Customer Reviews L.L.Bean The 1912 Overshirt Long Sleeve

Sleeves are short. Like weight and overshirt roominess.

It has a very worn and vintage look. I would have given it a 5-star if the colors were more vivid. The shirt looks like it was bought at a thrift shop.

The Rangeley Blue shirt had a few defects when it arrived new. Fabric had unraveled around one of the center buttonholes and required mending. Buttons on the shirt pockets and the buttonholes on the flaps were not aligned properly and the shirt fronts did not hang properly with the flaps buttoned. Repositioned the pocket buttons to help the shirt hang smoothly. Would recommend with reservations due to possible manufacturing defects in the garment.

It was a pretty color and fit well. However, the pockets were set back to far on the shirt and you couldnt put your hands in them comfortably. Very awkward.

Liked the fabric and color, however, heavy and bulky. Was not the quality expected for the price.

I absolutely love this fabric, the texture and the color/pattern. I am full chested and find pockets on my breasts a bit too much coupled with a boxy cut. I would much prefer a longer tail type cut...and maybe only one pocket.

Nice color but a little bulky. Stiff even after washing.

This is a comfortable shirt, the sleeves are about an inch too short, but I'm tall (5'9") and arms are longer than "normal".

I didn't care for the material that it was made from, so I gave it to a friend. Sorry. I prefer the flannel shirts for women. I'll stick to that.

I love an oversized shirt with pockets, but the placement of the pockets was awkward. They too high on the sides to comfortably walk around with hands in the pockets. The pockets also bulged out, making the bottom half of the shirt bulky and awkward-looking. If the shirt were slightly more fitted/streamlined and the pockets better placed, I would have kept this. I am 5'4, 130lbs, and ordered a size Small.

A shirt jacket. I didn't care for the fabric. In other words I was expecting a bit more of a polished, structured garment, not a loose, slouchy look. Didn't care for the style on this one.

This shirt was beautiful in color selection and as always the construction was spot on, however I did have to return it. The sleeves were just a little too short for my comfort compared to other items and the overall fit was also a little too snug. Maybe size up if you want to wear this over anything of any significance. I'd be the first to purchase an updated version of this, but for me, it's a no thank you,

THE PICTURES SHOWING THE SHIRT ON THE MODELS HAVE THE SLEEVES AT LEAST A CUFF LENGTH LONGER THAN THE SIDE SEAM. MY SLEEVES ON BOTH THE 1X AND 2X SIZES HAVE THE CUFF EDGE HITTING ABOUT THE EDGE OF THE SEAM, OR SHORTER. BOTH SIZES FIT ME LIKE A 3/4 LENGTH SLEEVE. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.

My wife and I each bought two of these shirt jackets because the plaids were so pretty. I do wear mine occasionally. They are not as warm and cozy as my flannel shirts. The pockets are nice though. They do need to be ironed after washing because the bottoms roll up. And one of hers got a pull which then unraveled . She got rid of them.

Didn't get this but couldn't get through the survey without answering

I returned this because I was expecting conventional smooth twill fabric. It was actually looked and felt like a raised knit which felt rough. I didn't try to weigh the shirt, but it was uncomfortably heavy.

I was really hoping to love this overshirt. The beautiful blue color is a plus, and it's oversized, which I love. However, there were a few deal breakers. The loose weave fabric makes it droopy, and it looks faded in its new state. I can't imagine what it will look like after 10 washings (washed on cold, delicate, and low heat). The pockets are also a problem. They're designed too big, with a lot of floppy fabric on the inside that will surely need ironing. Finally, as one person mentioned, the button holes are very tight, but they might loosen up after some "breaking in."

Couldn't unbutton it to try it on. The buttons are impossibly tight.

Shirt would have been nice except I couldn't button and unbutton it. The button holes were too tight. Had to return it.

I bought the pink. This didn't seem like 100% cotton, given the slight sheen to the fabric, but that's what the label says. The weave was quite large, making it seem easy to snag or pull the threads. But it was the construction that had me send it back. Being a bulky fabric, the curved bottom did not lay down right, and so the whole shirt stood out from my body like a lampshade.

I thought I liked this shirt until I wore it for the first time yesterday. I even bought a second shirt thinking they wood be my refreshed flannels this season. Not happening, pockets are enormous ( didn't know they were there until I wore it yesterday). The hem looks like it was rolled up, more like an old shirt, not a new one. Overall oversized, not flattering at all, although most flannel is not.

Material seemed cheap and the fit was tight around the midsection

Cozy but very bulky. Would be nice for snow, not for rain.

I was so happy to receive this shirt. I got it in a 3X, so I thought it would be nice and roomy. The side seam pockets are cavernous. But when I tried it on I couldn't button it all the way. What a disappointment. It feels like the back panel is meant for a smaller size. I'm going to keep it because it's too much for me to return it. (heart and oxygen issues) I would recommend this shirt to a friend with caution.

I really liked this shirt. It's warm, but the material is fraying in several different places. I'm going to send it back.
