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

The sleeves on this jacket are both too narrow and too long. (For reference, I'm 5'2" and ordered a Petite XS.) I'm quite disappointed to have to return the item, as in every other way it is a lovely jacket.

Nice color, but bulky and unflattering fit. I returned it. More micro fleece please!

It's a great jacket, just didn't fit me well. Arms were too short.

Nice quality jacket, but the lilac color is too muted. i bought the French Lilac jacket, but when I got it, it seems more Gray then Lilac (90% gray, 10% lilac). It doesn't look as lilac as the website picture. It's a very subtle, very light lilac color It seems it was only truly Lilac on the edges of the sleeves, collar, and zipper. I wish it was more of a vibrant purple. I wish more of LL Beans Women's clothing came in vibrant purple hues and less of the heathered, "dusty" colors. I'm really disappointed about this sweater fleece jacket's color.

I like the jacket as it's warm and comfortable, however I've worn it for less than a month and it's already getting some little pills. This is way too expensive to look less than perfect so quickly. Yes, I can fix that with a fabric shaver but I shouldn't have to do that already.

Nice sweater but the medium petite I ordered recently is smaller than a previously bought sweater I bought a year ago. Have noticed such size fluctuations in your clothing lately.

I am a large but this was way too large even for layering. It was somewhat scratchy too. I thought it would be different as I love LLBeans stuff!

Love this jacket- own two in Tall version. Want to buy another but Tall options limited in colors. Would love it in a black, gingerbread , shadow green, grey, brown etc. Please offer more colors or at least in same colors you offer for regular size. Or make jacket longer . I'm 5' 7" with long torso and regular too short.

I used to love this jacket, owned three different colors, but then L.L. Bean decided to put that huge logo tag on the front. This ruins the look of this jacket. Hoping the tag is removed someday and that this jacket is offered in navy blue, black, and plum again (without the tag on the front).

I own two of these same jackets from previous years. I love them, so you can understand why I was surprised and sad to find out they are now making the jacket smaller. I returned it at my cost, of course, then reordered a size up, at my cost, of course. Beware, shipping back and forth will cost you if you expect it to fit like their previous jackets of this style.

I saved up my Bean Bucks for a year to have enough to pay for 3/4 of this sweater, so I was excited to finally get it. I was disappointed with the length of the sleeves even though I purchased tall. The sleeves just barely come to my wrist. If I put my arms up, 1-2 inches of my wrist stick out. This would be expected for a regular size, but not tall. It's as though they put the regular sleeves on a tall length sweater. I kept it because I really wanted this sweater in this color. I had ordered other items with the sweater, and ended up returning those items. Come to find out they refunded most of my Bean Bucks, so I didn't actually get to use the Bean Bucks on this sweater and I paid for most of it. I now have a bit pot of Bean Bucks sitting in my account and have nothing to order.

Whatever happened to BUTTONS??? The zippers are never great and even the snaps are a bit of a trial. I returned this item for those reasons.

I don't like the color. Picture looks red, it is more rosey

I love this fleece jackets - it is elegant, warm, stretchy in just the right way, and the range of colors available are lovely. However, there is definitely something amiss with the collar. It is 'hard'/stiff. I tried on several at the LL Beans store just to make sure, and it is the same issue. If there is a way to make that collar less stiff, it would honestly make this unbeatable, and I would buy all the coolers.

It's a nice subtle color, nice fitted cut, good extra length to cover my bottom a bit, but the fabric is too coarse for me. I prefer soft fleece.

I loved everything about the coral color and feel of the fabric EXCEPT the left sleeve was so tight! The sleeve was 1 inch narrower in width than the right arm! I'm returning and reordering and hoping the next one fits ok

This is a beautiful jacket, but the sleeves are tight! LLBean, you should loosen up your sleeves on jackets and shirts! Also, its quite snug, although its the same size i always buy. But, i will keep it because it is warm, and the color is nice.

Nicely made just didn't care for the fabric. I like a smoother texture

Petite Xsmall. Bought spruce and it fit beautifully. Loved it so much bought Mallard Blue in same size and Deep Coral they are straight and bulky and by tape measure 1 inch wider and as you can see in the pix the deep coral is longer. I love the spruce and have to decide to spend the money to have the other two tailored. LLB is surely having difficulty with suppliers being consistent.

Good color but I wish it were a little smaller and a little warmer.

Love color, fit, warmth, but it's a bit itchy.Hope that will disappear over time with more washings.

This is a good quality fleece jacket but unfortunately it was too structured for me due to the type of should seams. I think a raglan style would feel more comfortable. The fit also seemed to run a bit small as it was a medium and I normally wear small and medium in LLBean clothing, where the medium usually fits roomier on me. I will continue my search for a fleece jacket.

I'm PLUS and ordered my usual size 1X. Was uncomfortably snug in the sleeves and around the waistOtherwise nice warm sweater.

Fleece sweater jacket has odd fabric feel, unlike other fleece products I have purchased from LL Beean

Love the fit. The zippered pockets are great. My zipper is holding up well. But jacket pilled very badly and I cannot wear it outside now. So sad
