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

The styling of this jacket is flattering for more petite women. (Maybe tunics are finally going the way of the dinosaur for a while?) I also appreciate the complete lining, especially the "slippery sleeves." I'm tired of unlined jacket/coat sleeves that stick and drag. I ordered this jacket in soapstone, probably the most neutral/versatile of all the color choices, even the black, considering its trim. I'm happier with the true color combo than the way it appears on line. On line it appears pure white with baby blue trim, sort of little girlish. It's actually more off-white or dove gray with medium-gray trim, subdued and sophisticated.

More stylish than a normal fleece. Looks fabulous with jeans. Great retro yellow/gold color!

What a cute top! Quality is excellent - soft lining and nice, thick material. The gold color is as pictured. The cut is modern without being cropped. I chose a large because there weren't reviews on fit when I ordered and I wanted to wear a sweater underneath, but a medium would have been a better choice. Still, the large looks and feels great even though it's quite roomy for my height/weight. Very happy with this fleece top!

Great purchase - cut smaller than most LLB but the style is flattering and does not disappoint! Way to go with your continued designs that are as fashionable as they are reliable and well made. This is what makes a legacy company!

The antique gold color is a lovely neutral. The lining of this gives it almost a casual old school fur coat feel, in the best way. The sleeve length on the petite medium is shorter on me than other LL Bean tops, but I'm actually a fan. I'm a little curious as to how the petite large would fit--P Medium is comfortable in a loose but tailored modern way. REALLY like this, and would love to see a coat-length version offered! Also love the more subtle logo below the pocket.

the antique gold is beautiful! i usually wear petite extra small. The petite xxs fits perfectly. casual, light weight and sherpa - a fun jacket. may need another one!

I'm so glad I ordered this. It fits true to size and is incredibly cozy and warm, without being too bulky. I can wear it out and about on those days where it's not totally freezing, but definitely chilly, but also around the house to keep warm. I ordered the green and love the color - really vibrant and has a retro feel.

snug little lightweight jacket, eggplant color disappointingly dull

Returned. Usually buy large so I have room to layer. Bought large, too tight

It's not as plush a sherpa-but I know it will be warm till it gets very cold like in the 20's. The sleeves are a bit narrow and long for me at 5' 1"-probably can't get anything but a thin sweater thru them without a struggle. But the sleeves are thankfully lined with a slippery fabric. I can sew so I shortened my sleeves 1". I'm short (5' 1") so it comes below my waist, which I like. If you are 5' 9" it will probably be to your waist. Snaps on the pockets are welcomed, closure snaps seem strong. I like the color, it is as pictured on line, a nice medium rust color. I'm gray-haired and I think it's a good color for me. I subtracted 1 star for the narrow arms.

Nice for someone else, I don't know what I was thinking.

A nice, shorter, warm fleece with a little more style. I'm usually a small, but XS fit better, though snug across chest (thus 4 stars). I've been wearing it a lot this spring, both indoors and out (off-white color).

For sure one of my most used jackets on mild winter days! Tho, after a wash I did notice the lining shrunk a little bit, and the bottom of the jacket doesn't lay totally flat now (would suggest very low/ no heat dry cycle) also 2 snaps fell off (and I had to replace them)

Cozy but runs large. I would've ordered a small if I'd known how big it runs. I wear a medium in most other Bean items, but this is quite roomy. Also, the color of the trim is a true gray. The photo makes it look more greenish-gray, which I'd prefer.

Loved the color! Nice for in between weather but didn't want to wear a big jacket. Was a little big on me but I kept it cause it was still cute

Had been looking at this sherpa fleece for some time. When it when on sale I finally gave in and purchased it. So glad I did. I got a size xs, regular, It does run a bit big, but I'm glad because I can fit a heavy sweater undernearh on cold days. The sleeves are long which I love, I have long arms. Overall am very happy with this jacket, my only complaint is the color isn't as bright as in the pictures.

great jacket but too short for me. returned and ordered the coat instead

Warm but not so totally cozy. I didn't understand that the sleeves were lined with a slick fabric that is less soft. Jacket is a good fit but the sleeves are fairly snug. I can't wear more than one layer underneath. Love the look but slightly lacking in overall satisfaction.

I didn't realize when I bought it that it had snaps instead of a zipper. That's my fault, but I want a zipper. It has a lining that felt stiff. The pockets seemed a little too far to the sides. I have a different LL Bean fleece that I wear all day, every day, but I wanted something a little warmer. I guess I want something exactly like what I have, but a little warmer, and this was different than that.

Fit perfectly and kept me warm, I would get another color as well

I wanted the blue one but you sent me the green one!!

Cozy, cute, and warm. I gave this 4 stats instead of 5 because I wished it was a little softer with a pocket on the left upper breast area. Very stylish and kept me warm though. Also loved the side pockets and I love the forest green color I got.

All was good: color, warmth, but the closures are difficult and awkward to close, so, though I have kept the jacket, it really does not meet my intended usage.

I love this jacket and do wear it often. I love the purple color, and the fact the sleeves are lined with a satiny material so it's a breeze to put on and take off with wintry under layers. However, the length of the jacket itself is short on my tall(ish) body, even though I have a relatively short torso and long legs. Although it fits well otherwise, I find I am pulling it down often, or it rides up to near my waist, making it less comfortable. Great jacket, LL Bean. Just add an inch or two to the body length, and I'd buy one in every color. For reference, I am 64, 5'8 1/12" tall and 220 pounds, and purchased the XL.

Item is comfortable with ample room to layer. Bulky and not the most flattering, but when it's cold, I couldn't care less. Snap closure is a nice feature too, in my opinion.
