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

This fleece was just what I was looking for! Nice weight without being bulky, well made, and perfect fit for me.

Per LLBean, excellent construction, wonderfully warm, but the sleeves are a little narrow. Older ladies might find it snug.

Great price for a product compared to similar brands. It has 2 inside pockets as well which is convenient. I bought petite size but it still felt a bit long. It did shrink a little after washing (even though I air dried it). It keeps me warm.

Purchased the fleece zip-jacket in the Mallard Blue, in a medium and a large to compare fit. Loved the color. I am 5' 6", 128 lbs. The large fits slightly better across the chest, which allows room for a sweatshirt or sweater. Overall, the jacket is quite nice and a nice weight for Florida winters. I gave a 4-star rating due to the poor placement of the LL Bean logo at the chest. Takes away from the look of the jacket.

I'm very happy with this jacket. Love the fabric (it's not a hair magnet) and look. I only wish it had a double zipper.

Doesn't seem as warm as another LL. Bean fleece jacket that I bought several years ago, but it fits well and is attractive and a bit dressier. I also like the contrasting trim.

Love the color and warmth of this jacket! Fit is good, a little short on the arms maybe, but I needed a petite size for body length, and went up a size from normal based on reviews that it was fitted closely in the waist, as I wanted to layer it. Only 2 problems really, the white pockets are so bright compared to the blue of the jacket that you need to keep them zipped up, and also zip the jacket at least partway so they don't show. Bad design, like they ran out of the right color fabric. Navy, or even black would have been better choices than bright white. Second I feel like the jacket is itchy like wool even though it's 100% poly, and I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt under it. Inside the fabric is very pilly with little balls everywhere, not smooth and soft. I will take good care to wash this on gentle and air dry so it doesn't pill on the front as well. On the plus side this is a very warm jacket that looks great with blue jeans or more technical clothing.

This is a quality fleece jacket in a great color. My 4 star rating is due to the small being a little too big and x small being a bit tight. I went for the smaller, slim look vs the almost baggy one. Not sure yet on my choice.

It is very nice and warm. A little tight if you wear something more than a long sleeve tee shirt underneath. Nice alternative to a sweatshirt. I don't however like that the logo is so boldly prominent on the front. I do like my color choice.

Beautiful sweater! Sizes run big, so don't be hesitant to get a smaller size.

Love the fit and it is wonderfully comfortable. I would give it 5 stars butthe pocket zipper broke.

This jacket is warm and comfortable, but not as nice as the sweater fleece hoodies I used to be able to buy from L.L. Bean. The zip pocket on the sleeve bunches up oddly and I'm not a big fan of stand-up collars, though the latter is obviously just personal preference. I removed the logo label like I usually do, but I regret it in this case - the patch of fabric underneath is a noticeably lighter color than the rest of the jacket. The color (Mallard Blue) is otherwise very pretty, though.

Beautiful jacket, excellent fit, but I had to return it. I found the zipper hard to start and just didn't want to struggle with it for the next ten years!

August at 93 degrees is not a good time to review this jacket. Hopefully when cold weather comes..and it willthis will be perfect. Love the color, nice tapered (not boxy) fit, and the knowledge that this will be toasty warm when I need it..

This is a very comfortable, warm and attractive color with a vibrant color that is a beautiful shade of blue. The only reason I'm not giving it a five is because the lining for the pockets is cream rather than black or blue and so distracts from the overall appearance. I considered not buying the jacket, but the color won me over.

I purchased this jacket and is really nice but I really loved the version of the jacket that had the hood instead of the standup collar. Please bring back the hooded version.

I chose to get a large tall but it is way too big. Also, the material is too scratchy for my taste. I really wanted to love it!

This fleece is super soft and cozy! My only wish is that the collar could flatten down more easily rather than standing straight up all the time. Otherwise, wonderful fleece! I got mine in the spruce green and love the color.

I love this jacket but can't give it 5 stars because of the pockets. The pockets are white fabric so if the jacket is unzipped or if the pockets are unzipped all you see is the contrast of the nice color of the jacket and the bright white fabric of the pockets. It has bothered me since the first time I wore it.

Nice fit and long enough for taller person. Was a gift and changed Large Long for Large. Large a much better fit.

This jackets fits great. I purchased a small. I am 5.5 and 128 lbs. Its a warm soft fleece sweater, the length of the sleeves are good and it hits slightly below the hip. And I love the blue color. My only question is why the inside lining of the pockets is WHITE. There is a large white swatch of cloth on the inside of this jacket. So if the pockets are unzipped or you wear it open, you see a bright white square of fabric from the inside. I have this jacket in grey and that is not the case. That lining blends with the jacket. So weird, why not make it blue to blend with the jacket?? Its just distracting from the jacket

Fits great. It's a comfortable jacket that's light weight yet warm.

Love the jacket: color, fit, style. I just wish the sleeves weren't fleece: difficult to get into when wearing a sweater

I love the fleece zip up and I own more than one. I am disappointed that the lining of pockets of this fleece are white. So when the pocket is unzipped it is hard to miss and stands out. All my other fleece jackets have a dark lining in the pocket and is much more appealing to the eye. I feel like I have to zip up the pockets all the time. :(

Style is great, not very warm - I wore 3/4 zip fleece underneath while at the beach in March
