Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Shirt

I love the scotch plaid flannel softness and vibrant colors. The shirt is true to size. My only comment would be that for those of us who do not use a dryer (after the wash), the surface of the cotton flannel looks weathered. The fibers seem to not bounce back. Otherwise, I am completely happy with LLBEAN

This shirt was smaller than in the past. I bought a medium since I am small chested. In the past, I returned the large in this because it was big and boxy, but this one was a shorter, more snug fit, and I was afraid that it would shrink after being washed, so I am returning it for the large. Even if I was at my ideal weight of 150lbs, it will still be too short for my torso and potentially too snug to layer.

SCRATCHY TAGS sewn on inside of shirt just below collar are unbearable. One tag says L.L. Bean and a separate tag says Relaxed Fit with another tag sewn onto it that gives size & where shirt is made. I cannot wear the shirt with tags irritating my neck so I use seam ripper to slowly, carefully remove them. The stitches are VERY tiny so this is a tedious process. Please use no tags at collar line or find softer tags or use larger basting stitches to attach labels so removal is easier. Shirt itself is very soft and comfortable.

I like to wear my flannel shirts layered over a tee shirt, so I bought the petite XL. It looks like the petite refers only to the length, which is definitely shorter than a regular length. Almost too short for me at 5'2". The shoulders are too wide but the fit at the bust is good for me, with a 38" bust. I wish some of the choices were smaller patterned plaids. I love the color choices but at my height, wide bands of horizontal plaid stripes aren't great. However, I'll keep this shirt because for me it's more about the warmth and comfort of flannel than being stylish. It washes well on cold, no wrinkles out of a cool dryer cycle.

I bought this shirt (medium petite) to wear as an overshirt when the house is chilly but a sweater is too much. It is comfortable and fits well over a turtleneck, though the sleeves are long on me, so I turn back the cuffs. Only complaint: after a few wearings, the fabric is starting to pill a bit. I like that it is machine washable, which most of my sweaters are not, since I wear it while cooking. I have not yet washed it, though, so I can't comment on how it will stand up.

I love the fit and workmanship of these shirts. I noticed the new ones I recently purchased have one less button and no longer have the back pleat. The removal of the back pleat restricts movement somewhat, notably when chopping wood, or carrying groceries. The missing button causes gaps, the shirt doesn't sit as flat below the neck.

I bought a black watch version last year and love it. The blue one I bought this year is the same weight and style, but it shrunk in length when I washed it (cold water, dried on low). I'm still keeping it; it's not like it's up above my belt or anything (luckily I'm short-waisted). But I much prefer last year's. It's possible other colors just don't shrink as much. Also, FYI, the arm length is now perfect on me but I ALWAYS have to roll up the cuffs on shirtsthis I no longer need to after washing it. Long armed people beware. So, I recommend it because it's beautiful, but beware the length.

I like these flannel shirts. I purchase petite size and the sleeves are a cuff too long. I just roll them up. I get the flannel pj's also and sleeves are too long also. I don't like the pj's as well as the ones I used to get from Bean as the material is not as soft, buttons are too small and button holes are too big. Have to alter them. I am buying pj's somewhere else presently. They are a LOT cheaper also.

Slightly large, but I prefer it be a little too big than too small, so I can wear a silk camisole underneath in cold weather. Nice soft flannel that washes well on gentle and dries on low. I have a bunch of these shirts and wear them most of the time from fall thru early spring. I'd also like it if Bean brought back chamois shirts for women (including PLUS sizes!) that could be worn over a long-sleeve T-shirt. And the Silk Pointelle Camisoles in PLUS sizes!

I expected a more flannel product. This may be flannel but it's thin and not flannel-like. I like it. and do wear it.

Flannel is very thick and warm; good quality. The relaxed fit is a little larger than I anticipated. I may try the more fitted style next time.

This shirt is the usual beautiful, hefty flannel I've come to expect from ll bean. However, the 'relaxed fit' description of the item is erroneous. I've purchased a multitude of items (flannel shirts) and this is the first petite XL 'relaxed fit' one that is fitting me like a slightly fitted one. I love the hooded relaxed fit flannel zip shirts I've purchased in the past. They are roomy and so comfy. This shirt is lovely and I will be keep it. However, if you are looking for 'roomy' I'd suggest going up a size. I'm a Mom of a 26 year older and 30 year old. So I clearly no longer have a 'young' body. I'm physically fit with a fairly small chest and what I consider to be average shoulders and arms. I now have a tummy and not much of a waist. My hips are wide. So- overall the shirt works. It's just not the amount of 'roomy' in the hips that I expected. Lovely color ANGUS. Love the purple red black color scheme. Deep rich colors.

I already have a collection of these shirts and pretty much live in them all fall and winter. This is the first one to be made in Nicaragua. All the rest over several years have been made in El Salvador. All are 100% Cotton but this one suffered from some extra pilling when washed the first time. I needed to put some elbow grease into getting it cleaned up. I ironed it and hope it was just the first washing and doesn't happen again. The beauty of these shirts is they wear like iron and never look worn or show their age. I hope Nicaragua didn't change anything.

I had ordered one previous to this. I got shirt and short washed on delicate to get chemicals off. It's great color and soft and you can wear it as a shirt jacket with a white t shirt. I love all my LL Bean clothes/products. A button was about to fall off and I hadn't worn it yet. That is my only problem. I don't have time to try to send it back because of work, so I'm fixing it myself. I love it so much I want another one.

I bought this shirt for warmth and comfort following recent surgery. It is definitely a relaxed fit. The fabric is very soft and warm. My only complaint is that I would have liked another button just below the neckband so that the shirt doesn't gape near the neck and so that the neckband button is optional.

I keep buying Bean shirts and have three of these flannel shirts. Cozy, comfortable and work well alone or over a shirt. What I don't like is having to remove the stitched on labels from the back of the neck on each and every shirt lest I get scratched to distraction. I also straighten the hems on all my shirts since I never tuck them in and don't like the shirttail look on me.

Soft, warm, comfortable.

This flannel shirt is very warm. I wish it were a little longer but otherwise like it. I ordered one size up from normal and am glad I did.

I love the color and feel of this shirt. However, I wasn't overjoyed with the quality of the material. I guess I hoped that , for the price of a flannel shirt, it would be somewhat more like the quality of your chamois shirts.

Curious as to why the button down collar for women on all of LL Bean's shirt have gone the way of the Dodo bird. Really like my old button flannel shirts and cotton shirts. Have to go elsewhere to find the them. Annoying because I liked those old LL Bean shirts... pls consider bringing back at least one style for women with a button down collar for us old preppies.

it is comfortable warm and has lovely colors. i would like it to be a little longer by about an inch

Your products are always high standard.

Excellent material and well made. Collar, cuffs & button plaque well interfaced so continue to stand up after washing. I don't use a dryer so I don't know what happens after going through dryer cycle. Wash & hang dry it looks great over and over. Colors stay true. Warm fabric.

Loved the quality. I ordered a Petit XL and it was too long in the sleeves, so disappointed there.

Even though the shoulders and arms were good fits, and the fabric is dreamy, I returned this shirt - unless you are definitely planning to wear something substantial underneath it, it's just way too roomy through the body -- it would work well over a turtleneck, but I wanted to wear it solo with jeans, which was kinda frumpy looking.
