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

Zipper is small and plastic and I couldn't make it zip. Loved the fit, color, and material.

Don't like the white lining in the pockets. Makes it look cheap. Did not realize this when I ordered. I have other jackets like this and they do NOT have white lining in the pockets.

Thought material was way too thin and wouldn't be warm so I returned it .

I can wear a small or extra small in LL bean clothing. Bought this in a small. It not only fit very tight across the chest, but was a full 2 inches short in the sleeves. LlBean, you need to standardize your sizes! I'm 5'6" and 125 lbs and not large chested.

Zipper pocket is broken on jacket, love the color and feel

Bought jackets and zipper to pocket broke. Second jacket same thing. Then I read all the reviews with same issue. Made me really wonder why LL Bean continues to sell defective item. I have less confidence in the brand.

The fit was very slim, the fabric cheap looking and the white pocket lining showed when the pocket was unzipped. I returned it.

I bought this jacket at an outlet store in Maine. The zipper on the right picket broke after wearing it the second time. The jacket is nice, but with the pockets always hanging open , not so nice.

Stylish Jacket, and nicely warm. More fitted than I like, though not a deal breaker. BUT after wearing just a handful of times, the pocket zipper broke and I had to return. Did not get another one.

Zippers always appear to be a poor quality. I have some other little jackets that I ordered from you and they're like difficult to zip up because the zipper is really not that great. Have to think twice about ordering anything like that from you again.

I'm disappointed that this is not as warm as one I bought previously. And the pocket liner is very light gray, which means that it shows when the jacket, or pockets, are unzipped. That detracts from the look of the blue jacket. I won't buy one again.

I liked this sweater/fleece but the first time I wore it and unzipped the pocket, the zipper broke.

not as high quality, could have been warmer and cozier

I am so sad rating this fleece jacket so low that I love, aside from the broken pocket zippers. I now see several other reviews of this same issue and wonder why LL Bean has not fixed this issue that would be very easy to fix. Over a quarter of my wardrobe is from LL Bean. Many items are decades old going back to the 1980s and are so loved. I ordered this navy fleece jacket after eyeing it for a while. First cold day yesterday so I wore it, loved it, and knew it would become another loved LL Bean garment. Not so, I will be returning it and do not want a replacement. Reading these reviews people have reported the same issue has happened with replacements. So what's the problem you ask? The pocketzippers do not have a bottom 'zipper stop' on them. Once you unzip, and put your hands in the pockets, the zipper comes off the zipper end and you can no longer zip it back up. Please LL Bean, look into this and fix it so others do not run into it.

The first time I bought this jacket, I really loved it. However, early on the zipper on one of the pockets broke. Thinking it was a fluke, I bought a second jacket two weeks ago before a hiking trip. Third time I wore it, the zipper on one of the pockets broke again. Disappointed in LL Bean quality, that I normally trust.

I will return this sweater ASAP. I like the color and the style. But I do not like the fabric. It is not soft enough.

I loved this fleece and was so happy to receive it for Christmas. Unfortunately the left pocket zipper broke within a month of light wearing. I exchanged it for another and now the left pocket zipper broke again barely 2 months later. I've barely worn this one so I am very disappointed to have this happen again. I usually love LLBean quality but this is sub par. It's a shame because it's an otherwise nice jacket.

I bought one when they first came out and it started pilling badly right away. Now it is so full of little nubbles that I don't like wearing it.

I purchased this jacket in January of 2022, went to put it on a week ago and the pocket zipper broke!! LL Bean has new return / replacement policy of 1 year, of course it broke just after that expiration date! The fabric of this jacket is pilling beyond belief!! For what I paid for this jacket I expected to have it for a very long time, not a year! I wouldn't recommend it for purchase, an expensive piece poor quality.

I bought this in April 2022, and it's now February 2023, and the jacket is full of cloth balls. As if I had worn it every day. Of course I haven't. But I am disappointed on the quality. I did like the color and all ese on the jacket. Too bad it looks worn out and old within months.

I loved this jacket which I received in 12/2022 but the zipper is broken already on the pockets. I would love to order another as liked overall fit and appearance but fear will have zipper problems on new one, as I have noted multiple complaints from customers about zipper. I am returning.

I really liked this jacket. Then one day zipper broke it is with one year of purchase. I called customer service to see if I could exchange it. Marie made it sound as though someone would have to make a decision if it truly was defective. I asked if they wouldn't exchange it would I at least get my jacket back. She said to make sure and give them a good phone number and someone would call me in regards to that. I decided to not return the jacket I am in tears I probably will spend my bean bucks and say good bye to one of my favorite stores.

Very disappointing. This is listed as a jacket. It is more like a cheap fleece like sweater. I gave it one star because the color is beautiful. Other than that the quality is a disappointment for $99.00 it is not worth half that. The inside looks unfinished. There are 2 large side pockets that have some cheap bright white fabric sewn in to make them. Looks like someone cut up an old white sheet to make the pockets. So if the front of jacket is left open it flops back and looks as if a child attempted to make the side pockets with scrap sheet fabric in the house. Why didn't they use the same fabric to make the inside of the pockets? This"jacket" is not worth the price.It is also cut small. I always take a medium in LLBean coats. This is too tight in size medium.

I purchased this jacket for indoor use, it is too heavy for me so I returned it 2 weeks ago waiting for a credit to my credit card.

The arctic blue color is beautiful! The interior pockets are made with white lining, so if the pockets are unzipped or the jacket is not zipped up, the white color spoils the look of the whole outfit. My other jackets in the same style have black liners, and doesn't interfere with the overall look.
