Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Shirt Traditional Fit

Now THIS is what a flannel shirt should be! Bean shirts might be more expensive, but I've got 2 -- maybe I'll buy one more and I'll be set on flannel shirts for life. If I could change one thing, it would be to have a button to hold the pocket closed a bit.

washed many times. still looks same as when purchased

Will purchase again and recommend it highly.

Fit just like the description said.

looks good, fits well and a cut above in overall quality

I have bought these shirts for every man in my family and they all love them. They are warm and perfect for fall and winter. They fit true to size and the colors are great. They can be dressed up or down. They make a great gift. I am sure I will be ordering more as I give them for Christmas every year.

Ordered this for my son in law and he LOVED it. Fit perfect and true to size.

Purchased for husband. Great weight flannel, perfect for Midwestern fall and winter seasons. Launders nicely, no shrinkage.

The shirt had great fabric, great workmanship, fit well and is comfortable. I love this plaid.

Everything about this shirt has met or exceeded my expectations. It has not had a lot of wear in our very warm autumn so far but I don't expect any disappointments. Well made, nice material, great fit, nice color selection and excellent service from LL Bean.

There is no flannel like L.L. Bean flannel. These are my cool weather, come home from the office, and put something on comfortable shirts. They're soft. They're warm. They hold up. They may be my kids' inheritance.

Bought this for gift to my dad for his Birthday. He loves warm and soft flannel shirts that he can only get from LLBean! Absolutely loved it! He has already given me his next order of colors he wants! LOL!

I've never been disappointed by the quality of products. Love the colors. Looking forward to cool weather so this can be put to work.

Flannel shirts have always been great.

Please, please return to your basic red plaid shirts. I've worn mine out and don't wear the others I've bought, although they are just as comfortable, as much as the red plaid.

I purchased three different colors of the Scotch Plaid shirt and they arrived much quicker than expected. Sadly, although I wear an XL in other high-end shirts from different manufacturers, these flannel shirts run exactly like the L L.Bean Chamois shirts which I had also purchased at the same time; i.e., way too large. Upon receipt and after trying them on, I had to return them for a size Large, as the XL was just much too baggy. It should be noted that just to be safe, I had also purchased three Chamois shirts in a size Large and although the Large size is also roomy (a bit baggy), the sleeve length is fine. It should also be noted that even when wearing a long sleeve thermal undershirt beneath the size XL, these Scotch Plaid Flannel shirts, as well as he Chamois shirts, still fit much too large for my liking in my 'regular'/'normal' XL size. I know that I'll be receiving the size Large Scotch Plaid replacements quickly, as L.L.Bean has excellent customer service. I will keep the size Large in hopes that they will shrink a bit. From now on, I will be purchasing the Scotch Plaid Flannel shirts and the Chamois shirts in a size Large, as I'm sure that a size Medium will become just too small after washing...cheers.

first, thanks to bean for bringing back the Black Stewart Tartan. last offered 5 years ago or so, i'm happy to see a true classic return. i stocked up this time, just in case. this review has 2 purposes: first, to counterbalance the recent negative review that i saw before ordering, claiming that the quality on these has gone down; the fabric isn't what it was, more pilling than usual, etc. definitely not: the same quality as 5 years ago, when i started buying w/bean. i always wash new shirts twice immediately on receiving, precisely to test them. flying colors this time, as always. same materials, same craft. the fabric plumps & softens, extremely minimal pilling observable only if looked for hard, as will be true of the highest quality flannel fabric. i'm as pleased as ever with the quality, which is high. and second, to mention a possible caveat: bean, i could be wrong, but it seems that the collars on these are slowly getting smaller over the years. if that's the case, we want to put the brakes on that, and get back to, and maintain, the traditional higher collar that's made these shirts special in these ever-changing times. function comes first, and 'neck snuggle', whether the collar is up Or down, is a huge part of what a flannel is about. if we've started to drift a bit, let's return the traditional fit design to just where it's traditionally been at, and keep it there. thanks. summary: great shirts, as always, bean. thanks for bringing back the black stewart tartan, and for maintaining your tradition and your quality. i'm Very happy with my purchase. *for reference, guys, i'm 5'10"/175 lbs, and the XL works best for me. i like a bigger, cozy fit; no restrictions when moving. if you for whatever reason prefer a closer-to-the-body fit, you might prefer the L. but after warm washing & normal shrinkage, i find the XL's sleeves to come down just where my wrist likes 'em, and the hem to hang low enough to effectively tuck, but not so low that it'll look weird if you don't. just right. hope this helps.

the fit, comfort, softness, durability, color, lasts for years

This is a wonderful comfortable shirt. We spend falls in the mountains and it is perfect to keep warm!

I bought this shirt expecting it to be soft and comfortable. It is both. I have washed it a couple of dozen times and it continues to be perfect. Comes of dryer perfect.

Good fir, nice weight, comfortable. I would and have bought this item again.

Excellent quality. I own 4 of these. Highly recommended!

This Scotch plaid has a distant look and feel. Great for the "winter" in the Bay Area of San Francisco.

Great flannel, nothing beats Bean flannel. Color choices and quality are terrific. It's the kind where you get a bunch in multiple patterns. Awesome with Bean jeans and not too bulky, even with a good tuck. Tucks well, also wears well on the outside. Awesome when paired with Bean pull-overs.

Shirt sizes run large. I usually wear large with other brands, but LL Bean's medium fits perfectly. I live in So. Calif., so I probably wear flannel shirts 6 months of the year. They are heavy enough that I don't usually need a jacket during our cooler season, yet they are not so heavy that they are too warm to wear indoors. I usually don't tuck in so I wish they made a version that was flat bottom for untucked wear. I have at least 6 of these shirts in different colors.
