Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Airlight Knit Pullover

This is a fine fleece in many ways but the ribbon on the bottom comes off which necessitates either returning it and then it happens again, or getting it fixed by someone with a sewing machine. I am not sure that will work but it should. I just don't like having to mend nearly new articles of apparel even if I like them very much.

I ordered the 1X because I wanted to be able to layer it with a turtleneck for early morning walks. It was huge and the arm length must have been sized for someone way over 6 ft tall. I sent it back and ordered an XL petite. The arms are so large they're baggy and so long I still need to roll them up. I really wanted to like this pullover because I thought the weight would make it such a versatile addition to my travel clothes, but alas it doesn't make the cut.

I like the material & color, but after wearing & washing it several times, its lining came off. I am very disappointed with the sewing quality.

I love this top. It was comfy, airy and just the right fit - a bit roomy. But after only two wearings the stitching came undone. I was disappointed given how much it cost.

I was so excited to receive this, having watched it for quite a while. I ordered a size 1x and sadly it was too small and way to short. I couldn't raise my arms without my tummy showing. I find LLBean's sizing all over the place. The quality is there, the comfort is there, the looks are there, but it's hard to tell what size to order. I ordered the Rugby in a 2x, it was a bit big, however, kept it, looks okay. So order a Anorak in 1x and it fit great. Also, I ordered 2x Bean T split neck tunic and it's too small. I understand I can return the items, and there is a box of 4 items packed to ship, however it's the cost to have items shipped when you are rolling the dice with extreme differences in the same size category. If I might add one more thing, please consider adding a little extra length so our tummies stay covered on cool days. Thanks for listening, this isn't a rant by any means, just laying it out there.

Material and general fit were fine. Did not like the elastic fit at the bottom as it made the shirt balloon out. Not a good look.

I really want to like this pullover. It fits great and is really comfortable. My husband bought one as well, and he likes his, too. I'm really concerned though, that it won't last and that it might be bad for the environment. Its 100% polyester, and little strands work their way out of the cloth. I've only worn it a few times and I've had to cut a bunch of them off. I understand that small strands like these come out in the wash as well, and into the oceans through the sewer systems. I'm going to keep wearing it for now, but if it gets worse, i'll need to send it back or get rid of it.

The fit is much shorter and smaller than other styles And inconsistent with other products. Bought 3 pullovers at the same time in the same size (petite xs) - the other two styles fit great so I didn't check this one and removed the tags assuming it's the same - it's about two inches shorter in length and doesn't fit at all. Quite disappointed and stuck bc I've pulled the tags and worn it

I was extremely disappointed in the fabric. It is extremely thin with very little (if it all) insulative value. I wish there had been more close up images of the fabric that showed how thin it was. Now I have to pay for return shipping which I am not happy about. Lots of returns due to fit issues this year with LL Bean.

Normally I wear this size, but this was entirely too small all over. Additionally, the fabric had a rough feel; definitely not a cozy feel. Sent it back, unfortunately.

The material on this is great... it just fits like most Bean tops do. A preggo woman could wear this top. Fits really well everywhere except the middle, where it balloons out so much that it feels like a large size. Bean needs to get in some slim fit garments or something, because I've had to return everything I've purchased there.

I really wanted to keep this because of the perfect weight of the fabric. It is a bit long. I returned it because the pocket does not work for the figure-skimming fit, you can't put anything in it without the pocket bulging and sagging in front. I liked the matching colored neck snaps when they are closed, but if opened, the revealed pewter metal snaps don't look attractive. A zipper neck would function and look better. I'll wait for a different design in the same fabric!

Like another reviewer, I greatly disliked the high contrast llbean name tag that was placed squarely on the breast of the wearer and actually drew the attention of an onlooker away from her face and to her breast. I used a seam ripper to take the tag off. Because I liked the style and fit of the garment otherwise, I kept it after this alteration. I cannot recommend this garment, however, to anyone who is unable or unwilling to cut the tag off.

Sleeves had to be turned up 1" . That didn't bother me until I had it on for about 10 minutes and I had to roll them up again!! Don't want to take chance that they and rest of garment could stretch any more than what it did. I am returning.

The fabric is super comfortable and I love the color, but sadly there's a big design flaw in this shirt. Maybe I got a misstitched one, but the inner gray front pocket hangs lower than the front hem of the shirt! It looks dumpy and cheap bc there's a glaringly obvious gray liner hanging about 1/2 inch further than the shirt itself. I don't want to bother with a return bc I know I can fix this myself with my sewing machine, but I definitely suggest people consider this flaw before buying one of these pricey shirts. Really disappointed in this purchase and very confused why anyone would rate it so highly.

I loved this initially but the bottom seam became completely unraveled within just a handful of washings. Not the quality I'm accustomed to from Beans, and I plan to return it.

I didn't like the fabric or the color. it was returned.

My shipment arrived today. I had purchased three items one of which was this pullover that looks great in the photo. Much to my surprise and disappointment the fabric is 100% polyester. For many years I have always purchased cotton only from LLBean. I was so disappointed that I wanted to comment immediately. I have never before felt it necessary to return an LLBean item based on quality. What to do.

I specifically ordered the women's version of this pullover, even though I much preferred the men's colors because my husband owns the men's version and had complained of it being too wide. The women's cut is no less wide. You either need to create a tall line of products or shrink in the width on all your products. We love llbean quality and esthetic design, but the fit needs to be more snug on nearly everything we've ordered in the past.

I ordered the orange color, but unfortunately, the color/neck fabric is a different shade of fabric than the rest of the top. It was noticeable as soon as I opened the package. Back it goes.

Unfortunately, I am outside of my return window. This did not hold up as o have grown to expect of LLBean. The shirt has multiple picks even though I have worn it very few times. The first pick was almost immediate so I thought I did something but as time goes on there are multiple problems. Looks cheap.

Poor fit and quality compared to a previous purchase. Thin material and baggy in the mid section. Would not recommend. I ordered size small petite I am 5'3" and weigh 115 lbs

I'm shocked! 100% polyester. Flimsy, transparent, ill-fitting LLBean you can do better.

Already tearing after owning just a month with very gentle use

I own 5 of these. purchased. over about 3 or 4 years. I absolutely love the others. I bought the new just before Christmas and the quality is horrible. Not at all like my others. I was so. disappointed and expected better from LLBean.
