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

I love this fleece jackets - it is elegant, warm, stretchy in just the right way, and the range of colors available are lovely. However, there is definitely something amiss with the collar. It is 'hard'/stiff. I tried on several at the LL Beans store just to make sure, and it is the same issue. If there is a way to make that collar less stiff, it would honestly make this unbeatable, and I would buy all the coolers.

It's a nice subtle color, nice fitted cut, good extra length to cover my bottom a bit, but the fabric is too coarse for me. I prefer soft fleece.

I loved everything about the coral color and feel of the fabric EXCEPT the left sleeve was so tight! The sleeve was 1 inch narrower in width than the right arm! I'm returning and reordering and hoping the next one fits ok

This is a beautiful jacket, but the sleeves are tight! LLBean, you should loosen up your sleeves on jackets and shirts! Also, its quite snug, although its the same size i always buy. But, i will keep it because it is warm, and the color is nice.

Nicely made just didn't care for the fabric. I like a smoother texture

Petite Xsmall. Bought spruce and it fit beautifully. Loved it so much bought Mallard Blue in same size and Deep Coral they are straight and bulky and by tape measure 1 inch wider and as you can see in the pix the deep coral is longer. I love the spruce and have to decide to spend the money to have the other two tailored. LLB is surely having difficulty with suppliers being consistent.

Good color but I wish it were a little smaller and a little warmer.

Love color, fit, warmth, but it's a bit itchy.Hope that will disappear over time with more washings.

This is a good quality fleece jacket but unfortunately it was too structured for me due to the type of should seams. I think a raglan style would feel more comfortable. The fit also seemed to run a bit small as it was a medium and I normally wear small and medium in LLBean clothing, where the medium usually fits roomier on me. I will continue my search for a fleece jacket.

I'm PLUS and ordered my usual size 1X. Was uncomfortably snug in the sleeves and around the waistOtherwise nice warm sweater.

Fleece sweater jacket has odd fabric feel, unlike other fleece products I have purchased from LL Beean

Love the fit. The zippered pockets are great. My zipper is holding up well. But jacket pilled very badly and I cannot wear it outside now. So sad

I bought this in A lovely light blue color. The jacket is as described, warm. BUT THE INSIDE POCKETS are made of a WHITE material that looks like you are showing underwear. This is the women model, the men have dark pockets. I am really annoyed at this, because I want to keep the jacket but it looks ridiculous unless zipped up

This was way too big and heavy on me. I ordered it as an indoor sweater, but it was so heavy it could almost be a winter jacket. I also ordered a size up so it would fit over my regular sweaters, but the sleeves weree too long and it looked big and sloppy. On the plus side,it looked well made and the color was pretty.

This is the fifth sweater fleece jacket I've bought over the years. Love them!!! But this Artic Blue has WHITE linings in the pockets that really detract from appearance. All the other colors, including another blue I'm replacing, have coordinating pocket linings that don't stand out. If the pockets are zipped fine, but than it's a problem using the pockets. Also, I first ordered this in a tall M which you didn't offer before. I'm 5'11 and thought a little extra length would be nice. However the tall M was larger all over so it didn't fit. I then exchanged the Tall M for a regular M . It fits fine as usual. But I'm out the $6.00 postage rtd and lost the $10.00 off coupon I'd originally used.

I loved this sweater fleece but ended up returning it because the collar is so stiff and you can't fold it over. It kept hitting my chin.

Great jacket except for the collar, which is stiff and hits uncomfortably against your chin

Loved it,but too small. Did not have in larger size.

Beautiful blue color but when pockets are unzipped the white lining is apparent. I always leave pockets unzipped for easy use. Pockets need to be blue or black. So strange looking that i had to return.

I love the look of this but I am 5'8 and the arm length is barely hitting my wrists.

Still a nice jacket, but bought one a few years ago that was of much better quality. The material is definitely more cheaply made.

Sizing for this jacket is all goofed up. We have always ordered Wormens Regualr in Medium for my wife. This Jacket arrived and we found it to be very tight fit. Had to be returned. Wife liked the jacket but they don't have them in her size. And they charged us over $6 to return it. We will be very less likely to order from LL Bean in the future.

Love these jackets. This is the sixth one I own of different brands including LLBEAN. I can not believe that your company would put white pockets in the beautiful arctic blue..The white color stands out and really cheapens the look. Every other one I own has pockets to match the jacket color. I have not decided if I am going to return it yet. Please rethink your design or I will not be reordering any more of these in the future.

I LOVE A LOT OF THE CLOTHING I BUY FROM YOU, LL, BUT I DETEST HAVING YOUR LOGO DISPLAYED FRONT AND CENTER. EVEN IF YOU PAID ME TO ADVERTISE YOU ON MY CLOTHING, I WOULDN'T LIKE IT. I'D PREFER NOTHING - BUT A SMALL LOGO SAY AT THE HEM ON THE SIDE - WOULD BE LESS OBJECTIONABLE. OR THE LINE OF LLBEAN "TAPE" RUNNING DOWN FROM THE NECT ON THE BACK OF A NEW SHIRT I PURCHASED. BUT WHAT IS THAT SHINY DOT ON ONE SIDE? LESS VISIBLE, WHICH I APPRECIATE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A CHEAP TAG LEFT ON BY MISTAKE. PEOPLE MIGHT PURCHASE FROM YOU BASED ON MY ADVICE, BUT NOT ON MY LOGO. PLEASE GET RID OF THEM IN THE CURRENT FORM. IF YOU DO IT FOR TEENS, WELL, HAVE A DIFFERENT LINE FOR THEM. I did not purchase this jacket (but still had to rate it to send my commentss.) It's a lot of money to pay to sport your logo, specially when it is unwanted. Thank you, ,and sent with the hope you will reconsider logos.

After reading several reviews, I decided the consensus was the jacket ran a bit small. So, I ordered a large (I wear a medium in almost everything, but I order some jackets in large to be able to fit over layers) and it was so big it felt sloppy on me with a long-sleeved shirt under. When I sat down with it zipped, there was so much extra fabric popping forward. Back to read more reviews and I discovered that some people felt the sizing was inconsistent based on color, so maybe the medium would end up fitting. Sadly, nope. It fit much better throughout the torso, but it was way too tight through the arms and armpits. I thought the jacket was very soft and warm, and I really like the style and color (hence 3 stars), but couldn't get a good-fitting one.
