Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Mountain Pile Fleece Coat

Nice coat not real flattering if your short! Just wore it on the beach in Maine I'd give it a 7 for warmth doesn't keep the wind out ! Overall decent I'm keeping it

I love the look of this jacket and bought a medium, my normal size. I would have preferred a large if they had it, for a little looser fit. The inside reminds me somewhat of neoprene, which isn't bad.

Really cute jacket, not as warm as I thought it would be, but it's good for dog walks in the fall. Also, I took an XXS which fits me perfectly everywhere except for around the collar where it's a bit snug.

i absolutely think my new coat is wonderful. The only reason it's not a 5 star rating is the zipper isn't very user friendly.

Really nice coat but not for me. Sized well. Material nice and liked the color.

I'm 5'6" 140, 34c/27 and got a Medium based off other reviews saying to size up and it's really big in the chest/stomach area. Might exchange for a small but afraid the sleeves will be too short.

This is a jacket, not a coat. A small fit just right, I was worried due to reviews... I think if you order based on your size in a long sleeve blouse you'll get what you expect? If sleeves in a long sleeve blouse size are tight then this would fit tight...if your chest pops buttons open then the jacket will fit the same way...it fits just like a dress shirt made of fleece. The fleece is more like mock wool than some fleece you find these days. The 4 rating is because the zippers, especially the pocket ones, feel like they are gonna give out or breakdown sooner than later. Sleeve length is about average to a touch long, like you can tuck your hands up into them to keep em warm like you did as a kid. I got big thighs and a lumpy bum, so the slightly flared bottom worked well for me, but if you have sticks from the waist down I could see this jacket fitting like an A line dress. The hood fits fine too, a bit stiff if your expecting something floppy like a cotton hoodie. The lining is better than I thought it was gonna be, it's similar to a T shirt in weave, but it's 100% polyester, so it has way more structure than a stretchy T shirt. It's certainly kinda dumpy looking on, but most jackets and coats are... especially fleece and poofy down ones, so if you want a classy look this isn't it. It totally reminded me of a jacket I loved back in 1970 something when I was in preschool, for real...kinda has a nostalgic feel to it... Sorta wish it had a pocket on the inside lining too...but whatever.

Nice coat, however a large was a little too small for me

Very warm. Fit is accurate. Have not had a chance to wear it yet or to wash it. Similar to one I had years ago so should hold up well.

Bought as a layer piece. Normally wear XS and it's roomy towards the bottom; flares out a bit in an a- line fashion which is unflattering and unnecessary for the XS/XXS. Lined with a sweatshirt like material that could be softer and cozier. That being said, it does layer nicely, it is comfortably warm, and besides the weird flare at the bottom, is really cute! Got it on sale in brown and I need to sew teddy bear ears into the hood. Perfect for any ma bear or gma bear. Tried the white one on and not as cute in polar bear. Brown bear for the win.

I really like this coat overall. It provides the warmth and protection from the elements that I need in Northern Michigan. The sleeves were too long even though I ordered a petite and the zipper does not operate as smoothly as I expected from LL Bean and for the price. I think I will have to have it replaced long before the coat wears out; otherwise, I would give it a 5-star.

This is a warm and cozy jacket. I spend a lot of time around the ice rink and this jacket works for when its not Minnesota winter temperatures outside and you are active. I'm 5'2" ,125lbs and got the petite XS but the sleeves are too long. Even with a sweat shirt under it, there's a lot of room. I should probably have got the xxs but the shoulders fit just right on the XS and I'm afraid the XXS would be too tight round the shoulders. I'm making do because the store does not carry petite sizes and I was too lazy to return it yet again after having bought the petite small first. (returns by mail are not free). It is cozy though and the pockets are very deep.

Loved the color and the warmth. I am 5'7" and usually wear a size 6 so ordered the small. The arms and shoulders were tight so I opted to order a medium. A bit big, but not tight so I had to return the small and pay for the return. I think worth the added money.

I have the vest version of this jacket, and I am in absolute love with it, so I got this jacket. Unfortunately for me, they're a little different - but it might be fine for you. This has a lining/ coating on the inside of it that the vest does not. This would make it warmer and more wind resistant, but it also makes it less breathable. I wore this to work yesterday and that lining makes me go from cool to too warm and clammy on a short commute in my car. Something like wool just keeps me cozy without getting too warm and clammy. I do not like synthetics and I stay away from them whenever possible. Sometimes they're ok, particularly with fleece. The vest was a great choice and I thought this would be the same. I sized up and got this in a L, based on reviews and so I could layer bulky things underneath it - like the vest that's in this style, which is quite bulky. This jacket is too big for me in an L, and roomy enough that a M might have been ok for layering. But I think I'll probably just return it and not get another one, sadly. I really need a spring jacket but I think I'll have to get something else. It does look great. I got it in the pink color, which is unusual for me, but it is pretty and I got complimented on it (by a male colleague) as soon as I walked into my office. The only other options were white or black and I don't want either of those.

I love the color, nice fit. But for cold winter in Wisconsin is not good. The inside fabric is no really warm .

I love this coat but I'd rather it be a bit more loose fitting. It's so comfortable , great quality and a very good weight. I wear a medium to large and even the large is more form fitting but i like my clothes to be looser. I love it so much I would buy another in a different color to have more of them.

Nice but didn't fit, so it was returned. The cut was slim, and I needed a fuller cut. Liked the fabric and 2-way zipper.

So cute and cozy, and very warm! I did feel the cut was a bit odd, a little too ample in the lower half (I would have preferred the A-line to not be so wide and the base.

Great length and weight for wearing over workout clothes

It's soft, it's cozy, it's well constructed and it covers the bum! What's not to like? I did, however, end up returning becuase I'm just not quite sure how much I'll use it. It's not warm enough to be a full winter coat, but it's too warm and long to be a light active piece--just a funny in-between-er that I don't think I'll use that much except for 3 days in spring and 3 days in fall when temps hit the "brisk" mark but before the "hello frost" mark.

One sleeve was longer than the other, but I had to get them hemmed a little anyway. However even after they were hemmed the sleeves are just off. It's just a light jacket for running around anyway

It has a nice backing to the fleece that gives it some weight and warmth. It is a nice length, perfect for wearing over scrubs on the way into work as it provides more coverage than waist length coats and is comfortable for drive in. I can wear this coat into the low 30's and stay warm. I love how it is slightly fitted and the arms are long for me.

Gift for mom. She loved it! I think i want one too

This came yesterday in the mail. I packaged it up to send back ( I tried it on with a sweater). Today I opened it up and tried again. I'm keeping it. I would not pay full price, but it is cute. I wear mostly a 14, and the large is what I bought.

Coat was great except it ran a little small. Went to reorder and color no longer available. Very disappointed.
