Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Birchwood Brushed Waffle Full Zip Hoodie

Not worth the money. Sleeves were too short and the bottom was too wide/boxy. Just uncomfortable to wear so i ended up returning it.

Love the fit and style

Perfect to use for when there is a little chill in the air

This is super versatile and cute ! Medium weight for changing seasons! I got the raspberry color- darker pink? Color was spot on!

Nice quality. Fit is a little more snug than a sweatshirt. It you want a loose fit or want to layer more than a T-shirt I would order a size up.

Very cute, good fit and comfortable. I gave it one less star because I really love a nice contrasting drawstring around the hood and for the quality that L.L. Bean usually puts out I feel like the strings are very thin and they seem like something that just doesnt fit quality wise.

The fit is good and I like the fabric. I have not yet washed it. It's good for transitional fall weather.

Warm waffle knit.

Looks so much better than a regular zip up hoodie and the color choices are very nice.

First, I fell in love with the saddle color! I didn't like the fit of the top I ordered (relaxed fit mock turtle neck; was too warm to wear indoors), so I had to find something else in that color. My colors are "autumn." I went with this zip hoodie and it's so much better! It's kind of long, but I love tunics, so I'm ok with the length. I wear it over a t-shirt to walk my dog on warmer (but not very warm) days. It fits nicely and is more comfortable for some reason than the oversized mock neck top). This one is a keeper.

Like some other reviewers, I too had been searching for a good tunic hoodie to replace one I've had for over 20 yrs from another well known company. This was the closest I came and it wasn't the first wearing on a walk that I realized the initial washing did not remove the chemical odor. So I've now only worn it once and washed it 5 times and hung it outside in cold, sun, fresh air for hours, but still the smell remains. This is not good and chemical smells of any kind in products nowadays greatly annoys me. I notice it in jeans a lot too. Is it the dye? - I ordered the deep burgundy color. I feel now I must keep it and hope it eventually goes away. As for fit, I like to layer so chose the XL over L for that purpose and both fit ok. Sleeves are long and tunic length is nice. It's warm, but material seems heavy and feels like it doesn't "breathe" well. Nowhere near as soft as I like, although I think that will improve as it is washed. True as others also said, there is no shape to it in the waist and would be nice if the hood drawcord matched the color of the item. Hope LLB will pay better attention to the chemicals in their clothing.

Great quality and just the right amount of warmth. It will be perfect for when the nights get cooler.

Very nice sweatshirt. Very well made & warm. Ive washed it multiple times & it has kept its shape.

Nice color. Good weight but the fabric pills after wearing and washing.

It is warm and pretty. It is a nice alternative to a regular hoodie. Looks nice when going somewhere.

This is a very nice sweater with hood and pockets. Very warm.

Warmest hoodie I have had in a long time. Bought a second one!!! Like the long length!

I bought this as a Xmas present for my wife, and it is/was a big hit. She wears it constantly, and tells me how comfortable the fabric is. Its lightweight and yet warm. It looks elegant also, it certainly dresses up the hoodie concept and makes it nice enough to wear almost anywhere. Sizing was perfect.

I had some cotton waffle hoodies years ago that I loved - literally wore them to shreds. When I saw LL Bean offering something similar, I was so excited that I bought four of them (three black, one blue). Three months later, the fabric is super pilled, and grabs lint from out of thin air. They are still comfortable, but I no longer want to wear them in public because they look so shabby. I really would have expected better from a company like LL Bean -- especially at this price. I'm so sorry I bought them.

runs large, color isn't flattering on me, but comfortable

Super comfy, the petite fit is excellent. It is a mid-weight sweatshirt, good for layering.

Love this cozy zip hoodie! The waffle fabric is more polished than fleece (its casual work) but its lined so its substantially warm. The length is nice because its longer and covers my butt.

Nice material and good fit. I like the waffle weave. I would recommend this.

My teenage daughter loved this sweater! Warmer than other hoodies and the fabric texture gives it a unique look. I returned mine since I didnt like the longer length on me.

This hoodie was a Christmas Gift for my sister, who is in a Group Home. She loves it and it fits her beautifully. I bought her a Size XL and I would recommend this product to a friend or anyone. I like the quality of your clothes.
