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

Like the relaxed fit. LLBean now has most of their women's clothing as shaped fits. The only problem is the sleeves are way too long but other than that perfect. Washes and dries well!

I'm sort of particular about my plaid prints and found this one to be exactly what I was looking for since I wanted a blue and green flannel. At 5' 6" and about 115 pounds I bought this in a small and it's loose like a boyfriend shirt which I like. I wear it often and layer it over another shirt wearing it unbuttoned. Some reviews said they missed the buttons on the collar. I personally would not have liked it if it had buttons for that would have made it too polished looking to me. My only complaint is that the flannel does not seem to be quite the quality I order from other companies and those companies actually sell their flannel shirts for less. Upon just the first washing in cold water and drying, the shirt does get a very worn look on the fabric which surprised and disappointed me at first but it has not kept me from wearing it for I am a very casual dresser anyway.

The fabric is very nice The pattern on front of the shirt matches perfectly. But the yolk on the back is not matched. I used to sew a lot and I would not have considered not having the fabric match. They could have cut the yolk on the bias, which would be perfect. The unmatched fabric makes the shirt not as nice as it could/should be.

I have been buying these shirts for a few years now, both replacing and adding because I wear them every day during the fall and winter. Nice quality and comfortable and warm and fun! However and it's a big however, the version sold this year has changed and I don't like it. I bought a few and found myself returning them without being able to pin point what wasn't working for me until I ended up keeping one and then realized that that the style and fit changed. They no longer have button down collars for at least some of the plaids and they are huge and long. I am sorry I kept the one I kept because it just doesn't look or fit like my others and looks sloppy on me. The quality is still decent but the rest is not as desirable at least to me. The 4 star rating is only if the change in fit and style is something you like for yourself because it seems the quality/weight of the fabric (as in not thin flannel) is still there.

This shirt is very warm and cozy feeling. The size is not true. I bought a medium but unforunately had to give it away and reorder a xsmall.

I love these shirts - they are the only gift I ask for every year at Christmas and I buy them for myself as well. I'm now up to 10 of them, in both misses and womens (although only 7 were willing to have their picture taken). But . . . I really miss the button-down collar this year; it was one of the features that made these shirts look more upscale than the typical flannel shirt.

The plaid is beautiful and the weight of the flannel is nice...not too heavy, not too light. BUT, it does run large. An XL is sometimes too small for me, but this shirt fits very loose and the sleeves are about 3 inches too long. Not sure if I am going to order a Large (afraid it might be too small).

Relaxed fit is great comfort and fabric soft. I do wish the flannel was heavier like the men's so the shirt would be warmer. Need to wear with a turtle neck for warmth.

I love my new shirt. Size is perfect and fabric so soft. Fit is great. Sleeves are not too long.Washes well. Just the right warmth for this climate on our coldest days in southern california.

Fit nice, good fabric, nice looking shirt.

Soft and very, very warm. I tried both medium and large and chose large because I liked the look of a big shirt, but this was just a matter of taste. I'm broad in the middle, shirt size somewhere between medium and large, and this medium was not too small. I love the Stewart Victoria--different from my other flannel shirt plaids, somehow reminds me of my childhood.

Fabric soft and comfortable. I'm 5'7" 155lbs and usually wear large tops, glad I purchased a medium because it fits loose. Bought the black/green plaid, will buy another color.

soft and warm - great for over a polo or to wear alone with jeans.

Great flannel shirt except its a little big. I am 5'6" and 130lbs and ordered a small. Next flannel I order is going to be an xsmall. Shirt is very lose and doesn't cling to by torso but I would like it to feel like a shirt and not a tunic. Regardless still love the shirt and will wear with a long sleeve and comfy leggings!

Been searching for a "good" flannel shirt for a few months. Most are thin flannel wannabes. Decided to look at LL Bean as I have never ordered from them before. The flannel for these shirts has a nice weight to it. Not the heaviest but more substantial than others I have looked at. Ordered both the 2X and 3X since I know not every size fits the same between manufacturers. The 2X fit but was shorter than I liked. Also, without a pleat or shirring at the bottom of the back yolk, movement is somewhat limited. The 3X is much more roomy and is longer. I didn't measure the difference in length between the two. I did measure the distance between the buttons, 4-1/2 inches, which is way too much. My girls are not that big and I had to use a safety pin between the buttons to hold both sized shirts together. 3 to 3-1/2 inches between buttons would've held the shirt together nicely. And speaking of buttons, when I opened the Princess Mary there was a button hanging on by a single thread. It came off as I was pressing the shirt. So quality control needs to be a little more careful. All in all I like the shirts. Would like them so much better if there was some tweaking in the design for easier movement and placement of the buttons.

I loved the flannel shirt. It's absolutely perfect in every way other than the plaid does not match down the side seams. For the price of the shirt there is no excuse for this oversight. I would have purchased another for a Christmas present but didn't because of the side seams.

I like this shirt: warm, soft, well-made. I especially like that it has a pocket (often missing from women's shirts) & is long enough to stay tucked in when I sit down. If I could change one thing, it would be to put the second button higher up. When the first is unbuttoned, the shirt opens about 3.5 inches below my collarbonea little too far, for a shirt designed to be worn in cold weather.

I really expected a heavier weight flannel in these shirts, but the weave is nice and close - not loose and weak, like so many are these days. It should be fairly durable. The fabric is soft and warm, especially when layered with a turtleneck. I machine wash them in cold water, then hang to dry.

Runs a little small I think but feels great after you cut out all the tags in the back and side.

I've tried less expensive plaid shirts and, at least in this case, you don't get what you don't pay for. This shirt, on the other hand, has rich color and doesn't shrink after washing. It's cold, cold, cold for weeks on end where I live, but it's often too warm inside, so I wear this shirt with a sweater under by down coat and then the shirt alone is usually all I need inside. My only wish is that this shirt had more cheerful color choices.

I LOVE this shirt and bought two of them last year. I bought the exact size and item this year in a different color. Disappointed. The top button ( on the relaxed and slim- fit) has been changed and is significantly lower. Thus my neck is much colder. I have a handicap and can't get turtlenecks over my head. That or a T-shirt would help. Not sure if I'll send it back. I love the cozy fabric and color. Just don't like the draft and less modesty. Could you add another button at the top?

These shirts are warm, stylish, and everything you would want in a flannel. I've washed it a handful of times and the color hasn't changed at all. My only problem is it seems to attract lint, I washed it according to the care tag but it still happens, (I'm open to suggestions as to how to cure this if anyone has any!) Size is true, I find it a little long but I like mine a little longer, it comes down to the top of my jeans' pocket. The sleeves fit properly. I was a little concerned that relaxed would be too big/boxy but it isn't at all. It's perfect.

I had bought a Signature plaid flannel shirt and the sewing quality was excellent, especially as the plaid matches everywhere! So I bought the Relaxed Plaid, expecting the same quality. It is comfortable and I have received compliments, but the plaid doesn't match.

Great petite sized flannel that actually fits! Warm and cozy, but tailored for a small body!

Blackwatch and Wallace flannel shirts are superior, Gray Stewart big disappointment.
