Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Relaxed Fit Hoodie

I got the Black Watch and Gray Stewart, both in Small. So Soft! I hope they have minimal, if any, shrinkage, because the fit is just right. I had also ordered the medium for comparison, and it was just too big. A light to medium turtleneck works fine underneath. So I will treat the "smalls" very carefully and hope they don't shrink. The hoodie part is generous but not floppy, doesn't fall down over my face. Sleeves are perfect. The zipper is a very good quality, heavy plastic. Very durable but not at all stiff. The thing I like best about these shirts is the utter softness. I highly recommend. I would buy a whole closet-full. I would have ALL of my clothing (Yes, even my underwear) made out of this absolutely heavenly, medium heavy, flannel. The colors are rich, too. Beautiful, beautiful jackets. I am tempted to buy another!

I found this wonderful top on clearance and had additional coupons making this the deal of the century. At full price this hoodie would still have been a good purchase because it is sized perfectly, soooo soft and comfy, and cute, cute, cute. I'm sure this will be worn time and again in all seasons for many years to come.

Love this! Comfortable, good looking and great fit. I usually wear an XS and that is what size I bought. Perfect. I am 5'3 and 122 lbs, for reference.

I have more than one Scotch Plaid flannel shirt, including the Stewart Victoria plaid, which are thick, warm and all that a flannel should be. The reviews of this Scotch Plaid hoodie led me to believe it might be a lighter weight flannel, although the videos for the two items say both are 5.3 oz flannel. In a Chat with an LLBean rep, I was told that the Scotch Plaids are registered plaids, which can and do come in various weights, this hoodie being of a lighter weight than the button down shirt. Now I have tried on, touched and felt the button down shirt and the hoodie and I cannot feel a difference. I just washed and lightly dried the hoodie, and it did not shrink appreciably. So, I am happy with the weight, feel, and size of the hoodie, which I was able to downsize from my normal XL to an L which still fits after washing and carefully and partially drying in the dryer. Some say it is boxy, but it does have a bit of curve to the waist area, and the rounded bottom hems help to offset any boxy lines. The twill around the hemline also helps the hoodie to hang better. Hey, this is a flannel, not disco wear!

I just received the two that I bought on the 2-a-day markdown. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! I would love more so I will watch for them to appear on the 2-a-day markdown again (probably never will!). I can't afford them any other way. Yes, as other reviewers have stated, they are boxy. These are jackets so they should be boxy. I can even wear them over sweatshirts. AND THE PLAID IS BEYOND CUTE! THANKS LL!

I had originally ordered the Victoria Stewart and fell in love. I went on to order Dress Gordon and Grey Stewart. As I look at the photos of them, I just wanted to point out the colors were a bit different in person. The Victoria was very yellow cream color and not white at all like the photo looked but I still loved it. The Dress Gordon looks more white w/green in the photo and in person it was very little white and blue was the predominate color - still loved it. The grey Stewart is my surprise favorite. Such a beautiful plaid, nicer than the photo. All are exceptional quality, substantial and so soft. I want to wear them all the time!!! I am a M sometimes L. The Med fit with plenty of room to spare for comfort and to layer

my favorite soft shirt. It's comfortable & has big pockets that I love to stuff

I just received the Victoria Stewart and after wearing it for 2 days straight ordered 2 more (gray Stewart and dress Gordon) I am a M, sometimes L and M was perfect with plenty of room to layer. I am 5'4" and the body and sleeve length were perfect for me. I didn't think it was boxy at all, seemed to curve in at my waist and the pockets were completely sewn down/in and not flapping. Great quality and beautiful! Love LLB

I liked everything about this hoodie! Rounded hem. Flannel is soft and substantial. Small leather zipper pull is nice touch. Classic muted Grey plaid a terrific neutral combining cool and warm (olive!) tones. Just the right weight for those in-between days. I tried two sizes, but, unfortunately for me, neither worked. On the size chart, I am between a 6 and an 8, and tall. I like casual clothes to allow free range of motion, so often order up one size. My bad to start with a Med (sz 10-12). Way beyond relaxed fit -- I just swam in it. Exchanged for a small, but sleeves were too short. :( If you're considering this little jacket, I'd highly recommend giving it a try. Lucky you if it fits.

