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

This is a very nice warm cozy sweatshirt/jacket in a large regular, but the length is much too long. I also had the large petite but the arms were too tight. Unfortunately, I will be returning.

I have this sweatshirt in the quarter zip and love it. The materials are soft and comfortable. This full zip jacket didn't feel as comfortable, although it fit well. The cuffs were rough against my skin and the zipper was a bit jagged. I was so excited to get this but sadly sent it back. The cream color was pretty and it felt well constructed. I may just order another pullover.

I am astonished by the number of "fits as expected" reviews. This is my size, in any number of LL Bean garments I own or was gifted this holiday. It is much too small, especially because it is meant to be an outer layer, and many of the reviews mention shrinkage. In addition to general width, the sleeves are too tight. I am so disappointed that I need to go through the "mail it back and wait for a replacement" ritual, since there is no store within 75 miles, but I will because I still like the sweatshirt.

This sweatshirt is beautiful in cream, except for the zipper. Not sure what the designer was thinking with that choice! The fabric and the quilting design create a polished look but the zipper is a heavy bronze metal which would be much better suited to a tent! I love the fit, the style and the fabric; I'd definitely keep it if it weren't for the zipper, it's a deal-breaker. On the plus side, there's no chest logo, only logos at the hip and on the zipper pull. If this sweatshirt had a more appropriate zipper I'd keep it, give it 5 stars and recommend it to everyone. Sadly, it's going back. Bummer.

This is second time I have ordered this sweatshirt in last couple years. I already called customer service bc the zipper pull is missing from this item- I spoke w customer service about the issue.

After wearing the jacket indoors for a few months there are small snags and holes throughout the jacket. Overall not worth the price and would not recommend to purchase.

I really like the style of this jacket, but I wish the sizing was more consistent. I have the navy blue one and it fits perfectly so I ordered the new brown heather color. It's a bit wider and about 2 inches longer. I was hoping it would shrink in the wash, but it didn't and now I can't return it. You would think for the price there would be more attention to the sizing.

I have the same issue as Carol - the quilted panel has big holes in it now, exposing some black part underneath. I've had mine for a while now, but this problem developed maybe a year into having it. I was shocked that something from LL Bean had such a major quality flaw. I still love and wear this at home for chilly days - it's very cozy - but charging $90 is nuts if the product can't hold its appearance for more than a year.

I wish they would once again make this jacket with the hood!

The quilted sweatshirt is a beautiful color. Alas, it is too big. The quality of the material is not what I expected either. L.L.Bean used to have great quality clothing and items fit. Quality has gone downhill. Item is being returned along with two other items I ordered.

I liked the style of this sweatshirtcasual, but much nicer than my many "I'm going to do yard work" sweatshirts . When I received it, I didn't like that the brass zipper looked so tarnished and rather dingyI didn't think it went well with the classic style or the pretty pink color. But even worse for me was that the overall fit wasn't good. Although it fit well in most places, and I could have worn a Henley shirt underneath it, the sleeves were snug, even though I only had a short sleeved top on. It also seemed a bit too large and boxy through the hips area. So although I loved the idea, I'm returning it and will keep shopping for a different classic sweatshirt.

I bought this jacket in January and was very happy with the fit and style, so much so, I bought another one as a gift. But tonight I noticed there are already 2 holes forming and I haven't worn it that often. Very disappointing.

The sweatshirt is not attractive and the style is frumpy. The fit was baggy and I returned this item.

I have two of these and really loved them...at first. Like some of the one star reviewers, I have holes on the sleeves and on the front in the upper layer of the fabric on both sweatshirts. I would like to buy more, but please user a sturdier fabric.

This jacket is too delicate for everyday wear. The quilted fabric is too fragile. Holes started forming on the front of the jacket after a few wears. It was really disappointing as I expected much higher quality from an LL Bean product.

I absolutely love this sweatshirt. The style and the fit are great. Which is why I gave it two stars. I got this as a Christmas present and noticed after just a few wears and washes thay the elbows were showing significant signs of wear. I reached out to customer service and they helped me send it back and get it replaced, however the replacement looks the exact same if not worse after a similar amount of time. I wear this to work in an office, so not like it's out in the elements. But I'm really concerned that in a few more months, there will be large holes in the elbow area and I'm going to have to throw this away. Not the quality I expect from L.L. Bean and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

5'7" 110 pear. Love the material and construction. Pricey but worth it. Tried reg S, petite S, petite XS. Finally reg SX fits.light warmth without the bulk.

First of all I LOVE Bean's full zip quilted sweatshirt. I already had 2 that I wear weekly and the quality, fit, and comfort are top notch. However I am reviewing the black full zip sweatshirt that just arrived. I was expecting it to fit just like my other 2 as all 3 sweatshirts are Tall Small in size. But as you can see in pictures the black is 1 in shorter and almost 1 inch slimmer than my other 2 sweatshirts. I now want to know if this is normal for this color or if I got an imperfect one. I also would like it know if other colors have size differences too. L.L.Bean please let me know as this will help me determine if I should exchange for a different color or just return. I'm also bummed that I will have to pay shipping to return or exchange when I was counting on the sizing to be consistent. I am also bummed as I found this sweatshirt style last year and I loved it so much I was hoping to fill my closet with the full zip quilted sweatshirt in many colors.

I loved the idea of this sweatshirt so I bought three of them. I did read about the piling and after three washings, it has started on the knitted inserts. Very disappointing. And the zipper is not working smoothly. It is difficult to get started and has one or two "stopping" places that you really have to work through to get it fully zipped. I believe it is too close to the stitching to zip smoothly. For a sweatshirt at this price, I had hoped for perfection.

Small was large like a medium. Very large for the size ordered.

too snug with a pull over sweater on. . returned it

I returned this. Loved the color and fabric but the styling was just not flattering.

I have had 4 of these sweatshirts and the gray one got holes within a year and now the navy one has holes! For $94.00 this should wear better. Hoping to get this taken care of.

Product is beautiful but does not last. After less than a year, my sweatshirt developed holes by the zipper. There is also some pilling. I have washed it twice on gentle cycle, inside out in cold water, hang dry, and mainly wear it indoors. What's worse is that the store almost refused my return, saying it was "normal wear and tear." No quality item should develop holes in such a short period of normal use.

It's hard to find full zip sweatshirts on tall sizes, so I thought these would be perfect! I brought several. Unfortunately they have all started to develop very obvious wear and holes after only a couple months of normal use.
