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

i am a pretty big guy, usually border between L and XL. This shirt fits like an XXL shirt. Not worth the money in my opinion. COmfy, but too big.

Ordered this in Royal Stewart for my dad for Christmas. If it had been for me, I would've sent it back, but I'll let him decide. When I got the shirt, I went to my closet and pulled out one of my old Bean flannels-- quality has gone downhill since I last bought a Bean's flannel (mid-90's). Not thick and fuzzy, but thin and cheap feeling. Also, the plaid just didn't look right. My old ones are doing well, thank goodness, b/c the new ones don't look like they'll last as long.

The lint problem is exactly as a previous reviewer described. This shirt is a lint bomb. If lint were shrapnel and my other shirts people, my other shirts would be dead right now. I washed the shirt and threw it in the dryer. It completely clogged my lint filter. From what I could tell, it looks like almost half of the shirt material ended up in the lint filter of my dryer and on other clothing the first time around. I gathered enough lint after one washing to make a pair of flannel socks. Now I get to look forward to the tedious task of lint rolling the other clothes...

Had it a week and the button fell off in the washer. just amazing!

I bought four tossed them in the wash machine. When I took them out I got covered with lint. After cleaning up the mess I put them in the dryer which clogged the lint trap within minutes. So I shook them out and washed them again. More lint and a lot of pilling. The shirts were made in El Salvador and the stitching and detailing were great but, the fabric is awful.

I don't know much about fabrics, but have purchased more than a dozen LLBean flannel shirts over the years and this one is different. After only one washing, the cloth has a knappy look and feel. I've only encountered this once before and that was in a cheap pair of flannel sheets that did not last long. I would guess that the problem is either in the quality of the thread, or the way it is woven.
