I have looked at this sweatshirt in the catalog since last year. I finally bought it this year and LOVE IT!! It is my "go to" sweatshirt and is so warm. Will most likely have to buy another one and some for gifts as well. Have not washed it yet so hope it doesn't shrink.
I was again extremely pleased with my purchae. It is nice and warm and the appearance is stylish. As always, I am very pleased with your products. Thank you for making such nice looking clothes and reasonably priced.
The fleece is a quality made product, however for me it was not a good fit. I have always worn a size medium and I am still the same weight. Buying a large would mean the shoulders hang to low and the length is too long. I have many fleece sweaters, including jackets I still have from many years past that still fit perfect but your newer products have been redesigned to fit a very slender figure. Unfortunately I had to send this fleece back. I do wish LL Bean would still offer some of their clothing in the classic style that I have always loved. I will not give up...I will try to order another one in a different style
I was so pleased that you made a full zip fleece hoodie. I have missed having a hood. I ordered a large to have room to layer. It was at least a size to small. The princess style was to fitted and felt confining. It was generally to small. I would order an XL the next time, although I'm not sure it would feel roomy enough for me. The material is also a bit stiff for fleece.
