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

Nice flannel shirt, but a bit large. I would have preferred to be able to wear shirt outside pants, but looks a bit tent like. Ok when tucked in. Hopefully it will shrink a little after being washed and dried. Considering returning it for a large. I always find xl fits me well, but this is a little bigger than expected.

Little disappointed. I buy most of my husbands clothes at L.L.Bean, and for the first time, I am not thrilled with the shirt. Only complaint is that the collar, after laundering, does not fold back the way it should, so it needs to be ironed--not my favorite thing.

First purchased the large in traditional fit but it was much too large. Exchanged it for a medium in "Slightly Fitted" and that fits perfectly. It is warm and comfy and washed without shrinkage, but does require a little touch-up ironing.

The material is fantastic and fits great throughout the shoulders and chest but is pretty blousy in the lower trunk so it fits more like a pajama top. It's fine for lounging or working outside but I don't think I'd wear it out of those circumstances. It'd be perfect if there were a slim or athletic cut available.

This review may not make it into publication because it's pretty out there. I had been DYING to order the women's Black Stewart relaxed fit shirt and thought if I waited till mid-Oct, I could certainly still get it. Wrong. My size in that women's shirt has been sold out for a long time. I actually bought this men's shirt out of desperation. Since I am pretty good with a sewing machine, I figured I could remodel it. It didn't turn out too badly --- I added a slight curve to the waist and shortened the sleeves. But I now think I should have just accepted the fact that the women's version was no longer available. So that's my story.

I ordered 1 size bigger because of the shrinkage.i like a looser fit

I have washed this item twice now and have had a large amount of lint in the dryer. The fabric is not as soft as the one I bought last year. Very disappointed

I really liked the styling, color and feel of this shirt. It's warmer than many flannel style shirts but I was concerned since the sleeve length was so long. I ordered two more shirts in medium and they fit perfectly. Since many other Bean shirts I purchased were a Large, I think this style runs a bit larger than others.

Too big doesn't mean it doesn't fit. The shirt is awesome quality. Bet I'll be wearing it for lots of cold seasons. It is a little too roomy in the torso and I have seen a lot of reviews saying sleeves were too roomy and long. I don't have a problem with that. Normally buy flannels in L and just don't dry them to avoid shrinking. This I will dry once after the first wash (before I wear) to see how well it shrinks to fit better. Overall not displeased at all, just if you don't want to hassle with what size is best, my bet is go 1 size down from normal flannel size; but drying often may make it too shrunk after a while. Sizing and fitting style is not bad, just a little bigger than you think it will be. (Depending on if you're a guy with mass or with a scrawny build)

I normally wear a size large but this shirt swallows me. It fits fairly well on the shoulders but the sleeves are about 4 inches too long and it's very roomy through the body. I really like the look and feel of the shirt and have ordered a size medium, hoping that it will be a better fit. Fingers crossed.

This shirt is great! So soft and comfortable. The only thing is that it seems that all clothing companies (not just LL Bean) seem to be making everything bigger. I had an old XL shirt like this that fit great, but this one fits a little bigger than I would have expected.

I was disappointed in after wearing one time many of the buttons fell off or need to be resewed. Ralph

I mistakenly ordered this, not realizing it was NOT a chamois shirt. I wear chamois shirts from October to May. But this shirt has its place. It is between summer (canvas shirts for me) and winter (chamois shirts). It seems well made and fits nicely in the period between summer and winter (in Wisconsin).

This is not the same quality of material as the one I've had for 2-3 years as it needs more touch-up ironing. Otherwise the color is great and it feels good to wear.

Beautiful shirt. Sleeves were very long. Returning it for a size smaller.

I bought the shirt online and really liked the blue in the MacBeth Old Colours version. When I got the shirt, the blue was darker and a muddier shade. When I opened the package, included was a flier for the plaid shirts, and the blue in the flier was a prettier, lighter, clear blue. The color in the catalog was also a prettier blue. I was very disappointed, and sent it back. Four stars for not being the same color as all their advertising.

The shirt was comfortable from the first time I wore it. nice and soft as a flannel shirt should be.

very nice weight; soft and warm. Fit's great. Color is rich and real nice, Only issue is the material doesn't lie flat; not wrinkles but waves across the flat surface. My earlier Bean flannels lie flat. I'm going to try ironing it to have it lie flat. Bit of a new issue for me on a flannel shirt.

should return it for smaller size, runs big

Beautiful, soft flannel shirt. Get true to size and follow care instructions, because the cotton will shrink in hot water. This flannel is not as dense as the material of older manufacture - like the great US made shirts, but is better than most. I would continue to order from LL Bean.

Nice shirt, well constructed and comfortable. It does however run very large in the body. Wish I had gone down a size.

I purchased this same flannel shirt over 10 years ago for my husband and finally had to replace it due to a worn collar. I chose the same pattern, and it's as soft and cozy as before. My only negative comment is that there is some shedding of loose fibers after washing it a few times. I hope this is something that will stop after a few more washes. Otherwise, it's a great shirt.

It was ok just way to large. I have reordered another & sent this back

Bought this for my boyfriend who is a small and it definitely seemed more like a medium. It was pretty loose, it's way too long, and the sleeves are a tad long. Other than that it's a great flannel! Very soft material!! Hopefully it will shrink in the wash.

This flannel shirt is very soft and beefy. I purchased a man's tall to duplicate the one I found and fell in love with in a thrift shop years ago. Because it was oversized I wore it as a jacket, robe, sleep shirt, etc when visiting my daughter in chilly NH. My only complaint is the tag at the neck is scratchie, hard and very uncomfortable. I spent much of Christmas morning with a seam ripper to carefully remove the tag, and still made two small holes that thankfully did not go all the way through. Makes no sense to have that kind of a tag on a soft, comfortable garment...otherwise I would have rated it 5 stars.
