Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Kids Hi-Pile Fleece Jacket (Toddler)

I absolutely loved this jacket after buying it for my granddaughter. However after just one washing, I found that the look of this jacket severely deteriorated because of the number of pulls that the jacket developed. It had to be trimmed all over the place. It also pilled very badly and did not look nice at all. For what this jacket cost, I expected much better quality! I am very disappointed LL Bean!

The jacket was very cute and true to size. It looks like it will be warm. However, it became very pilly when I washed and dried it. I had to use a lint brush to remove gobs of "fur".

The good, this looks so adorable on my toddler! The bad - she had worn it for approximately a month total (less than an hour each time), and the stitching under the armpit area has come unstitched. Not ripped or torn on our end, simply unraveled. I did contact customer service about it, but they wanted me to send the jacket back to them. If I did that, she would be without a jacket that fits her, and likely by the time we got it back, she will have outgrown it. I will just stitch it up myself. Very disappointed in the quality of this item, but the color and style are adorable.

Overall soft to touch and light weight. The sleeves were too long and the loose cuff opening made the coat too big to wear (no way to rollup and "grow into it"). My kid loves Teddy coats but hated the dark brown color of this one.
