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

Love the look. After one wash it looked like it was years old. The flannel pilled, and wrinkled. It also puckered at the zipper. I did not put it in the dryer. Very disappointed in the quality of the fabric.

The jacket itself was well-made but it is unlined. I expected some sort of lining it makes a product look finished. Just looks like it was started and just forgotten.

Very comfortable hoodie. Runs a bit large. I would have given 5 stars but following washing instructions the hoodie shrunk - mostly in length.

I love this but the pocket ripped at the seam on the first wearing... very disappointed because they quality has normally been outstanding...have not yet tried to get a replacement, but I will...

I was looking for a flannel shirt that would be warm. Unfortunately this shirt didn't match what I was looking for. It is quite short (I did order a petite but then again I'm only 5' 2") and a pretty thin material. I ended up returning it. If you're looking for something with a flannel book that isn't so warm this should stay in your consideration set.

The shirt is overall great but it shrunk way more in the dryer (on low following the care tag) then I ever thought it would. I had originally purchased the size large but returned it because it felt way too big and boxy to me. The medium was perfect when I received the exchange. I still think I will keep the medium because it is so soft and comfortable, I however would now describe it as fitted instead of relaxed after drying it. The sleeves now also feel short to me after the shrinkage.

I really wanted to love this, but being on the tall side, the sleeves were *just* long enough, and would have likely shrunk with washing. The length is on the short side, and the fit is boxy. The print is attractive though, and I would have exchanged it were it available in tall.

This is a great weight hoodie, but couldn't you make this hoodie with just about two more inches (or so) on the length, so that I don't have to tuck in the shirt under it? It's just too short for me to wear comfortably and I bet many other women feel the same way. We like things to cover the cold spot on our behinds (and cover some of the other areas we'd rather not share quite so much with the general public...)

I tried on a medium, loved the fit, beautiful light fabric, but the sleeves stopped above my wrists. I know I have long arms, but I don't usually wear tall sizes. The young woman at the store suggested a tall size, which doesn't exist, in store or online.

I thought it was nice, but the red color just wasn't bright enough for me. Also the material was a little thin. I took it back and did not keep it.

Loved the shirt and was very disappointed with the fit. The upper arms are too right especially with something heavy underneath. Must return it.

I really like this shirt but it is way too short. I would have preferred past the hip, but it was like to the top of my hips. (I didn't think I read sizing wrong... ??.) I will still wear it but not one of my favorites at all.

I ordered the grey steward in xl regular. Flannel fabric is a good mid weight. Love the pattern. No lining. The body is very boxy/roomy, I think most would say oversized. Great for layering. But I have big biceps, so the sleeves were so tight that the armpit seam stopped at mid upper arm. Definite "fat guy in a little coat" feel. The 1x in plus is unflatteringly too big. I'll keep looking.

I guess I'm in the minority with this sweatshirt, because this jacket was huuugeeeee on me. I've ordered small from L.L Bean in the past and usually, my only problem is sleeve length. Ironically with this sweatshirt, the sleeves fit perfectly, but the belly has so much extra room that it looks like I'm carrying twins. I can almost wrap the material around myself twice before I zip it. Maybe this is more flattering on people with an Apple shape, but on my pear shaped body this sweatshirt looked quite large. I'm afraid if I go to an XS the sleeves will then be too small, but I'll try that and report back.

I was so excited to receive my hoodie only to be dissapointed with the fit. It's very boxy in shape. It looked more fitted on model. Also sleeves barely made it to my wrist. I like my sleeves to be on the longer side. These definitely aren't. I will keep. But not wearing much. Only once because I am so dissapointed with fit. I bought to wear at camp. I thought It would be my new go to favorite. Sadly it's not.

I returned it as it fit ok but it was too short in length to suit me. It was made well and would have looked so much better a few inches longer. As I'm short, I thought this would not be a problem. I should have taken other reviewers advice.

I returned mine because it was way too large in the body as well as too long in the sleeves. I ordered the large petite which is what I normally wear. I liked the weight of the material and felt it was of very good quality. However I was hesitant to reorder it in a medium petite since I often find that there can be a huge size descrepancy. I would still recommend it just be careful on the size. Ask for specific garment measurements from customer service.

If you are one that is unsure your correct size, I would go for the smaller of the two you are considering. Be advised that this is a very generously cut. Definitely made to wear over another shirt and then some. I am between two sizes on Bean clothing. Apparently I chose the one that is too large. Everything felt great fit wise, except it hung like a maternity shirt. The waist was so incredibly wide that it was just out of sync with the rest of the shirt. It is well made. Nice fabric. Feels and looks like a quality shirt. I do like it and would maybe try another size, but they are out of stock. I am not sure if a different size would solve the problem of the very wide width at the bottom hem.

Size it good, except that it is on the shorter side. It is comfortable and washes nice.

Love the material and the over-all style. However, it is too short. I prefer my flannels a bit longer, boyfriend style. The pictures looked short, but at 5'2'' I thought the hemline would fall lower on me.

I'm a fan of LL Bean flannel and liked the idea of the casual zip-up hoodie style rather than a standard button-up shirt. However (and sadly for me, because it's cozy and well-made), the relaxed fit is way too blousy, especially in the back. (Maybe other size large customers are bustier than my C-cup profile?) I figured I could sew in a couple of darts to fix that problem -- but the other fit issue that I cannot solve is how short it is. It says the garment "falls at low hip" but it's really not long enough (maybe by today's leggings and a top standard) so overall it just looks boxy and awkward. I returned it in hopes that maybe next season a Medium Tall size will be offered, or maybe the whole style gets a refresh.

This shirt would be amazing BUT just like many of the wonderful clothes from LLBean, they are too short for tall women! What should be a favorite shirt, just feels awkward because I feel like I have to constantly pull at the sleeves or hemline to make sure everything is covered. Please start making women's clothes in tall sizes, I shouldn't have to buy men's clothes to get something to fit in length

I so wanted to love this jacket. Its so soft and the pattern is very nice. Maybe I have a long torso, but the fit is very unflattering on me. I dont mind loose jackets but this was just short and very boxy on me. On the model it covers most of her backside but on me its well above. The first winter I wore this I was 135lbs. By the next winter I'd had a baby and gained about 15lbs of baby weight and it's still extremely loose around the torso.

Ordered my usually XL, and I'm swimming in it. Fit is very boxy and unflattering.

I am surprised that this item was small for for 1X. After wash, it is definitely tight fitting. I love the shirt but can not buy another for this reason.
