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

This jacket is generously sized in the body, but the sleeves and hem are rather short. Unfortunately, washing it only exacerbated this issue and caused significant pilling.

Was so excited to get this jacket for Christmas from husband. It is soft, warm and looks great on. Wore jacket 3 times and zipper broke on pocket ... very frustrating considering price... thus the lower rating.

Love the color and style. Didn't have a choice in size. Had to get a large. Too big/long and can't adjust the sleeve length.

I would've given a five, but the color of the material for the pockets is white, so that if you unzip the pockets that white is prominently visible and does not look good against the beautiful blue color of the sweater.

Ordered for my wife for a birthday present. Sizing was a 3X Plus. They sizing was way off. It was too small. It was no where near a 3X Plus.

I love this jacket - color & fabric. I returned it because the pocket lining was white & did not look good.

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 don't think it is random. Otherwise I LOVE the product!

Really nice jacket however the collar won't lay flat - it keeps flipping in your face

Very comfortable jacket and super cute, however I'm on my second jacket within 3 months. The sewing around the cuff seems to unravel and the fabric on the end will fall off. My current jacket I've had for about a month and the same thing is happening. Love this jacket, just wish it held up better

Great full zip fleece sweater. Sleeves run too long and tight. Not good for anything bulky, like a sweatshirt, beneath it. Also, pocket interior color should match the sweater color. White lining material is too noticeable.

I AM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ONE JACKET. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHTED IT IN A LARGE . WHEN YOU PUT IT ON IT STICKES TO THE SLEEVE OF THE TOP THAT YOU HAVE ON UNDERNEATH. I BOUGHT IT AS A GIFT. I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HER A CERTIFICATE

I like this jacket and wore it daily until one of the zippers broke. Waiting for an exchange

I am 5'6 and approximately 140lbs. Based on other things I have purchased from LL Bean I ordered a small, but for some reason this jacket is extremely snug. I would suggest sizing up, as it is very uncomfortable to wear a jacket that is too small.

I have 2 other Bean's Sweater Fleece jackets, and they are part of my "winter uniform.". I love them and wear them constantly. I wanted another color, so I ordered this one. After receiving it though, I realized that I really, really dislike the contrasting trim. I returned this and ended up purchasing the men's version that I saw in the store.

Sweater is very nice however both pocket zippers broke the first time I wore it. Returned it and ordered another. I hope the second one holds up.

I really love the fit and color of this fleece and was about to purchase another one, when one of the zippers on the pockets detached after 1 year of wear. LL bean customer service said they typically aren't able to repair zippers on fleeces. Would rather have bought a fleece from a competitor brand with better durability.

Love the heft of the material, love the color. But the chest is too tight once you go beyond a t-shirt and the bottom half/belly area (between the pockets) poofs oddly away from the body for a very unattractive silhouette. Also, this is the first time I've found the sleeves too long on a petite item from LLBean. I could have tolerated the rest, really, but the sleeves combined with that LOUD LOGO was enough for me to put it back in the bag. The subtle embroidered logos are fine; the single-color and leather patch logos are fine. But the multi-colored patch logos just feel like I'm wearing a billboard. I hate that. And on a light color, it's just that much more obnoxious.

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.

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.

The jacket is wonderful in color and fit. I chose the beautiful blue. But there is a huge negative which really lessens it's value. The company did not spend the extra care and minimum cost in making pockets that matched or at least blended with the stunning color of the jacket. Instead they are white. With the zipper down and the jacket open, the pockets stand out like beacons flashing "CHEAP'. I will replace them myself because I like the jacket and I am able to sew. But it is below the standard of workmanship that I have come to expect from LLBean

Cute design with tight arms; another nicely cut style with arms and armholes that felt too tight to fit over autumn and winter layers. The next size up would be too large around the ribs... so I returned it.

I love this jacket and have purchased two in the past but... after laundering.. eventually, the entire jacket has piling all over it and is impossible to remove (tiny balls)... just a shame as it fits well and is warm. Im a petite and it fits perfectly.

I love the fit and feel of this sweater fleece. However the overall pilling on the jacket and especially on the smooth material on sleeve /jacket edges which also look worn out in addition to the pilling. I followed the washing and drying instructions. Thought about ordering a new one, but at $99, seems too expensive for something which still pills based on current reviews. The 3 stars are because of the expense vs the quality. Is it possible to exchange?

I love this jacket, and I always get compliments when wearing it. However, after several washings and many wears, the material has completely pilled. Sadly, I missed the return period by under two weeks. Hopefully, LL Bean has addressed this flaw because the jacket is warm, comfortable and very nice looking. I just expect better quality from LL Bean and wish I could have exchanged it.
