Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Shirt

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.

I hate writing less than a 5-star review on a shirt I've loved for decades, but the Vintage Tartan pattern that I purchased late 2022 is not the same quality I have come to expect. Instead of a thick, soft flannel that holds up wash after wash, the newer fabric is thin and developed a notably rough appearance after its first wash. By its sixth wash, it became too pilled to wear in public. Thinking I might have received an anomaly, I purchased the Royal Stewart Tartan last September, but it looks like that shirt will follow that same nappy path. Next fall, these newer flannels will be relegated to yard work or worn as a pajama top. By contrast, all of the Scotch plaid flannel shirts that I purchased up to 2015 still look fantastic. Given the price has doubled over that time, I expected to receive the same high quality, not a flimsy fabric where the collar tips curl up if I don't iron. I've never had to iron flannel before, where the heat will make the flannel flat and shiny. Disappointed.

I returned one of these and it was the softest flannel I've ever felt and I bought one just like for my husband and his was the same soft flannel but this one is NOT soft flannel and I even checked to see if it was made from the wrong side of the fabric but it wasn't. The one I returned was the wrong size or I would have kept it. I'm tempted to order it again just to see what fabric the next one is made from. What a big disappointment.

I have this plaid shirt and ordered a new one because mine is a bit worn. This new shirt is about 2 inches longer in the arms and hangs off my shoulders. Same size, in theory, same fabric, now made in a different country. Didn't the pattern go to the new country? It's like wearing my father's shirt. It's being returned. Very disappointed. Ordered 4 items, all going back. I don't know what is going one at LLBean but it's not good. Similar issue with other items that I've worn for years.

This shirt ran very small and narrow, then shrank more in the wash. Unacceptable for the price. Very disappointing

I just love the colors of this shirt, and LL Bean makes such high quality stuff - I really wanted to love this. But it fits like a maternity shirt. The arms and shoulders are perfect, and then the belly area of the shirt is huge. If you're pregnant or have a big mid-section, it'll be perfect. Looks ridiculous on me. Had to return it.

We ordered the darker blue, green black plaid flannel shirt for our daughter as a gift and we were very disappointed in the color when received. It is somuch darker than the catalog picture of the exact same shirt as well as the website photo of the plaid shirt!. So disappointing since we love the quality and softness of the plaid shirts. There should have been more blue and green hues in the shirt when producing it. we do not recommend this particular plait shirt for women; much too dark and it looks all black with No color.

Looks great and fits great when received. Then wash it, color kind of fades a bit and it really shrinks.

I bought this flannel shirt in Large and it fit perfectly. Washed it in cold water, dried it on Low and it shrunk and the fabric felt thicker! This hasn't happened with LLBean flannel shirts in the past but if you buy one, order it larger than your normal size. I'm so disappointed because I was looking forward to wearing it during the holidays.

I was very excited with the colors of this flannel shirt as it can be worn with a multitude of lighter colored shirts underneath, however, now I am embarrassed to wear after only two machine washings (turned inside out to keep from pilling) and only tumble dried on low for 15 minutes each time and now the colors are totally faded and the shirt is pilling and looking like it needs to be retired! So disappointed! Seems like I am only having problems with the ones I purchased made in SriLanka being lighter weight and a more poor quality cotton.

I wore this shirt once and washed on Cold and line dry so it would not shrink. I went to iron before wearing today and noticed pilling on the material. I have Scotch Flannels from previous years and never had this problem. They were washed the same way and look newer than this shirt after only one washing. It's disappointing since I really love the color of Antique Dress Stewart.

Heavy enough to keep you warm but doesn't weigh you down. Great fabric.

The flannel is not good quality and doesn't wash nicely either. So disappointing!

very small for large, was a gift from a friend and we intended to have a twin outfit

I wore this shirt a couple times and washed once, and then noticed that it is not really seen well at the seams and has a hole. On a positive note, the material is a good weight, soft, and warm. I am 5'5", 115# and purchased the Tall Small to have some extra length. I am happy with the length, fit is roomy enough to wear over a hoodie. Just disappointed that the construction is sloppy.

The color wasn't as depicted in online pictures. To return the item cost me over $10! Not happy.

I have been shopping at LLBean for over 40 years. Over the past handful of years I've watched the quality of so many women's items diminish. Shirts are cut narrower and shorter than the exact sizes of the same items from just a season or two ago. I sent this shirt back as it was too small - even in an XL. My usual size is M-L. I do appreciate your return policy as I've sent back many more items than I've been able to keep - especially this past year. I know it's way too much to hope that a good thing stays good. Bean is no longer my go to for basics. Sad.
