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

I wash it in cool like the tag says but every time it comes out it's a few cm shorter than when it went in. The sleeves end halfway down my forearms now and they started at my knuckles.

smaller than last years model. zipper does not work well

The hood could come off in the wind as it lacks a drawstring.

Pros: quality, construction, plaid looks like pic online. Cons: it just looks so wrong on me. I ordered my size, but the cut + color + me = no thanks. I can't do yellow, I thought I could with the little strips, nope. It is also flannel. Which surprised me. I know it is in the description, but it has been awhile since I've felt a true flannel and not the blended stuff you see in most stores as a flannel. I liked this. It is a rugged flannel that was very soft.

It's anice quality and decent weight, but the zipper sticks BADLY. It is very difficult both to connect the zipper to start zipping and equally as difficult to disconnect when you unzip. The zip ends are too close to the sewn edge of the jacket. It was worth the clearance price but I would never pay full price for this jacket with this zipper.

Very cute style but wouldn't buy another. Flannel is nice but on the thin side. Sleeves not long enough and LLBean does not have tall sizes in women's wear any more that I know of. I bought it on sale so I don't mind that much if it is not perfect.

Like to layer a light t shirt under and it's not loose enough through hip/tummy area.

It looked better before it was washed. It didn't look the same after. The pockets are very thick and unflattering.

It's not very wide in the shoulders, more like a XL not a plus size

I was not expecting this to be short and it is. Too short for comfort and likeability

Disappointed, plaid didn't match, material too heavy for me.

I have a Black Watch Flannel Robe and love it so much I have been checking back periodically to see if there is the same one back in stock so I can have TWO. I really like the softness and the color/pattern and wanted something to wear out of the house so I ordered the Black Watch Hoodie. The zipper situation caused me to return it. It seems the zipper is made out of a really plastic-y sort of polyester. It's really stiff and doesn't relax with the fabric. When I tried it on in front of the mirror there was a huge poof in the middle section. I was debating on keeping it but then I sat down and the chest area got a huge, comical poof in the middle. I can't wear something that creates poof where it doesn't exist. I actually liked the rest of the hoodie well enough to consider if I should take it to a tailor and see if they could put a flexible zipper in it. But I ended up ordering the Black Watch shirt. I plan to take that and my robe to the tailor, have them cut off the excess length of the robe and make functional pockets with good zippers for the shirt so I have a place for my phone, keys, and ear buds to live.

Thought about this for a while before purchasing. Love having bonus interior pockets. Negatives fabric pills and shrinks more than other LLB flannels and though I love the idea of a zipper it is too stiff for the thin flannel

This is my second one of these. I thought the petite would work better as the sleeves in my small regular are a bit long. Unfortunately the shirt length is also shorter which I do not like.

I wanted to like this jacket but matching the plaids was way off. I know I wouldn't wear it so back it went.

Not as warm as I expected and wrinkles very easily.

Not color fast. Zipper became mis shaped after wash.

Not as fitted as I expected. It honestly looks and feels a lot like a pajama top.

Even though we ordered a tall, the sleeves still aren't long enough. We will try sizing up.

Not Memorable! Too expensive. Cheap quality! Cheap & thin material.

The quality is great. The only problem I have is the size. It doesn't fit like a 3x, more like a 2x. Also shrunk after washing in cold water and air dry.

I had to return this tartan flannel hoodie because it was cut too large. I purchased it in reg medium but it was too large overall. The sleeve length and shoulders were fine. I was afraid to order a small because I figured it would shrink too much. I don't like to wear my clothes too tight and I was afraid to chance it with a smaller size. It was well made and the colors were beautiful.

Super square fit (which is noted as most relaxed fit so great if that is what you are looking for); sleeves are a bit short; fabric is a bit stiff. Pretty colors.

Unfortunately I had to exchange this for the next size up. That's when I don't like mail order. They charged my card for the exchanged item as well as a credit, only I haven't seen the credit yet. Also, a 10 day wait until I get the exchange item.

I love shirts like this. Where this zip up top fails is the length. I am 5 feet 2 inches 120 lbs. Thank goodness I did NOT order a petite---which by typical standards, I am a petite---yet this top is very short. Not sure how an average height woman would be able to wear this, unless they put a normal top under it I really wanted to wear this zipped up without having to wear another top under it that extended below it. Other than it being very short, it is a great flannel. I love the material and I love the zip up feature. If they made these in a normal length it would be perfect. Hope LLBean is reading our reviews. When a regular top is short in the length on a woman who is petite, they should clarify that it is cropped.
