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

LL Bean's flannel shirts are now made in Guatemala, no longer Canada. These Guatemalan shirts are just a little bit smaller, shorter sleeves. Just for anyone's edification.

This is a handsome flannel shirt. I bought it for my tall thin husband. Unfortunately the shirt fit, but the sleeves did not. Granted he is 6'5" so not the average height.

Nice shirt, but much lighter than I expected. Fits well. Haven't washed it yet to see how it holds up. Arrived timely and in good shape. Nice colors.

The shirt is lovely but too large. Sleeves are extra long. Overall length is too long - reaches to my knees.

I love the warmth of the shirt, the look is great as well. However, after just a single wash the back has started to pill a bit. Other than that, I have zero complaints. Its a very stylish, warm, and comfortable shirt. You guys are an incredible company and I am proud to share a state with you.

I have a Black Watch medium I bought 2 years ago which fits me nicely - (and did from the beginning - not a matter of washing) - just put on a Grey Stewart in M which was delivered today and I'm swimming in it - sleeves too long and just way too big all around -I'm going to have to return it and- unfortunately the S is on back order - I think that's what I'm going to need, much to my surprise, given I have an M that fits perfectly. Once again I missed getting a Grey Stewart by Christmas though I thought I was safe ordering the same size. [last year I was too late and it sold out - honestly you'd think they'd manage to keep basics like this in stock!]. Rather disappointed - was looking forward to this. (The cloth really is beautiful).

Bean's shirts have gotten progressively larger over the years. The 2 medium shirts we purchased were far too large in all dimensions, much larger than past medium shirts of the same model. The small is smaller in the chest, but not much less in the length compared to a medium. Call customer service and get the exact shirt dimension then measure yourself before ordering. Bean provides this information, unlike many other on-line retailers. Otherwise, they are attractive, comfortable, good-quality shirts.

As is the usual case, the size, medium, was more like a large. The sleeves were about 6 inches too long and the body was very blousy. I know I have an unusual size, but every time I order clothing from Bean, they don't fit. No more. The quality is great and the delivery service, likewise. Also, shoes. For all my adult life, I have worn size 7, medium. On those occasions when I have purchased shoes, they were too tight. I am sorry but I can no longer purchase clothing from L.L. Bean.

I bought two of your Scotch plaid flannel shirts for myself.The price was fine especially with the extra 10% off.They fit me fine.My complaint is twofold; the material is thin it should be more substantial (planned obsolescence) ? And secondly the color pattern on the Navy tartan was blah, anemic. In stark contrast to your full color top of the page illustration clearly showing green running throughout the pattern .The thinness of the material is what it is but showing a color as something it isn't is not worthy of LLBEAN . You folks are slipping!

I love the colors offered, the feel and the durability of this shirt for my husband. However, he has to have two chest pockets on his shirts. He has a pacemaker and cannot keep his phone in his left chest pocket. He also carries glasses and pens. We'll have to find his flannel shirts somewhere else.

I have owned a million of these shirts in the last 25 years. I ordered one about a month ago and LL Bean added a useless additional label on the collar that states "Relaxed Fit". It is positioned above the LL Bean label. I can try to remove it, but that may damage the collar. I will likely return it.

These are very attractive shirts with a true fit but after they are washed a few times they look like beat up. I followed care instructions, maybe would be better dry-cleaned? Sent mine back

I purchased two of these flannel shirts last winter, one in Royal Stewart and one in Blackwatch. They seem to be well made and are warm and comfortable. However the fabric seems to have an issue. The blackwatch fabric began to pill after only the second washing. The royal stewart lasted a little longer than that, but it too gained a very fuzzy texture very rapidly. These are my first LL Bean flannel shirts but by no means my only flannel shirts. I have never had flannel shirts behave this way though have seen similar degradation in flannel sheets. I followed the care instructions on the tag. All in all it is disappointing because the look is ends up being a little sloppy.

