Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Quilted Sweatshirt 1/4 Zip Pullover Long Sleeve

I love this sweatshirt and own 2 of them- navy and white. However, in spite of washing them inside out and hanging to dry or drying at "low", they both have developed small but discernible holes in the quilting part. Disappointing. Not good to wear anywhere at this point except the backyard.

Love the color and the quality but fits a little too snug through the hips. Usually size L in LLBean fits me perfect. A little disappointed.

I normally wear a XL Tall and it fits perfectly. The normal XL, is just a little too short in waist and arms. I purchased the cream color and it is definitely a pale YELLOW. I still really like the shirt and that may be because I like the fit and style. I will keep this, just not a huge fan of the color. However, I just took a picture and it pictures well!!

I have this pullover in three colors and love it. However, the light grey heather has developed mystery holes in the fabric. I wash these inside out on delicate cycle and hang them to dry so it's not from poor laundering. I haven't had this problem with the other two colors so it must be a fabric quality issue. I will be returning the light grey heather because for the price this should never happen. See attached photo.

I received this sweatshirt as a gift in December 2019. It was great for the first few months, but it has since disintegrated and has been relegated to the "ripped sweatpants/shirt pile." The grey fabric has ripped and practically melted away along all the seams: around the front pocket, collar, and zipper. Please note this was not a sweatshirt worn/used around anything that would have snagged it. This happened after a few months of wearing it. I am very disappointed.

Purchased a large--runs somewhat small--wish I would have gotten extra large. Does not quite meet the usual high quality of LL Bean products.

The material was soft and comfortable, color, "Ocean Teal", is one of my favorites. I ordered Petite Large, but the sleeves were a little too long. My main problem was the neck came up to the bottom of my chin, which I found very uncomfortable. I have a short neck, which often is a problem with stand-up collars. It would've been a very comfortable shirt otherwise. Too bad it didn't have a crew neck. I had to send it back.

My daughter has two of these, and I love the way they look on her (size XS). BUT I'm finding your sizing inconsistent for me. I've moved from Misses Med ( which was way too large ) to Petite Med, but still find the sleeves almost 6" too long. Length of the sweatshirt is also too long and loose. Going to a Petite S makes it too tight in the bust.

The style was too boxy of a fit and too large for my usual arm length.

I absolutely love the look of this sweater. I have a very long torso so was very excited to see this come in Tall. I bought it in gray and admiral blue. I, unfortunately, wore both before washing. I followed the care instructions and they shrank significantly. These now fit more like "regular" length shirts fit on my long torso. I love the fact that LL Bean has Tall tops, but this sweater just shrank too much after washing.

I like the shirt/jacket, but quickly found that it does not hold up well. After just a few wearing and one washing, the outer fabric snagged and formed little holes. The fabric itself is very thin and snags easily. I would have been better off with a fleece pullover that I know will last and look good for a long time.

I received this quilted pullover in gray as a Christmas gift. It is a comfortable, warm and stylish casual sweatshirt. I have worn it only several times and have washed it twice according to the care instructions and already, the fabric of the front quilting where it meets towards the underarm has already torn apart. I don't usually expect this out of LLBean craftmanship so it is pretty disappointing.

Great quality and nice fabric but it's a bit stiff and boxy

I love everything about this sweatshirt except the waistband. It's entirely too big, making it look sloppy and unfitted. Looks like I've had it for years and it has stretched out. At the price I expected better. Shouldn't have kept it but too late now. It will have to be an expensive "around the house" shirt.

I was very impressed by the overall quality of this sweatshirt. However, the fit is a bit strange. The shoulders were on the narrow side especially for a medium. The problem I had was the bottom band...it was just too full and disproportionate to shoulders. Unfortunately it will be returned.

Very nicely constructed but the hem was not stretchy and so it just hanged loosely. I returned it.

Love the shirt but it shrinks so a size larger might be better and if you plan on wearing a shirt under it you need a size larger.

Was looking forward to getting this however it was so wrinkled when it came. i have washed it 4 times and each time I dry it on a higher setting. I have dried it from Low to Max and it still looks like I've slept in it. i had ordered it in Spring. the color was Skylight. So disappointed, anything I've ordered I always liked. Sorry this is late but due to lockdown wasn't in hurry to get the wrinkles out. is there anything else to do to get them out?

I have two of these from 2 years ago and love them. I wear them all winter, wash cold, and line dry. They are holding up well, and fit perfectly. This year, I bought the cream in the same size, PL, and the collar is a half inch higher than before, making it too high for me to comfortably wear. Also, while it still fit, it hung awkwardly, looking as if I'd already washed it several times. I love the color, and the style, but am returning this one.

Loved the fit. Until I washed it. Now the sleeves are too short. Followed washing instructions, cold water and low dry. Still shrank up considerably. I'll keep it though because it fits like most things fit me now so I guess I'm used to it.

The sweatshirt is well-made and cozy, but I was super, super disappointed that it shrunk SO MUCH. I bought according to the size chart, and washed per instructions. However, at 5'1, the petite is almost too short to wear now! Really bummed. Wish LL Bean would be clear about fabrics and shrinking.

Love the style and fit of the other one I purchased. Saw the mountain red online, looked bright red, ordered and it is burgundy. Love the style but very disappointed in color. Returned for refund.

I saw this sweatshirt advertised on Instagram for months and finally decided to buy it. I normally don't buy LL Bean clothing for myself or my husband because I think the sizing is too big/not slim enough, but the sweatshirt looks so cute on the model. She must be wearing a tailored XS because this is absolutely not how it looks in real life. The quilting looks cheap in person, not thick and more luxurious like it does in the photo. I bought it in cream, so maybe the lighter color accentuates the lack in quality, but I just wouldn't go by the photos. I'm planning on keeping the sweatshirt because it's a pain to return things these days, but it just didn't meet my expectations. If you're on the fence about this sweatshirt, I would not recommend it.

I bought the light grey heather version of this sweatshirt last year, and I ABSOLUTLEY loved it. I wore it 2x a week. Its cozy and comfortable, but still dressy enough for my office setting. But not quite one season into owning it and it has started ripping along the quilted stitching and along the pocket. It's now too shabby for me to wear - so I will be discarding it. I work in an office, and in no way am I hard on my clothing. I followed washing and drying procedures from the instructions. I am somewhat disappointed. That being said, I did truly love this shirt; I am planning on reinvesting in this sweat shirt in another color, and I am hopeful that the color I choose will be more durable. (although the Olive Green color doesn't seem to be reviewing well, either)

I am very disappointed in the quilted sweatshirt's fit; It runs very large. When placing my order, over the phone, the advice I received regarding the fit guided me to select a large...but the information was not accurate. I should have ordered a medium. Even the catalog describes the sweatshirt as "slightly fitted;" not true. If it were not for the current CDC guidelines, I would have returned the order: 010275856289...but a trip to the post office is not wise, at this time. I would very much appreciate this item in a medium; I have no use for it, in a large.
