Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas Plaid

I have to say I do really like the pjs and bought a size medium. But when I washed (normal cycle) and wore them for the first time, the top seemed really small and the bottoms were huge! I wear a 36AA bra and my pants are a size 8. Maybe I received a lemon set - top small and bottoms large and tagged wrong?

Someone at the factory miss ordered to buttons for the top. They are too small and easily slip out of the holes. Buttons come undone during sleep and other times during wear. I have to safety pin the top so I don't flash anybody. I was disappointed as they are super soft, washed well and fit well. Please fix this LLbean!

These pj's became pilly, colors appeared to run, and looked dirty. Not great LLBean quality item.

I have worn and loved L.L. Bean products for many years, and the two pairs of these PJs I bought are the first items with which I have not been completely satisfied. That said, I would NEVER buy another pair of these PJs (as much as I like them otherwise) because the amount of lint and "debris" that comes from the flannel is almost unimaginable! I have washed them three times and still cannot wear them without "shedding" everywhere I walk. Something is dreadfully wrong with this fabric!

Because I love my LL Bean flannel PJs and flannel nightshirt bought ten years ago, my husband surprised me with 2 more pairs of PJs and another nightshirt this past holiday...he used the size Medium I had on my older pair. I am so disappointed. Oh, Bean, what have you done... 1) I prewashed one set only to notice out of the washer that they shrunk. I aired dried them and held the top against the other new set to see that the top was now two inches narrower and about half an inch shorter. The top was way too tight in the shoulders. The pants are just huge. I take a 30.5 inch inseam and the Medium pant were 5 inches too long as well as very wide in the legs, yet the thin elastic waistband was uncomfortable. 2) The quality of the flannel is not what LL Bean use to be known for...it is cheap. The shedding is seriously bad and, as I found with the nightshirt, continues after multiple washings. And when I compare the fabric of the new set to my older set, the older set is a substantial flannel...when I hold the new set up to a light, you can see the light through it...and I have worn the new night shirt, made of the same inferior material, and it itches a bit. I appreciate that LLBean needs to make a profit, but to use such inferior quality flannel that shrinks and sheds and is thinner and still charges a high price, well, it is not a way for repeat business. I will be returning both Mediums, even the prewashed one...

I ordered my usual size Medium and a Small. The pants on the Medium were really wide in the hips and out of proporation to the top. The small top was too tight. Both of the bottoms were really short and barely covered my ankles. The ladies offerings are lacking in tall sizes compared to the mens. Two stars for the nice fabric and pockets.

The top is too narrow through the chest and gabs. The bottoms are roomy. Not happy with the fit at all.

It had been a long time since I had a pair of Bean flannel pajamas. And I loved them so much that I decided to order a pair in the Black Watch Plaid. The P.J.s arrived in good order. They fit well and were very soft. I washed them with mild laundry detergent, following the instructions on the label. When I took the pajamas out of the dryer, there was so much lint/flannel fuzz from the pajamas in the dryer's lint basket that I was kind of taken aback. After washing, they don't feel quite the same as when I unboxed them. And now, I almost don't want to wear them because the flannel fuzz is pilling all over everything...the furniture, the floor.... ugh! Such a disappointment. My other Bean flannel pajamas did not do this. I am glad I purchased them with a holiday discount because they are most definitely not worth their full price, and probably not worth what I paid for them considering that I am reluctant to wear them. :-(

I've had these a year & worn them 6 months of that year. I never could button the top because the shirt is cut for a man - not a full-busted woman. However, the bottoms were a nice fit (since I have a flat bottom anyway) - not tight in the least. Tonight I bent over to hang a Christmas ornament on my tree and RRRRRIP!!! A HORIZONTAL tear across the bottom! It's like the fabric was thin and cheap and just gave way. For all the money I spent on these and the reputation of LL Bean, I expected MUCH better and longer wear. So disappointed and unhappy.

