Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Bean's Sweater Fleece Long Vest

Great fit, perfect weight. Wish the logo wasn't on the front as it does take away from the overall look. Would give this a 5 star rating if the logo wasn't there!

I Love The Vest,,,,,but the zipper doesn't zip. It did once and never again. I've ordered another and will send the defective one back, I'M 5'2 110 pounds and this piece will be warm and good looking but hate the LLB advert patch on the front. If they must, a small patch near the bottom

Long vest but not full coverage long. Like the vest, good fit, quality, color, good pockets. I expected a longer vest/dress to wear with leggings but this was more long hip length (I'm 5ft5 and got a Sm). Keeping it, just wearing it differently than planned. Also wish the zipper worked both up and down so that it didn't bunch when sitting.

Sweater fleece is the way to go if you want to take a break from wool. The vest always serves as a good layer that also frees up arm movement, and you've got pockets! The style covers the hips, which is a plus for my maturing body shape.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter who is a nurse, and she wanted one to wear at work in the hospital. Since the description said "long" I bought her a petite because she's 5'5" so kind of in between petite and regular. Ultimately, it was still too long for her preference so I returned it. Otherwise, it was great!

I really love the design and color of this vest, even the LLBean patch is beautiful. However, I'm finding that after only a few wears, the fabric is tending to pill! This is very annoying and surprising coming from LLBean. I hope it doesn't get worse.

Nice cozy vest that fits well. I would have less of a stand up collar or one that folds down when not under a coat. My neck is fairly long but the collar is a little bothersome.

Runs large, could have got a medium. I would return it for another size but Ll Bean charges for returns. My bad for trying out a new product.

Great craftsmanship! Warm. It is long, which is nice to cover the butt. The cut is fuller at the bottom. I would have liked it a bit more streamlined, but it still works to keep you warm.

I love this vest. Comfy, warm, the green works with my colors, well made. I expect to get many years of wear from this.

Love the color (shadow green). Fit is flattering. I like that it's long enough to cover my backside. One thing that should be changed: it should have a two-way zipper, so that it could be zipped up from the bottom to make more room at the hem when sitting down - with that it would be 5 stars.

This vest stands out due to its extra length. It covers your butt making it very warm and cozy. Zippered pockets are great. I'm 5' 5" 132 lbs with a thick waist. The medium allows layering and good movement for me. I think it's 'middle-road' between boxy and form-fitted. The muted green color goes with many other colors. I used a seam-ripper to carefully remove the LL Bean label because I didn't want that "blinking' from my chest. After one washing you can't tell it was ever there. I took one star away bc I think I see the beginnings of some pilling after only washing it twice and hanging to dry after a couple minutes fluffing in the dryer.

This is a great vest for inside. It's made from quality fabric and construction. It is long and it could be improved by adding a two way zipper.

This is my second sweater vest because I like the first one so much. The only small flaw with the new one is that the zipper doesn't always engage the first time. Sometimes it takes 2-3 tries. But this is most likely only a problem on an individual vest and not a systemic issue as I don't have the problem on my other vest. Everything else about it is wonderful - warm, true to size and stylish.

Nice materials and feels good wearing in general. One thing I have to get used to is how the top part sits around my neck. It doesn't hug my shoulders/neck area as much as other vests before. Fit is fine and seems true to size, though.

Great vest that fits really well except for the length, which for my size is a bit too long. The vest looks nice, washes well and is warm.

Very nice but very big! I have several but this years is either mismarked or just resized. I returned it.

Really nice quality. Unfortunately ran big and was returned

I bought it for a friend, size PS. She loves the color and says it fits well. I didn't try it on myself since I'm a PL, so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I like zip pockets on all of my Bean outerwear, and so does she. She didn't model it for me, so I can't say how it really looks on her. We both appreciate Bean having a petite section. More colors, more styles are welcome!

I do like this vest, however, I can't say much for whoever designed the fabric. I had a iron accidentally touch the pocket and it melted like plastic. I always hated the pocket anyway so removed it. But why would you use fabric like that?

I bought this vest to wear around the house as an extra layer of warmth. I got a size small so I could wear it over a sweatshirt, but it is a little big in the tummy area, so I should've gotten an extra small. I did not like the look of the front zipper pocket and that is why I gave it a four star review. I did end up removing that front pocket with scissors without damaging the vest. I do like the deep side pockets on it though and the extra warmth is great!

Nice color but the fit is a bit snug around my middle. Didn't want a larger size because thinking it would be too big. I still wear it-it's comfy

Nice vest; note that even in the petite the back is very long, longer than I would like (although great if you want full coverage).

I am petite and the petite size sma was wider across body than XS regular. i kept the regular XS and it is a little long. It's a nice option for Florida winters the golf course.

I would give this 5 stars, but it is a little big and has a boxy cut. The picture looks like it is slightly fitted, but it is not. Medium is my usual size at L.L.Bean, but a small might have been better in this vest. I really like that it is a longer length, and it is very well made. It is a perfect layer for cooler days.
