Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Scotch Plaid Shirt

I've had the shirt for 3 weeks, I've worn it a lot because I enjoy its softness. However, it has already started to pill under the arm. I love the color I love the feel of most of it but it's already breaking down.

This fits well, is soft and warm, and the pattern is beautiful. I'm disappointed in it because the second button from the top is too low. It leaves too much of an opening at the neck so it considerably reduces the warmth, but the top/neck button is too high to close comfortably. I suppose they designed it this way to make it more "feminine," but if I want to be feminine I'll wear a dress, not a flannel shirt. Also, the threads at the buttonholes are not finished well and keep looping around the buttons. In the future I'll go back to buying men's flannel shirts in size small. They don't fit as well overall but at least the button placement doesn't expose my chest to cold air.

After two tries I had to give up on this shirt. It is hard to spend the money on two returns and still not have a shirt. Can't afford to risk trying another one on!

This shirt was great until it was washed for the first time. Washed on warm and dried on low. Unfortunately the sleeves are now a good 3/4" shorter than before it was washed. I bought the tall for the sleeve length so the shrinkage is disappointing.

I was disappointed with the quality of the flannel fabric. It is much thinner than the same shirt I bought a year ago. I wouldn't recommend this shirt if you want a real flannel one.

Nice shirt! Surprised to find out it was made in Sri Lanka! A little bummed that a button fell off immediately while trying it on. Would have given it 4 stars if that hadn't happened.

I purchased matching shirts for my daughter & me. We loved the plaid and mine fit fine, but my daughter was not happy with the fit of hers, so it was returned.

Have a number of these shirts. Current selection muted blue Buchanan is really darker than online ( online colors always a problem)' I'll be keeping it but it's not a nice color! Too dark mostly green/brown. Should have gotten the green one!

I was very happy about the colors and tailoring. But the quality of the material was already piling out of the dryer on the first and second wash, so far.

Shirt was good quality, fit well and looked neat and trim

Ordered the BlueRidge, totally love the colors and pattern

It's a gift for later. So I can't answer most questions. You too often want answers where info is not yet available.

after only one washing this shirt is all pilly and worn looking

I returned the size 1X shirt because the sleeves were way too short for me. Otherwise the shirt seemed nice.

Heavier fabric than you used to sell for women's flannel shirts. Washed it on cold dried it on cooler cycle still shrank. If I had known it would do that I would have ordered a larger size.

Unfortunately it was a gift and was returned as the fit was not right although the size was similar to sizes that were previously recently worn by the recipient.

This is a nice shirt overall. The sleeves always shrink after the first wash with LL Bean flannels, so they always land above my wrist. If you're tall keep that in mind. The quality isn't what it used to be. The other pattern of this that I bought had a pull in the fabric across the front, so I don't wear it. That one makes it look like a used thrifted shirt. I do wish there were more colors available and my size wasn't sold out in some of them.

Nice plaid pattern, soft flannel, but it runs small. I had to size up from medium to large.

Same great quality as other flannels in this line. However, the color is awful! I returned it.

sz14, 5'2. Nice shirt, but L (recommended) was tight through the back and sleeves seemed narrow.

I'm not happy about how the hem at the back curls up. The directions say do not iron. What should I do about it?

Love the feel and colors of this flannel shirt. I ordered up so the top would be roomy, good thing I did because I find the top runs on the smaller side

Not sure what is the problem with the fabric, but it does tend to pill and look wrinkled after very few washes. After buying three last year and having that issue, I decided this year to order another since I love the color options and how they look when you first get them. However, I only wear them as shackets over a t-shirt now, so I won't have to wash as often.

Love the colors and the fit is good. The flannel, on the other hand, needs an upgrade. It's soft, which is nice, but too thin. It's already piling and I've only washed it 2-3 times.

I have two others of this shirt in significantly different colors. I thought the "indigo" with some cream and tan in it, would offer some nice variety. Unfortunately, seems that they're trying to cut costs and cutting the fabric a little smaller than previously. The other two tartans that I have, same size, petite/small, are indeed relaxed fit. This one I felt like I was stuffed into a sausage skin. Upon comparing the shirts, literally back to back, the back was narrower, the two front halves were each a little narrower, the armhole was significantly smaller. Sadly, returning.
