I love the jacket but I did have to go up a size. I read all the reviews myself and still ordered my normal size but the sleeves were a tad short and it was small throughout. I realized that no accommodations are made for size with the fleece lining. That's why they run small. If you order one, and you should because it is an awesome jacket, order a size bigger because the fleece takes up the room.
I have had this item for a total of two hours and have not taken it off. The quality is superior. Feels like a combination of silk and sued. Fits like i had hope it would. Will definetly order more of these. Once again L.L .Bean has put out a great product.Thanks L.L. Bean.
So glad I read the reviews and ordered a size up. The hoodie is fitted but does allow for sweaters underneath. My normal size would have been perfect for short sleeve tee but not for anything heavier. I ordered the Vintage Rose and just love the color. It will go with all my fall pants whether brown, olive, navy or black. Just may need to try in another color as well for when this is in the wash.
