Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Shirt

I washed this shirt for first time in cold water wash and cold dry. It shrunk about a size and the material developed pills and looked shabby like it was washed 50 times. Very disappointing. Looks like quality of the fabric blend used to make this shirt is poor/cheap. Not up to LL Bean quality at all.

I'm completely disappointed with the quality control at LLBean. It must have changed within the past couple of years. One size in one top is different then the same top in a different color. If you buy this make sure you try it on first. I made the mistake and ordered a few things online in the same size, yet everything fits different. I don't have time for this so I'm shopping at Bloomingdales. They sell Rails brand that is always consistent.

I got this because is was so highly rated and was very excited to wear it when it arrived. I wore this right out of the package over a tee shirt and in two hours the inside of the sleeves were pilling. After a few more hours, I noticed more pilling on the sleeves and the sides where the sleeves rub. My husband ordered a men's scotch plaid shirt at the same time and also wore it that day, and, while his pilled some, it was not nearly as bad as mine. I washed both shirts together and his pilled a bit more, but mine looks really awful. My husband looked at it and commented that it looks like it is falling apart. I love the Scotch plaid and got this one in the Prince Charles Edward plaid, a nice festive plaid. I really wanted this and am so disappointed that after just one wearing and one washing it looks so terrible. Please LLBean, get better quality material that does not pill and look horrible after one wash and wear. Hasn't anyone else noticed the pilling? Is this shirt supposed to be made from the same material as the men's shirts? It does not appear to wear as well as the men's shirts.
