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

This jacket was larger than the petite small one I received for Christmas. I ordered the second one because the first one fit perfectly.

I bought this for an upcoming trip abroad. It was perfect except that the sleeves were so long that I had to roll them twice. It was not a good look. I love the zipper pocket on the upper arm. It makes a great mid-weight topper. I had to send it back for the sleeves.

This is a very nice jacket; pretty blue, nicely styled, and well constructed. The material was a little too stiff for me and I knew it would bother me. After some deliberation I returned it.

The fit of the top of the jacket is great; the bottom half doesn't seem to know what it wants to do ~ a little messy-looking. I especially don't like that the pockets, inside, are WHITE! Unless jacket is completely zipped, including both pockets, this white is contrasting to the lovely blue.

I wanted something a little more dressed up than my zip up fleece jacket. This fit the bill. Warm enough for Spring/Fall weather and many choices in color. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the sleeves are way too long. This detracts from the style.

Size: I guess I shall order one size smaller. Texture: I expect it would be thicker

The mountain red is an outstanding shade of red for winter months. I got the tall and at 5'9" I find the length perfect. Only negative is the collar is scratchy if not wearing a turtleneck. A competitors similar sweater has a nice soft lining inside the collar. I wish LLBean would do the same.

This is a nice, warm jacket but small for a size small, especially if you want to layer. I fine it tighter in the armpits. I usually wear a small or xs in Bean tops.

I loved the jacket, however it does run small. I normally wear a medium, but this jacket was too tight. I am sending it back.

I am 5'7.5" and 150 lbs at age 60. I first ordered a medium then returned it for a large. This fit well and allowed for more room including a light sweater to be worn underneath. It's warm, looks nicer than a fleece, and the sage green is the perfect color for warm winter or cool spring.

I loved this jacket but it's not designed for a lady who needs a little extra room in the chest area. Returned. :-(

Love this jacket and color is great. The fit is good. The only thing I don't like is the white pockets. Should have been blue or black. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star.

Really nice piece...only reason I gave it 4 stars, was because of the really cheap, sewn on Bean patch front and center on the chest. Should be nicely embroidered, or at least tonal!!

Nice and warm! I will wear it more this Spring/Summer. only layer a thin shirt or tank top under it.

I think the jacket is warm and attractive and a nice color. It would fit me better if it weren't fitted at the waist. Fleece Jackets are better loose.

I wanted to try LLBean's Sweater Fleece Full Zip Jacket to compare it to the Patatgonia version that a friend gifted to me, and I like yours better. It's not quite so tight, and the princess seams give it a more pleasing silhouette. And a little more rear coverage doesn't hurt either! If I recall, some reviewers found the collar ends a little sharp and uncomfortable at times; your competition's collar was a little softer and less obtrusive.

I already had this in teal and the color on this one looked green and had a green color name. Really it was closer to teal and had teal trim so it was too close to my other one.

The performance is good, but the fit is not quite what I hoped for. I think the jacket should be a little shorter and the sleeves not as tight. 'It is a little stiff for comfort, but it does keep me warm and looks good! I have yet to see what laundering will do to it.

Fits very well, love the sweater-like fabric. Disappointed that the pockets are made with a white fabric. When the pocket zippers are open, the white fabric showing is not attractive. Pockets should have been made with a matching fabric.

This jacket is very comfortable and warm. I love the Arctic blue color. I wish the neck was softer.

I enjoy everything about this jacket except THE SLEEVES. They are SO NARROW! Even though I have thin arms, I can wear only the thinnest of shirts underneath the jacket. It really limits the versatility of what I can wear it over.

Very nice jacket, love the blue color. But after I bought it I noticed the pockets are lined with white material, and it is very noticeable. A dark blue color that matches the trim would look MUCH better.

Beautiful color (blue). Fits perfectly, no extra room. However, exterior sweater material is scratchy not soft. And pocket interiors are WHITE, not a matching blue. Does not have the quality I expect from LLBean. Disappointed because i expected soft sweater material and at least matching blue color pocket interiors.

I have this same jacket in purple from a few years ago and comparing it to that LLBean now makes them a little thinner, a little slimmer in the arms, and now with the big label on the chest. I do still like it and just took a seam ripper to the label, but FYI

Awesome sweater but Petite L fit is smaller than normal fit I ordered two, a gray and a blue. The blue was even smaller fit than gray. I've ordered petite L from LL Bean for decades and haven't had this problem before
