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

Sizing for this jacket is all goofed up. We have always ordered Wormens Regualr in Medium for my wife. This Jacket arrived and we found it to be very tight fit. Had to be returned. Wife liked the jacket but they don't have them in her size. And they charged us over $6 to return it. We will be very less likely to order from LL Bean in the future.

Love these jackets. This is the sixth one I own of different brands including LLBEAN. I can not believe that your company would put white pockets in the beautiful arctic blue..The white color stands out and really cheapens the look. Every other one I own has pockets to match the jacket color. I have not decided if I am going to return it yet. Please rethink your design or I will not be reordering any more of these in the future.

I LOVE A LOT OF THE CLOTHING I BUY FROM YOU, LL, BUT I DETEST HAVING YOUR LOGO DISPLAYED FRONT AND CENTER. EVEN IF YOU PAID ME TO ADVERTISE YOU ON MY CLOTHING, I WOULDN'T LIKE IT. I'D PREFER NOTHING - BUT A SMALL LOGO SAY AT THE HEM ON THE SIDE - WOULD BE LESS OBJECTIONABLE. OR THE LINE OF LLBEAN "TAPE" RUNNING DOWN FROM THE NECT ON THE BACK OF A NEW SHIRT I PURCHASED. BUT WHAT IS THAT SHINY DOT ON ONE SIDE? LESS VISIBLE, WHICH I APPRECIATE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A CHEAP TAG LEFT ON BY MISTAKE. PEOPLE MIGHT PURCHASE FROM YOU BASED ON MY ADVICE, BUT NOT ON MY LOGO. PLEASE GET RID OF THEM IN THE CURRENT FORM. IF YOU DO IT FOR TEENS, WELL, HAVE A DIFFERENT LINE FOR THEM. I did not purchase this jacket (but still had to rate it to send my commentss.) It's a lot of money to pay to sport your logo, specially when it is unwanted. Thank you, ,and sent with the hope you will reconsider logos.

After reading several reviews, I decided the consensus was the jacket ran a bit small. So, I ordered a large (I wear a medium in almost everything, but I order some jackets in large to be able to fit over layers) and it was so big it felt sloppy on me with a long-sleeved shirt under. When I sat down with it zipped, there was so much extra fabric popping forward. Back to read more reviews and I discovered that some people felt the sizing was inconsistent based on color, so maybe the medium would end up fitting. Sadly, nope. It fit much better throughout the torso, but it was way too tight through the arms and armpits. I thought the jacket was very soft and warm, and I really like the style and color (hence 3 stars), but couldn't get a good-fitting one.

So warm! Not bulky at all! Perfect for freezing hospitals!

This is a beautiful jacket, well made with lots of pockets with zippers. The down side is that it's very bulky. My other complaint is that it only has the zipper at the top, but none to release the bottom when I sit.

This sweater is not the same quality as in the past. It is now much more expensive and a quality that you could purchase at a discount store. Also, my other sweaters don't have the llbean label. Really, do you have to put a label on it? Mark down the price if you are using me to advertise the product.

My company does not allow employees to wear clothing with words on them. I purchased this jacket based on other reviewers stating they removed the LL Bean tag in the chest area. I thought perfect now I can wear to work in my rather cold office. AS I started to remove the Bean tag I noticed the discoloration underneath the tag. I stopped because it is so obvious and would look bad regardless where I wore the jacket. I contacted customer service and they said because I removed the tag, the jacket could not be returned. How would I know it was discolored unless I removed the tag. Very disappointed that I cannot wear to work but the arctic blue is a beautiful color, the jacket is warm and the fit is flattering.

I bought this jacket a month ago. I love it. The materials and fit are great! My complaint is that after 2 weeks, the zippers on the pockets became unattached on one side. I read reviews and this seems to be a consistent issue. I like the jacket so much, I managed to reconnect the zippers and then sewed the bottom of the zipper together so it doesn't happen again. This is a design defect that LL Bean needs to correct.

