Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Warm-Up Jacket Regular

The jacket is very handsome, and of top quality. However it did not fit me and is way too warm for Santa Barbara CA. Not the fault of the jacket. I'm 94 and difficult to fit.

we will be returning this. the recent cold snap of only 2 degrees exposed an issue with the other shell. it basically froze and it sounded like a frozen eco plastic bag while moving in the coat. I seriously expected the shell to crack into many pieces and fall out. after the coat warmed up in the car, it was better but I cant be sounding like a body size plastic eco bag everywhere outside during the winter.

I bought this jacket for my son this time because he has 5 others like it, just different colors. I started buying this jacket before it was a hundred dollars. I started with one and it just snowballed. My son loves that jacket. It's worth the money. It wears well, fits great, looks nice on and lasts a long time. I not only bought these jackets for my son but I bought 2 for my male friend of 18 yrs. Both wear this jacket all the time. I can't say enough about this jacket.

Poor fit 2xxl tall, was xl reg at best, returned item.

Not even close to the original jacket. Returned it.

The jacket is nicely made but poorly sized. My husband is a large man who routinely wears a 3XL, but this jacket was way too small, equal perhaps to an XL.

I buy this jacket every few years in a new color, and this year it has changed. Why llbean, why?! This was a perfect jacket. Now the fabric is plastic-like, and it makes noise when you move. The whole jacket is thin, the bottom band is tighter. It's just not the same jacket. The old style was so cozy and soft, thick and warm. This is so disappointing. If it ain't broke don't fix it. So sad. Have to find a jacket somewhere else now.

Poor fit. Tight across back at shoulders. Can't move arms well in it

I purchased this jacket at the LL Bean store in Colonie Center - New York. After a year, the right hand cuff developed a hole where it attaches to the sleeve. Disappointed in the quality.

Large is much too small despite being my usual jacket size.

Nice looking get nice complements plenty warm for a light jacket priced right

Such a disappointment. I should have listened to other reviewers who said this ran small. It was small/narrow throughout. Body length, sleeve length, just overall fit. My husband looked like he was stuffed into it. Mind you, he doesn't have any extra weight. We returned it and got a jacket elsewhere.

I have a great history with the high quality of LL Bean clothing and outerwear, but the introduction of this 3XL is horrendous. The fit is TERRIBLE. Who designed this? The fit on the top half is OK, but the bottom half is sized more for an XL. Couldn't even fasten it. Not even close! Not sure if the other coats are like this, but it cost me $6.50 in shipping return based on this serious disappointment.

Ordered a Large Tall. Not even close to being a Tall size. Then had to pay for return shipping!!

I guess if the jacket would have fit it would have been good, but it never fit, it ran way too small tho be size 2 X Tall, I own other Jackets that are 2 X Tall, and I just figured hey let me get an LL.Bean since alot of people I know rate theit clothes and jackets at such high standards, but OMG this experience was not only the worst, but finding a store to return the item was as bad. I wouldn't recomend this place at all.

I ordered it in my normal size XL and it was a snug fit. Also, one side of the collar would not stay properly. I returned it.

The color of this coat is dull and murky. This one's classic coat no longer has the brightness of color when they were made in the USA. The fit across the chest is tighter than a large used to be even though I'm still the same build and weight as 20 years ago. There's also some type of unpleasant faint scent that I cannot describe. It must be in the material. This was once a jacket I was proud to wear now however I do not recommend,

I own several LL Bean jackets, all are XXL. They fit great. I wanted the warm up mainly because it came in Navy. Imagine my disappointment when the jacket was too small...all over. I was going to return it, but decided to give it away to a charity. Too bad it didn't fit...

