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

The wife was really looking forward to this flannel shirt. But the very first time she washed it, it came out pilled. Very disappointing.

Loosely woven so pilled after first wash. Looks horrible for such an expensive shirt.

This shirt was one of the very best I have ever had - very attractive colors, super soft and comfy fabric, and perfect fit because I ordered a tall for the first time. Unfortunately, I will be returning it. After wearing it for one day, it was pilled all over the sleeves. First time I have ever been disappointed in an LL Bean product, and I have been a fan for several decades...

Shirt was beautiful and warm but shrunk right away

Excellent product zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I have been purchasing flannel shirts since 2017. The quality of this shirt has diminished greatly over the past few years. The flannel of the shirt that I just purchased pilled after the first time it was washed; the shirts that I bought in 2017 look better than this one. These button down shirts used to have eight buttons; now they only have six which causes a sloppy fit.

What no more lifetime warranties? Now you are really no better than other stores

Ordered a red flannel as a gift and a different color was delivered. Recipient lives in different State and didn't want to go through hassle of returning and reordering.

Wide, square, boxy shirt. Colors are nice, length of sleeves and torso length are great for Tall people.

I bought this shirt, washed it in cold water and line dried it. I wore it one day and noticed a lot of wrinkling and also started pilling, therefore am returning it. The fit was good and liked the plaid. I've never seen this happening to the flannel shirts my husband wears all the time.

The material is thick and warm, but after the first wash, the shirt pilled!

This item was soft and I liked it initially, but after one wash on cold without drying, it shrunk significantly.

had to return to get a x large, tall-the sleeves were way too short. I bought a large tall and was too small. I bought it for Christmas for my daughter and that is what she normally wears. I have 3 of these for myself and had no problem with the size-maybe it's mis- marked but it sure didn't look like a large, tall. I returned it and am waiting for another one, hopefully I don't have to send this back.

Length of shirt after washing = too short. When I raise my arms, skin shows around my middle.

I could not wait to get this flannel shirt because it was the same color and pattern that I had bought from LLBean 20 years ago! After delivery I tried it on and the medium sized petite shirt was a bit roomy in the shoulders. I washed it in cold water that night and dried it on the delicate cycle. When it came out of the dryer it was horribly pilled! The fabric looks so pilled another washing would make it look threadbare in places! I am so very disappointed in the lack of quality product from LLBean. For comparison, my old shirt has never pilled after 20 years! I have a side by side picture that I will upload after this review is posted. I am in the process of sending the new flannel shirt back. I will exchange it for some other clothing item.

I have bought several L.L. Bean flannel shirts and this one after one wash the material is fuzzed all over an looks crumbling I like the color but really disappointed in this shirt. I tried to add photo but couldn't get site to use it

The shirt initially appeared as expected but after wearing and washing just twice I have serious concerns about the quality of this item. I followed all laundering instructions on the tag and cut short the drying time to air dry. Yet, the 3X shirt still seemed to shrink and both times I wore it I was concerned with the straining of the bust buttons. The flannel has seriously pilled and appears old and worn, completely unexpected after two short wears.

Fabric quality very disappointing. I purchased Bean of Freeport Cream. After 4th wash I noticed a few fabric pills. After 5rh wash entire shirt covered with pilling. Compared to Gap flannel shirts which were half the price (sale) of the LL Bean shirt Gap's were far superior in quality.

Soft, comfortable & fits well. Warmth without too much bulk.

I bought this 3 months ago because it is just the cutest pattern. And sadly, it'll get tossed at the end of the season rather than kept for next year. It is thin, which I thought would be fine. But then it pilled terribly and shrunk up and out. If I wear a vest, I can hide the fact my layered long-sleeve shirt underneath is so much longer. I'm used to flannels pilling after a few years but this is by far the worst one I have and is by far the 'youngest'. I bought 2 different patterns. Same story for both. I'm glad I returned that third one.

The women's royal red scotch plaid flannel shirt pilled and shrank after two washings! The shirts from past years have held up beautifully but the 2024 fabrics have been a big disappointment. We depend on LL Bean to offer quality first.

I've been buying these flannel shirts for many years - live in them through the winter. But the latest incarnation is much thinner flannel and the craftsmanship is well below usual LL Bean standards. I returned the latest because it was so thin and the bottom of the pocket wasn't completely stitched. I'm very disappointed because I need to replace the shirts I've worn out over the years.

I returned this item. The cuffs of the sleeves were stiff with some sort of lining and a long placket with excess buttons, making it awkward for rolling up the sleeves. The collar was also stiff. I laundered and ironed the shirt, using a small brush to remove pilling from the fabric. While this worked to soften the body of the shirt, it did not help with rolling up the cuffs.

Washed before I wore it according to wash instructions, like everything I do, and am very disappointed with this shirt. Terrible material, it pilled and looks like something I have owned for 10 years! I am returning it to the store when I am in the area next week.

I've been buying this style of shirt for years. Prior to this purchase, the side seams were matched or close to matched. This one seems as if LL Bean didn't even try. Nice quality but if the mismatch will bother you as it does me, you might want to pass. I'm returning the shirt.
