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

Coat WAY too small, so I am donating to local Goodwill so a deserving person can get a very good coat!! And also won't buy XL, becuz I suspect it too would run small!! The coat itself is beautiful!!

It didn't fit well and the zipper would not go well. My other X-large from Bean fit very well. Also I did not like texture.

I expected this long jacket to be warm and cuddly, but it was stiff and uncomfortable.

The outside fleece is nice but the lining is uncomfortable and spongy looking

This coat is itchy and runs small. My normal size is 4-6 and so ordered the small but felt constricted. So I returned.

Runs small (ordered based on their recommended size) and theres no stretch.

Looks so soft and cozy in the pictures but felt like a rough cheap material. Also the color was way more purple than mauve.

i am very disappointed in this coat. The fabric looks very cheap & raggedy. I will be returning.

I've never had this happen with a coat From ll bean Before! I went to try it on and I could hardly even get my arms through the sleeves. It is a beautiful fleece coat approximately 2 sizes too small. I was really looking forward to wearing this but it's going back.

Love the jacket but inside is the problem. This jacket needs some kind of lining other than the backside of the fabric, it's a rubbery lining that's had to get on and sticks to whatever you're wearing.

Didn't like the way the lower portion went out, probably because of the pockets. Love the style. I returned it and waiting for refund.

I always buy a medium in Bean coats and they are usually perfect for me. This medium fits like it is an XS. I would like to try a large but it seems like that would not be large enough. Such a cute coat. I will be returning it next week. I was excited. Now I am disappointed.

As a pretty fit person, I have wider shoulders and hips but a small midsection. This coat is very thick in the waist so it was pretty unflattering. I wish it had a drawstring in the middle. The material was comfortable but ultimately I returned it.

Not great - was way too small for me - lining very uncomfortable. I gave it to someone else. This is an example of imported workmanship. Disappointed.

Lovely, woodsy shade of brown and a nice "fleecy" feel but I had to send it back :( 1. Zipper did not want to just zip up and I gave it three tries. (Each time it would come off track and take one side of the coat up with it.) 2. The chest felt too tight when I lifted my arms. (I am 36C - 140 lbs.) 3. Sleeves are 2" too short. (I am 5'10")

Not soft. And it's so small. I could barely zip it and it's so tight in the arms. It looks like it's been worn.

I bought this coat with great hopes - it looked so cute on line. However, when it arrived, I found the fleece to be rougher than I expected and the seam that runs across the front, on top of the pockets only accentuated my middle aged tummy. Not for me - returned,

I wanted to love this jacket! I watched it for months to see if it went on sale. When I finally decided to purchase I was so excited. Unfortunately the arm length came just to my wrists. Who wants a winter jacket that doesn't keep their wrists onto hands warm. Most have the built in half gloves. That would have made it for me. But for the price I will be returning. I needed to love it to spend that much.

Apparently the manufacturer of this garment does not realize that women have breasts. And the fleece is really tacky.

Love a tunic full zip fleece from the beloved sweater fleece, sadly no longer available, to this new style. This version, however, is quite bulky which is why I'm returning it, besides the fact the medium runs small and the large was huge. Sizing is off.

This coat just looked awfuL but I am eager to buy something I Love at LL Bean,-it's such a First Rate company.I know with my next purchase I will hit it exactly right and will be rating it 5 star.I didn't like the overall cut of the coat.The Waist was too Large.

Sleeves are short not for tall women. Did not like the color.

weird looking, not soft, not flattering, good length. The length was perfect. but the coat looked oddly bulky at the shoulders and arms and was not fitted enough at the waist. 5'7', 163 lbs

I bought this coat/jacket in the creme color in a size large. I am 5'5" and 157 lbs. I am afraid that I will be returning it because it doesn't meet expectations on a few fronts. First, the sleeves are too snug, making wearing a substantial sweater underneath difficult. The New York City cold just seeps in through the broad seams in the unlined sleeves, so ultimately, although the item "looks warm" it really isn't. Second, the coat does not drape well and has a tendency to bunch up in the back along the waist area. Third, the coat is cumbersome to put on -- especially because the zipper tends to catch on the fleece. So, even though I received a few compliments from neighbors on the item when I took it on a trial wear, it really is not up to the quality and comfort that I have come to expect from LL Bean. Sadly, back to the drawing board for me!

Coat runs 2 sizes small. Returned immediately. Awaiting LLBean refund/response.
