Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Quilted Full Zip Sweatshirt

I bought this jacket in October and color has already faded dramatically. I have only washed it about 3 times since I keep it at the office . I wash on delicate /cold and dry on the lowest heat setting , so I am not sure why this happened .

I tried this in two sizes but was unable to get a good fit. I loved the jacket but couldn't keep it for that reason.

I LOVE the fabric and design of this jacket. BUT, why, why, why, aren't the upper part of the sleeves roomy enough to be able to comfortably wear another garment under it? It's a jacket, why not make the sleeves roomy enough for a flannel under it?

Comfortable but not up to par with LL Bean quality. Shoulders and sleeves fit perfect but the bottom is quite wide and looks like it is already stretched out. Thinner than expected

This jacket is nice enough, but I couldn't keep it because I was swimming in the petite medium and the shoulders are fitted but the belly / hip area is disproportionately big (compared to the shoulders) in my opinion.

Nice Quilted Jacket- Pretty color. My wife loved her gift but the sizing runs small.

I loved the color and styling and fabric but it did not look good on me so I returned it.

The sweatshirt is soft and warm, but the collar is annoying. I don't like it standing up, but it will not fold down nicely.

Quality fabric. Beautiful color. It runs very large. Suggest you size down.

Too tight in the arms. I'm a small person but I found the arms to be too tight for comfort. I ordered a medium.

This jacket is similar style to another pullover I ordered at the same time, only this one is a Large instead of an Extra Large. It would need to be exchanged for an XL except for a flaw in the design. The wide bottom band is all elastic, but very useless because it just hangs, has no shape or tension. It looks like it is completely stretched out and doesn't have any body to it. Needless to say, the pullover top I ordered that is a similar design to this one has the same problem. I am returning both garments because of this faulty section of a nice garment. This is very disappointing, especially right before my trip.

Please bring back the quilted vest, similar to this quilted full zip sweatshirt. I bought one vest for my elderly mother and it's absolutely the perfect layer. She tried this full-zip sweatshirt style but the sleeves were way too tight and too long. The vest with no sleeves is so easy for her to put on. It's stylish and looks so nice on her. Had I known at the time that the vest product would be discontinued so quickly, I would have bought more! The color options are lovely, too.

I love these sweatshirts and have several. But after the first washing, the turquoise one began to develop worn patches (the others have had fewer issues), mainly along the zipper, because the outer layer of material is so thin. I've had to darn about nine patches so far. I don't want to discourage others from buying itit's a great garment otherwisebut would like to encourage L L Bean to find a stronger outer material.

I was told in an email this would arrive on 3/15. Today is 3/21 and I have not received it yet.. Way too long a wait from Christmas. And I haven't heard from Bean's regarding the delay.

Beautiful sweatshirt/jacket, BUT...it is SO, SO long and just hangs, almost like a short tunic. Extremely uncomfortable and unflattering. I am short, 5'2", but even with the smallest size, it is just cut to hang. Disappointing, sent back.

comfortable for wearing around the house on chilly days, easy to launder and dry without worrying about polyester fleece shedding nano-particles. The quilting makes it almost as warm as fleece. Only 3 stars because after one laundering, the binding trim on one pocket was already worn and shredded.

Love it but zipper caught fabric and tore it after the first use!

I have purchased this item in the past, and was very pleased with it. So, I recently ordered again in the same size, but in a different color. While the quilted fabric and features appeared to be the same quality as the prior purchase, unfortunately I had to return this item because the arms and shoulders were too tight despite ordering the same size as before. Meanwhile, upon return, I discovered that the desired color had sold out in the larger size. :(

Purchased one of these but zipper stuck and tore material. LL bean replaced it for free. Replacement was used sparingly but has two holes which need darning. The other non zipper sweatshirt is great! Don't buy this one!

I'm a pear-shaped athlete. I bought this alongside the featherweight fleece, both in size L; the fleece fits perfectly, but this one is tight around the hips. It stretches, the fabric is lovely, but I think I'd prefer a size up.

Liked the full zip option but the sleeves on this quilted jacket were too tight and too long. Please bring back the quilted vest! My mom wears her vest all the time. It's a really nice fit and length.

I ordered S petite and I wasn't impress with the quality of this quilted full zipper sweatshirt, but I wanted to keep it until I tried it on. The shoulders and length were Okay, but the bottom was to wide around my hip. I hate to return items, but I had to do it. I am petite 124 pounds, 5.1 height.

I love the way it fits and how the fabric feels. There are 2 things that kept me from giving 5 stars. 1) The zipper keeps getting caught. 2) The zipper is sharp.

I bought a pink one and a white one both size large. The pink one is PERFECT IN ALL WAYS. The white one is about 1 1/2 inches smaller across the chest/bust. This just won't do. I will be returning it.

The sweatshirt is warm and cozy without being bulky. It washes and dries beautifully. The reason I gave it only 3 stars is because of what I perceive to be quality control issues. The first problem I encountered was a scratchy and itchy tag that was attached to the inside back neckline. Fortunately I realized the problem and removed it before I left for the airport or it would have been a very uncomfortable flight. Also this is the second top I have recently purchased from LL Bean that had a problem with the zipper. Both times I had to swap the tops with another on the floor because the original zippers did not work properly.
