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

This item is a zip up, quilted sweatshirt, the color is beautiful and why I considered keeping it but for these reasons I decided not to. First it had a horrible oily smell when it first came out of the plastic wrap, it did disperse after washing, but the odor smelled like petroleum, next the zipper although very sturdy started sticking. It did not have a tab to hang it, since it has no hood hanging it up causes a dent in the fabric. The material is an inexpensive fabric not worth the high price tag. Not made in the USA, which I find odd as llbean is synonymous with Maine.

Love the sweatshirt BUT the pockets do not hold my cell phone which keeps falling out. It's a problem if I don't have other pockets to use. I'm disappointed.

I found the quilting made this stiffer and tighter than the mock-neck zip-up I usually buy. Didn't like it. I wear, and have for 20 years worn LLBean regular small, and have many of the mock-neck zip-ups, they all still fit fine. This one was binding.

It looked as if this jacket was thrown together in a hurry. Upper seams on pockets did not meet in front and zipper was too difficult to manage. Very disappointed, because fabric is very nice, warm but not heavy, fit was good, liked the styling. Hated to send it back. What happened to quality control?

Didn't have enough room in chest but shoulder seams were correctly placed. With possible shrinkage over time, I wouldn't have been happy.

Wanted to love this but sleeves were too long and it just didn't feel right.

The sleeves on this full zip sweatshirt were too snug in a Petite Large. Other than that, this was a fine garment, great zipper, good color. I hope that the Design folks can add an inch in the Width of the sleeves for next year's model, length of sleeves was good.

I have this zip front sweatshirt in the rose color. I purchased a lilac one and am disappointed to find that it is 2" longer in the body (and a bit more narrow) and the sleeves than the one I already have. Everything I've purchased from Bean recently has been too long. I've had to hem Perfect Fit Pants in regular. The new printed split neck tunic was exchanged for petite due to being too long and the sleeves are too short now while the body length is good. I also purchased the new Feather Fleece and it too has to be returned because it's too long in the body. I've been a customer for over 30 years and am still the same 5'6" height. I've ordered replacements in the petite option and hope the garment proportion will fit as well as being shorter.

I loved this sweatshirt until I had to exchange it after only a couple of months because it was showing wear. The second one did the same thing, so I will not be ordering another.

Its way too big (I'm normally a size large, but this felt at least 2 sizes too big) and the arms/sleeves were crazy short. This was in the other reviews I saw online- unfortunately I only looked them up post-purchase. Overall, not the quality I would have expected from LL Bean. This felt like something I would have bought at a random souvenir shop if I desperately needed a sweatshirt and there were no other options.

Wanted to like this but 2 issues. One, the inside panels on the burgundy are white and it makes it look like it was pieced together from scraps. The other issue is after a few washes, the color has started to fade, especially on the seams and cuffs. The product looked very elegant in picture but the white panels were a disappointment. And for the price, expected higher quality fabric that wouldnt have faded after a few washes. Very disappointed.

The garment is well-made but VERY long for a regular size, as it came to below my buttocks and the sleeves were also very long. (I'm 5'5".) Because the petite is only two inches shorter, I did not ask for a replacement. If the measurements were easily available, I would have known not to order this.

I really wanted to like this jacket, but the body was too long in a medium petite (my usual size). The ribbed band at the bottom was below my hips and stuck out all the way around. It was weird. Sleeve length and fit everywhere else was fine. I couldn't have gone down a size. In addition, the item had been worn and probably washed and dried. It reeked of some kind of scent. Why it was resold is beyond me. The woman who who helped me at the store could smell it through her mask.

I really wanted this to fit but it was too boxy and unflattering. Had to return

I liked this garment until I washed it. Despite washing in cold water on the gentle cycle, the color (dark blue) faded enough to notice. Considering that this "sweatshirt" costs $80 plus, I just can't recommend it.

This sweatshirt is a beautiful color and fit well through shoulders, sleeves and body. However, the binding at the bottom flares out a bit to flatter a curvy shape. I am an apple shaped woman with slim hips. This was very unflattering on me. Sadly, I returned this item.

I love the fit and look of this sweatshirt, but after only 2-3 washings there are small holes in the front quilted area. This sweatshirt is very comfortable and looks very nice, but it doesn't hold up. I bought both full zip and quarter zip and had the same problem on both. Not up to LL Bean standards. I would buy again if the fabric was improved.

I received this as a gift a year ago. I love the color, weight, and fit of this jacket but it is not reflective of LL Bean's typical standard of quality. Jackets with zippers are washed inside out and typically spared from the dryer. Within months, the seams on this jacket and the front quilted placket began to give out. I couldn't return it since it was a gift, but wanted to tell other shoppers that it won't last long!

I ordered this 8-14-24. Within a year of purchase, the front seams on either side of the zipper had abraded, showing a bright green layer under the super thin outer quilted cotton layer. Very disappointed! This sweatshirt didn't receive any unusual wear. I'm writing this review now because I'm finally looking to replace this sweatshirt, and I thought LL Bean should know about this defective product.

It is a good buying process, but the number of emails requesting surveys afterwards are ridiculous. Just about makes you want to shop someplace with Land's End so you do not have to deal with the barrage. Seriously, just stop already!!!!

I have purchases multiple different colors of the same jacket. I love the jacket but it continues to get tiny holes near the zipper or on either side of the zipper. Tiny holes in the middle of the fabric. I saw this jacket on ebay and if you look closely the same tiny holes. I am shocked more people haven't complained about this problem.

89 bucks and they don't honor a lousy 10$. I am supposed to get

I bought this in August, but I live in North Carolina, so I only started wearing it in October or so. I like the jacket, but it really does pill a lot! I would like to return it for something else.

Very disappointed you don't have the women's quilted full-zip sweatshirt in tall sizes this year (2025-2026).

I bought two of these sweatshirts and unfortunately after only a few wearings the front panels developed holes, black holes. Very unsightly. Huge waste of money. Think some compensation is in order.
