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

This is a cute jacket. Well made. Very soft flannel. But...I think it would look better if it were a little longer in length. LL Bean seams to not want to keep up with the style in this area. I love most of what I get from them but please make the tails on your jackets longer. Most of us gals like our backside covered a bit. I sent mine back for this reason.

The flannel is thick and soft! Not the case with all llbean flannel. It's comfortable, sleeves are long enough, and it's cute. The only negative is that the fit around the hip area is very big. I'm keeping it though because overall it's a very nice zip flannel shirt.

I could have gone a size smaller but the upper arms are too small. Otherwise it's a loose fit.

Love the plaid and the full zip. Very comfy!

This is a nice quality item, but I was disappointed in the narrow shoulders and the arm length, which was too short. I usually wear a size 8 and the medium was too tight in the shoulders and too short in the arms for me. Raglan sleeves would help the fit, or just a bit bigger in the shoulders. Also, I ordered two different colors and the blue/green was smaller than the gray plaid.

I purchased two of these jackets: one for myself and one for my daughter. Among the new plaid products, this is my favorite color choice. Both jackets are true to size & a great weight for cool fall days. The only issue I have is that the plaids do not match on the side seams. I understand that it increases the cost of a garment if plaids are matched. I would prefer paying the extra amount. Nevertheless, my daughter and I like the jackets very much and I am very pleased that plaids are again popular!

Overall, I like this item; the color, materials, and quality are nice. It is more of a light jacket (as opposed to similar to a hoodie sweatshirts). The fit was bigger than I expected; it is especially big and loose in the torso, so you could wear a bulky sweater or fleece underneath. I think a slightly slimmer fit would've been more flattering and less bulky for activity (it kind of droops and gets in the way when you lean forward). I would go down to a small size, except I'm worried about the sleeves being too short (they are just right) and tightness across the upper back. If you are have narrow shoulders, definitely go down a size. I'm still going to keep it and wear it for hanging out on chilly evenings or camping.

Very cute shirt/jacket/hoodie. Not quite sure which category it fits. Beautiful, substantial flannel. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. I wish it was a tad longer. I find I need to lightly iron the zipper area after washing because it tends to curl a little.

Very comfortable. It isn't lined so it isn't too hot to wear indoors, on airplane etc. easy to layer over and/or underneath other things, so it is easy to work with. Only a couple minor downsides: I have long arms and wish the sleeves were a tad longer (I feel this way about many shirts) and after washing and wearing a bit this has an unkempt/wrinkled look. Still I prefer all cotton so I'm ok with that. FYI that it is NOT a straight across hem, so it does look more like a shirt than a jacket.

Cute utilitarian light jacket. I love the Bean Plaid. I added a cord through the bottom hem to make it "right". There is ample room in there. Take a cord with a large safety pin attached and draw it through! But, I think Bean should have done this up front.

Extremely comfortable,very soft,not like normal stiff flannel, can wear as a light jacket over t shirts. Would recommend and buy again.

I like that this hoodie can be worn as a light jacket or over a turtleneck as a layer. The fit is fine, not too loose, not too tight with a layer underneath. I just would have like it better if it was a few inches longer. I bought two over all. They wash well on cold an I hang to dry. I shape it wet to eliminate wrinkles.

The only thing I don't like about this shirt is at the bottom, it sticks out. Not sure if this is a good explanation or not.

This top is lightweight flannel and great for fall. With a t-neck, it might be good for winter, too.

I like the plaid hoodie, but for an LLBean product there are two things that need improvement. One, the plaids should match on the seams and two, there should be front seams to give it a little shape. The hoodie is too boxy.

Runs a little wide!

I love my new hoodie, the shirt itself fits a little larger than I expected. I had tried on an xl, which i normally wear, in the store and it wasn't as roomie/comfortable as I wanted which is why I ordered the 1x. It is fuller in the middle - but is fine as I plan to wear over another t-shirt and still want room. The only reason for the 4 out of 5 stars is that the flannel is pulling a bit in a few areas.

This is my new "favorite shirt." I did not realize that it was more of a jacket than a tunic but intend to wear it as a tunic anyway. Because it is a jacket (zipper extends the full length of the top) it is a little bulky in the mid-section. If the zipper were a half-zip it would be perfect.

I loved this hoodie but had to wait 1 year to order it in petite. This is not the first item that I have had this problem with an item.

I usually don't consider flannels as they are usually scratchy. I loved the plaid so went to the store to try it. It was very soft so I decided to take it. I got a size smaller than normal because I like a more fitted look.

This is a well made and warm hoodie but I wish it was longer to provide more coverage of my bottom. Although I initially ordered it in a petite x-small (I am 5'1", 92 lbs), I exchanged it for a petite small, hoping it would be longer but not the case.

When I first saw the listing for this hooded flannel shirt, I instantly thought I had to have it. Flannel + hoodie? Finally someone had a great idea! I originally purchased this in a large and thought it was a too baggy so I ordered a medium to compare. These definitely run a size larger. I normally wear a large (5'7" 175lb). The fit is comfortable. The slightly thicker material is a great quality. I feel like the look and wear of it feels more like a jacket than a traditional flannel shirt though. The cut across the front is very straight, I assume to accommodate the zipper. The back dips a bit in the cut, but not enough to cover the rear. There are pockets that are located to each side that are excellent - nice and deep and at the right angle to comfortably rest your hands. All of these add up to more than a shirt though - should be titled as a shirt-jacket not just flannel shirt. In regards to shipping. It took about a week and a half for each order to arrive. I decided to return the large and keep the medium. I used the LLBean return process online and chose the paid USPS return shipping option. Printed by label and mailed it off. Unfortunately I was never emailed any documentation of my return and my package was never received on their end nor can they look up shipping info from their label generator on the website. I'm now out $50 for trying out this shirt/jacket. So be very careful when initiating a return if you pick the wrong size.

This shirt is very soft and comfortable. My only complaint is that shirts at L.L.Bean don't come in Tall sizes. Because of my long arms, I had to get an X-Large, when a medium would have fit otherwise! L.L.Bean, you would be doing a great service if you began to offer Tall sizes in your shirts!

When I saw this flannel hoodie I knew it would ba a great addition to my wardrobe. I got a medium and it has room enough to go over other shirts. Great for cool day walks. The zipper is so handy. I rated it 4 instead of 5 stars only because it is a bit more "boxy" than I thought it would be; however, still very happy with product.

I love that this flannel zips up and has a hood. It looks good and is a lovely midweight layer. My only problem with it is that it is too big even though I ordered a small. I haven't washed the shirt yet, so it may shrink a bit.
