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

LOVE how comfy and soft this is! I usually wear a Medium in Bean clothing, but this has shrunk terribly in the sleeves, which I did read in other reviews but still wanted to give my usual size a shot. Washed in cold, and dried Perm Press, it still shrank in the sleeve area only, the torso is perfect. It sits EXACTLY on the shoulder and is now only able to be worn with a tshirt under it - after 1 washing! I love the Dress Gordon pattern so am contacting customer service tomorrow to see what we can do. It does look like in previous years this was not an issue, but was for the 2021-22 winter season. I am so in love with this shirt, so fingers crossed to get it corrected!

Comfy and nice looking. Fit is good except it's poufy around the abdomen, not flattering. A little too big in the waist area.

It fits well and looks nice. I wish the flannel was a bit thicker is my only reason for the 4 rather than 5 stars.

I washed and laid it flat to dry and it shrunk a little. My advise is to buy a size larger.

I wish the tall was available in all the color choices. But I got the Rob Roy and still really like it. It fits my long arms perfectly. It does flare out a bit at the bottom hem, and my hips are not narrow.

It's more fitted at the waistline than I would have expected. It is almost baggy through the midsection. It is a nice weight flannel.

Love the style and the quality, but sizing was a problem. The sleeves are very short. I fit into an extra small, but had to go up to a medium in order to get sleeves that are *just* long enough (and I would honestly prefer another inch or two). I wish it were a little longer in the body as well. Unfortunately the color selection in tall sizes is much more limited, and I really wanted the Princess Mary plaid. I may try to do some tailoring.

Runs a bit small, I wish it was a little bit longer. Great quality

What could be more fun than a plaid flannel zip hoodie? True to LLBean, this is very high quality - soft and snuggly with rich colors. I got the Dress Gordon. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is that, if you are a little larger in the hip area, it is a bit snug. If I order this again, I will order a size up.

The color of this looked more purple in the catalog, it is actually more blue and pink. It is well made with quality fabric and the fit is as expected.

Very versatile, medium weight shirt with 2 large inside pockets and 2 outside pockets. I wish the pockets zipped or had Velcro. Nice for indoor wear in winter and outdoor other seasons. Fit is good. PL 5'1", 150 lbs.

It is nice and heavy, but looks more like a jacket than a shirt.

Love LL Bean flannel. This did run a little small.

Runs big. I ordered an XL as every compact is different. After one wash it was still too big, all over so returned it for a large. Glad I did, fits much better. Stylish and warm.

This is such a wonderful shirt apart from the fit issue. Beautiful tartans (I chose Prince Charles Edward and Black Watch), soft and cozy fabric, nice hood with actual ties, roomy side pockets. I gave it a 4 because when I ordered my normal size (Large regular) the sleeves were too tight, (circumference too small) so I could not bend my arm comfortably. The sleeves were also too long. My arms are normal circumference, and a bit longer than normal, so it should have fit. I exchanged both shirts for size XL petite, which had looser, shorter sleeves. I love the shirts in the new size.

I own 6 of these hoodies. They are very useful and handy to put on over a sweater. They are intentionally made roomy and comfortable in a relaxed fit so that they will fit easily over a sweater or sweatshirt. I love the fact that besides the outside pockets, it also has inside pockets for my cellphone etc. I wash each one individually, zipped up and turned inside out in cold water, Woolite, on the delicate/ gentle cycle. I tumble dry on the very lowest heat setting and remove before it's completely dry, I then hang it to dry. I have had no problems with damage or shrinkage doing this. My only criticism would be that for the high price, the flannel should be thicker.

A couple of years ago I bought this same shirt in a different fabric pattern, love live love it, so bought another in a different color. I like the new one, but not as much as the original. The cut is slightly different, snugger at the hip and a hair shorter. And the fabric is slightly lighter in weight. I still like it, but if this had been my first one, I probably wouldn't have bought a second.

Thought hoodie was a bit short even for a petite. I would have loved it a couple inches longer to wear it out and about. Otherwise, I like it.

Very comfortable to wear. Soft. Gave it 4 instead of 5 stars as it's very short on me. I washed it and laid it flat to dry. Unsure if it shrunk from one wash or if it's just made shorter?

I was very happy with my purchase until I saw the men's version. The men's has more pockets. It has aglets. It has more hip room and a longer tail. What the heck.

I really wanted a plaid you no longer make this in, but this is nice. Would prefer a two-way zipper. The flannel is quite nice and it washed well. I hope it lasts.

This shirt is just ok. Sleeves seem too short and I bought a medium! So order up a size. Also there is no front pocket, which surprised me. Other then that it's good quality that you'd expect from Bean.

Love this hoodie but the sizing is inconsistent. I usually order the Reg. XS in this particular hoodie (ordinarily I wear a Petite S or Petite XS). This time, the Reg. XS was narrower than normal, so I ordered it in a Petite S. The Petite S was just as long as the Reg. XS and the sleeves on both the Reg XS and Petite S were the same length.

Although I purchased a petite, I should have bought a smaller size.

great initial service and easy return/exchange when needed, nice looking and good quality hoodie
