Rated 5 out of 5 by MainerlostinMD Comfortable well fitting shirt
Bought this as a casual work shirt for the summer. Many button down LL Bean shirts don't quite fit me right, usually the sleeves are a bit too short or they seem too big. I'm 5'10", average-to-fit build, and the medium fit me great with perfect length sleeves. And the birch color looks really awesome. I might get another in another color.

Rated 4 out of 5 by OceanStorms All canvas/linen is not created equal...
I completely agree with the man who said this is his new favorite shirt, and for the right reasons. I note the fit to be form fitting in a great way-billowing where I move most, conforming where I want it to. The striations of the cloth accent this for greater appearance, and the cloth is smooth from the outset.
I refer to the Birch Canvas, of course. The Navy (like the Rosewood before it) is a different matter. After washing, it feels gummy and fits poorly. Never thought I would end up with a rack full of Birch shirts, but I will.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Spatula not a slim fit by my reckoning
Other reviewers commented that this one has a slim fit. I plan to take the one I received to the tailor to have it taken in. It's not a slim fit at all. It's notably baggier than other LLB Sig shirts I've purchased in the past.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JeansAndATie Wierd Shirt Tails
The shirt has a really nice slim fit. The fabric is very weighty and warm, making this a great weekend shirt. The buttons are also really unique. I'm not sure what they are made of, but they are heavy, and seem very durable. My only issue is with the shirt hem. The hem is sewn at a very steep angle from the tails to the hip, and ends up too high at the hip. As a result, the shirt looks very odd untucked, and when worn tucked in, I find myself constantly re-tucking at the hip.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AMAB Great fabric!
Sometimes I order a shirt from LL Bean and it would easily fit a mature grizzly bear. This one has a trim fit to it, which is nice. I do wish it came in a grey color.
Highly recommended.......looks great with a tie and jeans.

Rated 3 out of 5 by AGNYC Love the shirt, but...
It shrunk in the wash only in length and became too short. I had to return it. Kinda bummed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by michiganDude great shirt
This is definitely my new favorite shirt. The cotton/linen blend is soft and light while at the same time substantial and rugged. Natural variation in the pattern of thread widths creates a laid-back aura, while the tailoring is sharp and adds a level of sophistication. Very versatile. I only wish they came in more colors.
