Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Peaks Island 1/4 Zip

I'm kind of disappointed with this LLBean pullover. While I like the style and the color, the fabric is thinner than I expected for French Terry. And I don't know why they added the rib knit panels at the side seams instead of continuing with the main fabric; they are also quite thin. I wish I had noticed this detail before I ordered it. The fit is tighter than I expected so not the best to wear layered over a turtleneck.

This is NOT a sweatshirt; it is a lighter weight fabric. It's not made to be worn for warmth, which is what I need for Ohio winters. The zipper is made of a heavy weight metal. It's uncomfortable against my skin and is too much for the light weight of the fabric. It lays very awkward. I am so disappointed with this shirt. I expect a much higher quality when I spend good money for something. I really wanted this pattern shirt in the version they had without the zipper, but that was apparently discontinued.

This wrinkles a lot with normal wash and dry. I just wear it wrinkled because I can't be bothered ironing. It comes out of the wash looking like you slept in it which os a style I suppose. Not at all soft. More like a rugby shirt than french terry. Otherwise it fits well, didn't shrink, is an attractive design and the yellow is a pretty color.

So disappointed in the decline in quality of LLB clothing. Prices are high but quality is lousy. This shirt looked pinkish, but it was more brown.

Poor quality fabric quality for the price. This probably cost $7 to make and then they put a 1200% mark up on it.

My only LL BEAN disappointment. Since I own it in blue I thought the material would be the same.

This was a disappointment. After first wash in cold water on gentle cycle the hem was all unraveling. It also needed to be ironed because it looked like I had slept in it. The material is quite thin.

Quite disappointed with the fabric. Washed and dried in medium setting and it still shrunk.

Really like this and it's nicely made but it shrunk (especially in the arms) when I washed it, show it doesn't fit as well as when I first got it. Disappointing.

I wanted to love this shirt so much - but - it shrank too much in the first wash. I ordered according to the size chart, and the shirt fit a little big pre-wash. I washed in cold water and tumbled dry on low and it's now too tight and too short to wear comfortably. I am super disappointed! I have another version of this one that I've washed and dried for years without it shrinking like this.

Even though I washed in cold water and dried on low, it shrank. The sleeves and length are shorter than I like. If you like, size up even if it seems big before washing.

Loved this! Crisp look! Bought this and almost bought another. But when I washed in cold water and air dried, it shrunk! So disappointed!

I recently bought two of these, having loved one I got last year. However, upon washing the new ones, the navy blue version shrank to child's size. I didn't keep the receipt since I'd had no problem with my previously purchased one, sooooo $70 for a shirt I could only wear once.

It is a nice pullover; however, I think quality control was on vacation the day they made it. There are loads of strings that need to be cut off. There were 5 to be cut on the sleeves, and I haven't made a count of the ones on the bottom. I am shocked that LL Bean would send out a product like this.

Super cute and looked great until I washed it. I washed it according to care instructions (cold machine wash and low dry) and it shrunk considerably. The material also puckered a bit after washing. Very disappointing because I loved how it looked on me for the initial wear.

I liked the look of it until I laundered it. It shrunk a size and came out with a very wrinkled look.

This shirt looked wrinkly after washing. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like that so I ironed it. That didn't help much. I love the color so I'm going to keep it but it's not the usual quality I expect from LL Bean.

Loved it when I first wore it. Perfect size, comfortable. Exactly what I wanted for a cool day. Then I washed it. As others have said, it shrank an entire size. Now the sleeves are too short, it's tight in the arms, it's shorter in the body just feels tight all over. Also, no longer as soft. Wearable, but not comfortable I'm so disappointed. Not what I expected from an LL Bean product.

I bought a Medium and it shrank way too much after normal washing, so I returned it. I bought a Large, and it still shrank, to about the same size that the Medium did. I like it and considered an XL (unheard of for me), but now it is backordered and I won't have it for my trip.

Wanted to love it but shrank at least a whole size when washed

Beautiful color but it shrunk a whole size, disappointing

When I received this beautiful top, I loved it. Beautiful color, texture, comfortable & fit great. I washed it once exactly as directed. I was so disappointed when I put it on. It shrunk and the texture had gone from smooth to a puckered look. Definitely not LLBean quality. Sadly I had to return it. I'm usually a huge fan of LLBean clothing but this one let me down.

I am disappointed with this shirt. When trying it on the first time, I thought it ran a little small, but felt it would be okay. But then I washed it and it shrank! I am always very careful to wash in cool or cold water and only put it in the dryer a few minutes, then line dry the rest of the way. But it shrank over an inch in length. This is not up to normal LL Bean quality. I would also like to see a placket underneath the zipper, so the metal of the zipper didn't lay on my skin.

Not sure why this was worth 70 bucks, it's thin and you can see my shirt underneath it. I'm surprised that the quality of LL has gone down so much over the years. It's very disappointing.

HUGE!!! If it has been remotely properly sized, I would have kept it. The fabric was nice and soft and the raglan sleeve style is great in a fitness top but it was so very oversized.
