The LL Bean chamois and flannel shirts are generally well-received for their high quality, comfort, and warmth. Customers praise the classic, timeless style and durability, with some noting they have owned the shirts for years. The "slightly fitted" cut is appreciated for providing a tailored look without being too restrictive. However, some customers have experienced issues with the sizing, particularly in the tall sizes, which can be overly long in the torso. A few also noted that the fabric quality has changed over time, with the newer shirts feeling thinner and less substantial compared to older versions.
Great fabric & quality, but who is this sized for?

nice shirt
Fit: True to size
I've been wearing Bean chamois shirts for 65 years. The first one cost five bucks. The blue buffalo plaid pairs well with blue jeans.

Men's Chamois Shirt

Height: 6'0"
Size Purchased: X-Large
Fit: A little small
Too snug for comfort. I'm used to Chamois shirts being loose-fitting and good for outerwear or a shirt.
