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

I bought this in A lovely light blue color. The jacket is as described, warm. BUT THE INSIDE POCKETS are made of a WHITE material that looks like you are showing underwear. This is the women model, the men have dark pockets. I am really annoyed at this, because I want to keep the jacket but it looks ridiculous unless zipped up

This is the fifth sweater fleece jacket I've bought over the years. Love them!!! But this Artic Blue has WHITE linings in the pockets that really detract from appearance. All the other colors, including another blue I'm replacing, have coordinating pocket linings that don't stand out. If the pockets are zipped fine, but than it's a problem using the pockets. Also, I first ordered this in a tall M which you didn't offer before. I'm 5'11 and thought a little extra length would be nice. However the tall M was larger all over so it didn't fit. I then exchanged the Tall M for a regular M . It fits fine as usual. But I'm out the $6.00 postage rtd and lost the $10.00 off coupon I'd originally used.

I loved this sweater fleece but ended up returning it because the collar is so stiff and you can't fold it over. It kept hitting my chin.

Great jacket except for the collar, which is stiff and hits uncomfortably against your chin

Loved it,but too small. Did not have in larger size.

Beautiful blue color but when pockets are unzipped the white lining is apparent. I always leave pockets unzipped for easy use. Pockets need to be blue or black. So strange looking that i had to return.

I love the look of this but I am 5'8 and the arm length is barely hitting my wrists.

Still a nice jacket, but bought one a few years ago that was of much better quality. The material is definitely more cheaply made.

Sizing for this jacket is all goofed up. We have always ordered Wormens Regualr in Medium for my wife. This Jacket arrived and we found it to be very tight fit. Had to be returned. Wife liked the jacket but they don't have them in her size. And they charged us over $6 to return it. We will be very less likely to order from LL Bean in the future.

Love these jackets. This is the sixth one I own of different brands including LLBEAN. I can not believe that your company would put white pockets in the beautiful arctic blue..The white color stands out and really cheapens the look. Every other one I own has pockets to match the jacket color. I have not decided if I am going to return it yet. Please rethink your design or I will not be reordering any more of these in the future.

I LOVE A LOT OF THE CLOTHING I BUY FROM YOU, LL, BUT I DETEST HAVING YOUR LOGO DISPLAYED FRONT AND CENTER. EVEN IF YOU PAID ME TO ADVERTISE YOU ON MY CLOTHING, I WOULDN'T LIKE IT. I'D PREFER NOTHING - BUT A SMALL LOGO SAY AT THE HEM ON THE SIDE - WOULD BE LESS OBJECTIONABLE. OR THE LINE OF LLBEAN "TAPE" RUNNING DOWN FROM THE NECT ON THE BACK OF A NEW SHIRT I PURCHASED. BUT WHAT IS THAT SHINY DOT ON ONE SIDE? LESS VISIBLE, WHICH I APPRECIATE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A CHEAP TAG LEFT ON BY MISTAKE. PEOPLE MIGHT PURCHASE FROM YOU BASED ON MY ADVICE, BUT NOT ON MY LOGO. PLEASE GET RID OF THEM IN THE CURRENT FORM. IF YOU DO IT FOR TEENS, WELL, HAVE A DIFFERENT LINE FOR THEM. I did not purchase this jacket (but still had to rate it to send my commentss.) It's a lot of money to pay to sport your logo, specially when it is unwanted. Thank you, ,and sent with the hope you will reconsider logos.

After reading several reviews, I decided the consensus was the jacket ran a bit small. So, I ordered a large (I wear a medium in almost everything, but I order some jackets in large to be able to fit over layers) and it was so big it felt sloppy on me with a long-sleeved shirt under. When I sat down with it zipped, there was so much extra fabric popping forward. Back to read more reviews and I discovered that some people felt the sizing was inconsistent based on color, so maybe the medium would end up fitting. Sadly, nope. It fit much better throughout the torso, but it was way too tight through the arms and armpits. I thought the jacket was very soft and warm, and I really like the style and color (hence 3 stars), but couldn't get a good-fitting one.

So warm! Not bulky at all! Perfect for freezing hospitals!

This is a beautiful jacket, well made with lots of pockets with zippers. The down side is that it's very bulky. My other complaint is that it only has the zipper at the top, but none to release the bottom when I sit.

This sweater is not the same quality as in the past. It is now much more expensive and a quality that you could purchase at a discount store. Also, my other sweaters don't have the llbean label. Really, do you have to put a label on it? Mark down the price if you are using me to advertise the product.

My company does not allow employees to wear clothing with words on them. I purchased this jacket based on other reviewers stating they removed the LL Bean tag in the chest area. I thought perfect now I can wear to work in my rather cold office. AS I started to remove the Bean tag I noticed the discoloration underneath the tag. I stopped because it is so obvious and would look bad regardless where I wore the jacket. I contacted customer service and they said because I removed the tag, the jacket could not be returned. How would I know it was discolored unless I removed the tag. Very disappointed that I cannot wear to work but the arctic blue is a beautiful color, the jacket is warm and the fit is flattering.

I bought this jacket a month ago. I love it. The materials and fit are great! My complaint is that after 2 weeks, the zippers on the pockets became unattached on one side. I read reviews and this seems to be a consistent issue. I like the jacket so much, I managed to reconnect the zippers and then sewed the bottom of the zipper together so it doesn't happen again. This is a design defect that LL Bean needs to correct.

Sizing was accurate.but the sleeves were a smidgeon too tight for my problem arms. I washed and dried and it shrunk. Too bad. I'll try to resize by stretching wet and flat air drying. Wish me luck.

This sweater fleece ran VERY small. I was very disappointed and returned it. Normally 3X in Womens are very loose.

Doesn't LLB care what customers want? I hate the logo and never buy something with it prominantly displayed. There are ways you put your name on that are less off-putting, e.g., at bottom of placket. Why not respond to customers' desires?

I was very disappointed that the sweater was not well inspected before shipping. A pocket zipper pull was not attached and I found it in the pocket! A very superficial inspection would have shown it was missing since it was dark colored and the other pocket zipper pull was obvious. I did not appreciate the inconvenience of having to exchange it.

This jacket is great BUT the both zippered pockets have failed. L.L. Bean was great and immediately sent me another jacket once I reported the problem but the second jacket has the same problem. The tiny piece of fabric that prevents the zipper from reaching the end doesn't prevent it doing so which lets the two sides unmatch. This leaves the zipper mechanism on one side of the pocket, So you can't close the pocket anymore. Maybe not a big deal for some but I use it for work. I need the packets to close.

This is the third sweater fleece that I have purchased over the years. I have loved the two previous jackets but this one is a disappointment. The fit is not the same as in the past with very tight arms making it difficult to get the jacket on and off. I purchased the same size as my previous jacket (M).

Great jacket but the white pocket linings were just so cheap and distracting.

I received this jacket last week and wore it recently while going for a walk. The day was mild but breezy. I was wearing a short sleeve shirt under the jacket and sadly I could feel the wind through the sleeves of the jacket. This was unexpected, as even my fleece quarter zip shirts offer more protection than this. Fortunately, I ordered a size up so that I could layer on more frigid days, but was hoping to use it as a stand alone on chilly days. Would not buy again as I was expecting more warmth for the price.
