Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Shirt

thought color was plaid pinkish and a periwinkle blue. The vertical stripes are red. 3x. A little tight across chest. Shoulders are wide but might be ok after washing. Sleeves length past my fingers. This seems more like a regular size cut larger rather than fitted for a plus size woman. Quality good so gave it 2 stars.

Got this shirt as a gift for Christmas. After the first wash, it showed lots of pilling and looked like something you'd pick up at Goodwill. Also, it runs small. After one wash and barely drying it, it shrunk. I am sending it back. However, it is soft and warm. LL Bean needs to make roomier clothes for women and less "slightly fitted!"

I was so surprised that my shirt deteriorated after one, cold water wash. It's already pealing and seems to have lost the thick soft body it had prior to washing. The colors and fit are as expected, otherwise I'd give one star.

I returned this, the fit is not flattering, wish they still offered the "slightly fitted" version.

When received this shirt was not the same color as on the website. The purple and pink one I bought was red and blue. Fabric is rough and grabs every piece of lint it encounters.

Stiff and coarse fabric is not how this shirt was described but it certainly feels that way.

I ordered a Small Women's size, but shirt is more like a Men's small--sleeves too long, shoulders too wide.

Fit on the back of shirt is unusual. Return it, still waiting on refund which is taking a long time.

It is running too small (or I am getting too big!!) So I was disappointed. Otherwise it is another warm shirt!...love the red!

I really wanted to like this shirt. The flannel colors and feel are great. But that's about all I can say that's positive. LLBean cheaped out on the number of buttons! Seems petty - BUT, by only having 7 in front instead of 9 like they used to feature on their flannel shirts, it gapes open right across the bust if you move your arms...definitely not a good look. I have to fix it by adding five button holes to the front and find matching buttons - or replace all the button in the front and on the cuffs. Speaking of the cuffs, the shirt no longer has 2 buttons on the cuffs, which gave you the ability to make it more snug on your wrist if you have slim wrists. I had to remove and sew the cuff buttons back on in a different position. Also, the shirt is not relaxed - there's less fabric around the hips, so it's too snug. Last but not least, the "side pockets" are useless and the obvious stitching for them makes the shirt look silly. I think LLBean decided to economize by (1) using less fabric around the hips so they could include the useless pockets, and (2) reducing the # of buttons. Poor design choices! I'm keeping it but not ordering any more. At the very least - from now on I'll count buttons in online or catalog pictures of any LLBean shirt and pass on buying any that have only 7 down the front. I would not recommend this shirt to anyone.

Love the colors and feel of fabric....but washed on cold..dried on warm and the sleeves and back shrunk up....the truck area was fine as it was a bit loose to begin with.

I love the pattern and material but the shirt is way beyond relaxed. It was huge and the sleeves were too long to be a petite.

In the past I have been very satisfied with the fit of LLBean petite plaid shirts and jeans. It has been awhile since I have ordered but the fit is not the same. While the sleeve length was good, not too short, the cut thru the shoulders was too narrow. Also the placement of the top two buttons was off , too much space between them and could have used another button on the cuffs. I noticed the pattern on the yoke did not line up with rest of the back and a bit off on the sides. While the plaid was nice and the fabric felt soft I don't know how well it would hold up since short cuts seemed to be made elsewhere.

Baggy around the waist and too short. Not a flattering cut.

Loved this shirt, so comfortable and fit great. Washed on cold and cool tumble dry as per the tag and it SHRANK everywhere so much that I can't wear it anymore so only got to enjoy it once :(

I tried on the shirt before I washed it. Good fit, but flannel does not seem as nice as on previously ordered flannel shirts. After washing in cold water and drying on low...it shrunk enough to be uncomfortable. I will return the shirt and consider trying a larger size. First time in over 30 years I've ever returned something for poor quality.

Very poor quality. Very light flannel. Not worth the price

I loved it until after laundering, according to instructions on the tag. The result was exactly the reason I did not buy a lower priced brand: shrinkage and a fuzzy kind of pilling. One wash!!

I was very disappointed in the two flannel shirts I purchased. I always wash new clothing before wearing. After following all washing directions, there was significant piling on both shirts before they were worn even once. LL Bean's flannel used to be much better quality. The prices go up and the quality sinks.

I bought two of these shirts and they come out of the dryer "fluffy" but wrinkled. I have other flannel shirts from LLBean that are also 100% cotton that don't pill or wrinkle. I'll keep these new ones for around the house wear but not otherwise.

The sleeves barely fit for an xl, seems us larger women are suppose to have smaller arms

Very comfortable attractive shirt. True to size-medium. After 2 washes, fabric pilled and makes shirt look old, will only wear for very casual activities.

Both of my flannel shirts in size 1X relaxed fit have very skinny sleeves. My arms are also plus size. Please add some generosity back into your flannel shirts.

I've bought many over the years but the last 3-4 the elbow section Rips quickly

Over the years I have purchased 6 flannel shirts. The cuts have changed over time. This shirt is just a box with no feminine appeal. Sorry returned.
