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

I've ordered 2 of these now and the sizing just isn't quite right. The first time I ordered a 1X based on the size chart measurements and it was way too tight in the chest, armpits and arms. I returned it for a 2X which came today. It is so much bigger than the 1X but again the arms are a little tight. Im most likely going to return the 2X as well. Disappointing.

Inside is very stiff and not comfortable. Did not give at all like you would think it might.

Arms are tight- specifically the right arm. I had my mom try it on and she thought the same before I told her what I thought.

Fit was off, thought it seemed to run small for being a 2XL. Ended up returning it.

Absolutely not true to size, I had to go up one size and sleeves are still just a little tight.

I really wanted this to work but the windproof liner makes it hard to bend my elbows or reach above my head. If it was more flexible, I would have kept it. I also think it would be awesome if it had a cinch-able waist. The hood is a good size and the pockets are nice and deep. Sadly, returning this. Still searching for my perfect fleece parka.

I only rated this 3 stars because I ordered this in a medium taking the suggestion of L.L. Bean that it should be my size. I should have gone with my gut and ordered a large instead. I returned this coat and didn't order it again. It is light weight and seemed nice and cozy but just too small.

I had been waiting years for L.L. Bean to bring out another hooded fleece jacket as mine is very old. Unfortunately this jacket runs really large. Even though it is pretty and looks very warm it is not the same quality as the original hooded fleece jacket. I was going to order a smaller size but the color I wanted was on backorder so I just ended up sending it back.

this coat has a weird fit as someone mentioned. It does not fit like it looks in the picture. I should have bought the xxs probably but i would not because the inside feels stiff and the sleeves look awful on my skinny arms. Petite sizes dont help at all. The chest is the same in petite as it is in regular. So how is it petite?

This item regularly popped up in advertisements on my social media feeds. I loved it and thought it'd be perfect for fall in New England. I wasn't sure what size and decided on my regular size (medium). Sadly it was a tad too big and the coat in general was just too much material, too bulky and long. A smaller size would've been too snug in the midsection when zipped. Overall unflattering on me. It's a little pricey, but it would've been justifiable if it fit and flattered.Great quality!

I wanted to like this coat as it was very cozy and warm ; however, it was very unflattering to my figure and made my hips and chest looked even larger than they already are. It could benefit from a waist-cincher.

I love the look of this jacket and the price on sale was right (especially compared to another competitors jacket that is very similar). The color is great (I got the cream) and it seems really well made, unfortunately the weight of it was too heavy and it just wouldn't work for the season I wanted it for. I agree with another reviewer that the lining felt rigid and also that the arm length is a little short.

I like the coat on the model as it looked as if the feminine shape/ cut would work with my bodytype. I have an hourglass full figure. It added pounds on frame with thickness / pile of the fleece. Coat is well made and looks quality and is warm but my opinion is that it would only flatter a woman sized small.

I would have loved this warm coat but it's too wide at the bottom so it looks like a triangle. It does not look like the picture.

When you are wearing this with a very thin sweater or tee shirt the fit is true to size. Even though the material on the outside looks like a cozy fleece and the blue/orange is so cute, the material inside is very thick and rigid. I was surprised - it does not have much give so it really fits in the shoulder area. The material inside the coat does not seem breathable and it has a slick feel, because of the climate where we live I decided to return. The climate here is to humid for the thickness of this coat.

Beautiful coat but the fit was not consistent with my usual LLBean orders in the past. Sleeves were a tad short and the bottom part of the coat had too much bulkiness. Loved the material of the mountain pile fleece but this one just didn't hit the mark. Returned and refunded.

This long fleece was not soft to the touch. In fact, I it seemed rather stiff for a fleece. The lining appeared to be cotton and caused friction when putting it on and taking it off. I really wanted to like it, but had to return it.

This was back ordered and finally came. The Large was NOT. I have one of the vests in large and it fits well. This coat wouldn't meet in the front and the arms were awfully tight. So disappointed! Off to the store to return it.

This fleece coat is warm, cozy, with deep pockets that hold your car keys safely. It is wind resistant and the hood is warm and does not smash your hairstyle. However, the zipper is beyond bad. Unless you line it up perfectly, it jams. I have had it for years; but, rarely zipped it; after our cold winter, I am ready to give it away due to its TERRIBLE ZIPPER!!

Really wanted to love this jacket. But it had a strange shape in the lower section that really stuck out at the sides. The interior is a stiffer material than I expected and the hood was huge.

Did not fit well. It was tight across the ribcage and seemed too long. Sleeves were too long. I loved the color and style from the pictures. It just did not fit right.

Unfortunately I returned this coat for refund. I ordered size Medium even though measurements said I should order a Small. It was too tight across the shoulders, and the bottom half was really wide. I didn't reorder.

I wear a Pxxs in LLbean coats. I was so happy this came in Petite sizes as I'm 5'2" 100 lbs. This coat is sized tight in the shoulders and the chest. I'm in a cold climate and I layer if I'm not going to be outside for a long period. I thought this would be great for an in-between coat but I can't wear a sweater with this, just a tee shirt, so I can't layer. Also, the top of the hood is unusually large at the top of my head. Great potential!

I love llbeans quality, this didn't hold up. The fabric was like another reviewer said "dog beddish" it wasn't soft. The fit wasn't flattering. I returned it. I'm 5' 120 the small did fit with room for a sweater underneath.

I live in ND and it's not even cold yet. I wore this today 30F and it was awful, did not block the wind in any way and was quite disappointing. Looks cute, comfy, but not worth the money if you want it to stay warm.
