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

I love the colors and the softness of this flannel, but it is a weird length and hangs oddly, so it's not very flatterIng. I'm keeping it to wear around the house because it is warm and very soft

I am not sure how to describe the fit using the too small too large. For a shirt jacket, the sleeves & shoulders are way too small - this shirt was uncomfortable with a t-shirt underneath. The body is very roomy & is appropriately sized for a sweater or sweatshirt. This seems to be a common problem with shirts that the sleeves & shoulders are not proportionately sized with the body size. No information about how this shirt washes since I will be returning it

Well, I ordered this and was so excited about it. I wore one time. Did not hold shape and actually was quite boxy.... Disappointed. Planning on returning. Overall disappointed in fit of flannels this year.

I bought a small and it was still too boxy and oversized. Too long, too wide, no shaping for waist at all.

I had to return this because the upper arms were extremely tight. I've never had this issue with any top so I think it's specific to this particular shirt. Otherwise, nice.

This top felt a little close, although it was my usual LL Bean size. One thing I have loved about LL Bean is the size consistency, but they seem to have lost that quality recently, which is really a shame. Because this top is flannel I washed it to see if it would shrink, and it certainly did. Completely unwearable because it shrunk so much, so I returned it. Still waiting for a replacement in the next size up, which is on back-ordered for weeks. Soft material, nice styling, but buy at least one size larger.

I purchased this hooded shirt recently. It washed ok but after drying the material wrinkled and the shirt shrunk. disappointed. cannot return since its been washed. for $65 I think that stinks stinks stinks

As usual, the flannel is amazing. Blackwatch is so pretty and the material is soft. However, this shirt has a very odd fit. It is tight across the shoulders but pooches out over the belly. Would fit great if I were a bit pregnant or had a beer belly. Wanted to love it but returning due to the strange fit.

I really wanted to love this flannel hoodie, after reading many reviews. I'm 5'2, 108# and ordered a Misses XS in the gray Stewart & one in the Colquhoun. I'm glad I didn't order Petites, as the sleeves in the Misses are just right. Petite sleeves would have been too short. Even in the XS, the fit is very large especially at the bottom where it bells out at the sides & it is almost too short. It looks weird when it's zipped. The flannel is soft and substantial, but to me the gray was drab, while the Colquhoun is beautiful & bright. However, although the gray plaid was matched perfectly at both the front and sides, the Colquhoun was perfect in front but way off on the sides, like inches off. Disappointed and will return both.

Based on other reviews, I ordered a small and medium petite. Even the small petite is too boxy. Nice pattern. Nice material. May keep the small even though it's boxy and not particularly flattering.

Seems fairly well made like all LL Bean items, but the hoodie is shapeless and boxy, totally unflattering. I plan to return it at my local LL Bean store

Overall, I was really wanting to love this shirt-who doesn't love soft flannel and a zipper to boot? The problem lies in the "relaxed" fit-it's relaxed to the point of being boxy. I'm now looking for someone who can possibly put a dart or tuck in the backing without messing up the flannel pattern. The back is so out of proportion with the rest of the shirt, that cold air actually goes up it. The other problem was that the sleeves are slightly shorter than I would like, and unfortunately, I bought two. Still, it is a good flannel, just not for me.

My measurements are between a medium and large, so I went for the medium since these are "relaxed" fit. The arms were too long, and the fit was unflattering. Too loose and boxy. While the quality seemed good and I loved the giant pockets, this wasn't going to work for me. I am returning and instead getting my go-to slightly fitted flannel.

Plaid, black watch, very nice. Doesn't feel like flannel. Material very thin. What will make me return it is that for a short person the misses size is just too long. Disappointed as I was looking forward to it. I don't think I realized too, that it was a jacket, but not sure what I thought. I guess hoped for a half zipper. I seemed to run wide. In regards to recommending it to a friend, it would depend on whether the friend was short or tall. Wonder why Bean's didn't make it in petite.

I bought this for the cooler winter/early spring months. Everything fit perfectly until I washed it (cold water). The sleeves are WAY too short even after I sized up.

The shirt is Fantastic and I love it, however there was more shrinkage than expected and now the sleeves are too short and the shirt is uncomfortable. The value for a 2-3 time wear is too high and I recommend ordering a size up and if you are over 5'5" I recommend ordering tall.

My husband bought this for me and I expected it to be great quality since it was LL Bean. Unfortunately, the first time I worn it pilled all over. Needless to say I was quite disappointed

It's rare that I'm not completely satisfied with an item from LL Bean, but this is it. After one washing (and line drying), this flannel was no longer soft and appeared pilled. I do love the styling though.

The front zipper stitching was askew and the color was very dull! So disappointed, llbean. Long time customer. Boo.

I love the plaid color and the fit until I washed it. It shrunk! Too pricey for that to happen. I am not short, so its important for an item not to shrink. I have found over the years that many items from here do shrink. Good quality, but this one flaw. I returned this item.

Loved this shirt, until i washed it inside out, on gentle. It pilled on the outside, yet the inside had no pills. The outside also faded and again, not the inside. So disappointed with the fabric in a shirt I loved. Nice heavier weight, zip up with a hood, loved it. Now I'm considering returning it. Noticed this pattern is not longer available.

It's OK material is very thin not what I was expecting if it's OK Ugh through the chest area. Colors are great much thinner than they've been in the past a little bummed out about that.

I have a couple of the Plaid flannel hoodies from a few years ago and was so surprised that the 2 new Flannel hoodies I purchased last month the material feels thinner and cheaper. Not only that, after wearing a few times I noticed pills down the sleeves and cuffs. Although I love these flannel hoodies I will have to think twice next time. I buy them because they are LL Bean, good quality clothes. Not sure if I will buy any more of these. Very disappointed.

After I put it on, broke on first wear so I was stuck in it. Getting it off wasn't fun. Returned it the next day. I was looking forward to this flannel but what a bust!

Good quality but poor fit. It's super snug in the shoulders and bust. I'd say order up a size or two. Otherwise, the taped seams are a nice touch and color is pretty.