The buttons are too small for the thickness of the fabric. Fit is great, fabric is cozy soft, but if you move around in your sleep you wake up with ALL the top buttons COMPLETELY UNDONE! I'd rather not have to check myself before emerging from bed. Would be fine if buttons were a bit larger to withstand the weight and tension of flannel.

Bottom was way too long, while top was tight across the shoulders. Usually Medium is just right for me. The color was not as I expected. I'd wanted a bright Royal Stewart plaid of primary colors, but this plaid is very muted and dark. I'm returning this item.

These are nice, well made pajamas. But, though they are supposedly petites, the bottoms are baggy and inches too long for my wife. Will be returning them today. (Already returned them once for a smaller size. It didn't work.)

I love the warmth of these pajamas; however, I am truly disappointed in the fabric. I washed the PJs prior to wearing according to the washing instructions, and the fabric is now piled up, knotty. Really, really disappointed in this. I will still wear them. Love the plaid and feel.

The fabric was wonderful, soft flannel--the cut of the bottoms were good...generous and comfortable. The top, however, the arms were the width of a size small. I ordered the Women's 2X plus sized--while the cut around the chest was ample...I felt like the Hulk in the arms! The cut was off for the plus sizes.

These PJ's were great for about 3 weeks, but they are PJ's so I wash them weekly. Now, 8 weeks in the fluffy flannel is gone and the thinness of the material is apparent. I happened to be holding my arm above my head in front of a window. The sunshine was showing right thru the fabric which looked like gauze with strands criss-crossed everywhere. At least that explains why they are not warm anymore. Need to wear a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. As for the sizing, wasn't a problem. The petite small was very large and long, but shrank so much, the pants are actually at the top of my ankles. Very disappointed as I have waited a few years to buy these given the price... looking again.

I have owned at least 10 pairs of these L.L. Bean flannel pajamas over the years. Although the flannel is as comfortable as it has always been, I am disappointed in the size of the pajamas. I have always worn a size medium, and this year the pants are too large. I agree with the other reviewers that these pieces should be sold separately. I also dislike the change to the elastic design around the waist and the addition of buttons on the sleeves.

I bought Medium PJs last year. I could grow 2 inches and gain 25 pounds and they'd still be comfortably loose. The fabric is vaguely, not strongly, reminiscent of LLB of winters gone by. And why the tiny blouse buttons on flannel? Two stars because I love you.

The Petite is supposed to be not only shorter in the leg length, but also in the rise from the crotch seem to the waist band. These pajamas have a waist rise similar to regular pants. I am 5 foot and the waist comes up almost to under my arms. The pants fit in length and width. I have normal proportions.

If you like loose fitting comfortable flannel pajamas order up one size. I wear an 8-10 and ordered a medium because I was assured that the cut was generous. Hah! The top fit as though is was a button down shirt. The quality is good, but don't know how the fabric would fair with shrinkage after washing and drying.

The sleeves on the top are at least 2 inches shorter after following the care instructions and drying on low. Also, the seam ripped on the seat the first time I wore them. These are not worth the premium price!

I initially loved these pajamas! But after only 3 months of having them they ripped in the seat and are now unwearable.

I ordered these pajamas thinking they would be of the same quality as the pajamas I bought for my husband last yr. What a disappointment. My first warning was when the package arrived. I couldn't believe my new pajamas fit into such a small mailer. When I opened the package I learned why. The flannel is a much lighter weight. Very disappointing, especially given the relatively high price. (Based on my recent experience, there are better quality options available for comparable price.)

I'm 5 feet 7 inches and the medium tall pajamas were too long

I had read that LLBean had the best quality flannel pajamas, so I bought these recently. The flannel is not of good quality. It is rather thin, and not soft at all. It's even starting to pill. At this high price I am terribly disappointed.

Both the top and bottom of this set are very very large. I thought it might be a men's set, but it does say 'women' on both pieces. Fabric looks very nice. Thick enuf and soft!
