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

Shirt shrunk several inches in length. Button fell off. Fabric pills. Not the LL bean I used to know.

Have owned several llbean flannel shirts in the past. Always very satisfied with the shirts. I'm still wearing most of them. Received this shirt in Grey Stewart for Christmas. No comparison to previous flannel shirts in quality. The material quality of this shirt is what I would expect from Kmart. Construction and fit are good, but material quality is poor. Also, it wrinkles like crazy.

LLbean uses nice material but the styling is awful. Two XL men could fit in this!

I have been an L L Bean customer a long time and I don't intend to stop now. The quality of your products have always been top notch, however, I recently ordered 2 flannel shirts catalog KL228061. I have always ordered "large" size regular fit when ordering shirts or jackets and had no problems. I know this sounds hoaky, but when I tried the shirts on, I thought my arms had shrunk at least 2 inches. Sure enough, I matched them to some shirts I have, and the arms on these new shirts are at least 2" longer. Not a very comfortable shirt to wear.

I'm on my second shirt. Send the first one back after one wash due to piling. Second shirt piled just as quickly. Great feel new, if I never had to wash it I would be thrilled with the feel. But face the fact that it is only going to feel really good once. Right out of the bag.

Bought a couple of these Scotch Plaid Flannel shirts about fifteen years ago and they still look good to this day. Tremendous quality and the colors still hold up. Thought I might try a new color and bought one last week. Guess what? Extreme piling and the material is very fuzzy after washing and drying. Definitely not Portuguese flannel that I came to know. Note to LLBean Corporate Buyer Department in your next weekly corporate meeting : LISTEN to your customers and for goodness sake change your supplier(s) before one your your best selling shirts go down hill!! I know LLBean has a very good return policy but please spare me the refund/return details which I am very well aware of. All in all, a true disappointment from a 'great' company.

I thought this would be as good as the LL Bean Wicked Good Flannel shirts I bought previously. Unfortunately it wasn't. It's thinner, doesn't hold its shape well, and started pilling after the first wash. Thanks to LL Bean's super customer satisfaction policy these are going back.

Made with extremely thin, light material. Not what I would consider a traditional flannel shirt. Thickness of the material is similar to a men's dress shirt or a woman's blouse. Very poor quality.

While I generally love LLBean shirts, this one has sleeves that are way too long. Not even close to what a medium sleeve length should be. Other customers have also complained about this. I hope someone at LLBean reads this and takes corrective action. It is annoying to have to pay $6.50 to return a shirt that is obviously designed incorrectly.

This is my 3rd purchase of a Scotch Plaid Flannel and the fabric material changed since a year ago and not for the better. The first two shirts had a good clean look to them but the Black Watch shirt did not match the quality of the first two. Upon receiving the shirt, I saw that it was definitely fuzzier than the previous two and was almost pre-pilling. I had hoped that a few washes would fix it but it is now pilling and catches lint and pet hair with ease. I would only wear this under a sweater if at all. Please go back to previous supplier. Frustrated in PA.

I purchased this shirt because I liked the tartan...Stewart. Looked all right just out of the package. Then I noticed that seams inside the pocket were not finished. The edges of seams are raw...just waiting to unravel. After one washing I had threads hanging. After just five wearings...and washing in cold water on gentle cycle... the material is fuzzy and the tartan plaid is much more blurred. I agree with the reviewer who has written that this is not Portuguese flannel, which is very high quality. This shirt is already starting to look like it belongs in the rag pile...and it is not yet two months old. Piece of junk. I say, don't buy it.

It's not depicted in the catalog picture, but this shirt (in the regular fit) comes with an extra tag sewn in the upper collar that is very scratchy and annoying. I stopped wearing the shirts because of it.

$39.95 flannel shirt no where near same quality as shirts purchased from LLB 20 years ago. Paid less back then and got a shirt that has lasted 20 years and is a nice indestructible heavy flannel. Todays shirt is lightweight and looks to be the same quality as what I can purchase at a big box store for less than half the price. Don't mind paying for quality but LLB really missed the mark on this shirt.

