This was a gift for my daughter. she liked it very much but I have no idea how it launders or is holding up...but my experience with any LL Bean product is that it holds up very well.
Terrific little jacket, soft, comfortable, fits well, fabulous colour - I got the Pacific Blue. Nice layering under a windbreaker when necessary. Glad I bought this, and if I were the clotheshorse type, I would buy more in different colours!
I ordered the zip hoodie in chocolate and I did not like the color. I expected a dark chocolate. Instead I got milk chocolate. I reordered this item in Sea Rose which coordinates well with the fitness fleece dark brown "Black Coffee" vest. The chocolate does not coordinate at all with the Black Coffee vest.
