Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Scotch Plaid Shirt

A size Medium from LLBean has always been the perfect fit for me but for some reason the sleeves on this shirt are a full 1.5''-2'' too short. Hikes up my arm when I lift my arms to reach anything in front and its an annoying feeling. Material thinner than what I expected of a real cozy flannel shirt

I loved this shirt and wore it constantly when I got it. It's thick and warm and cozy. However, when I washed it for the first time, per the instructions (I washed in cold water and low dry), it shrank almost a whole size. I am so disappointed by the shrinking! It used to be my go-to cozy shirt and now it's more of a fitted dress shirt. I would recommend not drying it, or buying a size up!

For the first time ever, I am very disappointed in the red checked shirt. I wanted the one that looks Christmassy but that's not what I got. The photo shows blues abd greens with the reds. What I got was black with the red and I will be returning it. When I ordered it, it said 'limited numbers'. I guess I won't get a Christmas shirt and I' afraid to try ordering it again as I'd probably get another 'ugly shirt'. The quality looks to be ok, but the color isn't. Too bad.

I was so happy to receive this shirt. The online description said "machine wash and dry" so I washed it, cold water, delicate cycle, with a few other items, then put them all in the dryer. The shirt came out all pilled and looked as if I'd owned it for a year!! I checked the label and it says, "Machine wash, tumble dry low." I'm so disappointed, as the shirt was so nice. I liked the roomy, but not too long, cut. It shrank some after machine drying it at regular temperature, yet it still fits because of the roomy cut. When it arrived I really liked the soft material. It's not a super thick flannel but it felt very cozy and warm enough. Even with the pilling and slight shrinkage it's a well-made, comfy shirt but from now on I'll line-dry it. I realize the mistake is mine. If a clothing label says, "tumble dry low," I wish LL Bean would state, "tumble dry low" in the online product description. I recommend this shirt but only if you machine dry on low or, better yet, line dry it to preserve the fabric quality.

Sorry to say I found the look and fit of this shirt to be subpar. I'm keeping it as a work shirt in the garden but the shirt is not worth the price.

The sleeves shrunk up a good inch in the first cold water wash followed by 10 dry at low temp. I am very disappointed in its' performance.

I've worn these shirts for years and have been very happy until about a year ago. They have gotten progressively smaller and smaller each time. They're still nice, but just be warned. The quality control on the sizing is random and you had better order a size up.

This is the highest price I've ever paid for this shirt and the fabric is noticeably thinner than the same shirt I bought last year in different plaid. I'm very disappointed and will think again before ordering next year

I've bought several LLBean flannel shirts over the years and I was stunned by how much the quality of this shirt has dropped. After a few months this shirt has shrunken several sizes and the sleeves are too short. The fabric is pilled and the color has faded. It is still warm and comfy but I can no longer wear this outside of the house. I won't buy another! What a shame.

I had to return this shirt because the fit was too "relaxed." I wanted a blouse, but could only have worn this with another shirt underneath.

In the online photo the plaid on torso and sleeves matches perfectly. The plaid on this shirt is not matched. I am returning it, unworn, because of the poor quality.

The flannel shirts' (Men's' and Women's)quality has changed over the years. We own some that are over 10 years old and some purchased within the last year. The material seems to be a lesser quality and my most recent purchase has already shrunk. These shirts use to wash and dry and still look new for years. It's one of the reasons I kept buying more, even if they were expensive. I also miss the no iron 3/4 cotton blouses, although I fear if they return, the quality might not as well. They, like the flannels were always best sellers and then disappeared.

I have 10 relaxed fit flannel shirts in size medium. This one I purchased is cut on the smaller size and everyone I wash in low setting loses it's soft flannel feel.

First time shopping LL Bean, bought flannel shirt and after washed (according to directions) was disappointed to see the flannel fabric already pilling. For the price, would have expected a better quality fabric. Would not purchase any flannel shirt again due to this quality of flannel.

Like the feel and the colors. Little smaller than expected.

I watched LLB's video and yes the plaids match up and the buttons are nice. but that's it. I compared the materiial with LLB's flannel PJs (bought last year) and the PJs are a much nicer, heavier material which I expected in the shirt. I don't understand the 5 star reviews for such flimsy material....

I have bought Bean flannel shirts for years. The the ones I bought last month are much thinner than previously. Very disappointing.

I have many bean relaxed fit shirts, but this one is cut differently somehow. It gaps right under the bust when I move, despite seeming to be the expected fit when I stand still. The placket also requires ironing. Fabric and color are both nice. I will be returning it.

I have many of these relaxed scotch plaid flannels and love them all. They are all size medium. This one is smaller than all the others. The fit is close, not relaxed. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until after I washed it and removed the itchy tag. I will be passing it along to a slightly smaller person. The quality of LL Bean has gone down over the years yet the prices keep going up in leaps and bounds. Disappointed.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am in these shirts. I have a few Scotch plaid flannels from LL.Bean I got maybe five or six years ago that are twice as thick. Yes, this iteration is soft, but it's about as protective as a thin cotton dress shirt. The only substance is in the collar and cuffs. If I lived in the south, this would be fine, but there's nothing useful about a skimpy plaid shirt up north. Also, the antique dress stewart is not vibrant like the picture, it's all washed out and weird. I've been eyeing a few of these colors for years and used a few gift certificates to buy them, and I feel like I wasted a gift. There should be some sort of realistic weighting on these shirts so you know which ones are insubstantial.

I purchased a petite small and a petite medium. I normally wear a small. Both were too fitted and too short. Returned will try a size up as I like the plaid a lot.

I have had this shirt for less than 2 months and the fabric is already beginning to show wearI certainly expected more from a Beam's product

This shirt fit everywhere except the sleeves, which were much too long. I don't want to risk shrinkage, not knowing where it will end up. I also found the size chart inaccurate. I think in particular their sleeve length which is really from the neck is way too long.

This shirt is very boxy. I thought it had a more rounded hem. I washed it and it shrunk quite a bit

I have a number of Scotch plaid flannel shirts, and I love the relaxed styling. There was usually a bit of shrinkage when first washed, but nothing that affected the comfortable fit. I was excited to get the pretty blue plaid, as it was really different from all the rest that I have. However, when I washed and dried it according to the instructions, it shrunk so much that it's probably a size smaller now. I'm going to try rewashing and stretching it before hanging it to dry. Hopefully that helps, but I don't have a good feeling about it. If you order this, consider sizing up.