I was disappointed that I did not receive a bill or a sticker in case I did not like the shirt. I was very pleased that the wear house transferred me to the Freeport store so that I could get the product since the wear house was out.

This was a gift for my son-in-law. Always excellent quality with L.L.Bean products and clothing. Excellent and prompt service for response to placed order and delivered in good condition and prompt delivery.

Very Poor Quality- Not anything that resembles L.L.Bean's Reputation. Very disappointed.

I am a loyal and long-time LL Bean customer. However, this flannel shirt is not what is advertised. The material feels great out of the bag, but it is rough after a single washing. It feels more like wool than like cotton. The material is also very thin -- not warm at all. The tag near the collar say that the shirt is made in El Salvador. The item number on the tag is 228061 so I'm sure I'm not confusing this with a different shirt. I have an old LL Bean flannel shirt that is fantastic -- extremely soft, warm, wonderful. That's what this shirt should be. I generally love LL Bean but something has gone wrong here.

Bought this shirt in a Med Tall and loved the feel and fit of the shirt until it was washed. The directions say it could be washed and dried on low. We followed the directions and the shirt sleeves shrunk at least 2 inches. We are disappointed and will be returning the shirt.

I've always been satisfied with purchases from L.L.Bean...but these shirts were an embarrassment to give as gifts. One went to a family member in New Mexico..was there when received for Christmas and it was all wrinkled...not from package wrinkles, but overall. Looked like something that had been slept in. Since it was a gift, the packaging was gone...he would have returned it, but way too much bother. The 2nd one was for my husband, and that wasn't any better. Would have hesitated even wearing them in public.

The new flannel shirts are softener, but at the cost of durability . I bought about 7 shirts in 2013/2014 and they are all pilling badly, most after only one washing. I have older flannel shirts by Bean's, at least 10 years old. They are stiffer, but still comfortable, and they are still in perfect shape. The new flannel is more expensive, but wears like the cheapest flannel I have encountered. Do not buy these

This shirt is subject to considerable shrinkage.

I was very disappointed in this shirt. It was way to thin for the price I paid. It will not keep anyone warm. I will be returning it.

The material is nice but beware - it shrinks badly! I ordered two online. One was backordered and I received the other. Upon receipt (but before washing) I tried it on, and it was too big. So I returned it to a local LL Bean store for a smaller size, and I called customer service and changed the size on the backordered one. At the store for the exchange, I even tried on the smaller size and it fit perfectly. I brought it home, washed it, and wow! The sleeves shrunk an inch and I couldn't even button it. Neither the website nor the store sign mentioned anything about shrinkage. Now I have to go back to the store againthis time, I am going to buy the more expensive "Wicked Good" flannel shirt. It is $10 more but described on the website as "won't shrink, no matter how many times you wash it."

Have bought several patterns of this shirt for my husband over the years. He is a tall, so we keep coming back because you carry his size and quality is usually great. The blackwatch pattern gave me a big surprise. Washed and dried it as usual with like colors, including with the grey stewart bought at the same time. The black watch shirt pilled and picked up white lint balls all over the shirt that would not come off; the grey stewart was fine ( still is). This happened after one (the first) wash! The shirt was unwearable after one wash and wear. I washed and dried it alone to try and save it and went after it with a lint roller, then a lint shaver. We really wanted to save this shirt! No change, still unwearable.Being a design director for a national menswear brand,I know how to wash and dry shirts and am more careful than most because I am in the business. This scenario is very unusual for an LL Bean flannel. Disappointed with the blackwatch patterns wash/dry durability. Really a shame, it was a brand new shirt, and a guy who lives in and loves his LL Bean flannels only had one wear out of the black watch flannel. He was very sad and just as surprised as I was. Highly unusual. We have so many of your flannels for years and years, but the black watch made it through only one wearing and washing.

I am so disappointed in this shirt. The fabric is balling up after only 3-4 washes. It's not holding up. I bought another one of the Scotch Plaid Flannel shirts for my son for Christmas in the Stewart fabric and he's not had a bit of problem with it. The cut and fit of the shirt are just fine though. I wear a large tall and if fits perfectly. I'm returning the shirt today for something else.
