Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Pile Fleece Coat

This is not a pliable,soft fleece jacket.It must be the interior lining that makes it stiff and oddly narrow in the waist area.I ordered a size large and I am not large in the middle or top,just wanted room for layers,yet it didn't hang comfortably ,it had a stiff shape to it and was not comfortable.Returned,also way overpriced.

I purchased this Mountain Pile Fleece thinking it would be fleece lined. Unfortunately, was very disappointed as the linking is more like canvas or some type of fabric that is used to make fire fighter gear. So hard and uncomfortable. Wish LL Bean would make the clothes that are the classics that people love and come back for.

Sleeves were miles too long and not easy to roll up. Fabric inside was stiff and rough.

Every time I put on this coat I feel uncomfortable. I've wanted to like it but the outside "fleece" is rough and not soft at all. The inside is a very restrictive fabric. I barely wore it all winter. Not what I expected at all. Something made me look up the reviews today after wearing it to work and found many reviews that said similar things. I usually love all things LLBean but this coat was a real disappointment. Far from cozy and just uncomfortable.

Returned the coat sadly as the interior layer is too stiff and uncomfortable

It was so ugly. I returned it. The lining was a terrible material. Felt like a rubber wet suit inside. The stitching on the chest was unflattering.

I should have listened to the other reviewer's about the inside liner of this jacket being awful. I returned it immediately as it felt so slippery and cheap. Why would the designers choose this particular material for the inside? Quality control needs to do better

I bought this coat because I thought it was cute. I have bought coats from bean in the past size Large which fits fine. But when I rec'd this one, I opened the zipper and put it on arms & shoulders felt tight then tried to wrap around me..no way! 4-6" gap in front. Could not even begin to close zipper! May be a defect or mislabeled but not doing this again. A very nice rep said she could send another one the same size to see if that is a defect but I declined. It is back in the box and ready for UPS!

A very unattractive fitting coat. It did not look good on at all. The darts in the chest are unflattering.

Seeking a white coat to make me visible on dark winter evenings, I tried 2 LLB fleece coats. IMO they failed my needs: 1)too few pockets for winter accessories, 2) sleeves too long for a short woman, without inside cuffs for warmth/length adjustment, 3) an oversized hood w/o visor, 4)about as dumpy and unflattering as anything I've ever tried on. TL;DR not chic or comfy. Back to LLB they both went.

Not soft inside and NO SHERPA OR SOFT FLEECE? Very hard inside so back you go!

Totally mis-sized. Thick, bulky, and unflattering. What happened to fleece hoodies with a waist? Returned. Totally disappointed in LL Bean. Shopping elsewhere.

Soft, well-proportioned coat for warmth and comfort. Perfect with a long sleeve tee underneath. I would recommend it to a friend. I am 5'3" and weigh 125 lb. The Petite Medium fit perfectly in length of sleeves and coat.

The most uncomfortable lining....feels like the bottom of a rug, stiff and scratchy. Just awful.

Other reviewers are right. Bad zipper. Got stuck when trying on for the first time. Back it goes. Fleece was pretty and soft. Poor workmanship on functionality

I am so bummed I've been waiting for this coat for almost a month and the green isn't the color green on the website but that's not a big deal but the inside of it is lined with I don't know some stiff material that is And the fleece is really stiff too. It runs a little small. I bought a large, which usually is fine, but with the stiffness and everything I I can't wear this and am returning it.

I can't remember how long ago I bought this and returned it. It is SO UGLY! In gray, it looked like a wet dog. I can't believe it's still being offered. There used to be a similar style in a botton-front fleece that was much nicer, Kingsfield Fleece or similar name.

I have been eyeing this coat for years. I finally purchased and was so excited to wear. FIT - very boxy, not flattering at all. A cinch waist would have solved this issue. FEEL - the fleece is not soft at all. The fleece is stiff and doesn't allow for a lot of movement. The oddest part of this coat is the lining. It's as if it's lined with canvas. The lining is so stiff and scratchy and not comfortable at all. I have to believe this coat was not always made this way as there are so many positive reviews. I tried it on 3 more times to see if it was just me but it's not. This coat is very strange overall and a huge disappointment given the price point.

Terrible the pockets ripped almost immediately very cold drafty no warm to the cold at all I’m disappointed

I loved the look of this jacket, and decided to keep it. I washed it to get ready to wear it and the zipper stopped working. Not the quality I'm accustomed to from LL Bean. Now I have to pay to send it back (and take the time to post it).

Nice coat but not for me , the fit was big and bulky but if I would have went down a size it would have been to snug. Really wanted to love this coat , had to return .

I really don't like this jacket. It's not warm at all. It just looks warm. I'm seriously thinking about returning it.

I've only had this jacket for a few weeks and the zipper broke. :(

I ordered a fleece jacket that is due this week to be delivered. It was on sale for $119.00. Today when I checked tracking information, the jacket is on sale for $89.99. Poor business practice in my opinion. Will not be giving this company my business again.

Looked nothing like the one in hour catalog and felt awful when it arrived. First tine ever I disliked an LL Bean product tht much.I could not wait to get it back to you, and I did, the very next business day. Horrible coat.
