Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Chamois Shirt Regular

Nice color and fabric but cut was way too roomy for me and it is very long in the body so I can't wear it untucked. I returned it for a slightly fitted version.

I bought the green and navy colored chamois and love this shirt, it's really comfortable, perfect on my shoulders, arms and collar but it's ridiculously long! This would've been 5 stars for me but this is NOT a traditional shirt length (I bought the regular not the tall)

We were optimistic about finding a brand with a medium tall option. Sleeves are ALWAYS too short for my husband who it tall and lean. However the MT was still HUGE on him and the sleeves barely long enough. The length was insanely long. Sadly sending these back and still looking for a good option for a slimmer fit with long sleeves. Great color and feel of fabric.

I loved a brick-red chamois shirt which I bought years ago, but I wore it out. I monitored the LL Bean website to see when that color might become available. In September I bought a chamois shirt with the solid Deep Wine color, which appeared dark red in the catalog. When it arrived I found the color to be even darker and more brownish than it appears in the catalog and less cheerful than my previous brick-red chamois shirt. Without trying it on, I returned it promptly. I hope that LL Bean will offer a more cheerful solid red men's chamois shirt soon. I know that LL Bean has cheerful plaid-design chamois shirts, and I have one of those, but I like the solid color shirts as well.

I've been buying the "L.L.Bean green" chamois shirt for 50 years. I lost mine last fall and am now told that it is a "discontinued" color. This is the color that most of your staff wore when the weather cooled off! This is the product and the color that most represents L.L. Bean clothing and it's been discontinued? Hard to believe.

Generally pleased with this shirt which I use as an overshirt. However, the cuffs fray badly long before there are any other signs of wear. Do not last sufficiently long before this occurs therefore I consider them unsatisfactory.

My husband is unhappy that the sleeves shrunk up with this shirt. He has had other Chamois shirts from LL Bean but never had a problem. Something has changed.

Terrific shirt that would be 5 stars except for its fit, which gets 1 star. I have three other shirts like this one, in differing colors, all in large, and on me they are roomy for layering yet fit well. This shirt arrived in a size large that is so very very large that I looked like a pre-schooler in his dad's over shirt. Order at least one size smaller than usual.

I returned my first chamois shirt as after the first wash it shrunk by about 2" on the sleeves. I have purchased this item every year for at least the last 10 years and have never seen it shrink like this. So I got a replacement which I've washed once and did not put it in the dryer even though washing instructions say you can put it in the dryer. I was disappointed since I've never experienced this issue in the past. You need to speak with your material supplier to provide you with a fabric that will not shrink after washing.

Color for the chamos was more brown or tan. Not what appeared in catalog.

I have purchased two other LL Bean Chamois shirts in the past. The latest shirt recently delivers was too big but more importantly the shirt felt like heavy wool and not a softer chamois. Things must have changed.

Nice stitching and fabric but XL was more like XXL. Sleeves much too long and body was huge.

This shirt is cozy and well made, but they run long! I returned a large, which I was swimming in. The medium fits well across the chest, but still hangs a good 3 inches below my jacket. I'm going to look into getting it hemmed, but I wish there was a shorter option!

It would be fine except it is much too big. I hope it will shrink when washed. Otherwise, I'd return it, except I have lost the purchase number. I hope I'm not just out seventy bucks!

I love this shirt - but!!! I ordered a medium and it fit perfectly out of the bag; but after the first washing it had shrunk enough to be unwearable - tight, sleeves short, a stretch to button. So, I ordered a large, which out of the bag was way too big, which I expected. I then washed and dried it once, and it had shrunk to the size of the out-of-the bag medium, fitting perfectly. The lesson is, buy it a size too large and expect it to fit after it's been washed. I called customer service about this, and, being LL Bean, they of course agreed to a return and refund of the shrunken medium.

I really want to like this shirt. It is a good weight for winter. But the sleeves are so short it is almost unwearable. I was hoping to wear this as an overshirt, but the fit is very off. Sorry but I cannot recommend.

Nice shirt, very warm, but the sleeves are way too long. Sleeves go down to my fingertips

I've tried various times over the years to purchase shirts from LL Bean but they're all cut like giant sacks. This shirt is beautiful but I was swimming in the small (and I usually wear a medium in every other brand in the world). Frustrating.

I have worn these chamois shirts for more years than I care to admit. The sleeves are too long and the pockets have no slot for pens. On balance, though, they are still the best out there. When I'm rich and famous, I'll have my tailor custom make the shirts that will knock your socks off!

I bought my first chamois shirt from LLBean over 40 years ago. It was a fine shirt, and I wore it for years. But, the single flaw in design continues today. The pointed corners on the pockets curl up, and look like they should be pressed down. But, don't bother trying, they will roll back up again. Most shirts from other outlets, have mitered corners -- they don't turn up.

Great shirt, but I'm 5'9 and the small fit like a dress. Way too long. They should make the same fit but shorter.

Large size was EXTREMELY large.

This is truly an excellent shirt. The weight and feel are exactly what I was looking for. The only caveat is that it is a tad too long on me. Medium is my usual size in most flannels and outer wear including other items from LL Bean. This particular shirt is cut a bit different. I'm not on the taller side of the scale so this might not be an issue for most. I'm keeping the shirt because it truly is a thing of beauty. The length issue can be corrected by a tailor.

The large was exchanged for a medium. The sleeves were very big in circumference from shoulder to elbow, and the overall look was just too big. My husband has many large LLBean shirts that fit well, but this was an exception, and the large shirt seemed far bigger than the one he had years ago. Recommended with a caveat for size.

I have 2 other chamois shirts from LLBean that are getting a bit threadbare, so I thought I might order a new one. Unfortunately the sizing has changed tremendously since my last purchase, and the shirt was about 6 inches longer and fuller that my other size mediums. Rather than try a small I opted for the Signature version in medium. That line is a bit tighter than I prefer, but at least the body was an appropriate length. Hopefully the original version can find its way back to the old sizing.
