Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Signature Chamois Plaid

Didn't like the shirt. Fabric too heavy and the print was unattractive.

After only two days of wear, the "chamois" is all pilled and showing bare spots leaving the weave of the fabric showing through.

I had to return it because the sleeves were super tight around my forearms. Would've been great for guy with skinny arms.

The shirt pilled after the first washing. I have several LL Bean chamois cloth shirts that are over 5 years old that have never pilled.

Moose would have been a better choice then boots. Ugly.

I have been wearing the Chamois cloth shirts for many years and they have been superb. I am very disappointed in the fuzzy fabric and big buttons. I am sad to have to accept this for version.

Black version purchased several years ago is holding up like a champ - newer (salmon, grey) shirts are already going thread bare after about two washes. Really a shame. Would continue to buy these classics if I knew that the company could stand behind value and quality. Noticed that newer shirts list "Made in Sri Lanka", versus older "Made in El Salvador".

I used to have a red and royal blue version of this shirt. I check every year for a color I might want, but the available colors are very anemic. Once again, no thanks!

I have couple of these same shirts that I've been wearing for at least 8 or 9 years and they are still in much better condition than the new ones I ordered. I couldn't believe the tremendous drop in quality in these new ones being made in Bangladesh. Terrible matted/pitted fabric and very sloppy looking. Poorly made.

After only three wears and washes the stitching is coming apart in several locations. Very disappointing.

I can't wear these tiny fitted shirts make the colors available in traditional. You have slid downhill.

Their service is excellent. However the quality and the fit of my last order was nothing like it used to be. Many years ago I bought a long sleeve flannel shirt in size men's small and to this day it still fits me perfect. I bought another long sleeve flannel shirt in size small I couldn't even get it over my head or put my arms through the shirt. Quality has gone downhill.

I sent it back to L.L.Bean a couple of weeks ago because the "slim fit" was a little too tight. I have the receipt from UPS. Please check this out. I requested the "regular fit", and I was hoping you would be sending it to me by now.

Why would they even consider making A2XL slim fat makes absolutely know sense maybe they should put that in the ad and not just put signature series

This shirt is awful. The arms are so long, I don't think they would fit anyone. The fit was a little big.

After. 1 wash looks horrible don't buy this item save your money

I want to like L.L. Bean products because the quality is great but they don't seem to make anything in my size. I specifically picked out a "slim fit" shirt in the smallest size and it was still huge on me. I don't feel like I'm an unusual size, I know plenty of people my size, but this was just way too long and hardly "slim" and looked very baggy on me. L.L. Bean, please let me know when you decide to make XS (or even XXS with your size measurements) and I'll be a happy shopper. Until then I unfortunately have to return this.

This is a flannel shirt not Chamois as advertised . It is a nice flannel shirt but not Chamois

After several month of in-home wearing and two washes I found out holes on each elbow. It supposed to be an investment that's getting better with years and now it's a non useful piece of cloth.

A number of years ago I bought the same in shirt in the traditional chamois color and loved it. I wore it so much, I needed to replace it. LL Bean no longer makes this shirt in the traditional chamois color. I called and spoke to customer service numerous times and they were no help. I ordered this shirt, color was bad so I returned it. I eventual found a company that make a better shirt in LL Beans traditional chamois color and have need to shop LL Bean again.

I have both chamois and flannel shirts from LL Bean in the past, and their weight fit exactly my expection. I was looking for a medium to heavy weight winter shirt in lighter color. However on this occasion, the material of the camois shirt was flimsy, loosely weaved, not evening matching the flannel level. The sleeves are a bit tight at the lower arm level. I have to return it this time. LL Bean please, please restore your old standard in providing quality products.

Had this shirt for about a year and the material started to wear through in the sleeves. Wore the shirt for casual/office attire, not for chopping trees or construction. Tried to return it but was told it's normal wear and tear. LL Bean's chamois quality has really gone down recently, not worth the $$$$.

Alway buy this shirt in large. Same this year but shirt like tent. Returned for medium and still odd fit. Must have changed manufacturer because not the same.

This review is for the DEEP LODEN COLOR ONLY (it also has light blue and salmon color in the plaid): It is not chamois. Period. Not even flannel. I'm not being picky, or nostalgic for the "better chamois of days gone by", or complaining about quality. It is simply a thick, slightly loose woven cotton--somewhat like linen but softer--and *smooth.* It does not have any "nap" to it whatsoever. And my first career was in fashion production--pricing fabrics and other items before the clothes were manufactured--so I do know the difference. If you zoom in and look at an edge, such as the placket, you can see this; compare it to the royal red, for example, and you can see that color is a bit fuzzy. I'm a woman and own the signature tunic in that exact fabric and color and it IS thick, amazing chamois (with a bit less pink than the monitor shows). So I'm assuming this is a weird error for the Loden only, and that the ones that are chamois are just as nice as the women's version. It might make a great shirt for the rest of the year, but it's not a winter cozy shirt, that's for sure. Has a cool vintage vibe to it in that color, with the big buttons. My BF didn't like it though, so we returned it. Thanks Bean for being cool about it!
