Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas Regular

I am 5' 6" and ordered a medium regular, in accordance with my waist size on the size chart. The pajamas seemed very nice, but were way, way too long to fit me. LL Bean - Please allow a selection of inseam sizes.

Sometimes change is good. This time it wasn't. LLBean's Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas used to be so very very comfortable for sleeping. But now unnecessary pockets have been added to the pants; the structure of the elastic waistband has been changed and is now less flexible and much too tight; and an uncomfortable (and unnecessary) draw string has been added to the waist. Please go back to your previous, wonderfully-comfortable design, LLBean. THAT change would be so much for the better!!!

I bought these for my husband a couple of years ago and the length was perfect. The new pair I just bought is a good two inches longer than the old pair. I will either need to hem them up (can't sew though), return them, or my husband will step on them every time he walks and then they will quickly fray. Yes, I recommend them if you are on the tall side, but don't want the tall size. No, I don't recommend them if you are shorter than 5-9.

The flannel fabric that these pajamas are made of sheds fiber. You will have to vacuum your bedroom daily because of "bunnies" of fiber coming off in unbelievable amounts. You will also find find a lot of cotton fiber in the washing machine and drier filter. I suspect the fabric will become threadbare quickly because of the rate of fiber loss. I gave it 2 stars for the pleasant skin feel, but I will not buy LL Bean flannel pajamas again.

I purchased this pajama set and upon receiving them was delighted. They were soft, warm, fit large but they were comfortable. After a few months of wear they developed a tear in the fabric, right at the crotch. Not the best. I figured, maybe this was a fluke. I setup a return and immediately bought a replacement pair so as not to go without a pair of pajamas. Received the new set and, within a week, the fabric tore again. The same exact spot. Its not a fluke. These are not well made. Very disappointing. I would suggest looking elsewhere.

I'm 5' 6" and ordered a regular size mediumthe size I typically order from LL Bean. The pajamas were way too big. I would suggest that LL Bean make the pajamas available in various lengths to better fit.

These flannel pajamas shed all over the bed sheets and the floor even after they were washed. They also shrunk. They feel thick and luxurious before washing and thin after one washing. I would have returned them but I could not find any other flannels for my husband.

I wear 34"waist and 32" length pants, and medium size shirts usually fit fine. I ordered a medium in these PJs. Leg length is ok but the waist is tight, almost to the point real discomfort. Sleeves hit me just above the knuckle and it's a little wide in the shoulders, so a large size wouldn't be the answer. Also the colors are misleading in the online pictures. The gray is much more dominant then pictured and the red is not as bright. I'm wearing them and I'll keep them for now but if I gain a couple pounds they'll be off to Good Will Industries.

I ordered this PJ set as a Christmas gift for my 90 Dad. I was so happy to order this PJ set as they are not a popular choice and hard to find in stores. I was confortable in ordering from LL Bean knowing that their quality standards are high. Well, that was until I opened the package. The frabric is flimsy, the cut of the PJ shirt looks off, the arm holes are too high, I question the comfort across the shoulders. I've worked in the textile business so I know quality at a glance. Being from Canada this purchased came to $80. At this price point and a LLBean item I am very disappointed and in a panic before Christmas.

Material and quality is there. The pajama pants were fine but the top was fine through the waist but binding through the shoulders. The armholes were high and small. The top would be uncomfortable to sleep in if you much around much at all in your sleep. I would think that pajamas would be "relaxed" fit and not "slightly fitted" as so much of L.L. Bean items are now. Disappointed and they are being shipped back.

I have been purchasing these PJs for my father for many years because of their comfort and quality. The PJs would last for several years. The last couple of sets I have purchased are of an inferior quality which have lasted just a few months before being relegated to the trash. The material becomes thin and fragile, subject to tears and holes. I am unable to repair them because the material has become so thin. I suspect there has been a change in the material, as it seems much lighter and less substantial than before. I regret that I now will have to find another source for quality PJs for my dad.

These PJ don't fit right. Definitely not like item ID 107923 which I have purchased in the past.

My husband bought two pairs of these Pajamas in December. Wow...I have never seen so much lint collect in my dryer. I swear they must have shed 1/2 of their weight with the amount of lint I've pulled out of the dryer for the last couple of months. Both colors (grey and red) shed like crazy. After about a dozen washings, the lint collector is back to normal but I've NEVER experienced this with LL Bean flannel before these purchases. I've bought at least 6 sets of flannel sheets and many many PJs. Very disappointing. I am okay paying more for a quality product. I'm disappointed this isn't one. I did add an extra star because my husband still wears these quite a bit despite the shedding, but I will wait until next year before I buy any for myself and hope the quality goes back to what it used to be.

