Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Quilted Full Zip Sweatshirt

This is the second piece of Bean outerwear I'm returning in as many months. The sleeves are 2" too long. I really like Bean's women's clothing but am tired of the inconvenience of returning items because many of them do not fit petite proportions.

I received this sweatshirt yesterday and discovered that the zipper on one side was sewn too close to the fabric, so it gets stuck every time you try to zip it up or down and the fabric immediately ripped. I contacted customer service, and of course, they are now out of the color that I wanted, so are unable to remedy the situation. This is the second defective product that I've received in the last 2 months. Very disappointed in LLBean's current standards for their products.

I bought this last spring and after wearing it about 10 or 12 times, the fabric near the sides of the zipper started wearing out and leaving black holes (this was before early summer). This is so different from the high quality I've had with other LL Bean products. Unfortunately, it got relegated as one of my dirty work clothes. A year later, the fabric has disentigrated all along the bottom seam just above the bottom elastic.

Everything I have ordered from L. L. Bean has been a 2X, pants, tops, etc. Everything fit perfect. I ordered a 2X in this jacket and I can't even get it zipped up. So disappointing. Yes, I know I can exchange it but it's a big inconvenience. Loved the color though.

Runs on the smaller side than my usual size. Arms to tight.

I am so disappointed in the quality of the very thin fabric on this jacket. Also, I feel I was sent a jacket that was worn, washed and returned as the jacket was wrinkled and the zipper was puckered. I cannot believe LLBean would mail an item in this poor condition to a customer who has ordered from them for years.

Second time I wore it the zipper got caught and it made a hole in the fabric. Very disappointing

Material is not an LLBEAN quality that im used to. The zipper ripped the inside seam the 1st time I wore it. VERY upset as this was very expensive.

Nice weight and the turquoise is a beautiful color but the zipper is terrible quality. It was hard to zip the very first time and then got stuck, not on the fabric, it just wouldn't move. I thought my husband was going to have to cut me out of this jacket!

Liked the fabric, color and fit but the zipper was faulty at the bottom connector so I returned. A credit was quickly issued with no deduction for return shipping. Thanks L L Bean.

I've bought LL Bean sweatshirts for years and they were always sized consistently. I had to get a larger size in this style to get sleeves long enough. It was boxy and too big in the body, but I wore it anyway because I needed a navy jacket. I bought two more six months ago in cream and lavender. I noticed the navy one had worn through along the zipper seams. Then, I noticed holes in the two new ones. I'm returning for a full refund.

The zipper is very hard to get started. Usually LLBean product zippers all well easy to use and durable, so I was surprised. I sent it back.

The band on the bottom was too wide and very stretched out! Too bad because the sweatshirt design was very nice.

Returned. The metal zipper only has a fabric facing on one side, leaving the unfaced side to be very irritating to my neck even when the zipper itself is open. I'm very disappointed, not up to LL Bean's usual standards of quality, and I'm still in search of a sweatshirt fabric cardigan to replace an old one that has given up the ghost.

This sweatshirt shed terribly. Left lint on my other clothes even after washing. I returned it for a refund.

I liked the color and the fit was ok too, but the cuffs and the band around the bottom just didn't correspond with the material of the jacket. The cuffs and bottom band were very coarse and unforgiving, not a good match. I love L.L. Bean products and I will always be one of their loyal customers.

While this jacket might be cute, the zipper is almost non-functional. Every time I unzip it get stuck 3/4 of the way down. It's a huge struggle and takes a lot of finagling to get it undone. It's a terrible disappointment for the price.

Wear sweatshirt indoors and outdoors, just any wear and every wear. " Sooo, Glad I bought it "

Purchased the heather gray and royal blue colors of this quilted sweatshirt in size XL and LOVED them! Nice soft fabric, washed with just a tiny bit of shrinkage. Kangaroo pocket is good as a hands warmer or to hold a tissue. These two carried labels stating they were made in Vietnam. Loved them so much I ordered this one in the slate blue color. What a disappointment! The sizing was much smaller in this XL than the others I ordered. The body fit was narrow and the sleeves were much longer and narrower. Its' label stated that it was made in Sri Lanka. Since it did not fit at all like the other two from Vietnam, I returned it to LL Bean. I wish the customer service reps at LL Bean could, with accuracy, tell a customer where an item being ordered was made.

Did not like the pockets or fit. Refund after returning taking very long.

It was a nice product. However, it was too long and large all over. I was very disappointed. I ordered a small and it felt like a medium. I used to buy Bean for true sizing. I would never be warm in this it was so big.

Not a good fit and the sleeves were too short. Nice looking jacket but too big at the bottom.

While a long time fan of LLBean's quality garments, I have to say I was devastated to find that their quality no longer rules. I've purchased their zip up sweatshirts in the past and they lasted for years. This one- I was lucky to get 1 year out of it. Unless you treat it gently and wear it unfrequently, it may last you a while, but if you are like me and need something more rugged, forgetaboutit.

I gave it one star only because the first one I received did not lay flat at the bottom binding. There seemed to be extra material. I returned it; then decided to try another. The second one was much better. Love the jacket except for the defect. Read the other reviews and other people had the same issue. Give it a shot, it is worth the effort. I am sure that I will get a lot of use out of it.

I have wanted to purchase one of these jackets for awhile and was really excited to see it offered in lavender. I ordered in May, but because it was back ordered, didn't receive the jacket until late August. I wore it today and will be returning it. Since it is a zip front I assumed it would be sized to allow a shirt to be worn underneath. The armholes were too small and it was so tight across the back that I could barely lift my arms. I have purchased several other jackets from LL Bean in the same size and never had a problem. For the price of this jacket I was extremely disappointed in the sizing/quality. Especially after waiting several months for it to come on back order.
