Warm, plenty of pockets, dresses up or casual. Fabric is a nice change from fleece.

I love the look of this jacket hanging in the store. When I found one in my size (I usually have to get a 1X size in LLBean tops to get the sleeves to fit) I ordered it right away. I hadnt noticed while looking at them in the store that the pocket lining didnt match the outer jacket & is often visible while wearing it (no the sizing isnt incorrect) It was some sort of flannel white-ish gray color that I have found in inexpensive jeans. Still debating whether to keep or not as I really DONT like that look.

I bought this full zip fleece because I wanted pockets that zip up. (I am tired of having my iPhone fall out of my pocket when I sit down.) LLBean calls this a "sweater" fleece. It is not soft material like a sweater, a bit stiffer perhaps because of a synthetic fabric used. However, it's ok. The mallard blue color is lovely and the fit great. And it is warm. The problem is that within two months, the zipper on the right pocket failed to work. I opened it, and then when I went to zip it up closed, it wouldn't. On closer inspection I saw that one could not see the bottom stop of the zipper (was it sewn inside the garment?), and that the zipper tracks were quite lightweight nylon. I think the zipper had pulled apart and there was no way to get the slider to join up the two sides and get it to work again. I have bought full zip fleece jackets from LLBean before, and ones with zip pockets, and this is the first time I have seen a zipper like this. A better quality zipper is needed.

This jacket is generously sized in the body, but the sleeves and hem are rather short. Unfortunately, washing it only exacerbated this issue and caused significant pilling.

I have been wearing this wonderfully warm Fleece when I go out to the doctors, library, everywhere. It is a beautiful color of blue and looks much more attractive than an ordinary fleece.

Wish it was better quality. Its very flattering on, but both pocket zippers have stopped working, & arms have developed a huge amount of pills after having been worn only 3-4 times. This is the 2nd review on a product I have written in the last month, after NEVER having a problem in the 40 odd years Ive been ordering from LL Bean. Whats up with Quality Control.

I bought this jacket and initially loved it. But then after about two months the zipper on the pocket broke. I figured it was just a freak thing. I called LL Bean and they quickly sent me a replacement and a label to return my defective jacket. I have the new jacket for only about two weeks when the zipper on the new jacket breaks. While LL Bean will hopefully send me another one, I am becoming very frustrated. A big reason I bought this one over cheaper options was because of the zipper pockets.

I love these jackets. This is my second. Have one a couple years old and wanted a new one in case they discontinue this style! My first is gray and this time got the blue. They are beautiful jackets, can dress up or go casual. I am 511, 150 lbs and a Tall M fits me perfectlysleeves and all. The fit is great, not too fitted but the length is slimming and keeps you warm. Its for great fall, winter (with a warm base layer ) and spring in Montana. Probably a bit heavy for summers. Washes up super well!

I like Beans sweater jackets. Theyve comfortable, stylish, and versatile. The fit is true to size. I have a muted purple one from a previous season. While I very much like the raisin brown color of this jacket, I dont care for the pink trim. I decided to return it.

I really love this jacket. However, I got the royal blue, and the liners of the pockets are white. So, unless the pockets are always zipped closed, the white liners show badly. Not a good look.

Fits well. Ordered a small. Im 56, 130 lbs and is fitted but not too tight. I can wear this under other jackets too. Like the sweater so much that I purchased for family members.

Advertising is TOO WOKE how about not shoving your woke views down everyone's throat.

Love the color and style. Didn't have a choice in size. Had to get a large. Too big/long and can't adjust the sleeve length.

Was so excited to get this jacket for Christmas from husband. It is soft, warm and looks great on. Wore jacket 3 times and zipper broke on pocket ... very frustrating considering price... thus the lower rating.

Product was everything that we anticipated. Thank you.

I started working from home this year. I live in the Northeast, but dont want to crank up the heat if its just me at home during the day. The jacket plus my Bean slippers keep me plenty warm while working!

Bought this jacket for my mom who lives in a drafty old colonial house and is uncomfortable with the cold all winter long. She loves the quality of the material and the warmth that it provides. She also very much appreciate that it fits very snuggly and there arent a lot of air gaps to trap cold air.

The best light sweater. Its just as quality as the expensive brands. I got the raisin color and Ill be buying more colors.

While the cut and quality seem as good as other sweater fleeces I have, the one I purchased this year (full zip, sail cloth color, regular fit) seems to have much shorter sleeves than years past. Sadly, I will need to return because the sleeves are not going to keep me warm and cozy that short!

Twelve family members received the sweater fleece jacket or coat or pullover for gifts. All 12 were perfect in size, color, shipment details and dates. It feels as though I have a personal elf at LLBean!

I brought this sweater because I mainly work outdoors (even in the winter) and thought this item would be an additional layer of warmth. However, on the every first day I worn it. The side zipper broke. Ended up returning due to damage.

We actually had to return this product since it did not fit very well.
