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

Warm & well made. I love the multitude of pockets (especially in a women's piece of clothing!). The only complaint I have is the extremely stiff collar that will not lay down so that it ends up rubbing on your face. I with there were a little hide snap on each side to help. I plan on get two small decorative pins or maybe even see snaps on myself. For sizing, I'm 5'8" range between 120-130lbs thin built with a long torso & smallish chest. I purchased a tall medium which fits perfectly with a tshirt (short or long sleeve). Sleeves sit tight below my wrist & the back hits squarely mid rear end. This is a great chilly spring or fall day jacket you know the days when it's freezing in the morning & night, but gets warm/ hot in the middle, so you feel like you need multiple outfit changes! Also awesome for those stores & buildings that like to drop the thermostat to freezing temps. Definitely a great wardrobe addition bit more put together than a hoodie.

I'm between sizes and I bought the larger one. It is a little too tight. The sleeves are a bit tight too, and the lining pushes the sleeves of my shirt up. I'm undecided whether to exchange for a larger size (I NEVER wear that size!) or just return it. It's a shame, I do like the fabric and coziness.

Nice weight for fall and spring. I like the quality of the zipper and overall fit is strue to size. It does pill a bit more than I would like.

Love the fit! But not very warm, cool wind blows directly thru the fabric. Disappointing.

Very nice, but it ran too small for me to keep. First time my usual LL Bean size was too small.

I like the petite fit, and I think this fleece will be cozy warm as out temperatures cool. Having bought several fleeces in the past from LLBean, I'm disappointed in the fabric which is not fleecy soft at all, and the jacket is quite heavy weight so it's just not suitable for me for travel. The blue color is perfect for me though, so I hope to get good wear from it.

8 it is really nice and glad my daughter in love really enjoys it.

I have this jacket in 3 colors. My only complaint is with the Arctic Blue. When the pockets are unzipped the white lining is revealed! Honestly it looks like my underwear is showing! It's a nuisance to have to zip the pocket each time I put my keys in and out! Other colors have a muted gray or the sailcloth has off white. I've mentioned this to Customer Service before and hoped that this Fall's version might have rectified the problem. Unfortunately I just learned that the blue is still the same white lining!

I want to give this jacket 5 stars but won't. It comes in women's TALL which I appreciate and it's wicked warm. But my blue jacket sports WHITE pocket LINING. It is like they took a short cut in sewing and design. I think the blue jacket deserved blue lining. I'll give it 4 stars and will hope the LL Bean design team reads this review. I'm sewing blue material in the pocket so white is not visible.

the first order was the wrong size and the zipper did not work properly...however the replacement was the correct size and the zipper did work....very pleased with the jacket

I got this fleece as a gift in blue, and I love everything about it except the color of the pocket lining. It is white - which if you leave the pockets open like I do to access my keys and phone, it shows the white. It would be much better if it were a darker color to match rather than white.

Just not a good fit for my body. Mailed it back. Thank you.

I live in Northern CA, so this jacket is perfect for cool morning walks in the Bay area.

I already bought one color.love it but need a black. When will that color be available?

I bought this for a trip to the Rockies. I have many LLBean items that are all small size and fit perfectly. I returned and purchased a medium which will be great with a layer under this. Very good quality.

I don't own this jacket but would love to. Would love to see this sweater fleece full- zip jacket offered in green (a warm autumn green). I would definitely buy one. I gave it 4 stars based on other reviews. Would get 5 if it was offered in a nice olive heather or sea green heather.

I ordered this jacket because I liked the color and the zippered pockets. The fabric is nice and cozy. But I did not like the sleeves, which I felt were narrow, more like a sweater's than a jacket's. After much thought, I returned the jacket.

Very nicely made zip up, the only problem was the collar didn't stay folded well.

I loved the look and ordered, based on reviews and a friend's sizing. I am between a medium and large; I ordered medium, and it fits, but there is no extra room. Jacket is VERY warm, a heavier weight than I anticipated. It will be good for cold mornings. There is not much stretch to the fabric. The fleece inside is cozy.

Warm, not wind proof, but toasty. Have exact sweater fleece with 1/4" snap opening in Med. Difficult for me to get off & arms too snug over anything but long sleeve tee. Much happier with this fit of full zip & size L. Just tried it on, but haven't actually worn it yet since it's summer on AL! Also have the long sweater vest & very happy with it. Wish they had 2 way zipper!

I ordered this sweater in a tall, which was fine, but the fit is very slender.

Good looking jacket but difficult getting arms in and out especially if wearing a sweater.

I like the jacket and the color. I wish the inside backing of the pockets weren't white. They stand out against the blue jacket color if the jacket is unzipped.

Great looking fleece. My only complaint is that the sleeves are very snug making it difficult to fit over long sleeves.

I love the color of my new jacket. It is well made. The only issue is it is too large. It fits to my shoulders but is way big every where else. I can almost double it over. I am keeping it though because it will definitely keep me warm. If I were to go a size down, it would not fit at the shoulders. Just not fitted correctly.
