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

The cut of this flannel zip hoodie is not kind to those of us who have hips. I returned this and got another tunic, which is roomy and comfortable. Also, the flannel used on this hoodie was not as soft as that on the tunics.

I am really disappointed in the quality of this shirt. The plaid is lovely and it fits like a dream but the front plaid does not match. I asked my husband if he liked the shirt and the first thing he said was the plaid doesn't match. Also, just like a sweatshirt I ordered, the hood is huge. I mean really, really large. Too bad, back it goes. I am disappointed that I am not having much luck with LLBean lately.

Just received this flannel. I don't think the quality is poor however it's certainly not worth the price, ($79.00) for a thin flannel it's going back to LLBEAN.

Just received my flannel shirt today and I am very disappointed, it looks nothing like the pictures it is very faded. I ordered it in Royal Stewart Tartan to match my dogs coats I ordered last year from here, my dogs coats are a bright red and my shirt is very faded and looks like it has been washed hundreds of times nothing like the pictures. Not sure if this is how it is suppose to look but definitely does not look new.

This is really cozy and soft, but small. I upgraded to the tall size, hoping the arms would be longer. They were, until I washed and dryed it (on low). Now the arms are too short even in a tall size. I will have to send back unfortunately. Too bad, I really liked the material and pattern.

I have the blue, love it, but the quality control on the zipper is poor! Can't zip it up! I expected better out of LLB

I've had this for about 6 months and although it is comfortable, it is very unflattering due to the stiff zipper. The zipper is sewn sloppily along the abdomen area and results in a bulge that looks like a pregnant belly. I am a huge fan of L.L. Bean quality but would not purchase this particular item again.

Fits to snug for what I want to wear.

Quality, size, etc was fine. What bothered me is the item was on sale rack and had price on red sale sticker. Later that day i discovered the sale price sticker was the same as regular price under sticker. Very disappointed LL would be this deceiving.

Picked the wrong plaid! The look does not compliment me.

For the price you pay you would expect it to be warmer and for it to wear better after just one wash. It already has pills on it. You know those little balls of material.... It is good looking. But this is probably better for a fall type of flannel. I don't really think it's flannel. You definitely need a t-shirt underneath it because you will be constantly pulling at your collar. I wouldn't buy another one of these and I wouldn't recommend them

Shrunk a lot.. not a good value for the high price tag.

I have never reviewed an item before but feel so strongly regarding this item. I love the plaid's available and style but the material is awful. I washed exactly as directed and the material pills and mats.I purchased three of these which I will never wear.

Maybe the women in the northeast want a shirt made with thin, dainty fabric, but the women in the northwest want something that can keep up with them in the outdoors. The women in my family go snowboarding, and rock climbing, and cliff diving, and they want clothes that aren't going to fall to pieces after the first washing. For myself, I have purchased the wicked good flannel and chamois shirt. Since they are in same price range, I thought I was safe buying these flannels for my daughters. Wrong. They are lightweight and not for the outdoors.

This is a beautiful shirt however it shrunk when washed and dried. Not sure I will be able to use it due to shrinkage.

nice fabric but boxy and short- and I'm a short person. You can't tell how short it is from catalog

Advertised as relaxed fit. It's not. Going back.

Plaid flannel hoodie seems like a great idea. Size was not a problem, but I thought the cut was a little weird and awkward.

Going by the description and reviews, I expected a soft, cozy, generously cut shirt. Instead, it was a bit on the small side, very short and boxy. The material seemed thin. (Not at all in fit or feel like my many other Bean flannel shirts.) Returned it.

I ordered the Vintage Black Watch, which is a very handsome pattern. I'm pleased about that part. I had purchased this same style two years ago, in a gray/white/gold plaid in M Reg, and this time I wanted a roomier fit, and opted for the Pet so it wouldn't look too long and sloppy. But I could tell right away the sizing was off and this was going to be too small. I washed it before wearing -- according to instructions, cold water, delicate cycle, very low dryer, removed promptly. But it shrank quite a bit. I laid it out and compared with my older one in the M Reg, and the old M is actually about an inch or so wider in the body! And that old M Reg has been washed/dried many times. It's ridiculous to think I would have to order an XL to get a comfortable relaxed fit! Obviously, as time passes, LL Bean seems to be cutting corners by reducing sizes. Very disappointing. And this was top dollar, too -- not purchased on sale. Not good!

On the order it showed a zippered front & dark draw strings. What I got was buttoned front & white draw strings. Fit too tight in shoulders for a XLarge

I have the same product purchased several years ago which has gone through many laundry cycles which has never shrunk and I really love. This one did shrink. I noticed that the label indicates a change in manufacturing location from El Salvador to Sri Lanka. So now I have to pay to return the poorer quality shirt. I used to trust LL Bean quality but not anymore.

fits like a sack which is too bad I loved the colors and the fabric.

Material is not as thick, and everything will adhere to it, etc hair, lint. Sleeves are short when you put out your arms, this has been an ongoing problem and I am 5 feet 4 inches. So I ordered a tall. Never fixed that problem. Starting to be like other companies going with cheaper material and charging more, just be aware. To much material where zipper starts and you will struggle with that. Will buy until Someone else makes a better product with the hoodie.

The facing, lining the zipper, bulks up every time the wearer sits down.
