Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Bean's Sweater Fleece Full Zip Jacket

Unfortunately this did not work for me. Normally take and L or XL in other brands but went with XL and the arms were too tight to layer or be comfortable. Also the sleeve were a good 3" too long. I'm 5'4". Quality was great just wasn't sized right for me.

Love the weight, color and fit. It's still too warm to wear it, but looking forward to cool weather so I can put it to daily wear.

This is a nice jacket, I ordered a Petite. It fit fine until I zipped it up. Too tight around the neck. I returned it.

I liked the color, but not the piped tab on the inside of the zipper -it just looked weird to me. Also, the XL was too snug, and the 1X was too loose in the waist and hips.

This fleece jacket is too tight. I have learned my lesson about buying garments that are described as slightly fitted. Unfortunately, this seems to apply to all fleece tops. Why? Do all women want tight clothing now? I don't want to exchange it for a larger size. I just give up! Too bad because the color is attractive.

Very nice and well-made. Like the zippered pockets. Size up for a comfort fit. Upper part of sleeve could be a little wider. Fit does not allow for much layering underneath unless you size-up more. Perfect over a single layer long or short sleeve top. Generous in length.

The material is a little rough ... I thought it would of been a softer fleece and also would of liked thumb holes

I bought my first sweater fleece jacket a year ago February in a Large, and it was great! However, after about 9 months, the zipper on both pockets broke. Because of the generous return policy, I retuned it. Then recently, ordered another one, same size. It was huge! (Nope, no weight loss to account for that:)) Sadly, I am returning it. I guess it is time to move on....

I love this jacket: it is the perfect weight and the blue is brilliant. The big draw back is the white lining used for the pockets. It probably is a cost savings for LLBean to do this, but it affects my aesthetics about the jacket.

This top is expensive but it looked good on right away. I don't like the lining behind the pockets, which is made of some synthetic material and takes up the whole lower front. I wish they would use felt or some other material. I was considering sending it back and then I washed it and it's actually better after a washing, it feels softer. The outer layer felt a little plasticky, but that wears off with washing which is key. I chose the burgundy color which has a little bit too much of a bubble gum tint. L.L. Bean used to have really good burgundies, purples and anything in the red spectrum. I wish they would bring them back and I'm talking about from 10 or 15 or more years ago

Nice shape and color (rust), sleeves could be a little longer, and my main complaint is that it started pilling after only a few times wearing and washing it.

Love the level of warmth - but the fit is a bit off. Sleeves are a little tight, body is a bit loose. Collar is annoyingly stiff - probably wouldn't buy it again.

The sleeves on this jacket are both too narrow and too long. (For reference, I'm 5'2" and ordered a Petite XS.) I'm quite disappointed to have to return the item, as in every other way it is a lovely jacket.

Nice color, but bulky and unflattering fit. I returned it. More micro fleece please!

It's a great jacket, just didn't fit me well. Arms were too short.

Nice quality jacket, but the lilac color is too muted. i bought the French Lilac jacket, but when I got it, it seems more Gray then Lilac (90% gray, 10% lilac). It doesn't look as lilac as the website picture. It's a very subtle, very light lilac color It seems it was only truly Lilac on the edges of the sleeves, collar, and zipper. I wish it was more of a vibrant purple. I wish more of LL Beans Women's clothing came in vibrant purple hues and less of the heathered, "dusty" colors. I'm really disappointed about this sweater fleece jacket's color.

I like the jacket as it's warm and comfortable, however I've worn it for less than a month and it's already getting some little pills. This is way too expensive to look less than perfect so quickly. Yes, I can fix that with a fabric shaver but I shouldn't have to do that already.

Nice sweater but the medium petite I ordered recently is smaller than a previously bought sweater I bought a year ago. Have noticed such size fluctuations in your clothing lately.

I am a large but this was way too large even for layering. It was somewhat scratchy too. I thought it would be different as I love LLBeans stuff!

Love this jacket- own two in Tall version. Want to buy another but Tall options limited in colors. Would love it in a black, gingerbread , shadow green, grey, brown etc. Please offer more colors or at least in same colors you offer for regular size. Or make jacket longer . I'm 5' 7" with long torso and regular too short.

I used to love this jacket, owned three different colors, but then L.L. Bean decided to put that huge logo tag on the front. This ruins the look of this jacket. Hoping the tag is removed someday and that this jacket is offered in navy blue, black, and plum again (without the tag on the front).

I own two of these same jackets from previous years. I love them, so you can understand why I was surprised and sad to find out they are now making the jacket smaller. I returned it at my cost, of course, then reordered a size up, at my cost, of course. Beware, shipping back and forth will cost you if you expect it to fit like their previous jackets of this style.

I saved up my Bean Bucks for a year to have enough to pay for 3/4 of this sweater, so I was excited to finally get it. I was disappointed with the length of the sleeves even though I purchased tall. The sleeves just barely come to my wrist. If I put my arms up, 1-2 inches of my wrist stick out. This would be expected for a regular size, but not tall. It's as though they put the regular sleeves on a tall length sweater. I kept it because I really wanted this sweater in this color. I had ordered other items with the sweater, and ended up returning those items. Come to find out they refunded most of my Bean Bucks, so I didn't actually get to use the Bean Bucks on this sweater and I paid for most of it. I now have a bit pot of Bean Bucks sitting in my account and have nothing to order.

Whatever happened to BUTTONS??? The zippers are never great and even the snaps are a bit of a trial. I returned this item for those reasons.

I don't like the color. Picture looks red, it is more rosey
