Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Utility Jacket

So comfortable. Fabric is soft, not stiff, snaps are easy to snap. Easy to turn up cuffs (my arms are short). Plenty of room.

I normally wear a medium but it was too big so I ordered a medium petite and it fits perfect. I love the quality of the jacket, good, strong material with a little stretch for bending.

It seemed like a good quality jacket. But I found it to run large and had to return it. Im 55, 125 lbs, and the size Small was much too large for me, especially in the sleeve length.

Nice weight, fits great. Thank you fit assistance!

I love everything about this jacket except its a little high waisted for me. I am trying to decide if I can keep or return.

Great quality, looks great on, fairly roomy. Mine is a M. For reference I am 5'4", 150 and and 34D. I can wear long sleeves and the jacket comfortably. This is a great Fall jacket.

I really wanted to love this jacket, but the material was stiff, and it could have been a bit more stylish for me. It was a return for me.

I love LLBean but this jacket is a tad bit too rustic for what I was looking for. It's more like their barn coats. The sleeves were tight so I am returning it in exchange for a larger size. Hopefully that'll fit. I can't find what I'm looking for and this was as close as I could get to it. So hopefully the bigger size will fit. It'll just have to do.

This fits and wears more like a shirt. I really wanted to like it but didnt want to spend over $100 for a shirt.

Cute styled jacket but just not flattering on my short frame and felt stiff. Not soft and comfortable.

Love this Jacket! Comfortable, practical, and looks great! I receive so many compliments when wearing it. It does run on the smaller side, so I would buy a one size up when ordering.

Great quality and fit. I'll be wearing this jacket for years to come.

I have been looking for a utility jacket like for a long time, but I am petite with small shoulders, so sizing is always a challenge for me. LOVE the drawstring that gives some definition to avoid feeling boxy. The XS fits so well (I am 5"2" 117lbs) with some room to layer, but LL Bean take note, this Petite sized jacket is too long for a petite woman's body, going all the way to the bottom of my bottom. If I could shorten it 2-3" I would, but the zipper goes all the way to the bottom. Unfortunately, the search continues.

Great Jacket! I chose the green due to it can be worn with blue, black and grey jeans. I wish it's waist draw cord was lower as I am long waisted and big busted. I got the 3 X as I live in the NW and we layer out here. I can fit my fleece vest or light sweatshirt under. I like the length. I am 5'4". I would like to see double pockets, with a top entry flap pocket under the slash pockets. I've been a 40 yr fan of the old LL Bean Barncoat style until his came out. The weight seems good for our warming planet. The fabric, stitching closures etc are all nicely done. If waist was longer and it had the additional pockets, I'd give it 5 stars!

Really like the jacket, comfortable and fits well. Has plenty of pockets and like the covered zipper too.

The jacket is a good fit, I like the color (inky blue) and I know that I will use it often. My only exception is that it is a heavy garment. All in all it is a good quality and looks very nice.

I love the jacket, the style and especially the color. Unfortunately, it was too long, so I had to reorder the same jacket in a Petite. Now, I have to wait to wear it until November.

LLBean products rarely disappoint, but this jacket was an exception. The fabric was a heavier weight than I expected, and the design and fit didn't match my expectations. I returned it.

I like the color and quality of the jacket; however, I was disappointed in the style. It has a shirt-tail hem instead of straight (as the "old" style had) and diagonal pockets instead of the horizontal flap pockets. I very much prefer the former style. This current style is much more casual. Not as stylish or sharp.

I like the style of this jacket, but the material is thinner than I expected and needed ironing before wearing. I anticipate that it will require ironing after washing, as well. I have other jackets in stretchy materials that don't need the extra care. I like the colors that are available and thought I would be purchasing this item in other colors, but I'm very disappointed in the quality of the fabric especially considering the price of the item of over $100. I think I may choose dry cleaning to keep the jacket crisp-looking, but increases the expense of owning it.

Nice looking but i thought the material was light and flimsy.

This item was changed from previous version but not for the better. Material is nice, but find no lining a deal breaker.

Quality materials and well made. It's just a little bulky for me. I was going to keep it anyway but the collar area does something I can't deal with. Constantly in my face. The search continues

Loved the jacket, wore it all the time. Purchased 2 years ago and snaps no longer work. The rest of the jacket could live on but I don't want to have to zip it up all the way all the time, that's why I got a jacket with this option. If you think a good jacket should only last about 2 years then ok, only I expected more from the Bean.
