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

I love much about this jacket. It is well-made, warmer than fleece (and fits more snuggly than fleece), and the tall means the sleeves are long enough for my arms. I hate that the collar wont fold down and it pushes my hair up in back, and rubs against my jaw-very irritating. I sewed the back of the collar down which helped, but the corners of the front curl up and still rub my jaw. I finally sewed some snaps to hold them down and also allow me to unsnap if I zip the jacket all the way up. I think Ill be much happier with it now, but making a collar that folds down would have been much easier. Somewhere between love and hate, I wish the zipper was 2-way so the jacket wouldnt bunch up when I am seated. I like the zip-close pockets. This will be my go-to travel jacket.

Love it! Soft, warm, comfortable, easily washable!

Bought three of these for my granddaughters. I have one just like it. I love mine!

This was a very nice jacketwarm but not bulky. I returned it because high necks like this are uncomfortable and annoying for me. I would have kept if it had normal collared neck.

The quality was nice but the arms have almost no stretch at all and are the smallest plus size arms Ive ever encountered. Im almost always an XL or 1x, and the 1x didnt fit at all. I really wanted to like this, but I would need to order a size up and wouldnt be able to wear anything long sleeve underneath even in the bigger size. For $100, just not what Im looking for

True to size. Medium or more density, is warm. I bought the raisin color since I like plum tones. When I saw this online I wondered if it looked a little on the brown toned, but it doesnt, its more of a deep plum.

This is a replacement jacket - I wore my first one out during Covid. Whether its for the office, a walk, or even as a swim coverup, this jacket performs with both comfort and style.

So warm. Ive this jacket. Its the perfect jacket for inside or outside. Keeps you warm without being hot.

I bought a sweater/fleece jacket last year in a large, and it fit perfectly. I recently bought the same jacket in the same size, but in another color, It didn't fit the same. It was cut smaller and was too tight. I returned the sweater for an exchange one size larger.

Great sweaterwarm, cuddly, and good fitting. Id like another half inch in sleeve length (medium) for it it be ideal. I wear it constantly.

one of my favorite colors. I am a bit surprised at how tight this sweater was. I have bought many sweaters from you, this one needs to be listed as fits smaller than your regular sweaters

This would be a 5 star, but the pocket zipper separated the second time I wore it. It's a warm and cozy sweater and the neck doesn't itch (I was afraid it would). It's perfect for winters in Tucson.

I purchased this for my Mom, she loves it. This is the second one Ive bought for her. Greater quality, warm & cozy, true to size

Next time wait till after Christmas to send these emails. I was the recipient of this gift, and got the email on Christmas Eve. I love the shirt, by the way.

It makes you look boxed, thus wasn't designed well for women's bodies. It should fit more snugly around the hips and flatter the figure more. Instead it makes you look heavier and kind of boxy shaped.... Will return this.. Im also not happy that you have to pay shipping for returns.

This is a very warm sweatshirt. I ended up returning it because it is very thick - more of a jacket. I wanted something lighter weight that I could layer. This seemed a bit too heavy for me. I love the color and that it is a bit longer to cover the hips, but just not quite what I was looking for. Very easy return process!

LLBean Sweater Fleece jackets are attractive, warm and comfortable. Given our colder winter temps, I frequently wear one. They launder well too.

Wonderful warm jacket. I have several in different colors. There is one problem with many of these jackets, and that is the lining of the pockets are in a different color from the jacket. These are front pockets so show when the jacket is not zipped up. PLEASE match the pocket lining material to the jacket! It would make the jacket much more dressy and something we could wear for any occasion.

One of my favorite llbean products this one was a gift for my aunt who needed a sweater to wear around the house for warmth. I wear mine for that purpose, and as a layer and a light jacket. I find it perfect even in a light rain, in the summer in air-conditioning, , and basically a year-round favorite. Its just the right weight and looks nice like a cardigan sweater without pilling. Have given these as gifts to many family memberswho love them as much as I do..

I am so upset. I loved this jacket but after only a few months the sipper on the pocket broke. It was impossible to reattach. I expect such high quality from LL Bean. this is not up to standards. To make the matter worse, if I do an exchange I will be charged 6.50 to ship it back and I will lose out on the sale price to get another one. I will no longer be shopping at LL Bean. I am so disappointed with the quality.

Unfortunately, this purchase did not live up to my expectations. Bought this to wear to a trip to California to visit family and thought this would be a good travel choice. The very first day, on the long plane ride, the zipper on one of the pockets broke. The sweater did not look very good as the pocket gaped open with no zipper. I want to return this as soon as possible. I am so disappointed that this happened after buying it specifically for the trip.

I love this warm, soft fleece on a cold day. The only drawback is that on the beautiful blue fleece they used white fabric for the pockets. So when the zippers on the pockets are open, for the front zipper is open, white lining shows and it looks odd. If not for that design flaw, I'd give this 5 stars. Probably less noticeable on the light colors.
