Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Katahdin Performance Flannel Shirt Plaid

this shirt fits my chest perfectly and feels great , the problem is that the sleeves are much too long for me to use, pity , otherwise this would b my fav shirt

The shirt looks good but I wouldn't call it flannel. It's heavy and canvas like.

Not as well-made (or constructed) as an UNTUCKit flannel shirt, but not bad for the price. LLBean shirts also seem to suffer from sizing irregularities across the board, something their quality control people should look into if they want to stay competitive.

Colors are vibrant as depicted. Fits is good. Roomy but not baggy. However, after only one washing, fabric is starting to pill. For the record, it was washed on a permanent press setting with like fabrics.

didn't realize it was 94% polyester 6% wool flannel

Good but expensive.

Beautiful colors, larger than most men's mediums (almost large enough to be a large size), materials is scratchy and not as smooth and soft as one would expect from flannel shirt. If you like these attributes, then this is the shirt for you. It is not the shirt for me, as for the reasons stated. Appears to be of good quality in construction and will probably be long lasting.

Feels more like a dish rag than a t-shirt. This thing will look terrible after one wash/dry.

Good quality, but frustrating that a large tall fits like an XL tall. So, on top of the cost of the shirt which is on the high end I have to pay to have it tailored. Medium Tall is too small.

Fabric is great, very heavy duty and seems like it will be durable. My issue is the body fit which is way too big - arm and shoulders are perfect. If I had a store local I would have returned it but return shipping costs were too much.

I really like the fabric and it looks like it will be very durable. However the fit is not good in my opinion. The body portion is way too wide and long. Compared to large size in other brands I wear, the body was 2" wider and 1" longer. This fit would be great for folks with a large gut needing lots if extra room which is not me. I would have returned if not for cost of return shipping since no stores in my area.

I was looking for a flannel shirt - this is not the flannel I was expecting.

Read everything online about these shirts. It says wool blend. Made for/as "performance flannel" shirt. Thinking wool is great investment. Get the shirts and they are pretty, but tags says 6% wool 94% polyester. Wool performance with 6% wool? It must be the threads they used to stitch everything together. Wool threads? 6% wool? Come on Bean, how about some integrity for truth in advertising. I bought the green one and the red one. I don't return things because it is such a huge hassle, but I might make an exception on these. 6% !!! Shame!!

Like this shirt quick drying tough material. But for western style shirt the snaps are weak and pop open too easily.

It was a gift and he loves it ! Always fast delivery !

Like most LLBean men’s shirts, this one runs big and wide (and I purchased the smaller of the two sizes he fluctuates between).

Attractive and comfortable material but maybe too much material. It would be fine as an over shirt but is too large worn by itself Snaps on sleeve cuffs are oddly placed on top of each other instead of side by side making adjustments impossible. I am 6ft.tall and 200 lbs.

Beautiful print, very nice flannel weight, but returned after discovering snaps instead of buttons. This is a men's shirt, not a child's Onesie.

Size runs very large and quite long even for the regular fit. Material is also quite heavy and not at all comfortable for someone with neck pains. Would recommend a smaller size for those intent on purchasing, but the length and material weight should be taken into consideration.

Sleeves are too long. Needs another button to make them tighter to avoid rolling up the sleeves.

Love this shirt, but LL Bean needs more consistency on their sizing across products. I've worn LL Bean XL shirts for 30 years, switching to the slim cut wherever it's offered. This one is listed as slightly fitted but there is an extra 16" of fabric in the midsection. My XL would likely fit a guy who normally buys a 3XL and has a barrel chest/keg body.

I loved the colors on the shirt and trusted the description as being soft. That was a huge lie. It feels like a polyester tote bag, not the soft brushed flannel I grew up on. And if I want to send it back, I have to pay shipping because there are no LL Bean stores anywhere in the state. Very disappointed, won't be able to wear this unless I have a shirt on under it as it will just not feel good on my skin.

Received this shirt and was very satisfied with the color and quality all around as far as construction goes. Only problem was and I sent it back for this reason. The buttons on the sleeves were vertical instead of horizontal which prevented the sleeve opening from being tightened. The sleeve hung past my wrist and was uncomfortable on my hands for this reason. I did call customer service and they said they would pay to have it corrected. The tailor we have here didn't think it would be strong enough or look good because they are snaps on this shirt not buttons. When this problem is corrected I will purchase the shirt.

Charging this price for plastic fabric is insane. The colors are beautiful, the shirt seemed oversized. It was a return for us.

The medium shirt is too big in the body and the arms are too long. Will return.
