Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Fleece Jacket

Love the thick fleece and the color, wear it both inside and out

This jacket fits smaller than I was hoping and the fleece is very thin. Thinking of returning it.

I have been wearing these for years, esp every day in winter months. I ordered the same size as in the past, however they are too snug. My weight and measurements remain the same. This, along with the different fleece feel will cause me to return them.

Medium was too tight around the middle but fit well in sleeve length and shoulders, so I knew a large would be too big. I am 80, and have put on some weight around the middle. How about a more relaxed fit for us older women?

I just bought this jacket and I love the color, fit, and how soft it is. But the first time I wore it little balls of fuzz appeared all over the outside. When I brushed the fabric little micro fibers blew off it. It makes me sad to return it as I really do like it. But I am afraid of ingesting or breathing in the fibers.

This is a little small, too fitted, not lined, and about 5" too short - NOT the beloved comfy and warm. longish, loose jacket I live in and thought I was getting again.

The zipper pull is sewn on the left (male) side even though jacket is stamped "Women's". Confusing. Wouldn't be able to get used to that after a lifetime of zipper pulls on the right. The sleeves are about 1-2" too long for me (and I have long arms). Also, not "slightly fitted" on me -- too wide/large. Returned.

It did not fit like the old fleece jackets so I sent it back and canceled my order for the second fleece. My old ones still fit well. This one was too tight in the midriff. If I went up a size the other parts would not have fit. It was a real disappointment.

This is definitely not the same as Polartec of yester year. Anything I have worn underneath this jacket is covered with thin, short fibers from the jacket. I have the unisex sized anorak which is the same recycled fleece and it sheds the same. My suede mittens are covered with fibers.

No more online buying for me. Bad quality. Big disappointment

This item sheds. It left fibers on any clothing it touched. The fit was great. It was the right weight but when I would look down and see fibers on my black pants I had to return it.

I liked the material and the shape of it, but I don't like the fact that the sleeves don't have proper cuffs to keep the cold out.

This has the expected good ll bean quality. I have purchased many ll bean sweater fleece tops these past years that I still love. But this one was too snug around the hips. No, my tummy is not any bigger. I actually tried on my older ones and they still fit me nicely.

Not impressed with the more fitted design of this, nor the idea that a medium layer underneath is best. I had bought this in order to wear a thick layer underneath for warmth. Even if I had ordered a larger size, I don't think it would have worked. Sometimes you just want a roomy fleece jacket that you can layer underneath. I returned it.

I thought this would have more of a shapely fit, but it's saggy and way too wide, even in the small size (I'm typically a size 4). When zipped all the way up, the collar is really wide as well. Not flattering.

I needed a warm fleece but even in a petite size, this jacket falls far past "hip" level advertised. A size down would be tight so I am holding in to this one for home use where no one sees me since the length overwhelms my frame.

I so MUCH want to order one of these, but c'mon LLBean, the self-promo logo patch is so in your face. I don't want to be a billboard. I'll sadly have to buy my fleece jackets elsewhere until the patch isn't so blatant.

There are no inside pockets like previous jacket. Picture seems to show pockets still there,

I was a bit disappointed in the texture and the thinness of the jacket.compared to other fleece jackets I own. I am hoping it is good in the cold.

Returned this jacket. The material was stiff, and the fit was poor. Sorry, I typically like LL Bean products, but this was disappointing.

I did not like the feel of the material. It was not as soft as I expected. Also, while I purchased the right size, it just did not have a good fit for me. I sent it back for a refund.

Great fit and lines, but on my first outing this jacket shed little pills of fleece all over my clothes, especially from under arms where fabric touched against itself. Never had that in an LL Bean fleece before. I do not know if washing will improve it.

I was disappointed with the material this was made with as it has a feel more like heavy felt than the soft fleece I have found in other fleece jackets. The cuffs also seemed like they would not withstand wear very well. I ordered black, but under certain light this seemed more like dark charcoal or even navy in parts. The only good thing I can say is that the fit was very good. But the material and color are important to me, so I will be returning this, sadly.

I bought one recently to replace an old one that reached it's end. My new one I've had roughly a year. I am disappointed with it. Will not buy another one. It runs on the large size and sheds like crazy. I've washed it a few times to try and remove the shedding but it failed. The shedding has gotten so bad I refuse to wear it now. It took multiple vacuums to remove it from my car fabric and I have decided to toss it out instead of donating it. Not recommended. L.L. Bean use to be good quality but it has changed.

As in the past few years with many Bean articles , the quality is lower and the prices have risen. This Fleece Jacket is made with lighter than previously, materials and not as warm as those that I had purchased a few years ago. The sizing is also off. I used to order M for shoulder room, but now need a Small. I haven't changed in weight I'm still 104 lbs. But, in order to accomadate the people with more weight, they have added to many items XXS to XXL, and we are now obliged to "guess" what size we are, and return if need be. That is not convenient at all. On another note: I could do without the "Bean Logo" sewed on the chest! I don't care to be a "walking advertisement".
