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

I ordered two shirts for my husband, and this is the first time we have gotten him anything from LL Bean. I ordered based on the size chart, and got him a large. We received the MacNeil shirt yesterday, and while it is very soft, well made and a great color, the sizing was way off on him. The large was enormous, tons of room in the arms, chest and stomach area. Not really sure if these run bigger (do vanity sizes exist for men?) or if they are just supposed to be cut extra generous, but we'll be heading to an LL Bean store to have him try on a medium, because the shirt is very nice otherwise.

Just received the Black Watch shirt today. The color is dead on and the stitching and overall quality seem good. The fit is also just right, especially in the sleeve length. Therein lies the problem. My arms are about one half-inch longer than standard sizing. My concern is washing the shirt. If it shrinks even a little, it'll be too short. Does anyone have any feedback on washing these? Otherwise, shirt looks and feels nice. Four stars until I wash it.

Sorry to make this note. I don't know what it's like. My wife took it has it on all the time, and will no give it back. She tells me not to order her one, this is fine it's all I need. Looks good on her !

Picture of the Gray Stewart on line looks like the stripe is a rust/orange hue. When the shirt arrived it is a very bold candy apple red. While I like the shirt the color doesn't match the picture on the website. I've order probably around 15 flannel shirts from LLBean and this is the first time the color didn't match what I saw on line and am disappointed. Otherwise a beautiful shirt. The other colors are very accurate.

Got the Black Stewart, Black Watch, Macbeth, and Royal Stewart flannel shirts, and they are extremely soft and warm. BUT, my favorite Scotch tartan is Royal Stewart, and the shirt I received had a red that is nowhere as bright as in the catalog picture. Sent it back, and reordered, thinking that it was just a bad batch, but the second copy was identical to the first, and had to send that one back too. With the exception of that problem (which is annoying because I like the Royal Stewart tartan so much), these are great shirts. Has anyone else had this problem with color?

I bought my first LL Bean flannel when the movie Christmas Vacation came out with Chevy Chase. He was wearing one of the shirts and I remembered seeing it in the catalog. I still have the shirt and bought a few more, but the Black Watch shrank and I gave it to my son who still wears it. So I bought another Black Watch and it shrank but not as much. The other shirts didn't shrink as much, and I love them. So I am ordering one of the new color patterns and hopefully it will keep its shape. But I love LL Bean products and I have a pair of khakis from 1988, I have gained a few pounds and keep them in the closet just in case some day I lose weight. I know this is crazy.

I believe I ordered this one in blue as the primary color. Love the color palette. I really enjoy the weight as I often do not need to wear a jacket or coat over this shirt. My only ding against this shirt is sizing. An L fits me ridiculously long in the body and sleeve; I feel like I'm wearing a tent. A M fits me at just about the shortest it could be and still tuck it in comfortably and the sleeves are about 1/4 in. (maybe a tad less) short; the M felt fitted, but not tight on my body. You may have to buy two sizing to get the fit right for you. Otherwise, I love this shirt and continue buying them.

Other than the fabric being not as heavy as previous flannel shirts purchased from L. L. Bean, it did wash and dry without wrinkles.

The shirt was very soft to the touch and the plaid attractive. However, I was disappointed because I purchased this shirt as a Christmas gift specifically because it was written up in the catalog as Portuguese flannel. I knew that the best flannel was Portuguese or German. When I received the shirt, I noticed that the label said it was made in Malaysia - not Portugal as described in your catalog. I was extremely disappointed because I have always regarded LL Bean as totally reliable in all aspects of their business.

The quality is very nice. The flannel is neither too heavy or light. The fit is correct for my husband. The colors are nice and bright also.

My wife showed me a picture of this shirt And I wasn't able to tell much about it. When the LL Bean shirt arrived it was a Nice surprise...The fabric so rich-looking And the Feel of it so soft.We will order More of these shirts.

I've been waiting six months for these shirts. Why not have at least a few available during the year. Fit is a little large for the size (men's large) but since I expect some minor shrinkage, I'm sure it will be fine. Comfortable from the start; good workmanship.

I would not have ordered a second if I didn't like the first.

For this time of year this a great shirt. It fits well, easy to wash and it looks good right out of the dryer.

I always find your products to be a great value, they are comfortable, never fade and last a long time.

A well made shirt. Soft fabric, good for wearing under sweaters in the winter

Shirt keeps me warm and it's very nice.

I love the softness of these shirts. Mine is very comfortable!

feels good! wish there were more color options

I haven't worn it yet, but I was pushed for a recommendation. I have 8 or 9 choice Scottish flannel shirts most of them from Bean, so I do not expect to be disappointed.

As usual LL Bean comes through perfectly. Free shipping, came very fast and this shirt is very, very soft and handsome.

I bought this shirt for my husband and he likes it. I do not know how does it wear and washes and whether it will pile (will try not to forget to update this review in a few months on that) but it looks nice, feels nice.... just a little too thin fabric, thinner then I'd like a flannel shirt to be.

Like the shirt pretty well, I ordered another one. I would like it better if the flannel were a tiny bit heavier. Fit is good, a little bit roomier than some of my other "Large" shirts.

Just as pictured in catalog

This shirt has great colors and is wonderfully soft. I bought one for my dad (65 y) and one for my husband (41 y). My dad likes his, but my husband thought the shirt would be too warm and that it was slightly constricting in the shoulder area. I'll have to return the one that was for him.
