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

I ordered this jacket in Regular Medium. It was well made and overall fit was good with the exception of sleeves being too short. I returned it.

This is my second L.L. Bean Sweater Fleece - thick and cozy and respectable enough for going out and about town.

I like the soft fabric and the warmth. I did not keep the sweater because it was just too snug. I would have liked a little bit looser fit--not baggy, just not so snug.

It's warmer than mountainside (which is not as warm as mountain classic, in my opinion!). I love the slightly roomier cut at the belly section than a brand that's known better in my area. Nice color too. However, the threads are shown to be loose. This is only day 4 of my wearing. I believe I received the USED piece. The tag was nowhere. The curf liners and under-arm area have shown pills. Minor but definitely not a new look.

I bought one of these jackets a few years ago. I decided I wanted one in a different color. Same quality and fit like the previous jacket. I have been very disappoint with LL Bean products lately, but this jacket works for me. Glad to know some of their products are still good quality. It is very hard to find petite sizes so I am happy with my purchase.

The sweater is well made and has 3 zippered pockets. Unfortunately for me, too tight through my broad shoulders. Regardless, I would recommend this sweater.

It is warm and good looking, you can wear it casually or even for a formal meeting.

I own a sweater fleece in a size medium and it fits perfectly which I purchased about 4 years ago. I wanted a second but the medium sizing was off. The fit appeared tighter in all medium-sized sweaters. The large was way to big.

Warm, soft on inside. I like the dark lining to pockets for when I wear it open. But, this pretty glacier blue on their website is not the same as the color of the product. It is more of a teal-blue. Disappointed in color. I wish they would bring back the original sapphire blue and have the seams blend with the color of the jacket, instead of having a contrasting color tone.

I assumed from the description that this jacket would be the same weight as two sweatshirt-like full-zip jackets I bought six months ago, which I love and wear throughout our Gulf Coast winter. So excited to see the lavender color. Unfortunately this is a too heavy weight for me. Sadly sent it back. Two stars, because of the unclear weight description.

Nice sweater jacket for cool fall days and layering. I'm 5'8 and 185, ordered the xl tall, wanted it to come to my hips. Length is just right, fits good other than the sleeves are very long.

Great quality but should have ordered 1X instead of an XL for more space and comfort.

Annoying collar. Can't wear makeup because the zipper makes it almost impossible to turn down the collar so it gets covered in foundation. Sticks up into chin and is just uncomfortable. Love color and fabrics and everything else but the collar.

The color french lilac isn't as nice as it shows online. It actually looks more gray with lilac on the zipper. Still a good product, but colors are not true to their name.

Beautiful jacket. The XS runs small in the sleeves. Returning for a size S

Very warm. The upper arms could be a little bit bigger.

Replaced an older LLB sweater fleece and noticed the lighter weight right out of the box. Side by side comparison confirmed this. Disappointing but still a decent product. Plum rose color drab. You can pick out stitches to remove the ugly tag. Not many options for sweater fleece and it's good enough.

Heavy sweatshirt, good for fall, snug fit, might need a little larger size

The item i received was too large and I am waiting for an exchange. I like the style and looking forward to the new one.

I wore the jacket for the first time today and the pretty spring-like "Lake" color received compliments. I love the many zippered pockets and the two without zippers inside perfect for going grocery shopping without the need to carry a purse. I agree with other reviews on two points: the jacket runs smaller than your usual size Large, though that seemed to be to my benefit, as I am often between sizes. My biggest gripe is the unflattering logo advertising plastered over the left front of what would otherwise be a lovely jacket. I feel like a walking billboard; I'd wear the jacket in many more places if it did not have that ugly, tacky logo. Please, please, go back to years past when the L L Bean name was tastefully embossed on a sleeve cuff or above the hemline.

Love the sweater fleece. Have two other colors. The size seems a little smaller than the other two but worth keeping.

I bought this for my Daughter for chilly soccer game Saturdays and she loved it.

I have enjoyed wearing this jacket. I love the deep red color and it has not pilled like some other similar jackets I have had. It is quite warm.

I bought this jacket in January 2024 and wear it often in the winter. I noticed recently that the zipper on side both pockets no longer zips. I called LL Bean Customer Service and there are no known issues about this. It's not the end of the world as I mainly use the pockets to keep my hands warm.

I loved the color, but was disappointed that it ran small and I couldn't close it to zip it.
