Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Utility Jacket

I saved up all my bean bucks so I could order this jacket. It is a great look and size is true. The material flexes. However it flexes in a weird way at shoulders that makes it almost look like puffed sleeves. So disappointed. Wanted to love it but returned it

Love the color. But this no lining whatsoever. A bit tight in arms when layering

Nice jacket true to size. The neck line does not look right unless it is zipped all the way up.

Unflattering flare at the hip. Tends to wrinkle. Nice color.

I had the version of this jacket from 2 years ago, which I unfortunately lost and wanted to replace. The quality is still excellent, but the new version has a shirt-tail hem, different hip pockets which are smaller and don't snap, and big chest pockets which are not flattering, so I returned it. So sad!

Nice well made jacket, but only 28" in length, which is not very flattering. Measurements would be better than low hip, high hip, etc.

I own several of these jackets in different colors that I like a lot, so I was all set to order a new one - until I noticed that there are no snaps or other closures on the pockets, as my older versions all have. Sorry, that's a deal breaker for me. Not sure why LLBean changed the pockets, except to save itself some money. But in the process, they eliminated a feature that's important to me and perhaps to other customers, too.

I love the color, but the wrinkles are awful. Even after washing and drying it the wrinkles didn't come out.

Sleeves too long. Other petite products fit, not this

Petite was too small across my back and the sleeves still too long.

It seemed like a good quality jacket. But I found it to run large and had to return it. I'm 5'5", 125 lbs, and the size Small was much too large for me, especially in the sleeve length.

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

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.

The jacket I received had white spots on the front. I returned it.

I wish this came in tall sizes. For me at 5'10", the sleeves were short and the waist cord too high. Too bad because the fabric and styling were lovely.

I just received this today. There is no lining, the color looks faded (i purchased deep olive) & the fabric is very thin. Sizing is tts, there is plenty of room to wear a heavy sweater underneath. I do like the adjustable waist string & the pockets, but IMO this is a shirt, not a jacket.

Too stiff and heavy for my taste. Wish I'd have sent it back. Loved the color and imagine others who like such "farmey" things would like it. However it is too heavy for warm weather and not warm for cool weather.

Looking for something warmer. This is like a bulky canvas shirt.

The sizing at LL Bean is not consistent and very frustrating and annoying

I bought this to wear for rose gardening, and I was so disappointed that they did not build it with room in the shoulders/back to move your arms while working. I thought LL Bean would build an actual work jacket, but the whole jacket lifts up when you raise your arms. I loved everything else about it including the fabric, but I returned it because it's clearly not designed for people to actually work in!

Not the fault of the jacket, but I thought it would be a different style. It looked very militaristic, and I was expecting more of a barn or utility jacket. for someone else might be perfect. By the way, the customer service at L.L. Bean was excellent.

Style of jacket is great. However, the jacket is heavy and with no lining, it's almost impossible to get it on since it catches and drags against anything you are wearing, except perhaps a silk blouse. Too bad, I really wanted the jacket.

I'd love to keep this but it weighs a ton. It'd be a pain to lug around.

This fits and wears more like a shirt. I really wanted to like it but didn't want to spend over $100 for a shirt.

It's nice, but it runs shorter wasted than pictured.
