Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Chamois Shirt Regular

My husband has been wearing S regular chamois shirts for, well, forever. I bought him a shirt in S regular that arrived a few days ago -- WAAY too long in the sleeves, at least three if not four inches. I'm returning it. This is really unfortunate, since chamois shirts have been his favorites for years, if not decades. Please adjust the sleeve length on these shirts and drop a hint to that effect in their description on your website -- I'm not going to buy any more until I know that they'll fit.

I purchased a shirt, size medium. The body of the shirt was fine but the sleeves were about 3 inches too long and baggy. It's as if the sleeves were built for a large size.

I have been buying the Chamois shirts for decades. The shirt size that I wear is Medium reg. I purchased one last year, 2015 and it fit. I purchased 2 shirts in Sep 2016 in Medium reg and they are way too large. When I spoke with a customer service rep she explained that last Fall someone at LL Bean decided to change the specs for the Med sized Chamois shirt and to make it larger with 35" sleeves. I wear a 15 1/2 32 dress shirt and a 42S sport coat. Based upon LL Bean's size chart I cannot wear a Small either. In my opinion LL Bean's decision to make the Med shirt larger is a terrible mistake and has cost them this long time customer. Please see the comparison pictures of the 2015 and 2016 shirts.

I'm tall and thin so I figured that a tall medium would fit. It made me look like a 10 year old who had to burrow his dad's shirt. I could have fit 2 of me in there. The arms were surprisingly long too. I could pull my whole hand in there. The material was awesome and the style would have been great if not for the sizing. I had to return it. I'd suggest that any one who doesn't want to use one of these as a tent should look into the 1933 Signature Chamois Shirt. Unfortunately for me, those are much more limited in colors and I couldn't find one that I liked.
