Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Quilted Full Zip Sweatshirt

Weight, size, color all just right. Warm for cold New England. But I object to L.L.Bean's practice of applying a visible logo. It's immediately more informal, less appropriate for dressing up a little.

I got the quarter zip version of this sweatshirt two years ago and I love it. I get more compliments on this sweatshirt. It is so soft, washes well and looks great. The full zip is nice, but it seems the fabric isn't such good quality. It is a bit stiff, smells slightly and is a little puckery on the shoulders. Also, I had to return the first one I got as the website defaulted to a petite. My fault that I didn't notice, but nonetheless, didn't expect a petite default. Customer service for my return was excellent as all my LLBean experiences have been.

On the plus side, it's gorgeous. I got the cream - love the color, love that the logo is a subtle one on the hem, and love the way it fits. My hesitation is I am not sure how much I will wear it. it is too warm for a sweatshirt, and while it would make a nice light jacket, it lacks secure pockets - a feature I look for (and always find - with LLBean). It also rubs a bit against my jaw so I worry a little about make-up rubbing off on it. Probably if I had chosen a more practical color...I might be able to wear it more... but, did I mention that it's gorgeous?

This jacket is great cuddly fabric and finished very nicely. The sleeves are extremely long, tall women should be pleased, but I had to take off over 3". By the chart, I was right between L and XL, but the L was too tight. The XL is a little loose, and I don't mind that, but it is a little tight around my bicep in this large size, which seems disproportionate. So I'd say it is true to fit except for the tight upper arm!

I LOVE a cotton sweatshirt, especially one that zips up. But as the zipper tape will commonly shrink, I handwashed this one in cold water, no dryer. It still no longer lies flat around the zipper area. It was beautiful before washing, nice thick fabric, just roomy enough. The deep admiral blue is beautiful! (picture color not accurate - taken in dim light) I urge LL Bean to have zippers preshrunk, or use part polyester in zipper tape. No other way to keep it from looking like a much cheaper jacket once it's washed.

sharp looks, beautiful color. slightly tight across bust, warm and comfortable

I just received this sweatshirt. While I like the styling, it is not as warm as it appears from the photo. I expected the quilted body to be more substantial. I will stick with the Ultrasoft Sweats French Terry Full-Zip Mockneck Jacket for my go-to navy sweatshirt.

This sweatshirt is very soft, well-made, and not snug on me. I'm 105 lbs but with broad shoulders so I sometimes size up. There was no need with this sweatshirt; plenty of room in the shoulders and all over. I like the quilted look. The only thing that concerns me is that the quilted fabric stretches vertically instead of horizontally, so I don't know how long it will last before looking stretched out. To be on the safe side I'm going to store it in a drawer rather than on a hanger.

I ordered the jacket a size up and happy I did - the jacket runs small - I ordered a XL - it fits like a Large! The sleeves are lined - you can where on a warmer winter day! I bought this for the Fall

I purchased an XL because the sleeves in the L were way too tight for my taste. It's big on me otherwise but I just where it around the house. It Feels great, very comfortable, cozy and does block some wind when I go for a walk. If Bean could just put the XL sleeves on a L, I'd be buying another one in a L. Need more Navy sweaters!

Wish this was offered in the charcoal color like the 1/4 zip pullover in the same style. Charcoal is a great versatile color and the heathered pattern is nice. I have the 1/4 zip pullover and would love a full zip for the spring. Sleeves run a little tight in this style but it can still be layered with a short-sleeved shirt. Very soft and an overall "dressier" sweatshirt.

I felt it ran alittle small as compared to some of my other large LL Bean jackets. I like to the quilted pattern and it is a very nice weight. I did contemplate exchanging it for an XL, but it would then be too big.

I ordered a size small and had to return it as the sweatshirt was really long for me. I reordered in a Petite and it fits well. It is really warm and stylish.

Good quality, true fit, but the color was way different from the picture.

I was so happy with this jacket until I started loosing stuff. Unfortunately the pocket's design is faulty. My ProMax phone constantly falling out and keep loosing my glasses, headphones etc Please fix this problem because otherwise its a great jacket.

Love the jacket but zipper gets serious caught. Had to resew the interior of jacket to make it work.

Love the sweatshirt. . I would have given it 5 stars but the zipper pull was broken/ missing .

Soft enough, but nothing special. I bought the navy, and it already looked all worn out and faded.

The sweatshirt is ok- not a great option to replace my ultrasoft sweatshirts. Unfortunately ultra soft sweats are no longer available. It is heavier and bulkier - I guess better for colder days.

I loved the color but felt I would not get enough use out of it for the money so I returned it. It felt very soft & comfy!!!

Black is not true black, and don't like the band at bottommakes it okay for going to gym or taking a walk but not dressy enough for shopping, lunch, etc

This is the best sweatshirt, and it was so perfect in the tall sizing! I have it in several colors, and I was hoping to add more, especially black. Please bring back tall! LLBean shirts are all too short for average or tall women, and so this tall sizing is very important. If you do discontinue tall tops, I recommend lengthening all of your shirts in general to accommodate a more modern fit.

Good jacket but I should have ordered the medium. Still, it is useful so I will keep it.Red

Well made jacket and beautiful stitching. Ran a little long for my height.

I love this sweatshirt! It's soft, comfortable and just the right weight for between seasons.
