Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Comfort Corduroy Relaxed Shirt Long Sleeve

Disappointing. Not the shirt it used to be. The front pockets give it an ungainly appearance. It's way too big, even for an oversized shirt. The only thing I really like is the color (blue).

The fabric is good and I like the color. But the pockets are twice as big as needed and add inches to the look of the hips. I've purchased several permutations of this shirt over the years and they are getting worse, not better. Or even equivalent to the first ones I bought. Unfortunate.

Fit snug - no room to wear any layers. Disappointed in LLB sizing. Went up a size for extra space but x-large is same size at 1x, I see now. Returned. Would never fit after washing and drying. Nice shirt - go up a size!

It seems to be cheaply made. Not as good quality that LL Bean usually has. Buttons lose, zippers cheap and break easily pockets never deep enough

I've had several corduroy big shirts from LLBean over the years. Although I love the color and fit, the quality just isn't there anymore. I can literally see through the fabric! Where is the quality control?

Bought one a year ago (2022) and love it, so bought 2 more this year... Same size - petite L - to have a roomy fit that will go over a heavier shirt. Alas, this year's version is much longer (hits me below the hip), whereas last year's was shorter (hit me just above the hip). Disappointing, because the older version looked nice and trim, whereas his one looks like a "big shirt" and can't go as many places, or fit as well under a jacket - or look as flattering. If you are going to change a product's style, LLBean, please give the shirt a different name or somehow call that out...

This shirt was very well made but I thought it would wear more like a shacket since it has pockets but it was pretty unstructured and more frumpy looking than I expected.

I have multiple colors of this shirt and love them all. But, this one has side pockets made out of the same corduroy as the body of the shirt which makes the pockets bulky at your hips. Not exactly what most women are looking for. All my other shirts have the pockets made out of a thinner material. I think this shirt could be improved by eliminating the pockets altogether for a better, less bulky drape.

I wanted this in black to layer over other shirts, but the pocket, which is large and on the inside, is a light chambray color, so unattractive to wear it open like a jacket.

Don't like the changes you made to this shirt. 2 large inside pockets make it too bulky. Small ones would have been fine. Way too large!!

This is a well-made garment but the wide hem and side pockets make it feel more like a jacket than a shirt. The added weight of the pockets and styling aren't as comfortable or flattering as the original shirt. I would love to see the plain corduroy wide wale shirt come back - it had nice clean lines and was so comfy!

I was disappointed that the shirt had inside pockets of a different cheaper fabric and color. Not good!

Beautiful color (teal) and soft feel, but be aware that it's more of a jacket than a shirt: it has a band around the bottom. I wear a large but ordered an XL wanting room to wear something underneath. I knew when I tried it on that it was too big but I kept it, thinking it would shrink a little. It did not. So I'd recommend buying your regular size.

I have bought lovely corduroy shirts from L.L. Bean before and I love their fit. This one is much different. It runs a little small so I don't have as much room as the previous shirts. I don't need an internal long pocket. Conversely, I do appreciate the outer deep pockets in this shirt as opposed to no pockets in the original shirts. It seems this shirt is also a bit shorter. The front hem area also does not iron easily because it has a long pucker which is difficult to iron out.

Akwars pocket seams pulled tight that the pucker up right at the hip of the small the telephone operator suggested makescit look boxy, I bought another medium in another color better fit but still that thick pulled a little tight pocket seem that makes it flare, not like the design of of your corduroy shirt of the past, that i loved, also the pink of old was much prettier than the washed orchid

Great fabric and color, but returned because of uneven and lumpy hemline. Heavy fabric, low pocket and deep hem did not work well together.

I have several of your corduroy shirts and have given several as gifts, but this new style is not up to par. The side pockets are very poorly made; the cheesy blue fabric that make up the inside of the pocket is just a cheap blue cotton fabric and doesn't match the shirt color. Please bring back the old style with no side pockets. In all the years I've been buying L.L. Bean merchandise, this is the first time I have been unhappy with a product. I definitely will not buy it again.

I lv this shirt. Nice weight, pockets I don't buy tops with out pockets. The pockets R everything. Thank U LL Bean U out did Urself. I think this top is outstanding. I will have more beautiful colors too.

The 2 good things about this shirt: 1. The colors ( larkspur was my pick) 2. The wide wale corduroy is nice. This is the first time I've bought the shirt with pockets. The pockets make the shirt's drape awkward. It "pooks out" in the middle and makes the hem curl up. Bad design. I like the color but I won't buy any more of these with pockets. Summary: Let me know when your design and marketing teams decide to lose the pockets. Hopefully, next year.

This shirt just isn't for me. I prefer the "old" style without pockets. The new style is bottom heavy because of the pockets and a wide hem. Quality is great. For me, the updated style is somewhere between an awkward jacket and the previous easygoing shirt.

Love this as an over shirt, but size runs very small and different shape. I bought this for a friend who loves several of the older corduroy shirts size XL fit perfectly. Not with this new one. XL didn't fit, 1X was too small, currently waiting for size 2X to arrive. She liked the pockets, but really prefers the older style.

the size medium petite sleeves of the 2023 version of the corduroy shirt are longer then last years. I have ordered the shirt twice this year and returned both. Another negative: the sleeves are very wide. On the plus side the fabric is thick and sturdy as evidenced by my last years well worn and washed shirt. Great colors also.

Love the cut and style and I ordered two shirts, One in black and one in green. Returned the green shirt because the color wasn't flattering and a bit lighter than what the website showed.

I had several of these shirts a decade ago. These used to be a nice medium weight over shirt. The corduroy seems less substantial and the side pockets make the shirt blouse out at the bottom and is not flattering at all. The green color is nice. The size seems right.

The color is lovely and the fabric is very soft. I found it too bulky for me and returned it.