I own 5 LLBean flannel nightgowns, 4 in Norway where I live and 1 in San Diego, now my second home. Love them all and they last forever. However, I have a question about the Grey Stewart flannel PJs I recently gave my husband. After the first wash, the dryer filter was clogged with dark lint, there was also lint all over the bottom sheet, and after the second and third wash the dryer filter is still completely full of dark lint. Is this because they are "brushed on both sides?" My husband doesn't feel they have the same "plushness" or warmth as the first time he wore them. Would love to recommend them, but.... Norway/S.D.

Although these pajamas are warm, soft, and fit well, I would not recommend them to anyone because of the pilling of the flannel. It got all over my bed linen and filled the dryer lint filter to capacity. Although improved, even after numerous washings I am still picking some pills from my linen. I am surprised and disappointed that L.L. Bean, a name that I previously thought was synonyms with quality, would offer this product to their customers.

Got it for a present for son. When he wears them there is lint all over him. They are soft and comfortable.

I bought these because from LLBean because of the scarcity of full pajamas these days and my experience with Bean quality. I had these issues with the "Royal Stewart" medium pair I ordered: (1) The color seemed a lot darker than the pair in the catalog, making me wonder if there was an issue with the fabric; (2) After washing before wear, a large and undue amount of lint clumps were left in the washer and were overflowing the lint catcher in the dryer. I mean this was a massive amount of fabric dropping from this garment confirming my suspicions about the fabric; and (3) I'm a fairly slender 5'9" guy who buys M clothes which universally fit me just right, but the legs of these PJs are 3" or 4" too long, as if for a L or larger size. (4) Unlike some of your reviewers I do like the drawstring feature added to the bottoms rather than just elastic or buttons to adjust the waist as thinner people need the added adjustment a drawstring provides. In all, I'm very disappointed with the quality of the fabric and the too long cut of the bottoms of these PJs.

The pj's were a good fit. When I first washed them, the entire load was full of clumps of red flannel. When they were put in the dryer, I had to clean the lint screen twice because of all the flannel on it. Even after all that, everywhere I moved or sat, I left traces of red flannel. I even put them in the dryer alone, and still got more loose pieces off. Then I find that it's going to cost me for return shipping. I will not purchase anything from LLBean again. Thanks

We ordered a Tall Large for a 6'5" slender guy and the fit is good; the fabric is soft and nice looking however as several other reviewers wrote the fabric is very cheap and messy. I washed before wear and a significant amount of lint came off the PJs; fine lint was on the bathroom floor and in lint screen after two more washings; on the fourth washing-- still excessive lint in dryer screen --I am sending back. Quality of fabric is lacking. Note: We have enjoyed many wonderful LLBean products for this tall guy but the fabric is the issue here.

I bought one for Christmas and the fabric ripped I returned it and bought another one Same thing happened Fabric was very thin

Bought these classic flannel pajamas in January. It's been a cold winter in the Northeast. Here we are in the first week in March, the seam in the crotch has opened up. Too much ventilation -- LOL. Bummer when I called LL Bean customer service. I mentioned it was a product defect and not a fit issue. I asked if I could send in just the bottoms for replacement. Rep was defensive, saying "we'll make the determination" and not using any comforting language about being well within the one-year return period and understanding the desire not to generate textile waste by sending in a perfectly good pajama top. So the product sucks and the LL Bean service mantra is lacking, too.

This is the worst product ever!!!!! It shed blue lint and fiber all over everything. This is so substandard for an LLBean product!! I have found much better and for less than half the price elsewhere.

Sleeves are too tight. would prefer button cuffs, nice and soft but a bit too warm. Good qquality.

Initially the pajamas seemed much larger than I expected for a size small. So I hoped they'd shrink when washed and they did. Sadly they also shed such a large amount of lint that the other clothes in the wash came out covered to such a degree that even after 2 more washes I am still picking lint out of them. The dryer filter is also full of lint each time.

The drawstring to the bottoms broke after the first wash! I was able to secure it by knotting it back together, but for the price, I was disappointed it broke so quickly.
