Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Crew Neck Long Sleeve

Beautiful color, quality material and construction . I've literally lived in these for the past year. Couldn't find anything more suitable for pandemic uniform.

I like these shirts, but I suggest ordering up a size. I got two of this style and one with cowl neck, and all of them shrank. I washed them all in cold, and dried two of them. The other I hung to dry. The ones I dried in the dryer certainly shrank about an 1 inch - so be sure to dry on low (I missed that part). Still, the one I hung to dry also shrank, about an 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in the arms and length. I'll order mediums from now on and be sure to hang to dry or use the low setting.

I love these tees. They are comfortable and are a mainstay of my casual wardrobe. HOWEVER, they shrink in general length as well as arm length after a few washings. And yes, I follow the washing instructions exactly. Can't LL Bean make these a little longer or provide a "tall" size and give those of us who like a more elegant and relaxed look a fighting chance? I am only 5'3" but hate wearing a shirt that looks as if it belongs to a child.

I have owned this shirt for a year now. The shirt is very well made, hasn't shrunk much and the color has held up well. I am 5'6" so I'm at the top of the medium size chart and the sleeves and shirt length were already at the minimum length that I like them. Now that I have washed it several times it is just a little too short in the sleeves and length. I only wear it under sweatshirts now. If this shirt came in Med Tall or Tall I would continue buying them.

I received my Pima Cotton T-Shirt today and love how soft it is. It fits great except wish it was a little bit longer. It will be perfect with a vest over it but not to wear by itself.

I have several of these long-sleeved t-shirts. They're a little tight over my midriff bulge! But I like the softness and warmth. A good value.

Please bring back petal pink!!!

The color is a dusty rose,not the bright pink you show. Fit is very comfortable.

I've purchased a number of these in different colors. The fit seems to vary. This one was a bit tighter (and I have NOT gained weight recently). When it arrived it had a strange smell (kind of acidic) which disappeared at the first washing. I'd like to see a better smelling, more consistent in fit product.

This shirt is very soft, good quality cotton. I wish the length were a liiiittle bit longer.

The size was just right as received, but laundering (according to the directions) made it a little snug, which is disappointing. I ordered small petite, and will size up in the future. In particular, the arms seemed to get tight, that is tight-around, not shorter in length.

The tee is very high quality and probably is true to size. I'm not sure what size I ordered but the label says S/Petite. The shoulders fit well, but the length of the sleeves is just a bit too short and the shirt length is about 2 inches shorter than I prefer. Next time I'll try ordering a Small. Perhaps that is the difference.

I originally purchased a petite large in several of these tees but exchanged for petite mediums which fit better overall. However, even though I washed in cool water and dried on low heat, they shrunk 2" in length. One didn't get washed with the others so I was able to actually measure the length of the washed vs unwashed. Kind of disappointed in this because I like my tees to hit a little longer than just below waist length, which they did before washing. If I order more I guess I'll go with a regular medium to allow for this.

The fabric feels rather "silky" instead of like a regular t-shirt, which is what I wanted. The seam finishes do not lay flat and they bug my skin. That's a major issue for me and I wear a lot of things inside-out. Because the neckline on this shirt is enclosed on both sides I can wear it nicely under V-necks and cardigans, wrong side out..

I have been buying these pima tee shirts for many years. They are high quality and soft tee shirts. But they do shrink a bit. However, it would be nice if these were offered in more wearable pastel colors like Petal pink, soft blue haze, lilac, and rich colors like olive green, saddle, dark charcoal, royal blue, etc.

This shirt fits great and is so soft. I want this shirt in a tunic length! With the crew neck and long sleeves. Would be great with leggings.

Very soft. I have usually ordered a small or extra small when ordering from LLbean. This medium is on the small side. It it is shorter than I expected. I would probably order another size up if I get another one.

Love the softness, quality, colors and fit of these Pima cotton shirts. But whatever happened to the V-neck version? That was my favorite and I sure do miss it. I own 10 or 15 of those and hope they never wear out.

I have bought many long-sleeve supima tees over the years, and I generally love them. BUT. . . the sleeves are WAY too short (1-1/2 - 2 inches). They don't begin to reach my wrists. I wish you would make the sleeves longer, or offer a tall size. I don't have this time problem with tees I have purchased from other stores.

It seemed like the petite medium ran shorter than normal for the long sleeved tee. The rest of the fit was fine. I would recommend this top but would hope that the bodice sizing might be a bit longer in the future. This being said I DO love that LL Bean has petite sizes in many of their styles.

I ordered the plum. The color was exactly as shown online. Fits well without being too tight and sits nicely around my hips (as opposed to rib knits that hug too tightly and show every bulge). Washed once, so I haven't given it the test of time yet, but there was no fading and only slight shrinkage, if at all. I like it and will probably order other colors.

Nice soft fabric of medium weight feels good against my skin. A bit loose around the bottom, it did shrink a little with washing & drying. The color is as pictured in the catalog and on line.

I would like a more sleeve because im tall have long arms. I just roll them up anyway

I like the material and especially like the neck since most crew necks are too wide for me. As many others have said this tee shrinks a lot...at least 2 inches in length and 1 inch in the arms. The arm length is fine for me but I would prefer a longer length.

This top is perfect expect it should be a little longer in the torso. I am only 5' 4" and it seems really short on me. I am afraid once I wash it, it will be too short to wear. I wear these tops as layers to my professional job and can't risk having a crop top or sloppy look.
