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

Nice and soft, as well as warm. They make me look frumpy but who cares? They are great flannel pj's. This particular color isn't as bright as it appears in the pictures. I purchased the red plaid too and a pair for my husband. Worth the money as they are we'll made and the material is good quality.

VERY comfortable. Nicely made. I get a pair every year. My sole complaint is that the front facings, the pieces of fabric that back the front two sides of the top, are not sewn down, or sewn in place, so that after they are washed once or twice, they no longer lay flat. I routinely sew them in place myself and then they are fine.

I have bought many flannel PJ's over the years. I love them for their softness and comfort. For some reason this pair was different. The top was a bit tight and the bottoms were roomy. Never have the PJ's fit like this.

Nice quality and warm! Don't wash up and good as expected, hence the rating of a 4!

The top fit well in a size large and I am 5'5" and 150# and like a roomy top so that was ok. However the pants are huge and way too big. I love the flannel and the quality is excellent but wish the bottoms could be ordered in a separate different size. Love the pockets in the bottoms.

Very comfortable, warm, and they feel good. Medium size is somewhat large.

Glad I got the Tall. Were too long when I bought them - had to roll up couple of inches. Washed in cold water and tumble dried low 2X and they shrunk to fit.

I am a small-boned woman with a lot of weight on myself (my waist is big, not top heavy). The XL Pants are too large and the XL Shirt is too snug on the lower half. The material is NICE! But these have to be returned as it didn't fit me properly.

I love these though they are oversized for me. The pants, especially, were too wide. I bought a small to try (and then returned it) and that was slightly TOO small on the top - not wide enough at the waist.. So medium is fine, tho' the pants were too roomy. Too full or wide. (Not sure of the best terminology.) Still, very cozy.

I normally wear an XS in all my LLBean clothing so I purchased the XS PJ. The PJ came loose to allow for shrinkage. After the first wash the PJ shrank to fit. But after the 2nd wash, it shrank some more and now the top is a little tight across the shoulders and not as comfortable as I like. I'm small frame so it would be really tight for someone with broader shoulders. I haven't done a third wash yet and I hope it will not shrink anymore. I washed and dry according to direction. I bought several sets that I have not worn yet in XS and now want to exchange for the S. I really like the pajamas and the flannel is good quality. Just beware that it will shrink and if you want a comfortable fit go up one size.

I had to return the PJs. I have not seen a refund yet and wondering if or when that will happen. The top was too small around my chest. The bottoms are little large. I found that odd, but the material was very soft and I wish I could of kept it.

Love the weight and quality of the pj's! Bought them a little large so very comfortable. My only critique being that I am short and ordered a petite size, the shirt is rather boxy with straight hem line. Would prefer a man's shirt-tail cut to elongate the torso ... so please LL Bean think about it, please!!

I ordered a med. even though I'm an 8 so I'd have lots of room, which I do. I probably could have taken a small. They are very hot. I am very cold natured so wanted them but I wake up hot in the night. Otherwise they are great.

I have worn these "plaid" (they are actually tartan) flannel pajamas for several years. This year I treated myself to a new pair in the Rob Roy. They fit well at first. After two washes, according to the directions, the cuffs are an inch above my wrist and the pants are above my ankles. Will try to see if I can exchange them for a larger size.

I love these pajamas. I ordered two pair (second pair was in a different size because I couldn't get petite; and also a different kind of plaid (the black watch plaid). PJs are soft, flannel is substantial, pjs keep you warm...and they have pockets!! The ONLY complaint I have about these is that they keep shedding little balls of flannel material. I try to wash them a lot, thinking that an ample number of washings will stop the shedding. No luck so far -- then I've only had these for 1 to 2 months. But I would purchase these again anyway...and I would recommended that you buy them. I gave them 4 stars because of the shedding ... otherwise I would give them 5 stars..

The flannel is soft and the fit is good. They're very comfortable. I bought the red/black plaid, and it ran A LOT! There was no indication that I should wash them separately the first time, so I did them in cold water in a load of dark colors. My only complaint is that the lapels on LL Bean pajamas don't lay flat after washings. My husband bought the men's flannel PJs and I had to stitch the lapels down and tack the material under the buttons/buttonholes. My cotton LL Bean PJs' lapel is sticking up, and I have to iron the button/buttonhole area. On the new pair, I button my PJs when I wash them and that seems to help prevent this.

These flannel PJs are warmer than I expected and softer. That's needed when the outside temps drop into the 30 degree range. There's plenty of room in them so if you turn in bed, they mostly move with you instead of ripping. I gave this a 4 star rating because of all the lint that comes off them in the dryer. I'm hoping they will last many winters and not become thread bear. I'm wondering why the laundry instructions for these flannel PJs say to use warm water, but the same flannel scotch plaid shirts (Dress Gordon) give instructions to wash only in cold water. So I've been washing these PJs in COLD water. Now I also like the sturdy elastic waist band- not tight yet comfortable. Having 2 pairs, I switch between "Black Watch" & "Dress Gordon".

There seemed to be mixed reviews on size and quality. I found the fabric both substantial and good quality. Yes, there was initial increase of fuzz released the first couple of washes, but I expect this from flannel. The size was a bit interesting. The bottoms seemed roomier in proportion to the top, however, not enough to make me want to return them. Think I would go for a medium next time.

I like the fit and fabric. The only drawback is that it is tight on the armpits. Could use more flexibility there,

Ll Bean recommended navy thread. If I knew they were going to monogram the name on the black portion I would not have chose this. So Im returning to have the monogram done in WHITE.

The tartan pajamas were warm and cozy. I was reminded of the flannel pajamas my grandmother used to make. It did lose a lot of lint on first and second washing. I hope that does not continue. I use a dark blue long sleeve cotton shirt beneath it so I can be even warmer and more comfortable. I wish they had some other tartans like Stewart or Scott and then I would buy them too.

These PJs are wonderful! The only thing I didn't like is that the laundry tags are hard and itchy (Why three layers?). I cut them down to the seam and the part caught in the seam was still itchy, and now I've ripped some of the side seam trying to get the tag remnants out. I have a sewing machine, and even loaded with red thread because I was working on Christmas decorations yesterday, so it's not a major problem. But on pajamas this nice, it's puzzling to overlook a comfort issue.

I purchased 3 different colors: Stewart Victoria Tartan, Black Watch and Rob Roy. The Black Watch are a little thicker and heavier weight than the other two. I had to send the Rob Roy back because, for some reason this fabric was extremely itchy. The ones I kept are very warm, super soft and comfortable. The one big downfall is the shedding. Thus, 4 stars instead of 5. I had to launder several times before that stopped. However, I feel that the pros outweigh that one con. Pros: 1) I really appreciate the buttoned cuffs, rather than the usual wide wrist options of other flannel pajamas. You don't have all that cold draft going up your arms. 2) The elastic waist is stretchy and forgiving, never too tight. 3) Very minimal shrinkage after laundering. 4) Side pockets in the pants are a nice addition. 5) Fabric is super soft and warm.

Fit: I think I could go with XS, but I like the roominess of S. However, there are many people smaller than I am who would probably find XS to be too large. Fabric: The flannel is heavy and soft, great for cold nights. I'm pleased it is 100% cotton; I can't wear cotton/poly blends. Labels: Sigh. The labels are scratchy. I clipped them as close to the seams as I could, then sewed the seam allowances down where possible to encase the still-scratchy label edges. Please consider softer labels.

I absolutely love these PJ's they are so comfortable and the size is perfect. My only complaint is for the money I spent I think they should have lasted longer. I only wore for less than 2 Winters when the sleeve by the elbow tore from regular washing.
