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

I love this item - have 2 that I bought his year. I wear them alll the time for the warmth and they fit well. Also wash well. The sizing has changed some - the small bought this year fits same as a medium of same item bought in 2015. I agree to remove the logo in future years. Yes other brands have their label in the same front location with similar items - no label better.

I bought this for my Daughter and every time I see her she has it on. She loves it. It looks really nice.

Love this item...Very well made and oh so warm..True to size and I really like the nautical blue color..Comfortable too..

I orginally ordered the half zip hooded version which I didn't like at all. So I went into the Freeport store and tried them all on. I left with this one, in gray. Its has a nice weight and length. I was worried the sweater would snag easily but it hasnt nor has it shown much wear or breakage. I am wearing this often, nearly every day all day long. Nice high quality fabrics.

Great fit, the petite is perfect for my arm length, don't need to roll them up. Warm but not hot. This is my second one and I live in Florida!

I got it at the store, had to try as I am between L and XL. Like the full zip and fits better around the waist than I expected. Love that the back is a little longer than the front and do not care about the logo very much so does not bother me that is up front. The quality is great, is a thicker material but comfortable and the weight is perfect for those errants days while with the kids and pockets are super useful for keys and cell and you can zip them too! The only thing I would say the zipper end close to your neck may touch your chin/jaw which for me rubs off my make up sometimes, it has a cover so the zipper does not really touch your skin but the material does. I washed it and cleans well, is soft so really does not bother me just and FYI. My mom also liked it so got her a pair.

Received an xl as a gift for Christmas. Fit was too big. Exchanged for the lg and it was a much better fit. A little more snug than I'm used to, but enough room and looks good. A light long sleeve works well under jacket.

Finally something fitted and stylish, and not frumpy, from LL Bean. This jacket is well made, it looks nice and it is nice and warm. I like it so much.

Good fit. Comfortable.

Classy look and warm however not as wind resistant as I would like. Very comfortable and the pockets are actually functional.

Wearing this is like having a warm hug. Highly recommended bought 2 more. Outstanding color selection.

This fleece feels light to wear and is warm and comfortable. Fits well and great color choice.

This is my new favorite warm fleece sweater. I actually purchased another one to add to my collection. They are warm, pretty and can be warn with multiple outfits (dress up or down). LOVE THIS FLEECE! And I have gotten so many compliments on it too.

I have this in 2 colors...loving it..size medium....I wish that BLACK was on the list and waiting to see if Bean will add....its soft, comfy, and keeps its shape.

My company bought this sweater fleece for the women on staff. We all love it. It seems to run just a tiny bit large. It hangs great. Unlike my other fleece that I'm tugging down everytime I stand or bend. This one is alway in place. The extra length is great, both in style and comfort. It is warm without being too warm. We all love it so much we are all ordering another. And we all have different shapes sizes and tastes. And rarely all like one article of clothing but this one won us all over. I wear mine often and have washed it 6 or 7 times it looks great. I never dry it, just hang to dry. And its dry in no time.

I ordered up a size and I'm glad I did. It fits perfect and looks great. I get so many compliments on it. It's very warm and great for winter.

I am glad I finally made this purchase! I read through a lot of reviews to choose my size (thanks for including your sz & weight ppl!). I decided to go with the petite large because sleeve length on regular large can run too long for me. The petite large is perfect for me in this garment, however one more inch length for the body of the garment would have been nice. I have not had to launder it, but I am sure will be fine. I also removed the logo - very carefully. It just stood out too much on the Pewter color I chose.

I really am pleased with this product and find that it is the perfect weight for adding just the right amount of warmth for "chilly" days and evenings. I add a down vest when it is really cold and love that I don't feel confined by a bulky sweater and can still stay warm and comfortable. I appreciate the added length; on me, it fits about three inches below my waste and gives a little more protection from the cold when I am seated. Another plus, is that it does not collect dog hair like a polartec sweater does! As far as styling, the sweater is slightly fitted without being too snug. The trim around the colar and sleeves adds a nice tailored look which is hard to find in casual wear. The only negative, is the size of the logo. It is way too large. I feel like I am wearing an ad. I don't mind having a logo on a piece of clothing, but this is way too prominent for adult clothing. I have unstitched the logo and it does leave an indention, which I am not happy about, but at least I am not preoccupied with the size of this large bright logo on my otherwise very good looking sweater. I just treated myself to another one yesterday and am looking forward to its arrival!

I love my sweater fleece jacket! It's warm, comfortable, soft and cuddly. I've had the pullovers before and loved them so tried the full zip. So glad I did!! I've finally had to admit I've shrunk so I went with the petite - perfect. It's quite possibly the perfect jacket!

Gave this to daughter and she really likes it. Good fit and she loves the color (blue).

Planning to order a 2nd one. esp with discounts. Thank you

Fits just right (snug, but not tight) and the color I selected (coral, I believe) is great. Zipper easy to use (does not get caught in material on way up), pockets positioned just right, and the jacket provides me with just the right amount of warmth as the outer layer on 30- to 45-degree days. Nice to have the collar to cover my neck, and I like not having an attached or detached hood on this, giving the jacket a "business casual" look (not "slouchy").

I bought the bright Sapphire last year and loved it! I got so many complements in the color. I really like all the pockets, two outside hip length zippered, one zippered on the arm and the 2 bonus inside the coat "unofficial" pockets. I use them for storing phone, mittens, hat etc. I wear a turtleneck under the fleece during colder months, in the spring and fall the v neck tee works great for layering. I like this jacket so much I bought all the colors except the sailcloth. My favorite colors are the bright Sapphire and the evening blue. Black turtleneck looks crisp under these coats. I wish there was a purple sunset color available that I could wear as a matching underlayer for my Ultralight 850 Down Jacket. I know other customers didn't like the Ll bean logo. I don't like the logo either as I think jacket looks dressier without it. I simply take a seam ripper and carefully remove them. It isn't noticeable if you don't before washing. I would like Ll Bean to leave the label off future versions. The jacket washes up nice and holds up well! Thank you Ll Bean.

I have seen similar sweater fleece before, but I never was thrilled with the colors offered. I decided to try this jacket in Evening Blue. What a pretty shade or I should say shades of blue. This sweater/jacket is comfortable and warm to wear. Since I often get cold (even in the house) I am extremely happy to own this sweater fleece. There may be a Bright Sapphire color added in my future!

Bought my first one last year and liked it so much, I bought another one this year! In addition to the obvious uses as a warm layer inside a cool house, and as a transitional outdoor jacket, I also find it a versatile travel piece, because it serves as a robe-type layer when visiting. One less garment to pack. For my satisfaction, I have 2 comments. It would be more comfortable if the inside piece of collar were made of softer fabric. Secondly, my original purchase has shown a lot of pilling with use. Neither of these comments has prevented me from frequently using these pieces.