Sizing was accurate.but the sleeves were a smidgeon too tight for my problem arms. I washed and dried and it shrunk. Too bad. I'll try to resize by stretching wet and flat air drying. Wish me luck.

This sweater fleece ran VERY small. I was very disappointed and returned it. Normally 3X in Womens are very loose.

Doesn't LLB care what customers want? I hate the logo and never buy something with it prominantly displayed. There are ways you put your name on that are less off-putting, e.g., at bottom of placket. Why not respond to customers' desires?

I was very disappointed that the sweater was not well inspected before shipping. A pocket zipper pull was not attached and I found it in the pocket! A very superficial inspection would have shown it was missing since it was dark colored and the other pocket zipper pull was obvious. I did not appreciate the inconvenience of having to exchange it.

This jacket is great BUT the both zippered pockets have failed. L.L. Bean was great and immediately sent me another jacket once I reported the problem but the second jacket has the same problem. The tiny piece of fabric that prevents the zipper from reaching the end doesn't prevent it doing so which lets the two sides unmatch. This leaves the zipper mechanism on one side of the pocket, So you can't close the pocket anymore. Maybe not a big deal for some but I use it for work. I need the packets to close.

This is the third sweater fleece that I have purchased over the years. I have loved the two previous jackets but this one is a disappointment. The fit is not the same as in the past with very tight arms making it difficult to get the jacket on and off. I purchased the same size as my previous jacket (M).

Great jacket but the white pocket linings were just so cheap and distracting.

I received this jacket last week and wore it recently while going for a walk. The day was mild but breezy. I was wearing a short sleeve shirt under the jacket and sadly I could feel the wind through the sleeves of the jacket. This was unexpected, as even my fleece quarter zip shirts offer more protection than this. Fortunately, I ordered a size up so that I could layer on more frigid days, but was hoping to use it as a stand alone on chilly days. Would not buy again as I was expecting more warmth for the price.

I usually take a Small in L.L. Bean tops, but I ordered this jacket in Medium so I could wear it over a sweater. I was very disappointed to discover that it's so snug in the body it won't fit over even the most lightweight sweater. I can't size up to a Large because the sleeves in the Medium are already a little too long (they come down to my knuckles), and I'm afraid the sleeves in a Large would hang down past my fingertips. I'm going to keep it because the color (field rose) is lovely I have already gotten compliments on it and it's an OK jacket for days when it isn't cold enough to wear a sweater under it, but I would be much happier with it if it were a little less fitted in the body.

After reading the reviews I ordered a size up. Still to small and jacket was not very attractive.

I really wanted to love this sweater. Yet, there's a major oversight on the part of the design team. The pocket fabric on the interior is the color of my grandmother's underwear. So, you have this really pretty blue sweater, but if the zipper pockets are open there's a hint of yellowy off-white color peaking through. If you wear the sweater unzipped you can see the inside bearing the same ugly pocket color. Unfortunate.It could have been so pretty.

This jacket is great but the interior pocket material is a deal breaker. The light color of the pocket makes it impossible to wear the jacket unzipped.

I love this jacket. It's my second one! However, the pocket design must have changed since both of the zippers separated in the first few days of use. Annoying. My older one never did. What changed?!

I bought this about 3 months ago and found the waist to be flaired and top of jacket fits fine. This is characteristic of the LLBean fit for me. I liked the color and warmth, but recently found the fabric to be pilling around the pockets and bottom of the front of jacket. I have had other name brand jackets in the same fabric that are bomber and do not show signs of wear. I probably won't venture into the LLBean catalog again as they are losing their quality.

The petite small was way too large I am 5'2" at 130lbs

I purchased this jacket for a trip to Bozeman. I wore the jacket once and noticed one of zippers on a pocket is broken. I live in Maine and will be exchanging the jacket. I do like it but was disappointed.
