Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Fleece Jacket

I should have noticed the size of the label on the front in the pictures, but didn't. Looks huge and tacky. Not for me.

Material is very light and fit was tight. This was more like a sweatshirt then a jacket

The fit is good but it sheds like crazy. Any suggestions?

The pile on the fleece is poor. The item is uncomfortable. It has band of stitching above the pockets and across the back that pulls across the chest and back that gives the item a fitted look and feel. I bought a XXL which is the size of all my many other L.L. Bean jackets and tops.

Very poor quality on the fleece jacket, not the same LL Bean quality it used to be. Not even close to the size I ordered, way to small. Guess thats what you get when young children and people who cant measure make your clothes.

I wish I had a photo of the strainer in the sink where my washing machine drains--it was full with fibers. My next load of clothes--which didn't include the fleece--also discharged a lot of fibers. The photo here is from a 2nd washing of the fleece. Before you buy this fleece, imagine these fibers all over all of your clothes. (Yes, my fleece was rust orange). I don't recall this happening with other brands of fleece, but I'd love to be wrong because I associate Bean with quality. At this time there are 35 other reviews that note shedding. It would be nice to see Bean reply with an explanation--e.g., we washed ours and a competitor's and the discharge was the same--rather than just thanks and how to return it.

I bought two jackets in rust orange. After having been washed twice, they continue to shed orange fibers everywhere they go. While I have returned them, the bright orange fibers spread throughout my house will remind me of our time together.

Wore it once and it's shedding absolutely everywhere. I'm going to have to vacuum out my car because of how much orange fuzz there is all over my seat and seatbelt. Afraid to wash it because it would probably fall apart! Absolutely DO NOT buy this item.

The recycled polyester liner stuck to the underlying garments, making removal difficult.

I have 2 of these jackets I bought a few years ago. Great jackets. I recently bought 2 more. I sent them back. Material and fit have changed. Not improved.

Well made, sizing is way off and runs very small so order at least one size up

Sheds like crazy. Left fuzz all over my other clothes. Come on LL Bean you need to correct this or discontinue this product. Not cool

The fleece is flaking off now. I have little blue threads all over the place

I love the look but it's a little short on me. 3XL

This jacket is not long enough to be labeled "long". Very disappointed with the description of the sizing.

Not proportioned to be a true tall size. Not longer than not tall size

This thing is awful. I have orange fuzz and piling on my shirts, pants, car seat, and any other garment it touches! I washed it once to help but it helped not at all.

I bought the light blue jacket and it is shedding so bad I don't think there will be anything left by next year. I feel like I brought an invasive species into my home.

Wore this one time. Sheds microfiber on everything. Two weeks after wearing still finding microfibers on dashboard and crevices if my car. Afraid to wash it so much material is coming off. Material is soft. Fits well. Disappointed with LL Bean quality and testing department on this choice of fabric.

Fleece is not the same L.L. Bean quality. Style is exactly what I wanted, but it doesn't hold up. Customer service is always AWESOME and Bean stands behind their product. Easy returns. I continue to enjoy much of their gear. This just happened to be a quality issue I'm sure they will have corrected in no time!

This jacket to pills after initial wash. The zipper sticks becuase of design with respect to material.

Jacket came apart in the washer. Don't buy if you want quality.

The first time i wore this blue fleece jacket my shirt and car seat were covered in blue lint. I called Bean about this and was told to wash it. Since I have washed it, I have yet to wear it. (too cold outside) I will post an update after wearing it. I noticed there were other reviews mentioning the same thing.

same as my previous order for a color of a different jacket that was described as tan but arrived as green and this jacket that was ordered as black and showed up as green. I am embarrassed to continue to be a customer and will shortly discontinue ordering

The cuff stitching unravels and does not hold the trim to the bottom of the sleeves. Sections of the sleeve material have inadequate overlap to hold the stitching in place.
