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

Sweater is wonderful. the pockets are not lined with the same material so they stick out because they are white!

I expected a heavier jacket. This is just a lightweight fleece. Fits well and is made nicely, but just not what I was looking for.

Quality and style very nice. The garment ran small for me

Glad I ordered up a size. It is a fitted style and I needed that little bit extra waist room. I'm loving the color Blue, and hoping it doesn't pill. This one is a perfect length for me but the petite size is a bit short in the arm length. Very warm but could really use longer arms in petite medium sizing on my 132 lbs, 34D torso.

The jacket looks nice and is warm. I purchased the tall version which gave me much-appreciated and needed length in the sleeves and body. The zipper pockets are well-placed and roomy. My only reservation about this jacket is the white lining on the pockets; a darker color would look better. I would actually rate 4.5 if I could. It would be a 5 except for the pockets.

I love this sweater fleece so much, this is my second one. Its perfect for cool weather. Now I have a choice of which color I want to wear for the day.

I have 3 of these in different colors as well as several of the pullovers. Jacket runs true to size and is the perfect weight for cool weather in the spring and fall. Highly recommend!

I like everything about it except for the cut of the neckline. I usually leave my jacket a little open at the top, but this one looks skewed, lopsided when I do that, and I don't want to zip it all the way up when I'm indoors.

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

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

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.
