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

I bought the bright Sapphire last year and loved it! I got so many complements in the color. I really like all the pockets, two outside hip length zippered, one zippered on the arm and the 2 bonus inside the coat "unofficial" pockets. I use them for storing phone, mittens, hat etc. I wear a turtleneck under the fleece during colder months, in the spring and fall the v neck tee works great for layering. I like this jacket so much I bought all the colors except the sailcloth. My favorite colors are the bright Sapphire and the evening blue. Black turtleneck looks crisp under these coats. I wish there was a purple sunset color available that I could wear as a matching underlayer for my Ultralight 850 Down Jacket. I know other customers didn't like the Ll bean logo. I don't like the logo either as I think jacket looks dressier without it. I simply take a seam ripper and carefully remove them. It isn't noticeable if you don't before washing. I would like Ll Bean to leave the label off future versions. The jacket washes up nice and holds up well! Thank you Ll Bean.

I have seen similar sweater fleece before, but I never was thrilled with the colors offered. I decided to try this jacket in Evening Blue. What a pretty shade or I should say shades of blue. This sweater/jacket is comfortable and warm to wear. Since I often get cold (even in the house) I am extremely happy to own this sweater fleece. There may be a Bright Sapphire color added in my future!

Bought my first one last year and liked it so much, I bought another one this year! In addition to the obvious uses as a warm layer inside a cool house, and as a transitional outdoor jacket, I also find it a versatile travel piece, because it serves as a robe-type layer when visiting. One less garment to pack. For my satisfaction, I have 2 comments. It would be more comfortable if the inside piece of collar were made of softer fabric. Secondly, my original purchase has shown a lot of pilling with use. Neither of these comments has prevented me from frequently using these pieces.

I purchased this same jacket last year (2017-2018) and I LOVE IT; however, when I went to purchase it this year (2018-2019), it has the LLBean logo on it. I am able to wear the jacket I purchased last year for either casual/sporty or dress; however, with the logo on it, it cannot be worn for dressier occasions. I do not mind the logo on sportswear but not on this particular jacket. Please bring it back without the logo.

This jacket is not fleece, and I love that. It is perfect to wear in Spring and Fall in the mountains of NC. Love the fit as it is tapered at the waist and actually shows my figure.

I'm sorry I cannot give more information. This was purchased for my daughter as a Christmas present. She did try it on and it fit well but I do not know her measurements in order to answer the other questions.

This sweater jacket is perfect in every way: fit, warmth, and style!

Very pleased with this purchase - altho difficult to layer over long sleeves it keeps me warm and cozy. Wish they still had the lighter weight fleece as have several of those an their my "go to" layer. Kind of pricey so not sure if I would go for another color but love this one.

Yesterday, when I was outside, it was 35 degrees, breezy with wind gusts. In part, I was wearing a cotton t-shirt, Bean's Scotch Plaid Shirt, and the sweater fleece. The trunk of my body stayed warm, even with the wind gusts. The fleece did provide a wind block, especially to my trunk. At times, I did feel the cold/wind through the sleeves during gusts. I was pleasantly surprised how warm I stayed and no coat was needed!

I have worn this every day since I got it. It's cozy and comfortable and I love the zipper pockets, especially the one on the arm. My vehicle has a smart key so I just leave it in that arm pocket. Highly recommend.

The jacket is very nice looking, fits perfect, and very comfortable. I gave 2 for gifts this last Christmas and the recipients loved the jackets and colors as well.

Great ....very warm . Fits small, so go up a size.

I purchased this sweater fleece because I already had one I loved and wanted another color. While I am not a large person at 5'3" and 118 pounds more or less, I prefer loosely fitting clothing. For me, this is a warm and attractive layer atop a cotton turtleneck (and because of the full zip I can shed the jacket easily if necessary without compromising the minimal "hairstyle" I currently sport). Based on compliments I've received (and my choice to upsize), I think this sweater fleece flattering to those of us who have a little more around the waistline than we'd like.

When I received my jacket the first thing I looked for was the "Logo". There were several complaints about it being bright and obvious. First, I want to say that I have always felt good wearing the LLBean logo. I think the logo on this jacket is tiny and I was surprised anyone would even mention it. The only thing I would change is putting a lining in the sleeves. The sleeves seem to cling to every shirt I wear. Other than that I love it, want to order another in a different color.

This sweater is very comfortable and a nice weight. I have worn it with a down vest and long sleeved thermal shirt under it in 30 degree weather and been sufficiently warm. Nice fit and color. Would definitely buy again.

Love the color! The fit is flattering for a zip-up. I would highly recommend to anyone considering this jacket.

Fit as well as any good sweater should, wife is hard to fit and she says it is warmer than she expected it would be ,which is good.

I love the color...I have been eyeing this since last year. Very warm and it is my go to jacket!

great jacket for fall hikes !

I have owned many fleece garments over the years and this one is my absolute favorite! Last year I bought one in pewter and I wore it so often, I bought another in navy. I also purchased one for my daughter-in-law. It is perfect for inside and out. I am often chilly in the house during the winter and wearing this keeps me from bumping up the heat. The cardigan style makes it more versatile in terms of temperature comfort level. The pockets are perfect. I have one concern about the durability of the binding. It is still in great shape after one year but it looks like it may not last as long as the rest of the garment. We'll see. Regardless, I recommend this with enthusiasm!

I got this item as a present for my partner (in truth she picket it out). She is reasonably fussy about clothing - and she really likes this.

Loved the color, it's warm and very comfortable .

These are the warmest sweaters I own. I have 4 in different colors. You can wear these under a lighter weight coat and be perfectly warm.

I purchased this sweater jacket after trying several other brands because it fit best through my shoulder/arm area. The sleeves are a perfect length, hitting the major thumb joint. The overall length is great, hitting the bottom of my 'cheeks'. Nice and soft inside and out, including inside the pockets! Haven't washed it yet, but expect it to come out looking good. Like another reviewer, I carefully removed the label from the chest. It was a bit to 'in your face' and it's color clashed with my jacket. I wear this a lot, inside and out.

Daughter selected item. Loved it.
