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

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.

This is the first purchase I made with L.L. Bean and because of the looks, quality and the positive comments I got from complete strangers, I had to purchase more. It's warm, comfy and quite nice looking for casual wear.

I love the blue color of this jacket. I felt the sleeves were a little on the short side. I am 5' 8" and wear a small.

A bit heavier fabric than I would have liked, but decided to keep it anyway to wear on colder days.

I ordered the size tall, which is great for the longer sleeve length (I am 5'10"), but the white lined pockets make it look like I have kleenex in my pockets. I am returning this, hopefully will find a size tall elsewhere.

This is a wonderful sweater. I have purchased 7 of these. My only complaint is the zipper pull breaks off after about a year or so. This has happened to 3 of my jackets so I dont think it is random. Otherwise I LOVE the product!

Devilishly difficult to take off even with wearing the lightest sweater. Sleeves are too narrow. Love the color, but may return it.

Bought for my mother-in-law for her 91st birthday who is always cold. She is hard to buy for but she likes it and wears it all the time! Thank you LL Bean.

Love this jacket. Its the perfect weight for a cool day or in the car.

I love it. Its warm and very comfortable. I wish I could have bought it another color.

I bought an earlier version of this jacket a year or so ago in 3 colors, and it is literally part of my daily "uniform" throughout three Vermont seasons. I wanted to replace one of them, but was disappointed to see that they have eliminated the hood, which I found so helpful when just running outside on a cold or rainy day. I would have given it 5 stars with the hood. However, this is the best jacket ever--well-made, well-fitting, flattering, and extremely practical with the zippered outside pockets. It's nicer than a sweatshirt, but as comfortable and useful. I wear it everywhere and constantly.

Very nicely made and well fitted jacket. Unfortunately its appearance is adversely affected by the Bean logo sewed to the front of it. Bean's increasing use of its logo in this manner on so many different clothes amounts to free advertisement at the expense of their customer. In no case does it enhance the appearance of the garment. I carefully removed the logo and made my wife's jacket look like the quality item that it is.

We ordered these with our company logo. They were a HUGE hit. They look great on everyone and lots of comments on how they are the perfect fall weight. The logo looks great! (We ordered both men and womens. Mens also a huge hit.)

The sweater is warm but not very cozy. The neck zipper is very stiff making it uncomfortable to have the jacket zipped part way up. The fit is a little off. Not enough ease in the chest. I would return it but LLBean will just send me a credit instead of a refund.

Perfect fit. True to size. Nice style and color.

Love the style, the fit, the color, and its cozy warm.

I love it. I originally ordered a size small as recommended by true fit but it was too big. Reordered an extra small and it fits perfect. Soft and cozy

I like the color and lighter edge binding. But it seems smaller, less substantial and a less flattering style fit than another Bean sweater fleece I ordered. I wish the dropped back edge wasnt so long.

I was so excited to get this jacket. I was going to get a similar jacket from another company but I prefer supporting LL BEAN so I bought this one instead. My first impression was that it was flimsy and not the quality of any of my other LL Bean fleeces and jackets. The pockets are exposed on the inside and look cheap. In addition the sleeves were very long for a petite jacket. The neck was awkward and the sleeves ran tight. Real women have real arms! Plus I move in my fleece which is hard to do 8n this one. I think I will return it and stick with the mountain fleece style. That one is comfortable and warm.

Large was tight xl was too big and flared out but very comfortable and warm.

Im very happy with this fleece jacket! I ordered the PMedium and it fits perfectly. I decided to buy it from LLBean instead of another pricier company because they offered Petite Sizing. Im able to layer under it and still zip it up without feeling squished on the bottom. I have a more rectangular build so it fits better than other brands that are tighter on the bottom. I love the color-salmon specked color with light salmon trim. Its very warm and I love wearing it. It has replaced a lot of other sweaters/jackets because I it checks all the boxes for me: looks put together and fits, super comfy, has pockets!, and keeps me warm(Im usually cold).