I had purchased one of these coats maybe 15 years ago. I still have it (color red, size medium), over the years I started to wear it when doing work that slowly affected the appearance so it wasn't appropriate to wear it out when appearance was important. This coat (that I bought 15 years ago), you could tell by wearing it and looking at it, was great quality. It had a feel to it when you wore it, that the lining was thick enough to keep you warm in cold weather but not too thick that inhibited movement. The outer material is supple enough to keep its appearance without wrinkling and does not make any noise while walking/moving. The fit was great. I decided to but a new one (green) about 2 years ago so I could use it when I wanted to go out and appearance was important. What a difference in quality!! The coat size was slightly smaller (medium ordered), the thickness of the lining was thinner but the biggest flaw was the outer shell. The material is almost plastic-like. This coat makes a lot of noise when you walk/move. It was embarrassing to wear it out in public and aggrevating to wear around the yard outside. I have noticed other items the LL Bean sells have had a decrease in quality over the years. At one time, LL Bean was my go to place for clothes, now I have to look other places to find what I need. I am not sure, but I think the different color of these coats are made at different locations (US, international?) resulting in quality that is not consistent (eg. size, color, material, etc). The reason I didn't return it was that, I thought maybe the material would wear in. Additionally, when this coat is subject to being stored or positioned and not hung on a hanger, it presents with so many wrinkles that don't go away easily. The second coat I bought hangs in a closet and is not used.

Truly, this is terrible. I'm old enough to remember ordering from Bean's b&w paper catalog with line drawings. If this jacket is what now passes for Bean quality, perhaps it's time for me to kick the rusty bucket and join the ranks of good old Leon Leonwood himself. The shell looks, sounds, and feels cheap and likely to rip at first abrasion. The fleece collar looks guaranteed to pill quickly and no longer Malden Mills (or comparable quality) fabric. The cuffs are flimsy and oddly constructed. If these were available in bulk to donate to winter shelters whose clients discard clothing, ten bucks a piece would be fair for the quality and presumed duration of use.

Use to always buy stuff. From ll bean the quality and customer service went WAY down hill. This jacket has arms big enough in width for 3 large men's arms. , the fabric felt cheap and made crinkling sounds whenever u move like a plastic bag was not warm either ...they told me no charge for return but they charged me anyway

I buy traditional shirts and love the way they fit. They are always loose and comfortable. The coat said our traditional fit and I was looking forward to wearing it, but it was so tight it was impossible to wear. I had to return it.

I am a long time customer wearing xxl reg. shirts and jackets recently I purchased a xxl warmup jacket and a xxl fleece sweater jacket.I am 30 lbs. less now than I have been in years,and neither jacket came close to fitting me .My old warmup jacket,fleece shirts and shammy shirts in xxl fit with room to spare.I love your products but don't feel comfortable any longer ordering on line.I am really sorry about this situation because llbean has great quality and value. but I hate buying only to have to return it. Thank you for a chance to express my feelings.

I have been purchasing items from LLBean for many years. I purchased a warm-up jacket to provide crossover from summer to winter. This review is for the second jacket received in the purchase. The first jacket I received had a collar that "draped" unevenly in that the right side of the collar was about 4 inches below the left side when left unzipped. The look reminded me of a comical drunk on a 1940's movie. I returned the first jacket with no problem. The second jacket arrived, collar was a bit limp at the back but the fit was OK. Then I noticed that "L.L.Bean" was embroidered on the left front of the jacket in slightly contrasting thread. My name is not "LLBean", I do not work for LLBean, and I paid full price for the jacket so I was disappointed to see the embroidery. This is a personal preference and it applies to most items I purchase. When I buy a car, the dealer always attaches a license plate frame with the dealer's number and name. That is first to hit the trash when I get home. If the dealer puts a decal on the car, it comes off with the aid of a heat gun. If I buy Levis jeans, the tag with size and the Levis trademark is removed with my penknife. Anything that I buy that has a logo will have the logo removed. If it cannot be removed then I do not buy it. I cannot remove the LLBean logo from the jacket so regretfully, I will return it and look for another. The return form included with the jacket does not provide for a description of the problem other than a reason code so I wrote this review to explain.
