Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Scotch Plaid Shirt

I am 5.2 124 lbs and ordered a size petite medium so to wear over a t shirt. I only gave it 4 stars because it falls shorter on my hips than I would like. That is the problem with petites that they usually not only make the sleeve shorter but cut the length.

I have mixed feelings about this shirt. The good things are that it is well made, nice weight of fabric, fits well and has adjustable sleeve cuffs (something I've not seen in any other flannel shirt). The down side for me is that the back hem curls up after washing. That drives me crazy, and it just seems wrong that I would need to iron the hem for a flannel shirt. I would also have preferred that the shirt be available in solid colors, including some neutrals. But overall it's a good shirt.

Nicely made shirt but on the small side in my opinion.

Runs in the wash. Use a Color catcher. No ironing needed. If removed from dryer quickly.

A very comfortable shirt and very warm, can be used in favor of a light jacket!

Love the color & the weight of the flannel. I wear a large & it was slightly tight.

I have a few of these shirts and really like them. A lot of the plaids are dark so if I get a new one I'll go for something a little lighter. I've noticed some of the mediums running a little smaller than my old shirts, but the large petite was too wide on me. I'm 5'5" and 140lbs. I reordered a medium regular in the Dress Gordon and got one that fit perfectly. I don't put these shirts in the wash because they shrink; Not much but they're not as relaxed and soft, so getting the fit right is important.

The sleeves could have been a bit looser as well as the body of the shirt . When it says relaxed fit I expect it to be looser and not so constricted for a sport shirt. It feels too dressy to just bang around in. It was well made and the material is nice quality. I felt the way its made is more for dressy than everyday hanging out in. I prefer my flannel a bit more softer and flexible. For this reason I havent worn it yet and possibly may return. I cant see spending that kind of money to use for how I wanted it for. The style and color were spot on and was exactly what I was looking for.

This shirt stays soft and cozy unlike other brands I've purchased before. I didn't give it 5 stars because it does shrink, so I have to order a size up. Otherwise it's perfect!

Excellent in every regard, except the sleeves are a bit too long for a 5' tall woman.

Great shirt, problem with sizing. I'am a 8-10 got the Med. which just fits. Fabric wonderfully soft.

Very soft flannel. Well made. Bought XS Petite, as a gift for my daughter who typically wears size 0-2. Although she likes the shirt, the fit is boxy and oversized and has to be returned.

Nice, comfortable shirt. Love the color and feel. A little baggy around the waist.

Would have liked an inch or so longer in body, but is wonderfully soft and warm!

Nicely tailored, warm and soft> Would deserve 5 stars except for the price, which is high.

This is a soft and cozy flannel shirt! It is wonderful for chilly winter days. The shirt runs big. I usually wear a size small but needed an extra-small in this shirt. (I gave the small away and bought myself an extra-small.) What I don't like is that the plaid pattern is mismatched on the side seams. This is a cheap way to make a shirt; a way to cut corners and save fabric. Usually, nice, quality expensive shirts ( like LL Bean) have the side patterns line up front and back in a continuous line.

Great to have the right sleeve length! Wish I had washed before wearing the first time: fuzzed on the new top I wore under it. I thought there was purple in it, but it is really brown. My Scottish ancestry hasn't been honed to know a family plaid.

Back slimming darts would make the shirt more complimentary.

I love the color and fit of my plaid shirt, but it seems like the material is wearing down in the front. I haven't washed it yet so I hope it rebounds.

Grateful for tall sizes! Wish arm length was a little bit longer and slightly more fitted body.

I like the color pattern of this shirt a lot. It's a bit more subtle irl. Very soft but thinner feeling than my previous Scotch Plaid shirts. It might fluff up with more washings - idk. I hope it's as warm as my others.

It says relaxed fit making me think it would be like a boyfriend shirtloose. I went by what they suggested which is a size larger than what I buy usually. It was a bit snug around the bust (thats not relaxed to me). The shirt was very well made and the flannel feels nice. Im going to be afraid to wash if it shrinks it will be too small. The sleeves are a bit long. I had to cuff them and im 5'6". I dont usually spend that high for a flannel shirt to bang around in.

Fits well, nice colors, very soft, not too expensive

Runs large. Didn't shrink Great weight for cold weather Bright colors

Like it but seemed to shrink a little after I washed it.
