Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Bean's Sherpa Fleece Jacket

I love LLBean. Flannel or fleece is generally of good quality and substantial! I am 5'3, approximately 125-127 lbs, and wear a women's size 8. In Bean, I buy a Small and did so with this fleece jacket, and the fit is fine. I agree with a couple of other reviews, that the inside lining is a comfortable knit, but the lining in the sleeves is different than the bodice; lining is nylon (like a parka jacket) and cold when you put your arms in. Other than that oddity, I love it!

I bought the Soapstone, which to me looked like a creamy white online. In reality, it is a light beige that looks like a white that has been worn a lot and now looks dirty. I plan to exchange for another color. Aside from the color, I LOVE this fleece. It's warm but not heavy in terms of weight/bulk. Easy to throw on over other layers. Fits me comfortably in terms of size and cut. The neck is extra cozy in the wind. I love that the style is on-trend but classic. This is going to be one of my most-worn clothing items. Equally good for outdoor wear and wearing indoors on a chilly evening. Feels well-made.

I bought the jacket in black in a size large, my regular size in all LL Bean jackets and tops. It fits nicely. I read a few criticisms of the lining in the reviews. I have worn the jacket for a couple of weeks and I hadn't even noticed that the sleeves are lined with a different fabric from the body. I think I understand why they did that. My guess is the sleeves are lined with a slippery fabric for easy on and off over layers and the body is lined with a knit for coziness. So here is where the black version falls short. They edged the sleeves and front edges with navy blue trim. I am guessing that was a money saving choice as they offer the jacket in a dark blue color too. It's always more economical for the manufacturer to buy a larger quantity of materials in the same color rather than smaller quantities in different colors. I think for $99 I can expect the trim to match the fleece. Now whenever I look at my jacket I can't stop noticing how cheap it looks. Too bad. It was so close to perfect. The sherpa fleece has held up well so far and shows no signs of matting or pilling. I haven't decided if I'll keep it. I guess it will depend on whether or not I can get used to the black and navy combo. As you can see in the photo, the sleeves are cuffed about an inch. I am 5'4" and the sleeves are a little bit long for me. That is almost always the case with my fleece jackets so I'm used to it.

This jacket is a good retro item both in terms of color and texture.

Great casual jacket! I'm looking forward to some cool weather so I can wear it.

I purchased last year a green Sherpa fleece jacket and found it was the warmest jacket I had in my closet. So, when I had the opportunity to purchase another on sale I grabbed it!!

Another great product by LL Bean! Cozy and warm with a stylish fit! I bought the eggplant or purple color and it's gorgeous!

I love this fleece. Although it is boxy and not flattering on my short frame, 5'2", its so cozy. I have two, white & purple.

Great jacket can't wait to wear it next fall/ winter

This is my new favorite jacket! It is so cozy and such a beautiful addition to my wardrobe! I love the snap buttons and the front pockets! Fits true to size.

I have worn this jack consistently since I purchased it. I wore it in late winter outside with the dogs. I have layered it in the spring with a hoodie underneat. It is a basic I am so beyond happy I own!

I purchased the coat in brown and the jacket in purple. The brown made me look like a huge bear, but I'm crazy about the jacket. Gorgeous color! I hope LL Bean will be a little more adventurous about the colors they purchase. Color makes the garment!

Awesome jacket, warm yet not heavy. We all should have a cozy warm jacket in our closet

Glad i purchased this ,great for fall and spring, comfortable fit.. slightly roomy Seems to run true to size.ish order one dice up if u want to wear something bulky! I purchased the 2x..,normally I go 18/20

Love this jacket! Very warm, perfect for the spring or fall alone, or layered under a puffer for winter. Fits like a teddy bear.

Perfect between Winter and Spring jacket; great sale for me because I love the color offered; great fit.

Comfortable jacket and very stylish purchased a medium I'm 5'4 130lbs and it fit perfect

Very soft, cozy for cold spring mornings. Great buy

My go to jacket when it is really cold outside. (NE Texas) This jackets cuts the wind and keeps you really warm. I bought a L so I can layer. I am a Med. size but for jackets I always go up a size. I bought an Emerald. Great jacket.

Purchased Petite, Sz XL, my usual size.. - Perfect fit. Love the jacket, warm, trendy, comfy, and with enough room for wearing a sweater.

Provides a cozy layer of warmth for cold winter nights

I really like this jacket. It is warm and lightweight which is what I was looking for. I also like the fact that it is lined and therefore easy to get over sweaters. I ordered up a size so I would have room for layering.

This jacket is so cute and warm. Perfect for casual wear.
