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

I bought this shirt after returning the chamois one that didn't look or fit well for my husband. This shirt was really nice looking, material was soft yet strong and it fit him perfectly at a XL3. I may be another one for him next year for a gift.

These Scotch Plaid flannel shirts are made of great soft flannel. I usually wear a regular large so that's what I ordered. They fit well everywhere except the sleeves are a little too long. When I compared the sleeves length to my other large shirts,they are a inch longer than the others. I hope they'll shrink a little.

Have bought several of these great shirts in different colors. My favorite of all the plaid colors is the "Princess Mary" green color. Bought one a few years ago, then you discontinued it. Of all my shirts it was my favorite. Have hoped every year since you would bring it back. See you brought it back for the ladies ... what about the men?

I have bought an LLBean flannel shirt for my husband for Christmas for over 35 years. This was the first time that it had to be ironed before being worn. It was a mass of wrinkles, not the usual LLbean shirt experience. It did iron nicely and looks fine now.

My husband looks very handsome in his new flannel shirt, however it does run a little large.

Pretty shirt, wondered if anything would be left after laundering the first time. The dryer vent needed to be cleaned every 10 minutes!! 2 of these shirts in with blue jeans.............

This is one of my favorite shirts: comfortable, fits well, looks great. So why the 4 stars? For whatever reason they used two small white pieces of fabric to secure the buttons used for the collar. They stick out like a sore thumb on a dark green shirt. I've had numerous people tell me that I have two stickers on the inside of my shirt, which they're not... just poorly placed pieces of fabric. They could/should have used something dark to blend in with the shirt. Rather frustrating.

While my husband loved the feel, thickness, and colors of these shirts, the XL was huge on him and that's what he usually wears. However, the exchange process is simple and already in the mail. LL Bean provided a free return shipping label so that was perfect! Love this company!!! My only complaint is the shirt seemed too big.

Loved the shirt as it was warm and soft. Has worn it a couple of times since Xmas due to low temps

These flannel shirts are a good value. I have owned better ones but at twice the price . . . and a lot of premium brands including Brooks Brothers no longer sell flannel shirts. The only complaint I have is that the shirt tails could be an inch or 2 longer if you want to tuck them in. I have worked in the apparel business for about 13 years and cannot understand why many brands insist on saving a few pennies an item at the risk of losing customers. A couple pennies don't really matter to most consumers. Quality, fit and service are what matters.

Fits well feels soft

I buy these every year, but with lack of newer designs or returning to some great older patterns, I buy fewer. A excellent flannel shirts in any case.

I love the vibrant colors and the feel of these flannel shirts. But they seem a bit too large, and the sleeves are a bit too long. I hope that they shrink over time.

This is a well tailored shirt. I'm stocky so shirts tend to have sleeves that are too long and too tight in the torso. However, the traditional fit works well for me. The pattern (Dress Gordon) looks just like the website/catalogue. There was not too much shrinkage. I might get another in a different pattern. Some have complained that the flannel is thinner than other years but I live in New Orleans and it doesn't get very cold so this works well as a cold weather shirt. At worst, I can add a t shirt and a light jacket for our coldest days.

My husband has three of these shirts, two are a few years old. He loves them all but the sleeve length on the new one is almost a cuff's width longer than the others. I ordered a second one to see if the length was better, but it was exactly the same. His usual shirt size is Large with 33-34 sleeve, so the sleeve length on this shirt must be 35-36. I guess maybe the manufacturer changed their specs. My husband likes the shirt, so he folds the cuffs back and happily wears it.

I love the fabric, the pattern and the styling. I am overweight and had to take a larger size, but otherwise it is virtually an ideal shitt

I was a bit disappointed as the flannel was thinner than I expected. Other than that, the colors are great and match the colors illustrated in the catalog or online. If it's chilly outside, I'd recommend you wear a lightweight mock turtleneck under it.

I've been buying these shirts for years. Bought a couple last year, just bought one a month ago. Some of the more muted colors (Black Watch, Lindsay, Grey Stewart) are really nice. I get compliments on the colors, and who compliments men about their flannel shirts. You do have the same problem with sizing that you find on other Bean shirts. Too big and not consistent. I have two mediums and measured the arm length. One is 2" longer than the other. How can that be? I am 5'8", 160 lbs. Always bought mediums. I just bought a small based on customer reports. It fits OK if I'm sedentary, but is a little tight if I have long underwear on and am working. But the medium is too big. I guess I should try a fitted medium, see what that is like. I wish it was a medium today, a medium tomorrow, and a medium forever. I have no problems with washing, pilling, ironing, etc. I do NOT machine dry the small.

First flannel shirt in 20 years. Decent quality but lacks the body of flannel shirts of bygone years, but softer to the touch. The fit runs somewhat larger than anticipated. Additional color choices would be nice. Overall, I feel that afer a couple of washings and dryings it will prove to be a good choice. It is priced $10 too high.

....the collar buttons down. My husband hates button-down collars and he won't wear them. Would you please give us Scotch Plaid Flannel Shirts without buttons on the tips of the collars. Today I bought him a three-season chamois shirt instead. Not as pretty, but at least the collar doesn't button down and he will wear it. Bean used to sell these shirts without the buttons, so I know you can do it.

Bought this as a gift for someone. It fit the person good and they were pleased with it.

Have been purchasing these shirts for my husband for quite some time. They are ideal for layering over a long-sleeved LL Bean T-shirt and often take the place of a jacket in our milder winters. The quality of the flannel is good, and the relaxed fit makes the shirt comfortable.

I received the Grey Stewart flannel shirt as ordered. Shipping was on time and well packaged. I was expecting a little heavier material in this shirt. It is very true to the size chart and the colors are beautiful. Just not a heavy as I thought it would be.

The LL Bean Scotch Plaid flannel shirt is comfortable and warm, and has a soft feel. I am buying after many years, and the fit of the sizes for me is still a bit uncertain, so be careful about this.

This is a good buy. It is heavy enough without being overly heavy. The quality of the construction is very nice too.
