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

I love the idea of this shirt. I ordered the tall and find that somehow the sleeves are still not as long as they should be. And somehow it's also not actually long enough. In general I find LLBean clothing to be "boxy" and not very flattering, and sadly this was no different. I was hoping their tall clothing would open up a new world of clothing options for me, but this is not the case. I was very disappointed in the fit.

The zipper was flawed. Was almost impossible to zip. For the price I would think one would be able to use the zipper

I ordered two of these in different plaids. The colors and plaids are as I expected. I am returning them because the zippers on neither of them work. Unzipping is fine until hitting the bottom and then they both stuck - pulling hard did pull the zippers apart but then, due to the stitching on the bottom, neither could be rezipped. Since this seems to be more than a coincidence I will not be reordering.

I got this not just to use as a quick light "jacket", but also to wear under a wool zip hoodie that I got from LL a few years ago. Unfortunately, the latter is all it can be used for now. On the third day of wearing it as a quick throw on, I notice the whole thing was covered in pilling. Not even just places you might expect it, but the whole thing. It was so cute, and so comfy, and now it's reduced to just being a liner for something else. I don't know what's happened to the quality of some of the LL Bean products, but it's quite sad.

Bad quality fabric. Thin and piling already. It feels cheap.

Fit was fine. A bit narrow at the hips but what is really disappointing is how thin the fabric is. It isn’t even as heavy as a regular flannel shirt. For $70, I expected something heavier. It feels like very thin felt. I would think it would rip easily. I m returning it.

The arms are tight, especially below the elbow. There is fit improvement in upper arm shoulder area (from previous years) but not much. The abdomen area is far too wide. So it can not be used as a shirt, nor as a jacket. when I returned the shirt, LLBean did not refund my original method of payment. They sent me a gift card instead. If I could give a minus five to product and customer service, I would do so.

I washed this item a few times in the washer since purchasing it. This last time however, the jacket shrunk so much I'm missing a good three inches between my hand and the sleeve. It's embarrassing and uncomfortable. I'm so disappointed this expensive flannel is now ruined. This flannel really needs to be made with longer sleeves.

loose strings. unraveled some of the lining of the sleeve. when i washed it everything linted in my laundry load.

Returned. The upper sleeve did not allow for a lightweight shirt to be worn with this jacket. Otherwise a good fit and well made.

Fits stiffly with the shape of a bell when zipped. Has something to do with stiff hem and seams. It was a gift. Tried it on and now takes up closet space. If I ever wore it Id hide it under a coat.

Men's scotch hoodie is well made with breast pockets and snaps. Woman's scotch hoodie is inferior and felt like a cheaply made and poorly constructed knock- off. Returned

I wanted to like this item but had to return it. I have long arms. I bought the tall size and even before washing the sleeves were several inches too short.

Tried three times in the Dress Buchanan. I thought this would be a reliable buy in my size but they changed the cut of the petite large. It is two inches smaller in chest and 1.5 inches shorter. I cannot stretch my arms out fully without it pulling, it is small all over compared to the previous two I had purchased in the Dress Gordon and Bean of Freeport Hunting a couple years ago. Furthermore, the zipper is hard to start and unzip at the end, they have the insert pin tucked in between both sides of the fabric. Also noticed the zipper lining is a lot stiffer fabric and the color doesn't match the fabric like the other two did. The old zippers zipped freely without issue. I will not purchase this again until the fit and the quality of the zipper mechanism is the same as it was. I am very disappointed as this was one of my favorite items on here, and the only flannel I'll purchase as I like the relaxed fit to work in and I don't want buttons. If I go with large it will be too long in arms and probably length as well. A couple of pics to show how the length has changed and also the zipper issue. I do appreciate LLBean trying to help with reordering but after the third one with the same issues, I figured I should give up. I really hope it's just this batch.

Beware. Adorable looking but fabric collects everything....lint, hair, fuzz, etc. I am bummed, too, because It looks so cute before you wear it.

The cuff ripped off the sleeve after the first wear.

Loved it when it came but when trying it on it wouldn't zip. The bottom of the zipper is inaccessible and when we were able to get to it it didn't work. However a new one is on its way. We will see if it was just a fluke.

I thought this was so cute and right up my alley. I was wishing it would have been on sale when I purchased it, but I went for it and paid full price. I washed this ONCE and the whole shirt is full of little pilly balls from the flannel. I am very disappointed after paying $70 for this shirt and only wearing it once.

Zipper is terrible, pulls apart. Not worth the money.

great flannel top with versatility to layer with a turtle or tee

This shirt runs short and snug, like many LL Bean shirts. I discovered the Tall sizes cost 25% more than the regular, and then noticed Plus sizes also cost 25% more. What is up with that? A few more inches of fabric should not require such a huge price difference. Further, if the price of fabric were the reason, Petites would cost less than Regular, which never happens. On principle, I refuse to participate in this charade!

I found the Regular XL a little snug and short, so I thought I'd give the Talls a try. I was shocked to see that a Tall XL is almost 25% more than a Regular XL. Seriously? That's pretty outrageous for a few more inches of fabric. LLB, please get with the retail program and offer one price for all sizes. It's hypocritical to charge the same for Petites (less fabric) and Regular (more fabric), yet jack up the prices for Talls and Plus.

The pocket adds a thick layer of fabric which is uncomfortable. I will probably never wear this but have washed it so probably cannot return it

I have a Portuguese flannel shirt that I love, so I purchased this thinking it would be a great addition to my wardrobe. Although the fabric is the same, the style and fit are not the same. I usually take a MP. This shirt was tight across the chest and in the sleeves, wide towards the bottom and was not a good look for me.When the hood is up, it is loose and has a funny shape to it. The plaid did match up, but the zipper was very stuck. Took a while to get it loose before it would work, but the middle part of the zipper was wavy instead of flat, indicating to me that it may not have properly sewn in. Have been buying majority of my clothes at LLBean for years, but this one is going right back.

Again, I had to return this item because it was NOT worth the money I spent on it, especially being LLBean. It was extremely thin, short in length, arm length was also short. I have never had to return anything from LLBean from all the years I have ordered items. They need to have actual people review and try on this and all items before put into production. I would NOT recommend this to anyone I know. Very, very shocked and disappointed.
