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

I've bought this sort of Bean garment before and the fit never works for me and I look stuffed. I tried size range petite this time.

I ordered this fleece in soft spruce. Beautiful color and great fit (medium 5'4", 140 lbs.) but I wanted to wear layers, and the sleeves were just too skinny. I reluctantly had to send it back.

Nice sweater but heavier than I expected. Purchased the regular L and it was too long in body and sleeves for me, with no double zipper. Had to return.

I will be exchanging for a smaller size. I have another one and they are warm and fit well.

This is a lovely, warm fleece jacket, but the sleeves are too tight to go over anything long-sleeved. I like the Tall option

The sweater fleece is perfect for milder days. Very comfortable and always gets compliments. I'm giving it four stars instead of five because I don't like the way it looks when the pockets are unzipped. The fleece is a medium blue and the pockets are cream colored. The color difference really stands out when the pockets are unzipped.

Very nice overall, just what I wanted, except that the size changed. LL Bean XS fits me perfectly. This was too tight under the arms, and I returned it.

I have one of these from several years ago and would like to get a new one, but I really dislike the large chest label on the full-zip jacket length. I don't want the longer coat length which omits the label. Please!!!!!

This was a gift, granddaughter loved its weight and fit

My only issue is LLBean logo is too large for my taste. The jacket, weight, fit , color is all great

I added this fleece to my order at the last minute. I didn't need it and I hadn't really noticed it before. It was the color that caught my eye. Upon receipt, I saw that it was 100% poly, so I wasn't even going to try it on. For some reason I thought it was cotton/wool. Anyhow, after a bit I decided to try it on over my new green hoodie, AND WOW! I was so cozy warm - for the next three days, I only took it off to bathe and sleep! I go to different field offices and outside for work. Cold, hot, cold, hot all day long. I appreciate how this fleece is sweater cozy but with a zipper. The slim fit is great for layering under a rain jacket and it looks sharper than ratty fleece jackets. Bust, waist, hips are 38", 31", 41" (not curvy), puchased a medium.

The jacket is well-constructed and looks nice, but I was disappointed that it doesn't fit true to size. It was tight, so I would recommend ordering a size up

Love this jacket ! perfect fit for a petite frame. The only thing that bothers me a little is the collar is a little too high. It keeps hitting me in the chin. Too bad I live in Florida and can't get more use of it.

I ordered the XS and it was a little big through the shoulders

The blue color is great, and it is a warm and sturdy piece of outerwear. I ordered a long because my torso is long, and I'm glad I did. The cut is pleasing with a curved hem in the back. I marked it down because the sleeves are rather tight and are also quite long. I turn them up about 2 inches, but this detracts from the overall look.

Good quality, just too small for the missus. She is petite, between a medium and large. I will reorder.

Love it. Good fit, nice construction and details, warm. Size medium is perfect, 5'6", 125#. First time I had a pocket zipper on the arm. Relatively useless, because 2 hands are needed to open and close the zipper.

Very nice quality - just what I was looking for. Unfortunately the fit was not right for me - back tail too long.

Love it as a transition piece in the fall and an extra layer in the cold winter. The zipper pockets are great for keeping keys and cell phones protected.

LL Bean fleece sweater fits perfectly, also especially love it because it had hidden pockets on the inside of the sweater..

This is a perfect light jacket for fall days that are getting cooler but still warm enough to not want anything too heavy. It fits true to size (4'11, 95 lbs) and the color selection is very nice, I chose a neutral which goes with everything but the other options are very pretty in the store. My only complaints: I wish it was lined and I tried it in pink, same size, it had just a little more room in the arms which would be nice for a hacker Mayer underneath but I preferred this color; and I wish it wasn't t so expensive. I had a coupon so that helped but 100$ for a fleece is very high IMO. I feel it's generally worth it with this brand but still felt high, probably wouldn't have bought it without a coupon.

I'm 5'6 and 195# and the 1x is perfect, even a tad roomy. The XL was too snug. I find the jacket very snuggly warm until the wind blows. Then, like a sweater, the wind goes right through it, like you're not wearing a jacket at all. So I guess this jacket may have a use for me. It's flattering and the color is pretty. Maybe for long car rides in cooler weather when you'll only be walking from car to house?

I purchased this jacket awhile ago in a beautiful shade of blue that is no longer available. The jacket is very attractive and well made. The one negative is that there is no breast pocket as there is on the men's version. I realize that designers are very fashion conscious, however, having a breast pocket would be very convenient.

I bought it 2 years ago & still love it. I wish you would make it in black.

Really lovely warm sweater. Was not a fan of the bright green edging contrasted with the muted green spruce color so I sent it back
