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

Fits way too big, wear a large with all retailers I would be a medium here. Returned

Poor sewing of the lapel button holes. They won't stay buttoned.

The last few of these that I bought became progressively rougher and scratchier with each wash, which I'm pretty sure is the opposite of what's supposed to happen. I just threw 2 of them away. Avoid.

There is a problem with the stitching next to the collar. I didn't notice it till after the first washing and l was ironing it. I hate sending things back, so l will try to fix it. I was very disappointed in it. We have ordered these shirts many times with no problem.

The shirt I received doesn't match the image of the color online. Much more green than pictured. Overall I guess it's just ok. Not worth the trouble to send back. Plus I had LL bean points to burn since they offer nothing of substance anymore.

Washed and dried this shirt as directed, but the sleeves shrank seriously and became too short after a wash or two.

We washed the shirt in a high quality washing machine according to directions before wearing it. We hung it wet to dry (we do these things to preserve the quality of shirts). Three quarters of the buttons were broken (with 1/2s or 1/3 of the button left intact). Abominable materials. DO NOT BUY!!!!!

The catalog photos with colors shown NOWHERE even close to actual shirt received. Those shown are very nice...while faded mix of colors in actuality....Not good. This comment is only applicable to: MacBeth Old Colours

The shirt is great quality and is true to size. The plaid, however, does not match well in the back and on the shoulders. I have purchased other Scotch Plaids from LLBean and the plaids are very nice. On this particular shirt, the plaid is definitely noticeably off.

LLBean is our go to place for clothing and this was our first disappointment. As with other reviews, the quality is not quite the same. Thankfully LLbean agreed to let us return the shirt! Thank you LLbean and I'm sure we will be looking for a replacement in time!

This shirt looked great online and in cataloges and I had wanted to try the color for awhile. So I made the plunge for both my husband and our son For Christmas. I've never paid $80 for a shirt in my LIFE but this was to match a new pair of pants. My husband's first comment in the box was "this shirt is BEAUTIFUL". We both love LLbean (he's from Maine:), but he just doesn't say "beautiful". Then I washed it. It came out wrinkled, the beautiful look of the fabric was totally gone, and he doesn't want to even wear it because it looks "cheap". That's also not a word he often uses, and now we're out the $$ for this because I'm sure having washed it it can't be exchanged (can it?). If so, let me know and I'll try again, but very disappointed in the quality of this shirt. Llbean is our go to place for clothes, so...change my mind Llbean! Thank you!

My husband and I have been buying from LL Bean for 45 years. We were particularly fond of their flannel shirts and robes. Unfortunately, our latest purchases of flannels have been sorely disappointing and are not the flannel quality that we had depended on in the past. We could tell it wasn't the same flannel by just looking and feeling the shirt. It feels like a polyester fabric. The fabric is poorly woven and overly brushed so it pills after washing. After the first wash, my dryer screen was covered in over an inch of lint! I paid a premium price expecting the LL Bean quality. These are unfortunately a great disappointment.

I purchased three shirts last year and wore during the winter. Pulled them out of storage to wear this Fall and Winter and the fabric on all the shirts has started to wrinkle badly and pill. The shirts have always been washed on a light cycle and dried at a low temperature. I like the generous fit and length but very dissatisfied with the poor quality of the fabric. Not up to LL Bean standards.

I have previously purchased flannel shirts for my husband and always been very satisfied; however, this shirt fit fine until I washed it when it shrunk two sizes! ! It was washed in cold water and hung to dry as I have always done in the past. Very unhappy and disappointed with this LLBEAN product. Because of this, I would not recommend it to anyone.

I wear an XL in shirts, sweaters, etc. This shirt arrived marked XL, but in truth it was XXL or maybe XXXL. Huge. So I returned it on 10/14/20. Paid $6 as I used LLBean's shipping label. It was finally "received" by LLBean returns on 11/20/20. I had asked for an exchange: I wanted a Large. Notified that L is out of stock and will not be available until Jan 12, 2021. Notice this is after Christmas. Cancelled return.

This shirt did not last as long as one would think based upon purchase price. After 1 year 2 months with limited wearings shoulder seam ripped . It's not even tight in the shoulders!

After the third washing, one became very pilled and the other two developed frayed cuffs and a slight tear in the arms above the cuff. Little too much money to get that type of wear. In process of returning to see what LL Bean will do about it

I was so disappointed. I buy my husband a new Bean flannel shirt every October for his birthday. 2019 Shirt was so flimsy after one washing. It looks sloppy and cheap. The same flannel shirts he has from years prior have held up to LLBean standard. Hope someone let's us know when Bean returns to the old fabric so I can start buying again!

My husband loves a competitor's flannel shirts. The competitor's flannel shirts iron very well, but they also hardly need to be ironed in that they have a very tight weave. We are retired, and he wears flannel shirts all fall, winter and spring. He likes the tight weave oif the competitor's flannel shirts. as they give a sense of style. He found this LL Bean shirt to be too unstructured, too light-weight, continually rumpled, and worst of all, he described it as having pills. Having just ironed it, I would describe it as having fibers that extend out of the weave.. The rumpledness, even after ironing, combined with the highly visible nappiness (almost pills). make the wearer lack the crisp style my husband favors. I LOVE LL Bean. I love the fact that every item is true to size. I love the wide variety of informal variety of clothing offered to women. I love the colors and the variety of materials. I have never had an LL Bean "fail". So I was surprised at this shirt.

I hate these shirts but I am getting another one because my husband likes this pattern. Brand new out of the bag, it was perfect, but as soon as it went through the wash it shrunk, pilled, faded, and wrinkled. I babysit the shirt in the dryer to get it right as it is ready, but it is still such a high maintenance shirt. Really hate these and I wish they'd be easier to maintain.

I ordered an XL which was too big. Since I recently lost weight, that's understandable, except the 6 or 7 of my LL Bean flannel shirts are all XL and fit me well I reordered a L shirt which fit well but the sleeves were about 2 " too long. Took it back too and gave up on your flannel shirts. Still love LLB

I have bought medium shirts, coats and other items from L L Bean for years and they have ALWAYS fit. This shirt was so large that it looked like a tent on me. In light of this, I asked that the cost of shipping the item back be waived, but my request was ignored. I didn't even get the courtesy of a response. I will take my future business elsewhere.

I used to love the scotch plaid flannel and have purchased several through the years and they have held up well. I purchase two recently and the fabric was poor quality. The shirts are fuzzy and have acquired those pills on them. I hope the fabric quality gets better someday as I would love to buy again when that happens.

I ordered a Medium Tall and the neck on the shirt was 19 inches. The entire shirt was very big so I think it was not marked correctly although the tag on shirt said medium tall. I brought it back to the store and the person said he thinks it will shrink when I wash it so I did not return it. I am returning it now.

Never got to wear this item
