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

I got what I expected. A good fit and good quality.

Soft and nice colors. The fit is a bit too ample on my not particularly svelte husband, but very cosey.

The material is good. The Traditional Fit Houndstooth for quality is better. I ordered the medium for my son who is normally a large and the fit was perfect. However the Graham Mentieth certainly is not a bright and colorful as the picture. It almost looks more like the Black Watch, then a bright green. Very disappointed, this gift had to go back.

I love this shirt with reservation. The quality of the flannel is extraordinary and the shirt is well styled. It's really the perfect flannel shirt. Unfortunately, it's a little oversized. It's fine for throwing over a henley or t-shirt and knocking about the house so I haven't bothered to exchange it. It did shrink down a wee bit the way a good flannel shirt should over time so it's well broken in now and I love it, but next time I'll go for a size smaller or a different cut so I can wear it in public.

I really like the fit and feel of the shirt. My only complaint is that in the picture the shirt appears to be green with heavy blue and black plaid. However my shirt has no blue whatsoever. With that being said, the color of the shirt is called "black watch." Personally, I believe the shirt in the picture is more attractive than the one that I received, which almost looks like a buffalo plaid shirt.

Love this shirt but I wish that this category had a button on the placket which is located near the shirt sleeve cuff.

The Lord of the Isles color is a MUCH brighter green in person than represented on the website (yes, my monitor was adjusted prior to ordering) but it is still a nice shirt so I won't return it, but be warned it is a much brighter green color than the nice darker shade on the website.

I was expecting a heavier weight flannel in this shirt.....I live in Florida however when the temps get in the 40's and 50's in the winter I much prefer to wear a heavy shirt over my normal clothes when I'm outside..... this shirt won't cut it.....AND it has a funky button down collar.....I guess I didn't read enough reviews when I ordered it. However, I love the quality and fit, so I will be sending it back for a heavier weight material.

My husband loves these shirts but I had to quit buying them for him because they don't have two chest pockets. With his pace-maker he keeps glasses, and pens in one pocket and his phone in the other.

Awesome shirt! Please restock the small size in the sale for other colors!! I would purchase more of them!

Can be a five star IF they get rid of the button down collar. My oldest shirt has/had NO buttons, it is the most comfortable one of the three I own. Don't button the collar and it looks weird. Oh well.

Pros-- Very nice flannel fabric: soft, warm, non-pilling, non-fading, hard wearing, and durable. Cons-- Collar is undersized--looks skimpy--and new "fit" tag at the back of the neck (not pictured in photos) is a bit of an irritant against the skin.

Fit is good after washing, minimal wrinkles if hung up up promptly. I had to manually cut out the stitching and remove the sown label 'Traditional Fit' on the neckband, because it became uncomfortable after wearing. It never softened up. Overall a good product, with one annoying design problem.

I normally wear an XL in oxfords. I had to return the XL for a LG because it is not an exaggeration to say that this shirt is *massive*. One thing to consider is that it is flannel and will likely shrink over time. The tartans on these shirts are genuine and beautiful. The lost star is for not being American made.

This was for my tall and skinny son. It was nice to fine someone who made tall medium sized shirts. He likes his shirts fitted and not flabby and so do I so I don't have to keep sewing them in.

Good quality, really nice feel, deep true colors on the Black Watch. Generous cut. I'm 5'9" 200 lbs and the XL traditional cut is a tad too full for me. So I use it either as a primary shirt or as a cover shirt in place of a sweater or sweatshirt.

I gave this shirt to my husband for Christmas. He really likes it. It is soft and warm. Good quality fabric....nice and thick. His only complaints is that it only has one pocket...and it's too long.

Washed up nicely without puckering or wrinkling. Very, very comfortable to wear. I like this shirt, even though I am not a fan of button down collars in flannel shirts. I wish LL Bean had more of these kinds of shirts without the button down collars, that's the only thing I don't like, but other than that.. great shirt!!!

Great color combination. Very soft and comfortable. I look forward to wearing this shirt on special occasions.

I purchased this shirt in a Large which is what I normally wear and it fit just a tad large (long in the sleeves) out of the box....but after the first wash it fits very nicely now. Extremely soft to the touch, very warm and real comfortable BUT......the second button down from the top button is spaced much too close to the top button leaving little room for the neck (may as well button the top button). I wear it with both the top button and second button undone but this requires that you wear a T-shirt (crew) underneath. Not crazy about this. Please space this button more appropriately.

Item #:TA228061 Flannel Shirt. Placement of 'Traditional Fit' label on inside of collar uncomfortable. LLBean may want to change placement of this tag in the future...

Never disappointed with the clothing supplied by LLB.

In shopping for a flannel shirt, I especially liked the traditional Scotch tartan patterns and chose Grey Stewart. But what size? I am 5'9" and 160 lbs, but I am 42" in the chest and 33" at the waist. Normally, when sizing is S, M, L, XL, etc., I choose L and accept the extra fabric at the waist. Some of the reviews mentioned how large an M was, so I tried M. After one washing, there still is enough room in the chest and shoulders. I am happy with the fabric and construction. The fabric is light enough to wear indoors in the winter where heavyweight flannel and chamois shirts can be too hot.

Bought as a Holiday gift item for a family member! Bought one for myself too! I like it. It's become my seasonal fav shirt!! Hoping they'll like it too :) Flannel shirts are very tricky. If you do not buy the right material, it can irritate your skin. It feels very warm when I wear and does not irritate my sensitive skin! very comfortable. Great gift idea and a great buy!

I really dig this shirt. Its fits great and seems to be well made. Plus I think I look good in it. Also got a great price because I got 20% off .
