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

I bought this jacket in XS navy for my daughter who is 5' 6" and weighs 120 lbs. It fits her beautifully and looks great with her dark blue jeans. She is 19 years old and loves it. I am disappointed because I wanted to get one for myself but I am 5' 3" and weigh 110 lbs. The XS jacket is too wide for me. In my ideal world I would also prefer it longer to cover my butt. I am sorry that LLBean doesn't cater to my size. This is the second jacket this year I loved and would have bought for myself if it was narrower and longer.

I really like my jacket, but wish I could get a vest, too. I see that's an option for men, but not women.

I bought this sweater fleece jacket in Sienna Clay and am very happy with it except for the LL Bean label sewn on the front of the jacket in a prominent place. I DO NOT WEAR CLOTHES WITH ADVERTISING. If I hadn't been able to remove the label, I'd would have returned the jacket.

I was looking for something blue, but did not find the product went with other blues, Sorry.

I ordered XL because I don't like tight clothes. The sleeves are about 1 1/2" too long for me. It's loose around the body but will allow me to wear a layer or two underneath.

The fit was good, and the jacket was quite warm. Good pockets. I wish that the collar would stay folded down, though, because it bothers me when it hits my face every time I turn my head to the side.

I love the color and the texture is nice. The jacket is warm because the fabric is dense. The pockets are large and lined. Sleeve length is good. Length down the back is good. Zipper pulls easily. The collar can lay flat comfortably. My only disappointment is the collar which, in the upright position, is stiff. It pokes me in the neck under the chin. When I sit down, I fold the front under because it is stiff and poofs out. Hopefully it'll soften as it ages.

I now love everything about the sweater fleece I finally purchased. The bright sapphire color is gorgeous! However, I had to return the fleece I ordered on line to an LLBean store, and spent 45 minutes trying on a half dozen of the same fleece in the same size to find one that fit me well. The salesperson, who was a great help, couldn't believe the variations in fit and said she would report it. I hope this was an exception!

This is my second sweater fleece from LLBean - first purchased a couple of years ago. Quality is great, washes well, warm will be good for spring walk, now I wear it under a down jacket. Four stars only because of the logo - it is quite overwhelming, the website does not show true colors especially yellow sky; my first sweater fleece had no logo. There are logos on two sweatshirt fleeces I have from LLBean, on the bottom of kangaroo pocket which is brown leather adds a nice touch. The colors on the logo of sweater fleece appear brassy - I carefully removed it. After a wash hardly detectable. Otherwise excellent purchase.

I know a lot of customers don't want the LLBean label on the front of their garments. I talked to a customer rep and was told the label could probably be removed by a seamstress. It took me 5 minutes to remove the label with a set of good eyes and a seam ripper. I then washed the top and now the label outline is gone. So, don't let the label stop you from purchasing this sweater fleece.

I love everything about this fleece sweater jacket EXCEPT for the LL BEAN label plastered to the front of it. I am traveling to Europe in the spring and I planned to wear it. So, today, when I received it, I tried to remove the label. Unfortunately, the color under the sewed on label was different than the other parts of the jacket. So, I am not able to remove label. So it will not go with me to Europe. It is well designed, beautiful color and silly label. I am disappointed.

Purchased this for my elderly Mom and the petite sizing fit her very well, which can be a challenge. It is a nice weight and warm enough for her brief outdoor excursions.

I have tried the name-brand version of this jacket twice, but in both seasons the sleeves were way too long, and I have long arms that have made getting sleeves long enough a problem in some garments. I really like the shape and length of this jacket. I sized up for when it is really really cold and I need many layers, but even so, it hangs well. I was able to buy it in Bright Sapphire, a color that gets snapped up really fast--I've missed this or something similar in past years, so I've been holding out for it and got lucky this season. As a very pale person, I want some bold color, and this provides it. I have not worn it many times, nor have I washed it, but a friend who has one from a past season warned me to wash it inside out to avoid it looking pilled and raggy--hers does. I think the name label on the front is too big and garish, but since this jacket is much cheaper than the name brand, it's a compromise I'm prepared to take. I'm not as brave as another reviewer who took the chance in removing it.

I purchased the sweater fleece in bright sapphire in October 2017. It has worn well and washed well. I like that it is a bit dressy. The only concern I have is that there is pilling along the sleeves where they rub against the side of the jacket (pilling on the side also). I would like to purchase another color, but I am turned off by the new bold LOGO. When I have received compliments on the jacket, I have informed the compliment giver that it is from LLB. I really DO NOT LIKE THE LOGO on the new sweaters. LL Bean, please remove the logo.

It's a nicely made and good looking product, but the problem is this: Since the smooth part of the fleece faces out and the soft, fuzzy part faces inwards, that makes getting the jacket on over many different other kinds of fabrics worn underneath a struggle. I often wear wool shirts in winter and sliding the jacket over them just takes more effort than some older fleeces did, with shirt sleeves riding up as I try and pull the jacket on. Consequently, I use the jacket less than I ordinarily would.

Love the sweater jacket, but not the big bright logo. We need an option to order products with out the logo.

I really enjoy this full zip fleece. My only complaint is that the sleeves are on the shorter size (at least on the one I purchased back in fall 2017). Quality is fantastic, warm, and has held up in many washes.

I love these and own several of them. I was planning to replace one that has worn out and noticed you have put your logo on the chest. I pay for these clothes. I should not have to advertise for you and be a walking billboard. My only hope is that the label is sewn on in a way that I can remove it.

I bought this as a gift for my fiance, and she loves it. She's 5'4", 114 lbs., and the Misses size small fits perfectly. She especially likes the collar design, which looks stylish folded down, or can be zipped up into a turtleneck on a brisk day.

The collar is a bit stiff. But , I feel with wash and wear it will soften up. It does what I expected it to do. I am able to wear it when snowshoeing and being active in and out of doors. I am enjoying this product.

I like it. it feels very nice and comfortable.

great color. ran small, I ordered regular size for me and it was too small. I did not like the sweater look. I prefer all fleece instead

We haven't had a real cold spell to put it to the test but it felt very cozy and warm when I tried it on. However the collar basically can only be worn fully zipped as it is too bulky and the zip too rigid to fold back when you come indoors. As cozy as it is when zipped, it is rather annoying as your chin keeps hitting the rigid area at the top (I hope you understand what I mean). I would not have purchased this sweater if I hadn't seen other reviews that said they had removed the ugly bold logo sewn onto the upper chest (so thanks to those who posted that). It took several minutes to do it very carefully with a stitch snipping tool but once removed you couldn't see where it had been stitched. It is a fairly tight fitting garment if you want to wear it over a flannel shirt and would probably be more comfortable over a smoother turtleneck or tee if you are at the upper end of sizing range.

NIce change from my usually fleece jacket. Love the way it dips down in the back to cover backside. Not bulky. I just wish it was a bit warmer. I thought since it was a sweater fleece, it would be warmer than my regular fleece jacket (not LL Bean Fleece jacket.) It is not.

I really like it. but the wind goes thou it if you have short/no sleeves
