Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Robe Sherpa Lined Regular

Lining is very light. Thought it would be more cuddling and thicker.

Bought this to replace the same item that was 4 years old, different color. Washed it out of the box per instructions (cold water wash, extra low dry) and the flannel outer shell shrank while the sherpa lining did not, so there was a roll bulge at the bottom hem. Returned it and decided to avoid the hassle of trying another one so I repaired my old one. Never had that problem with the older one and even now wash it in warm water and high heat.

I purchased a robe (looks exactly like this one) from L.L.Bean about 10 years ago for my partner; its comfortable and warm, and my partner wears it daily. The elbow area had torn from wear and tear so I purchased another one for him. He was happy to get a second robe, but after the first wash the material peeled all over--it now looks very old and cheap. The 10-year-old robe's material looks like new apart from the torn elbows; I ended up patching the torn area which gives the robe more character. I consider myself to shop at L.L.Bean often and for $100 on a new robe, I'd expect the same good quality as items I've purchased over the years. Unfortunately, I am returning this one.

Absolutely perfect, except when washed for the first time and dried (on medium), the outer cotton layer shrank and the interior did not shrink, so now it looks wildly silly and doesn't fit well anymore. If you never want to wash/dry the product, go for it.
