Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Quilted Full Zip Sweatshirt

I loved this sweatshirt until I had to exchange it after only a couple of months because it was showing wear. The second one did the same thing, so I will not be ordering another.

Its way too big (I'm normally a size large, but this felt at least 2 sizes too big) and the arms/sleeves were crazy short. This was in the other reviews I saw online- unfortunately I only looked them up post-purchase. Overall, not the quality I would have expected from LL Bean. This felt like something I would have bought at a random souvenir shop if I desperately needed a sweatshirt and there were no other options.

Wanted to like this but 2 issues. One, the inside panels on the burgundy are white and it makes it look like it was pieced together from scraps. The other issue is after a few washes, the color has started to fade, especially on the seams and cuffs. The product looked very elegant in picture but the white panels were a disappointment. And for the price, expected higher quality fabric that wouldnt have faded after a few washes. Very disappointed.

The garment is well-made but VERY long for a regular size, as it came to below my buttocks and the sleeves were also very long. (I'm 5'5".) Because the petite is only two inches shorter, I did not ask for a replacement. If the measurements were easily available, I would have known not to order this.

I really wanted to like this jacket, but the body was too long in a medium petite (my usual size). The ribbed band at the bottom was below my hips and stuck out all the way around. It was weird. Sleeve length and fit everywhere else was fine. I couldn't have gone down a size. In addition, the item had been worn and probably washed and dried. It reeked of some kind of scent. Why it was resold is beyond me. The woman who who helped me at the store could smell it through her mask.

I really wanted this to fit but it was too boxy and unflattering. Had to return

I liked this garment until I washed it. Despite washing in cold water on the gentle cycle, the color (dark blue) faded enough to notice. Considering that this "sweatshirt" costs $80 plus, I just can't recommend it.

This sweatshirt is a beautiful color and fit well through shoulders, sleeves and body. However, the binding at the bottom flares out a bit to flatter a curvy shape. I am an apple shaped woman with slim hips. This was very unflattering on me. Sadly, I returned this item.

All three of the ones I've had for c. a year have worn through the quilting on the front next to the zipper. See photos below. Never again!

I love the fit and look of this sweatshirt, but after only 2-3 washings there are small holes in the front quilted area. This sweatshirt is very comfortable and looks very nice, but it doesn't hold up. I bought both full zip and quarter zip and had the same problem on both. Not up to LL Bean standards. I would buy again if the fabric was improved.

I received this as a gift a year ago. I love the color, weight, and fit of this jacket but it is not reflective of LL Bean's typical standard of quality. Jackets with zippers are washed inside out and typically spared from the dryer. Within months, the seams on this jacket and the front quilted placket began to give out. I couldn't return it since it was a gift, but wanted to tell other shoppers that it won't last long!

I ordered this 8-14-24. Within a year of purchase, the front seams on either side of the zipper had abraded, showing a bright green layer under the super thin outer quilted cotton layer. Very disappointed! This sweatshirt didn't receive any unusual wear. I'm writing this review now because I'm finally looking to replace this sweatshirt, and I thought LL Bean should know about this defective product.

It is a good buying process, but the number of emails requesting surveys afterwards are ridiculous. Just about makes you want to shop someplace with Land's End so you do not have to deal with the barrage. Seriously, just stop already!!!!

I have purchases multiple different colors of the same jacket. I love the jacket but it continues to get tiny holes near the zipper or on either side of the zipper. Tiny holes in the middle of the fabric. I saw this jacket on ebay and if you look closely the same tiny holes. I am shocked more people haven't complained about this problem.

89 bucks and they don't honor a lousy 10$. I am supposed to get

I bought this in August, but I live in North Carolina, so I only started wearing it in October or so. I like the jacket, but it really does pill a lot! I would like to return it for something else.

Very disappointed you don't have the women's quilted full-zip sweatshirt in tall sizes this year (2025-2026).

I bought two of these sweatshirts and unfortunately after only a few wearings the front panels developed holes, black holes. Very unsightly. Huge waste of money. Think some compensation is in order.

I bought this jacket 10/22/2024 and have worn it maybe 10-15 times since it faded so badly after the first few washes ( delicate and tumble low) . I did not cause the fading since one of the picture I included is of a BR polo that retained its dark navy blue color that I washed the same way. I recently discovered tear in the jacket today . No idea how this happened since I rarely wear this jacket and it has not caught on anything . LL Bean used to be great but they are clearing using low quality manufacturing to make their clothes . Do not buy!

Used to love this sweatshirt. But the sleeves and side panels are 51% polyester and they PILL HORRIBLY after wearing several times. Bad quality.

My hubs bought me two of them....didn't even come out of the shipping bag before I was taping it up to return. Whoever thought that a woman would want a knit top with quilting that will rip in that hideous dirty pink color needs to get another job. I don't know how it fit since I never removed it from the bag....

After looking for a full-zip sweatshirt that did not have a hood, I was excited to find the L.L.Bean Quilted Full-Zip Sweatshirt. You can imagine my surprise and disappointment when, after only 6 weeks of wear, the underarms pilled. I would not recommend this sweatshirt.

Unfortunately this garment was manufactured in Asia and has a strong chemical smell! This is a problem with a lot of garments made in Asian countries.

I thought I had found the perfect full zip sweatshirts, classy and L.L. Bean quality. I bought three different colors: navy, plum, and rustic purple. All three were worn regularly and washed maybe twice, on delicate, with the zippers closed, and hung to dry. Yet all three of them had obvious holes in the front quilting after only two months. The purple one had horrible pilling under both arms. I couldn't believe the disparity between the price and the quality. I've never had clothes that started out so nice fall apart so fast. Makes me hesitate to buy anything else from L.L. Bean, unfortunately.

I have been considering getting this jacket for some time and finally took the leap. However, I am not happy that the sale price was decreased by $20 right after receiving it!
