Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Chamois Shirt Regular

I have purchased LLBean chamois shirts for almost 60 years. All previous shirts machine washed and dried completely wrinkle free. This latest chamois shirt came out of the drier with sleeves so badly wrinkled that ironing was necessary. The body of the shirt was however wrinkle free out of the drier.

Bought the Navy and Wine colors of this shirt. Both shirts fit perfect before washing. After several washings and hang drying these shirts the sleeves were so short I don't wear them any longer. Will be donating these and wouldn't buy again.

I am a life long customer of LLBean. My Dad grew up in Brunswick and we would visit Beans in the old upper loft location every chance we got. I still have my gum boots which I purchased more than 40 years ago. I had sent them in to be regummed and they are as good as new. I have over the years purchased about 10 different chamois shirts for my husband. For this Christmas, I bought him another one. He wanted me to wash it before he wore it to "soften" it a bit. I washed it and the outcome was just so bad. It seemed to have shriveled up. I can only assume that this fabric is different and I am very disappointed because it is "garbage" fabric. I am going to wash it one more time to see if it changes. I may have to call for a return if I am not pleased with the outcome.

I've had several of these chamois shirts in XL Reg for years but can't replace them. I've tried to purchase new ones several times but the sleeves are now 3 inches longer in the same size and fit. Now I know why the catalog model wears this shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

If I wash this shirt it will shrink to not be able to wear it. Expensive and not true to size.

I have been buying the chamois shirt for 20 years for my husband. Always loved how looked. Laundered really well and last a long time. The one I bought him last Christmas was really wrinkled, even tried ironing it and the wrinkles would not come out. Was so disappointed. Thought about trying again this year, but afraid the quality will be the same as last year.

I've been happy with many chamois shirts. Recently, however, they lowered the second button, now 3.5" between it and the collar button vs 1.25" before, so that my now undershirt shows. Not happy!

When these heavyweight Chamois flannel shirts came out, I first bought 2 in solid colors. They started out a little stiff, and I figured they'd soften up with a few washings. Unfortunately, they did not. So I'd recommend paying a few bucks more for the plaid Chamois shirts, which are made from the same pattern as the solid ones but not the same fabric. I have 6 or 7 of the plaid shirts and they start out softer than the solids, and only get more comfortable with each washing.

I think LLBean sizing has changed. Tall is HUGE and Regular is Big

Fantastic and thick fabric. Horrific sizing. The sleeves are super wide in the arms and the overall shirt length is extremely long. I bought a small. My typical size is a medium (38-40 chest; 15-15.5in neck; 32-33in sleeve; overall length 26-28 in). This shirt is longer by approximately 3-4in.

Bought this shirt for my husband , I washed according to directions It shrunk 3 sizes !!!

I have been buying your Chamois Shirts for five years now. I just received my last one today. It feels tighter than the ones I have. I have been buying an XL shirt for years. All fit fine to me because I like to layer a few shirts on underneath. I can't say that I can do it with the lastest one I have purchased. Not much freedom of movement. I am little surprised about that. I tried on one I have purchased last year and there is a significant difference in the roominess. What is going? I noticed the tag that it is now Made in Sri Lanka. Why are you raising prices while finding a country in Asia to have them made? They were perfect when made in El Salvadore. I am a little disappointed. Is the quality control gone down? I'm sorry to sound so harsh but I love your shirts. Now if I were to write a review a year ago, this chamois shirt would have received five stars. I hope I can do that again in the future.

My husband has worn your chamois shirts for years. However, we do not care for the fabric that is in this shirt. It is not as smooth as the previous shirt we purchased and it catches lint when laundered. I would have returned it, but I laundered it before I realized the difference.

Nice fabric and color. But HUGE. Ordered another ll bean button down in the same size and it was several inches slimmer and shorter. Had to return. Wish there was free return shipping.

I thought this men's shirt might work for me, a woman, but the fit was wrong and the fabric was too stiff.

Great shirt but runs very large, I'm 6 ft 250lbs and the xl is too big on me, that's first .

I finally bought one of these and it is not worth it. I have some old chamois shirts from Cabelas and they are thicker, roomier, warmer, and they also have the "double stitched seams" that they brag about on here. I will buy more of them from the big auction site even though they are used, before I buy another one from LL Bean.

I ordered a medium, my typical size, and it was ridiculously too big. Incredibly baggy and unnecessarily long. I'm 6' and 190 pounds, and when I wore this I looked like a kid wearing his dad' shirt. I'm sure it's great for all the guys who are 6'5" and 250 and looking for a medium :) It's a shame that the fit is so strange, because it's otherwise a well-made and comfy shirt. I have an older version that fits great, but had to return this one.

This XL shirt although very nice was huge! Needed to send back to exchange for large and haven't received any acknowledgment of return so far.

Nice shirt but runs very large. The XL tall was huge on my husband who normally wears that size

Cheap lightweight fabric compared to the same style and brand shirt from years past.

Careful traditional fit XL in this shirt fits like a 3xl, compared to other slightly fitted shirts from LL Bean. Customer service wanted to charge me to exchange the shirt for return shipping.

It was not a good fit. Size large usually fits me well but this was so large it was very baggy. Also, the color looked different in the picture

Very unhappy with material. It was very stiff and uncomfortable. Would not recommend

I bought this shirt for my husband as he has the exact same shirt (large) from several years ago and he loves it. Well, the Dark Lagoon color was not the same color as several years ago and the large size was way too big, so I had to send it back and exchange it for a medium. The two shirts were made in two different countries, but a size should be standard along with the advertised color!
