Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Fleece Jacket

I liked everything about the jacket, except that it's fabric fibers shed and I didn't like the LL Bean label on the left front side of chest.

I have ordered several fleece items over the years and have always been happy with my purchases. This jacket I purchased and received on 11/21/19, however, is not of the quality I was expecting from L.L.Bean. It is not a Polartec material, rather a fleece that simply does not wear well after a short time. After 2 weeks, the sleeves look pilled already as does where my arms rub against my torso as I walk. I was hoping to use this on the trail and but if I put a pack of any kind on it would just begin to look shabby based on my simply wearing it since I purchased it . I think I will be returning this and finding a good quality fleece elsewhere.

Got one for me and one for my wife. Immediately got fuzz all over my clothes and the house. I washed and dried one of them and it is really pilly now. Material lighter than expected. Not happy with the quality. Never had this problem with LL Bean before. Diasappointing.

I bought this jacket last season and the fit is great and it is warm, but I've washed it twice now to try to get it to stop pilling and shedding on my clothes with no luck at all. After the second wear, the sleeves had started getting little pills of fleece anywhere they had rubbed on the jacket, and my shirt was covered in navy fleece as well. Still can't get either of these to stop. Also, the fleece feels cheap, like a thick piece of felt rather than fleece. I am a huge LL Bean fan and have loved everything I've bought until this jacket. Unless they're making it out of something different, I would not purchase.

I was very excited to receive my jacket . Loved the color and style. However every time I wore it with light colored pants I ended up covered in blue fuzzies ! Not very attractive . Had to send it back .

I loved the classic look and recycled content of this jacket, but am disappointed in the fit and fabric. Fit is boxy, which I can appreciate through the chest and shoulders for layering, but even feels oddly large in the neck, body and waist. I dislike the weird half height of the collar, it's too short to cover the back of your neck, it goes like halfway up and is loose so invites drafts. The fabric just stinks, sheds all over everything. My car, the shirts you wear underneath, bag packs, everything. If that much material is sloughing off in the first couple wears, there're won't be much left soon. Again, for $60 expected much more.

I had to return this because the sleeves were too long, coming down well into my hand. I bought a Petite Large. I have several of the sweater fleece in this size that fit perfectly, so I was truly disappointed when this fleece did not fit.

I really wanted to love this jacket. A thick, full-zip fleece is exactly what I need for layering under a shell during the three seasons of chilly damp weather in the Pacific Northwest. however, I couldn't get past what I think is a significant design flaw on this jacket: the plastic toggles on the drawcord at the hem. There is one on each side that creates a bump where it falls over your hip - not a flattering silhouette, and I can feel it when something brushes against it, like my purse. It's unfortunate because I don't think they are necessary for an already stretchy women's jacket. If your hips are so narrow that you need to cinch down the waist to keep out the cold, you should either order a size down, or go with the men's version of this jacket. I'm sorry that I need to send this jacket back, and pay for the return shipping.

I didn't like that the color was not a dark black and that the logo was so prominent. Will stick with my five-year-old Trail Model black fleece jacket even though it has pilled.

Jacket started pilling within two weeks of wearing. Very Disappointed in quality. Had to return it.

I have bought fleece jackets from LL Bean for years. I do not like the new style. I like to wear it over a top for many occasions. This jacket is TOO sporty for that. PLEASE bring back the old style!!!!!! Thank you, I am a long time customer.

This jacket was so prominently featured in Bean's advertising that I thought it must be perfect. I was looking for Polartec and not sure what I got. I thought it was rather pricey but I needed 'warm' so I went for it. I needed something for a trip I was taking and I wanted to look nice. I also bought matching pants and accessories. For a short while I looked nice (presentable in public) BUT I am noticing pilling in areas that rub against each other!! It now looks shabby and it hasn't even been washed. What can I say? I am so disappointed in the quality of the material and am finding this to be true of other things I bought from LL recemtly.. l I know I can return this but I have so many things that I bought to go with it that that becomes a moot point. Please LL listen to what people are saying. I have been a loyal New England bred customer for MANY years. I am a walking advertisement for Your company - please don't disappoint me now.

I've worn this jacket a few months and am extremely disappointed with the amount of pilling. In fact, I've had to "shave" the jacket several times to get rid of the pilling, only to have it come back again. This is the first LLBean product that I have been disappointed with. My 8 year old Northface jacket is in better condition than this one.

When I received this jacket I was thrilled. It fit great and seemed very nice. After wearing it only a few times, the fleece is pilling and it looks like I have had this jacket for years. I have found blue fleece all over my car, my office, and my house. I am so disappointed. I don't expect this to even last until next winter at this rate. I purchased a brand new jacket and it looks slovenly and cheap.

I initially loved this jacket (in the store where purchased), but after putting it on and taking it off multiple times at home, I came to the firm conclusion that it was too snug for me to ever feel comfortable wearing it. I notice now that other reviewers who are far smaller than I am are wearing the XL -- yet according to the size chart, XL should fit me, a size 14-16 woman. In my opinion, this jacket is too short and too tight. Disappointed. Returning.

I have two ancient Polarfleece jackets from LL Bean in a similar style. They look and fit better than this jacket. The fabric feels uncomfortable. The chest is too small. The sleeves are too long. It does not even have elastic at the wrist. I will not keep the jacket. I do not like the large Bean logo.

Does everything have to be so fitted? We are not all skinny. Disappointed

Have bought this jacket before but this time when I bought it the size was way off. I bought a large and even that was too small when I usually buy a medium. Not true to sizing. Very disappointed.

I've ordered a few items (jacket, shirts, t-shirts) and all have had to be returned because there is not enough room in the upper arm of the sleeves. Women's sizes are for big women yet the sleeves are tight. The jacket just returned was my size according to your size chart yet it was snug. For the expense it wasn't worth it so it went back. Please watch this and correct the inconsistency.

What happened to the available color choices for this jacket? I love the style. Love the features. But the color(s)? Ugh.

My husband bought me two of these in January. They are both pilling. The balls of fleece get stuck to the furniture and on to the people I'm close to. They are very disappointing.

I am very disappointed in this jacket. I got the deep lake blue color, washed it before I wore it and later that day wondered where all the fuzz was coming from on my clothes. To my dismay, it was the jacket. It got fuzz all over my clothes and also my baggallini (fabric) crossbody purse. It seems to be made with inferior fleece, which is especially disappointing considering it is rather expensive.

Jacket is pilling, badly. Seatbelt and purse strap are causing pea size balls to form. I have jacket in 3 other colors from previous years with no problems. Hoping I can return.

I bought this jacket because my old gray fleece LlBean jacket from the early 1980's was wearing out. It is not a suitable replacement! It's thin and skimpy and I am using it as a light sweater. I should have returned it.

I will Never purchase Anything from LL BEAN AGAIN EVER! Ordered 3 items that were shipped and all were left at a Michael's store in a city 45 minutes away!!! What the fudge????
