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

I initially ordered this flannel in a 2x. When it came, it was so large it felt like a pajama. It easily had 8-10 extra inches of width until I washed and dried it at high heats which shrunk it to a more acceptably loose but still sloppy wear. So I then ordered two other colors in a size 1x. One of those fit perfectly out of the box and the other was so small it was tight across my chest and the buttons gaped open. The buttons are too far apart on all of them, perhaps in an effort to save money on production. The quality of the fabric is nice, thick and soft. The pattern does not match up on the sides however. I wouldn't risk ordering another at this cost with the inconsistencies in sizing.

I have purchased many flannel and chamois shirts from LLBEAN over the last 40 years. I have ordered the same size for the last 25 years. The fit has changed. It now is tighter across the bust. Will pull and even gap a bit. I can wear my old shirts and this doesn't happen. The fit has changed. I do not like it. Will need to rethink my willingness to purchase these shirts in the future.

I have been wearing LL Bean's flannel for decades. LL Bean's flannel used to be gorgeous: double-brushed and substantial without being bulky. The quality of this shirt has really taken a nosedive. The flannel is insubstantial and the hem curls up, which is a pet peeve of mine. It shouldn't do that. Also, the shirt shrunk like crazy, although I washed in cool and dried on low. Fortunately, before I washed it the the size small was probably a medium, so it still fits - - but barely. The only reason that I didn't return this shirt is that I don't know where to find quality flannel anymore.

The catalog picture showed this as the primary coloring a medium gray. The actual shirt is overwhelmingly red, with some dark gray hidden in the plaid. I returned it.

The same problem I experienced with the other flannel products I purchased! They were not big enough in the chest!

The colours are a little too bright and the fabric not smooth.

I own 6 Scotch Plaid Relax fit shirts, which were bought at different times. I decided to treat myself to a new one this year. I was so disappointed to to see that the sizing has changed and the quality is not there. The new shirt is noticeably smaller when compared to an older one. The flannel is a lighter weight and has a odd smell. I'm thankful to have 6 wonderful shirts, but I guess that's the end of the line for these, this one is going back..

I received the blue scotch plaid flannel shirt and washed it once and it came out fuzzy. No where near the quality of my previous scotch plaid flannel shirts. The same thing happened with my husbands newest flannel shirts. What a disappointment.

Great fabric, but the styling wasn't what I was looking for. Specifically, the button placement makes the style more "square" than "hip" -

The shirt is beautiful and fits well, however, it pilled in less than a month. I have another flannel shirt from a different maker that Lasted years without pilling. I am very disappointed.

Love this plaid. Nice weight of flannel. Unfortunately, 1st wash, pocket seam threads came loose and it shrank to the extent it was too tight. Returned.

I love the pattern on this flannel shirt and it fits well. However, the shirt had a terrible odor, as though it had sat in someone's damp, musty basement for a very long time. I have never experienced this with any LL BEAN product, or any other clothing manufacturer's products.

Thin material. I have flannel bed sheets that are thicker material than the two flannel shirts purched.

Not the quality I expected from LLBean. Flannel pills, not the same finish as my husband's LL Bean flannels. I have to iron it to get it to look nice. I kept the shirt but will not buy another one.

Don't use fabric softener. Don't iron. Don't dry clean. Too many don'ts. Once you wash this shirt, it begins to pill. I had to take a soft nail brush and brush it down to get rid of the pills. If it truly should not be ironed, then the placket, the collar, and the cuffs are wrinkled. I removed it from the dryer, damp, and took the time to stretch out all of the seams and as many of the other wrinkled areas as I could before hanging it to dry completely. I'm very disappointed in this shirt. When I first got it, I loved it - so soft and smooth - and thought about buying another in a different pattern. That won't be happening!

Poorly made. Let cuff has begun to fray after 2 washings.

Fit is larger than expected and not complimentary. Returned my size medium.

I purchased a Black Watch shirt, after the first wash it was not looking so good( pilling). On the second wash, the fabric was pilling very much, honestly it looks like I had it for many years. For $50 I expected a better quality. Extremely disappointed!

The plaid pattern does not match on the side seams

liked the plaid and the materials quality, but the sizing was not for me......ran big and baggy

Disappointed. Washed once and it is already pilling and "fuzzy". Not the quality I would expect from LL Bean. Will not purchase again. On the positive side it is a nice substantial weight for a flannel shirt.

Shirt had a very strong mildew smell so it was returned. If it were not for that, I think I would have really liked the shirt.

I am genuinely disappointed in my shirt. It looks very much like a man's shirt on me. There are no redeeming feminine features to help; there should be two pockets instead of one, and they should have flaps. There should be slit openings at the bottom of the side seems, and some shirring at the back yoke. I would also have liked it to be a bit longer, for wearing over leggings, etc.

Buttons are too far apart Cheap trick to save on good detailing

To expensive. Will no longer b uy from LL Bean. Quality is no t what it wons was.
