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

I love the colors in this Scotch Plain Hoodie and it's so soft. The only negative comment would be that the shape is even more boxy than the ones I purchased last year. Feels very wide at the bottom and I'm petite

I purchased this shirt last year in the same size and wore it alot. The fit was perfect. This year, I bought another color in the flagship store but did not try it on until returning home. I bought the same size and it seems to have shrunk in body and sleeve width. I am also 8 lbs lighter than I was last year. The flannel weight seems a bit thinner as well. I am sadly returning it.

Loved the plaid, but the zipper was really hard to zip at the bottom. Plus, the first time I washed it the fabric shrunk--but the zipper did not--so the zipper was weirdly wavy when zipped. Had to return it.

I've had this jacket for over a year and can tell you that even washing inside out, it pills after a few washes. The fit is good and the colors nice but not worth the price in my opinion, because of the pilling.

I love this hoodie but the fabric is not great quality.

I ordered this because I loved the color, and falls are cool here in Colorado. I am very disappointed that this is not nearly up to the standards I am used to from L.L. Bean, in the 44 years I have bought from them. The fabric is very flimsy, this is NOT a $70 shirt. You could probably find something similar at Sam's club for $19.95

I like many things about this - thin and lightweight, great color, nice style overall. But can't zip it b/c it is very small/narrow (and no stretch/give) at the bottom. I have wide hips and it fit great in every other way. I just wear it open, but I'd hoped/expected that zipping it would be an option.

The print is beautiful, it's good quality. The fit isn't very feminine/flattering.

Overall I liked this well enough and I almost kept it. Perfect material weight for those warm but cool spring evenings. I liked that it was a full zip. However, if I am going to wear something with a stripe in the pattern, I really prefer to see the material lined up at the seams. This didn't, I kept seeing it, so I returned it.

Sleeves were too short and garment was too snug fitting considering it was supposed to fit furthest from the body.

If only LL Bean could manage to size/cut this hoodie the same each time I order, I would give it 5 stars. My previous hoodie, in a different color, was cut much roomier. I double-checked my sizes and measured the difference between the two items and found a generous 3 inch difference from side to side. I'd even washed the first item many times, so there would be some shrinkage on the previous garment. I chose to exchange the new one for a larger size, which took a month, not kidding (USA domestic/lower 48). The new hoodie is larger than the first one, but with hot water shrinkage it'll probably be fine. I do love the color and the thickness of this quality flannel and it has great pockets. Final word: It's really frustrating having to exchange items because LL Bean sizes are inconsistent and having to wait 5 weeks for the exchange is a bit much in this day and age. Additionally, having to pay for the extra shipping really does not encourage future purchases.

I love the pattern and the style and weight of the hoodie. My only comment is that it pilled up in the first day and it's hard to remove.

Received as a gift. Nice shirt...roomy, comfortable for Spring or Fall chilly days.

Basic, not as comfortable as I would like. Needs more stretch. Not what I reach for when I want comfort.

Love the thick fabric, love the warmth, but the sleeves are too short. Sometimes, if someone wears a 2X, they might be taller than the average woman. Unfortunately, they don't make tall shirts. Guess I'm going to try to find some fabric to extend the arms.

Looks okay but The fit is large and unflattering. Also, thought the purple would stand out but the red was the dominant color.

I wasn't sure if I would like the antique Stewart tartan. It has a soft warm glow that's perfect for my coloring. It's become one of my favorite jackets, cozy, but also classy, and made of great quality flannel. A winner!

While I love the patterns and styles of this as well and the Sherpa-lined version and wanted them to work, they all run so large they aren't flattering or cute. I exchanged for a smaller size but it was still baggy even when layered. I will return, unfortunately.

I love the vibrant colors and the substantial, thick, soft flannel fabric. I'm not crazy about the fit because it seems kind of boxy and less than flattering. Still, I will keep this because it has a cozy feel.

She lives in Rhode Island and doesn't need a heavy coat for ten months out of the year. She wanted a medium weight coat with a flannel lining, but you we only found this in flannel. It is lighter weight flannel than I have in my Bean Portuguese flannel shirt; but, she says it will do.

Love the weight of this shirt, as well as how it feels. But im knocking off 2stars because after washing in cold water and hanging to dry, the material closest to zipper seems to have shrunk, and the zipper doesnt lie flat. It looks awful.

Nice hoodie

I have two of these from pre-Pandemic times, and one I purchased this past year. The first two (regular Mediums) fit me perfectly (I'm a Small in shoulders, Medium in the waist, but an X-Large in the bust, so the relaxed fit really does the trick); the last one I had to exchange for a Petite Medium, and even then the sleeves are almost too long, as well as the body. Something seems to have gone awry in the sizing. I'm not complaining TOO much, though; these shirts are perfect for fall and even winter, over a turtleneck (OK, maybe with a vest added in winter). And they are beautifully made. Note: I've found that washing and drying them inside-out helps preserve the flannel longer.

While I like this shirt overall it's not very functional as the zipper refuses to cooperate. Very frustrating. Cannot make the zipper line up to even try to zip up. Cute otherwise.

Material is very stiff. Pockets are great. I thought I was going to love this to wear during cool mornings but it's not as comfortable as I was expecting. Fit was tighter than expected but still true to size.
