Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Fleece Jacket

Very weird texture, sort of poofy but sticky feeling? Not true black, the trim was darker than the main fabric making it look dark gray. And it smelled horrible! Suck a strong chemical smell. Honestly just awful. Not sure what's happening, used to love LLBean quality

Horrible cut.. not sure what's up w/the box frump cut trending so heavily but I'd love to see classic fit not too long, not too short, or wide, fitted come back (yes! I'm a gen-x!) I was also hopeful of a more substantial weight fleece and please lose the blatant chest logo and the weird zip pulls.

The jacket is fine EXCEPT it is a woman's jacket with a zipper for a man's jacket! I would have returned it if we had not been enduring the pandemic. I would suggest you telephone before ordering to determine if the jacket will have a zipper for a woman's jacket. I have purchased other zipper jackets from L.L. Bean and they always had the correct zipper. Very disappointed!

Can the LL BEAN PATCH BE REMOVED? It spoils the jacket design. Or can it be embroidered very very small?

This style of fleece purchased from L.L.Bean is a total disappointment. I purchased in navy, green and gray. They all pill like crazy. I regret I didn't return.

This style of fleece purchased from L.L.Bean is a total disappointment. I purchased in navy, green and gray. They all pill like crazy. In the photo, I had already picked the pills off the sleeve, but there are still some on the cuff. I am ashamed to wear outside of my home. I regret I didn't return.

This is a spring or fall fest. The vest is really thin and I miss having the inside pockets as well as the breast pocket. I thought I was getting the vest from a few years ago and this is, quite frankly, unsatisfactory. I am 5 foot three and weigh 118 pounds and I ordered the extra large to cover my bum. It does that but it is not a warm vest like the previous ones. I will not buy it again and I will look for another place to buy best.

Threw it away today. Quality is not what I expected from LL Bean. The cuffs on both sleeves came apart.

Loved it, but after two wearings it was beginning to pill. Had to return it

Waited 2 months to get it because it was backordered . Zip got stuck the first time I tried it on. Had to return it.

Have bought LL Bean fleece for years but I am done unless the current poor quality is improved. This jacket pilled and shed on my seatbelt during a 30 minute ride. My less expensive new fitness fleece did also.

I returned it. I have an older fleece LL Bean jacket that I live in. I needed a new one and was directed by LLBean to this one. The original had a sweater like finish on a polar tec like fabric. It was warm and good looking. This one just has a cheap puffy texture. The LL Bean logo was added on the chest and, against black, was all you could see. It was unacceptable on every level.

I purchased this fleece as a Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law. Less than a month later the stitching is coming undone on the cuffs and collar. I would not recommend this product.

It is not roomy. Had to return. Have other jackets in same size but this one was too snug. Very disappointed

Great jacket, not really black. I took it back, as I wanted actual black.

This jacket is just too short and too tight -- why does LL Bean not offer Talls for women?? In addition, the fleece is a poor quality replacement for the soft and cozy Polartec fleece used years ago. For those who dislike the logo on the chest, you can remove it easily. Same with the bungee cord around the hips -- just snip it and the large plastic adjusters off.

This jacket is very disappointing. The "fleece" is more of a flannel-like material, and it pills terribly. The pilling began under the arms almost immediately and can now be seen all over. After one month, I only wear this jacket for yard work since it looks so awful.

Bean is making me "resubmit" this review even tho my original review met ALL the guidelines. Do they force all negative reviewers to repeat themselves in the hope that they will not bother? I tried this jacket on. I have had a sturdy Bean fleece jacket for years that I love and, for the price, I expected a jacket of similiar quality. I was completely disappointed. This jacket is not worth the price -not even close. The material is thin and flimsy. The stiff material used on the edge of the collar (the part that brushes your face) is uncomfortable. They didn't even use enough of the fleece to create a hem on the collar, opting for this cheap trim instead. I have a much better fleece jacket from a competitor (apparently I can't name them) for a fraction of the cost of this jacket. Pass on this jacket, you can get one just as good at your local big box discount store instead.

Only the zippers seemed of quality. The jacket, sewing pattern and fleece was of poor quality. This was a gift, this was my third choice because llbean's inventory on several items was depleted. There was plenty of time before Christmas. I have been a loyal customer for over 45 years. What has happened to the llbean that I knew? I will think twice before I buy again.

I love the color and fit, but the fabric sheds all over my clothing. And after 5 washes it is still a problem.

I have at least 6 of the old Trail Model fleece jackets and love them dearly but after so many complaints about the fit, and quality of this "modified classic", I won't buy this new style. Pilling of the fabric after just a few washings and cuffs unraveling are not something I want to deal with. Also not a fan of the full color logo emblazoned on the chest; it makes it look cheap to me. Bring back the old style fleece. I am still a fan.

Jacket was purchased in November and started pilling right away. Trim on the cuffs was coming undone and seams opening. Not the quality I expected from LL Bean, especially for the price. Would not purchase again.

I liked the look of the jacket. However, the fleece rubbed off on my clothing, my furniture and all over my car seat (leather) especially the seat belt. Not happy with having to clean up fuzz on everything the jacket touched. Ordered an XL. It was a little big. It was returned for another item.

After wearing the jacket 1 time material started shedding. Sections of the material were thin and ready to come apart. Very disappointed with the quality of the material. Sent product back for a refund.
