Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Utility Jacket

Love it. I'm 5'7' and 165 lbs and chose size Large. The dark grey color is deep and goes with everything. It's a great fit with a slight stretch to the fabric. There is room for a sweater layer, if needed, but doesn't seem too roomy over a t-shirt. I'm sure this will work well through three seasons in the mid-atlantic state where I live.

Fabulous fit and style, sizing great for a small frame. I bought the jacket in two colors.

I am usually between M and L in LL Bean items, and have shorter arms but a long torso. I went with the petite L so I'd have room for a sweater underneath and it was the right choice. The overall length and arm length are both perfect. The tiniest bit of stretch makes this really easy wear. I find the style helps a very casual outfit look more put together. I've gotten a number of compliments on the color (deep olive). The ability to cinch the waist a bit adds nice shape to my figure, and the curved hem detail gives it just enough interest to make it special. Very pleased with this purchase!

I purchased a size Small in the Olive color. I loved everything about this jacket except the shoulders. My shoulders are a little broader than most women my size - 5'4" approx 114 lbs. If I just only going to wear one top under the jacket, it would have been okay. But I have how many jackets that fit like that??? You get the idea. Anyway, love this jacket. It was a great fit for me everywhere else except the shoulders. Returned it. So sad!

It's a good light jacket for days when you could wear a hoodie but you don't want to wear a hoodie. I see a lot reviews about how warm it isn't. It's a solid jacket to wear on a cool windy day over a sweater or t shirt. 50s and 60s. Maybe upper 40s. It's dressier than a hoodie, but on the flip side if you're walking through woods in it for some reason, then it'll protect you from briars. I got it for March in Ohio in a cold year and it has worked out great.

Bought this a few weeks ago, Fits great and warm enough for chilly spring days.

I can always count on LL Bean petite jackets fitting my 5' tall body. And they are always well made with nice features.

I have 4 other jackets in this style. Get compliments a lot .Saw the Redwood color, which was perfect for me. When I received it , the color is a cross between orange and color, nice, yet not what showing. Took it back and did a reorder. The 2nd color isn't anything like what it shows in catalog or on the page on my phone. It's the same as the first. They apparently made a mistake, to my disappointment, with the color. The picture shows a rustic redwood color. Sad it's not correct because I love my jackets.

Love this coat! Fits well, attractive, wore it on a recent trip, comfortable

Always a home run. Love L.L.Bean I buy for me and my sons and always perfect

I had my eye on this style for a long time. Great customer service and an honest response from a terrific employee at the Indy store helped me choose the right color. Extremely comfortable and incredibly flattering. Great over a LL Bean windbreaker!

Bean style and quality all the way. Cute versatile jacket.

I bought this several months ago for the spring weather, I like that you can adjust the fit.

I love this Jacket. Perfect fit and great color. Received so many compliments.

Seriously my favorite jacket ever. This is my 4th BeanFlex Utility Jacket over a span of years, and the Faded Redwood is gorgeous. The color is surprisingly versatile and creates an instantly pulled together, happy look. The new styling details are a non issue and the jacket is super flattering.

I love this jacket, the fit is perfect, love love the color. Lightweight so it is perfect for spring or fall.Edwina

Nice, versatile style. Good quality. Could've used petite, but still fits okay

Nice looking, clean cut and can adjust for fitted look. Great quaity.

Took this jacket to Africa on safari. It was perfect. It's a great piece for Florida winters too! It's got a nice weight. I've already washed it and it came out perfect. Fits true to size and looks great on!

As for me this is really a nice jacket perfect weight for spring and fall. I ordered Faded Redwood. Initially I questioned this color but am glad I made this decision. It is just enough muted color so as not to be boing. I have received several compliments.

This jacket is made from a very nice fabric and I like the drawstring waist. It's a good weight for a range of temperatures. It blocks the wind well too.

I love this jacket. It's a nice crispy material, good quality, and it fits me well. I turned the cuffs up and I love that look.

I am getting a lot of use out of this nice heavy cotton fall jacket. I am not a big person and don't like collars that are often just too much around my neck .This standup neck can be zipped up or snapped up or just let loose. I like the length and the pockets. Recommend it.

This is a great looking and fitting spring/fall seasons jacket. It's just what I wanted. I love the olive green color and the drawcord feature which allows for some shaping. I also like that it has the zip or snap front option.

This is the perfect lightweight jacket I've been searching for. My favorite part is the drawstring to cinch the waist. This allowed me to size up in preparation for sweater weather while still being able to wear it in tee shirt weather. I've already worn it enough to warrant a washing and it held up perfectly.