The material is good and the patterns are great, but my only complaint is the sleeve size. I am an average Medium shirt size with a 42 chest. The sleeves are tight when I bend my arms and the only comfortable way to wear the shirt is with rolled-up sleeves. The signature line Flannel shirt has a better fit. Also for an average build, the tail comes out easily with heavy wear.

Product not up to LLBean quality. Did not launder well. Wrinkled when out of dryer. Otherwise husband liked the shirt.iiihhhho

I was disappointed that I had to iron the shirt to make it look nice.

For me, I was disappointed I did not get the same shirt using the same item number as the first two I ordered a month ago. only one chest pocket instead of two buttoned pockets with pencil holder. Material somewhat heavier and fit loose. Definitely will not be comfortable in Texas summer. Otherwise, they are fine shirts and I will use them winter after winter.

I normally wear a medium regular LLBean long sleeve shirt. When I got this one it was just too big for your typical medium shirt. I mean it was tent like around my waist and also around my upper arms, I work out, so usually I can fill out the arms pretty good. But not this shirt. It reminded me of the puffy shirt from the Seinfeld series. I ended up returning the shirt for the credit minus the shipping charge. I am going to have to be more careful now when shopping because the sizes are not stable between types of shirts.

The material on this shirt is great, but my complaint is that the sizing is about one-to-two sizes off, in the larger direction, meaning that I ordered a medium, but could easily have confused it for a large or extra-large had the tag been missing. My chest measurement is 40 with a 31 waist, and I stand at 5'10", and the medium hem fell well below the crotch on my pants. So if you happen to be on the larger end, or buy two sizes smaller than your normal size, then I would recommend this shirt.

This is to be a Christmas present. Hence the recipient has not yet seen nor expressed an opinion about it. It think you would guess that about things purchased so late in the year. It looks nice . . .

Shirt shrunk during 1st washing, leaving lots of lint in dryer filter, causing me to question the quality of the fabric. Color and pattern exactly as advertised in catalog.

The MacNeil is very dark colored. The website view is much brighter and cheerier--the shirt is actually dark and subdued and not nearly as happy as the bright colors online.

I have been an LL Bean customer for 30 years and I am very loyal. I have noticed this year that the mediums are like larges and larges are like xl. I ordered three large shirts for my son and they could have fit a man who weighed 225 lbs with a large stomach. I was pretty disappointed. My son is 28, fit but not small as he is a fitness buff. The waist area on this shirt was like a maternity smock. I have reordered in a medium, but wonder what that will be like. My husband, a smaller man, has been wearing mediums for 30 years and if the large is representative of the sizing of this article, then I think he would now wear a small. LLBean, please don't do this. If North Americans are putting on weight then let them buy the size that is bigger and don't make them think that everything is okay because they fit the same size as before. I am disappointed. Last year the mediums were just the right size for my other son and my husband. The sizes are different from all past years. Fabric on the shirt is beautiful though as it sewing and detail work.

I purchased the Green Tartan and the Royal Stewart. Both are quality flannel and fit well. There is a problem, though: the plaid pattern repeat flow across the front button placket is way off, especially on the Royal Stewart. Makes it look like a bargain store shirt that was cut on the cheap. I am keeping the Green Tartan because it is not terribly bad, but the red Royal Stewart is going back. Just not acceptable. Bean quality seems to be drifting downward.

I ordered a regular-medium, which was the same as the Chino shirt that I had ordered previously. However, this shirt fit differently, and the sleeves were shorter. In addition, the opening at the end of the sleeves seemed to have an extra fold of fabric, which was noticeable against the underside of my forearms at the point where the two sides joined together. I felt like returning it, but didn't want the hassle. After washing it (warm water) and drying it (20 min. low heat, then line dry) a few times, the sleeves have gotten too short for me. However, the fabric is really warm, comfortable, and with an attractive pattern. If only this shirt were made from the same pattern as the Chino shirt!