I had high hopes, and they were exceeded! First I noticed the heft and beauty of the rich flannel. SO soft and cozy! The zipper is more convenient for me than buttons. The pockets are large - meaning tall and full volumed BUT NOTE that depth from the pocket bottom to the lower edge of pocket opening is only a couple inches. So taller items like phone fit, but may not stay securely with movement. I usually select Petites, because I am 5 ft tall, but decided on Regular for this to get the extra inch of length in the body. It is definitely NOT too long on me! This seemed pricey to me, but now I am considering a second one. And my color was on backorder for three months - but worth every day of waiting!

I bought this in Dress Gordon and it's so cute and fun to wear - either out on errands and hikes, or just lounging around the house. The material is a soft flannel (not stiff or scratchy) and keeps me warm. I'll probably get the Grey Stewart next - it looks a bit drab online but in person it looks nice.

My wife is very happy with the fit and quality of the hoodie. She's tall, so finding shirts and sweaters can be a bit of a challenge. This shirt surpassed her expectations. Will definitely look for additional colors

Love this zip front Tartan hoodie, very warm and receive many favorable comments on it when I am wearing it.

Many reviews mentioned it was boxy. While it is, that's the style of the shirt and I was fine with that. You may even be able to size down one size. The fabric is lightweight, very soft and colors are deep/rich. Great layering piece. Recently wore it over a t-shirt for just that little bit of extra warmth on sometimes chilly flights. Having worn a blue/green plaid uniform al through grade school, I was hesitant to buy plaid. This shirt cured me of my 'allergy'.

I really like the look of this jacket. It's got roomy pockets inside and out. I love the hood and the front zipper.

This flannel was just the right weight for this style, not too heavy, but has body to it. The zipper is substantial, the length low hip for outerwear, nice buttoned long sleeves. Perfect fit, roomy, but not boxy. Love this one! Would recommend more than one!

THIS RELAXED ZIP HOODIE IS THE THIRD ONE I HAVE PURCHASED. THE HOODIE CAN BE WORN ALONE, OR ON A COOL DAY, WITH A TANK TOP UNDERNEATH. WHEN IT IS A LITTLE COLDER, I WEAR A LONG SLEEVED TEE WITH THE HOODIE. IT IS JUST THE RIGHT LENGTH, AND FITS WELL; I DO HAVE TO FOLD THE CUFFS UP. I LOVE THIS SHIRT. IT IS A GREAT WEIGHT, AND LOOKS GREAT WITH JEANS.

Just what I was looking for. It's warm without being too heavy. It's casual and comfortable. I dislike half zip tops and was thrilled this was a full zip. I'll be tossing this on whenever I have a chill regardless of the season. No regrets at all.

This is a great flannel hoodie. It's not heavy, but it's warm. Some of the previous reviews said it was "boxy," but that was exactly what I was looking for. I can wear it alone or over a tee shirt. It looks great and is very soft.

Jacket is made of really high quality material. I love the leather zipper pull and leather label next to the pocket on one side. Kind of boxy and loose-fitting, but it means you can layer. Perfect for under another jacket in the winter (or over a long sleeved shirt), and I imagine perfect for chilly summer nights. Worth the price.

I had seen this in the store and loved the look. It is super comfy - I just wear a T shirt under it. Perfect length. Very flattering cut. One of my favorite casual tops - maybe my very favorite.

I just received this flannel hoodie today. I couldn't help but dive into it. I live in the gorgeous Colorado Rockies and the temps are in the teens today. Perfect! Needless to say, this hoodie is all I expected it to be. I'm 5'4" and weigh 140. I ordered the XLG. It fits VERY loose; but that's exactly the look I was going for. I wore denim leggings with it and boots. I totally appreciate the pockets. If it were colder out, I would have added another layer...my favorite LLB mock turtleneck, which, btw, are a staple in my winter wardrobe. I highly recommend this hoodie. Can't wait to get a couple more :-)

I bought the blue Stewart plaid and loved it so much Santa brought me the Victoria. I am a size 12 blouse and the medium fits fine with plenty of room for a turtleneck underneath. There are two interior pockets with plenty of room for keys and phone. Highly recommend!

Love this shirt, i am going to order a second one in other color. It reminds me of a shirt I had in high school. Very comfortable.

Premium weight flannel, great design with curved bottom and the pockets. True to size for me, a 12-14, so I ordered Large. True to size for my 29-y/o daughter also, and hers is XS. I ordered hers for Christmas, and mine right after the holiday after seeing hers. Comfortable sizing for a turtleneck or shirt underneath. I will wash cold and dry on low because I love how it fits and don't want to risk shrinkage. Colors - a hard choice as they all look beautiful; I got Victoria Stewart and Gray Stewart. Really love this shirt.
