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

I was obsessed with this pullover all season and i finally was able to find it in a medium in GREEN! I put it on for the first time and wore it for about an hour until i looked down and the stitches of the quilting were pulling and there was 2 significant holes in it!!!! I called LL BEAN and they said that the pullover was unfortunately out of stock everywhere and they said i can start calling stores around the county if I wanted to try and find one myself. I now have to go out of my way to go to the store and return a brand new 65.00 sweatshirt because of terrible quality control.

The fit looks nothing like the photo. The bottom is super wide and bows out. The material is a lot thinner than I thought it would be. Not worth the price in my opinion.

Loved the looks, and the top half fit great, but the bottom had zero elastic and simply hung. Don't know if this is bad design or poor construction, but it's going back. Who wants or needs a drafty sweatshirt ???

I have purchased many of these. Most recent in Nov 2025. All developed holes in front. I wash on medium with warm water. Hang to dry. Quality has decreased. Do not recommend.

I love this quarter zip shirt and bought several in different colors. It's very comfortable and looks very nice. However, after only 2-3 washings several small holes developed in the front quilted area. I had the same problem with the full zip version of the same sweatshirt. Very disappointing. I would continue to buy again in more colors if I could depend upon it holding up, but it's not worth the cost for only 2-3 wearings.

I bought this sweater 3 months ago. I loved it. However, it's now completely worn downin only 3 months I'm very disappointed. (I don't have any pets, and haven't done any manual labor in this sweater.)

I absolutely loved this quarter zip, but within 2 months of purchase (and only 1 month of wearing it), a small tear formed in the front quilted section. I am SO disappointed, especially given the price of the jacket. Would not order again

Very disappointed in this pullover. I have worn it twice and it pills terribly under the arms and down the sides. I actually purchased a sweater shaver to remove the pills. Needless to say, this is not the quality I expected from LLBean

I bought this pullover last year and loved it--warm, lovely color, and flattering. When I pulled it out to use this year, I noticed several small holes in the front/middle of the pullover. I couldn't figure out what happened--moths? (but none were apparent) rubbing against a zipper in the coat I use? (but the zipper in that LLBean jacket was not exposed). So, I threw that jacked away and ordered another. In just a couple of weeks, those same holes began to appear. There's clearly a problem with the fabric. My other LLBean quarter zips are still in good shape--some over a decade old. LLBean should pull this product from its catalog.

Love the comfort and the warmth and colors available however they just don't stand up considering the amount of money you want for them I find this unacceptable. This has happened to both of the tops like this I have purchased

I have bought two of these. I love the look, but they only last one season before they get numerous small holes along side of the zipper. It happened to both tops in the same place, near the waist and up and down from there.

I like the lightweight product and the color, but it wore down to showing the insulation layer after TWO washings!!

I'm Going to return it. I wore it 5 times and it's pilling under my arms. That's not acceptable.

Loved the styling and that they came in tall size for my long arms. Fit is great. I would never pay this much for a sweatshirt except i was so excited to see tall sizes and I expected great quality from llbean, but unfortunately within 6 months of normal wear and washing both my sweatshirts developed holes in the quilted portion of the front of the shirts. I've never had a shirt wear holes so fast in my life. Very disappointing quality.

My sister JUST bought me this yesterday (she got herself one too) and I was wearing it when I cut my parents cats nails and it absolutely tore it up. I'm so upset. You would think the material would be more durable.

I have several of these sweatshirts I love them but this one not so much. It is made in different country than others not sure if that's why. It's covered in pills I'm actually thinking about returning.

The color as represented on the website, was quite different from the jacket that I received. On the website, it looked like a pink with peach overtones. What I received was a cooler pink with a dusty overtone. The fabric on the front of the jacket looked like it had an unintended crease. However, it was not a fold, but rather an imperfection in the fabric that was used. I am disappointed with both color and the quality of the materials that were used in the manufacturer of this jacket.

LL BEAN used to be great quality, and you paid a higher price to get textile clothing that lasted, and that's why they kept my business. For 30 years I've purchased here..only to buy this $80 sweater and after wearing for 2 hours it has holes that have come through in the fabric.. I thought it was a fluke returned it and got another one only to have the same issue..now the store is 1hr from me so I would have to somehow manage my carload of kids and driving 2hrs then the hassle of the store return. I am so disappointed and they just keep saying they stand behind their products, but clearly there's an issue here with quality! I was told a customer service representative would contact me and nothing, emails go unattended and this just is not the company of 10years ago.

So disappointed that this sweatshirt is pilling badly after just one use. Pills under the arms along the sleeves and side panels. It looks and feels awful. Color is the rustic purple. Previously bought the bright sapphire which is not pilling - yet. This was my favorite new sweatshirt until now. Afraid to buy any other colors.

I purchased this item a little over a year ago, and it was my favorite sweatshirt because I loved the cozy fabric and the bright yellow color. I took good care of it just how the tag instructed. Unfortunately, the fabric started to get runs in it, like tights do. I live in an area with seasons, and I'm so disappointed in the cheap quality of the fabric. This was actually my second purchase of a similar item (my first was the quilted hoodie) and that one got a run in it too, I just thought it was a fluke. Turns out, it's a quality issue. I've purchased similar items from less expensive retailers that are still going strong.

I bought this pullover in September and absolutely loved how soft and warm it was. However, it already has a hole today in the front pocket. I am really disappointed that the pullover barely lasted six months.

the seams stitching came off on this after the first wear, wash. this item was very expensive item and should have not have done this. I am disappointed

The sleeves are too tight, LL Bean use to get that a plus size would need bigger arms, but must be trying to save on manufacturing. I kept the one I order, but regret not returning it every time I wear it, my arms feel like they are in sausage casings. The rest fit perfectly

I bought two of these because they look nice and were on sale. Both have snags on the front which can't really be fixed. My other LL Bean sweatshirts hold up well, but this one is not made well. Sadly, I don't recommend it.

Purchase three of these, as I wash them (inside out even), small holes are showing up on the quilted fabric, so no longer good to wear, very disappointed.
