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

As an avid walker in New England I was particular in what I was looking for in a jacket. Highest on the list was zipper pockets. Broke down and bought this. The zippers on the pockets and jacket itself are awful. Not a smooth glide at all. I have to take jacket off. Put keys and phone in jacket and lay on flat surface to use both hands to manhandle the zippers up. Put jacket on and hope I can get the front zipper to go up all the way. So disappointed and paying so much for this.

I did not like this coat. I love the shirt version so I thought I would purchase the long version. I did not care for the inside of the coat. It reminded me of some kind of rubber. It also ran small. I returned it.

The fleece is stiff and not cozy. The cut of the jacket is not flattering as it flares out below the waste.

I looked like a big blue bear when I tried on this coat. It was very bulky and the sleeves were way too long. The fleece was matted when it arrived and stayed matted even after I tried to fluff it up. I just envisioned a long winter covered in blue matted fur along with the fur of every other mammal I live with. You will not see me in the forest in this because when I hibernate, I do it in style.

Felt cheep and for the price you would think it would have a lining but it did not

It was unflattering and felt cheap. The pockets stick out and make hips look big

The coat is way too small for its size. You need to make your coats fuller so I can wear a sweatshirt underneath. They're not true to size. Also not as described. I did not like the style.

To long and runs big not my favorite purchase, returned

Am sending this back. Did not like the quality of the fleece, the size L was too small and the cut was uneven.

I want to purchase this jacket sooooooo bad but I know the sleeve length as well as the body will be too short for my ape arms and long torso. PLEASE, please, pretty please, LLBean, make Womens Tall in jackets, coats and heck, everything!!!! Please!

I was looking forward to a warm fleece I could feel snug inside but was disappointed to receive one with a sweatshirt exterior for the lining that was cool to the touch and not warm at all. The first fleeces I ever returned & it saddened me to do so.

Horrible, overpriced , zipper doesn't work , customer service is awesome though

I rarely have to return items from LL Bean and have been shopping here for decades. Lately I have noticed a change in the quality of some items. This coat was not cut correctly somehow. The arms were way to tight and the seams didn't follow the lines of the body. I am very disappointed in the workmanship and quality of this coat.

I wear XL in everything & it's always roomy. This won't close.

This is a wonderful coat! I love it! I live in NH, so it gets very cold. This coat is so warm and has very deep pockets that hold my phone and keys. I love it; best coat ever. < 3

Scratchy, bad fit, not at all like I thought it'd be

I would not give it any stars. Do not buy this coat. The lining smelled so bad. The lining was doubtful. The color was beautiful. How sad. Where was this made?

I got this a few days ago and as soon as I tried it on, I realized it wouldn't work. I wore it around my building, just to be sure. The texture isn't the way I imagined it would be (too rought) and the fit feels boxy and ill-cut. I had to return it and, of course, pay for that. I wish I could have ordered a couple other coats with this one, just to see which I liked best, and then been able to return with no penalty.

Sleeves were very snug. I expected the coat to be more stretchy. It wasn't comfortable, but I liked the style. I returned it.

Ordered 2 winter coats. They were BOTH too small. I don't know who makes your coats but you need to change vendors! I had to send both back. You therefore lost over 400 $.

Runs super small and looked cheap. I was so disappointed plus I didn't get my refund! LL Bean sent me a merchandise card. Double letdown!!!!!!

I returned this item because it was too small to fit over winter clothes and the zipper stuck as I was trying it on.

S0 wanted to love this but found it very stiff (for a Berber fleece), weight felt like an extra 10 pounds. Not good! Returned it.

chose size according to chart but coat was very unflattering to wear, had to return

I wanted to love this coat but I am sending it back after much self-deliberation. The fit was ample in the main body, pockets great, nice high neck, color was good, but not the sleeves . . if dressed in two layers. I am quite thin and two layers is my thing all winter, so removing a layer to wear it seemed impractical. If the lining of the sleeves was the same as the backing of the pockets, I think the smoother surface (as in back of pockets) could have been perfect. The coat is something different for style and fabric from my winter down apparel and had great appeal to me otherwise. Hard to rate it unworn - but based it on hoped for expectations.
