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

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.

Short and boxy not very flattering or comfortable but did have nice color and fabric but returned

After one wash it wrinkled terribly. Material is very stiff.

I liked the pattern of this hoodie and wanted to like the fit as well. Unfortunately, it was simultaneously both too large and too small, being tight through the shoulders, short through the sleeves, and baggy in the torso. Despite the size being labeled regular, it appears that LL Beans clothing is designed for women with narrow shoulders, thinner arms, and more ample torsos in general. Because I like the brand I was hoping to avoid this problem with some short sleeved pajamas I later bought. They just arrived and I'm experiencing the same problem with a tight fit through the shoulders and no fit through the torso. Not sure that I will risk any more purchases of clothing from LL Bean.

Available only in "relaxed" sizes, so there is no size that fits properly. Looks nice, seems nicely made, doesn't fit.

It did not zip correctly and it shrunk after washing it (the arms actually shrunk and became to short). I liked it, but ended up returning it. I did end up getting a new one in a slightly larger size and I will not put this one into the dryer. With the new one the zipper works much better, and the arms length is good.

Slightly disappointed. Thin material, wrinkles easily. I've had other LLBean flannels and the quality of this one is much lower.

The zipper sticks all the time and i have to fight to get out of my shirt.

I was mostly loving this flannel hoodie in the Angus plaid before I washed it, and then the whole relationship fell apart. It was noticeably shrunken and wrinkled after drying, the already too-stiff zipper became even more ornery and wavy, especially when seated, where it just bunches up, and the fabric lost whatever softness it had. It no longer hangs nicely on the body and it feels too tight at the hips when I sit down. At this point, the only thing I still love is the color. By way of contrast, my husband bought the men's button-down shirt in the Blackwatch plaid at the same time, and we washed them both for the first time in the same load of laundry, and his not only didn't shrink or wrinkle, but the fabric is noticeably thicker and softer than mine. What a disappointment. I'll be sending this back.

Ok so I washed and dried according to the label and yet again ll bean's lack of preshrunk cotton means the zipper is now super wavy. I stopped buying the sweaters with zippers because of this and now the same for the flannel. No way should an O N flannel for $15 out perform in softness shrink and thickness.

I bought this hoodie a month ago, hoping it did not have the same problem the first time I bought one. I was hoping it fit differently than the first time I bought one. Unfortunately, it fits exactly the same as it did the first time. The front puffs up in the front, hanging on my body awkwardly. I hoped that washing would help, but that didn't change anything. Sending items back drives me nuts, but I guess I'll have to do it again. I've ordered the regular LL Bean flannel shirts before, and I've loved them. I'll exchange for one of those.

I bought the petite size as I am 4 11 and the sleeves were even a bit short on me. Plus, the zipper is defective. I'm going to buy it again in regular sizing b/c it is cute.

Super disappointed in this shirt. I have only worn it twice and it looks terrible. I don't recommend spending this kind of money on this.

This hoodie looks cute and feels comfortable on. However, I do have a problem with it. There is piling on the torso at both sides and on both sleeves on the torso side. I noticed it the second time I wore it. I have washed it twice after wearing according to the directions and hung it to dry. I never had any problems like this with other flannel shirts from LL Bean. What should I do?

Great fabric but the whole thing just not attractive ir comfortable
