Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Chamois Shirt Regular

I ordered two Chamois shirts in size large tall. One shirt was made in Nicaragua and fit was pretty well, the other shirt was made in El Salvador and is bordering on being too large. I have older Chamois shirts that I bought where the fit ran on the small side. The shirts are very well made and comfortable it just seems like sizing needs to be tweaked for consistency sake.

I have been buying these shirts for years and have always thought highly of them. In fact, the last three shirts that I bought are a size smaller than my usual size because they are cut so generously. They are also among the softest and warmest shirts I have ever owned. That being said, I have recently found something that is becoming increasingly annoying: the pockets on the shirts are too short to accommodate a small smart phone (iPhone 6s). That is not only true of this shirt would also your canvas shirts. Fortunately, with those I removed all the buttons and replaced them with bits of Velcro. The chamois shirts are too heavy to do that with.

I am very pleased with this shirt. Excellent quality and very sturdy feel. My rating would actually be about 4.8 if that was an option. I would only suggest that the pockets be a little deeper (at least 1" deeper). Your average pen or phone is about 6" and the inside of the pocket is only about 4 3/4" deep, so the flap sticks up like a flag when you put something in it, which is a little dorky looking. (By the way, my profile nickname is supposed to be SuthrnMan4Christ. Don't know how that got changed.)

Initially wanted a yellow one, but it was out of stock. Next choice was navy blue, which was in stock and in the size I wanted. Easily ordered, paid, shipped, and received all according to the website. I am extremely satisfied with the purchase and with the overall experience. Thanks.

I answered no to the question "would you recommend to a friend", I would if he was either somewhat smaller or larger and I thought the shirt would fit him OK. I wear Medium size in almost every shirt, sweater etc that I own. Sometimes shirts run a little small and I go to a large. I ordered a medium in this shirt and it was huge. I returned it for a small and the small is a little tight. I'm going to keep it but don't think I would order again. Hope it doesn't shrink.

This is an American classic.You should own one.The quality is outstanding.It is a very thick and warm shirt.Or is it a jacket?Anyway the fit in size small did work for me because it was too tight in the stomach area.The rest of it fit very well.So I did return it.I know the medium would be too large.The older versions of this shirt fit me better.

It's a shirt. I could end there but will add that it's comfortable, very warm, and good looking. Because it's 100% cotton I bought a size larger. After a wash and dry it fit almost perfectly.

As long as you order up a size it's great. I purchased an XL size and it was like a bathrobe. I washed in hot water and is now a perfect fit.

I generally buy shirts XLG this shirt is too large for me.

This is a great quality chamois shirt, I bought the xl which my husband always wears in other brands, this ran a bit large, the color and softness are excellent though. Next time I will order a size down.

This shirt, while warm, comfortable and practical, lacks a variety of colors. Granted it only has colors that mesh with those an outdoors man would identify with,but some customers do their hunting and hiking from the recliner and thus do not restrict their colors. Please expand those available. My only complaint is that the pockets are unique and take a little adjustment for the wearer - not enough of a problem to remove it from the "I approve!" list. Barb

Fits great, looks great, warm and thick. Haven't laundered it yet so I can't give it a 5. So good I bought another. The ideal winter all around shirt.

wears well, great fit

It's a nice shirt, but the material is thinner than the chamois I used to get... The fit is perfect and it is of a decent quality.

A great shirt for the cold winters here in the north. Great alone or with a turtleneck underneath, it does wonders to keep husband warm on our coolest days. Washes beautifully and is soft and comfortable. Highly recommend .

Great product but. DO not order your usual size these are way too big! Being in the apparel industry for 30+ years i can tell you someone goofed. Buy a smaller size although that wont help the length which is too long

I made the mistake of ordering the classic chamois shirt in the chamois color without reading prior reviews. I had several in my closet of other colors during the "Made in Mexico" era and presumed a large then is a large now. Wrong! The large fit me like an xxl so I exchanged for a medium which fit great in the body and a touch long in the sleeves, but acceptable. The shirt thickness and material quality is outstanding, but LL Bean must return to its traditional sizing convention or face the risk that customers (longstanding ones like me) will flee due to the inconvenience of managing returns. I've been buying from LL Bean since my high school days in the early 1980s and this sizing unpredictability has really shaken my confidence in ordering other items.

This is a beautiful shirt that is a thick, heavy flannel but despite the comments by L L Bean, it's way too big in sizing even when it was purchased specifically to wear over another shirt. Disappointed, but we will be returning for the same in a smaller size and then wash it for sizing first. I sure hope I do not have to pay to ship it back when the reviews had such mixed messages!!! A large was more like an XXL!

Wanted the solid Navy, received the plaid Navy & Dark green. Without trying it on (MY Husband said it's TOO large. Measured against other LLBean chamois. It was 2 inches wider.

I would have to say that this is more of a jacket than shirt. I ordered in navy & red in a small size. this shirt feels very large in the sleeves & shirt tail length. They appear well constructed & made with fine material. They are lint magnets. you will need to use a lint brush.

This is a great shirt, but, it's a magnet for lint, dog/cat hair, dust, and anything else that might be around. Even running through the dryer on freshen up cycle, doesn't remove everything. I have to use one those clothing removal rollers and even then it does't get everything. On the positive side - it fits well, warm, and doesn't fade.

material and quality are great, I normally wear a large in most shirts but had to exchange the large for a medium and its still a little long. I wear this as a light weight outer layer/jacket

Great shirt but the pockets are too small to hold a cell phone! Please fix this problem.

I love the chamois shirts. I have been buying them for years. Very reliable quality and sizing, although the one I just received seems to have longer sleeves than usual. But otherwise a great LL Bean item.

Great shirt but it runs large. I always were a medium but I had to exchange for a small. That being said, this is a very warm, comfortable shirt.
