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

A little too long. They used to be shorter on the hip. I do not like the raised seams at the shoulders. The old shirts did not have it raised up. You need more dark colors. Always black... how about navy blue I wear these year round and i do not wear pastels I have been buying these for years and the older ones are made better. Not as long and should seams are not raised up...

Nice T-shirt, although it is a little tight in the arms.

Seeing as though this shirt comes in Petite, I was expecting the Misses' size to be plenty long. I am 5'8" and the sleeves are okay but the body length is a little skimpy. I wouldn't recommend ordering this top if you're over 5'6".

These shirts are very comfortable and launder easily. The only drawback is that the sleeves fortunately were very long because on first washing, they shrank considerably. Before washing, I had to roll them two hem lengths; after washing, I don't need to roll up at all. They also shrank up through the body length.

This long-sleeved shirt fits the bill for quality and layerability. The sleeves are about 1/4 inch too long for me, but I guess I have shorter arms than the norm

As soon as I rec'd the periwinkle colored crewneck,I hand-washed it in cold water w. a bit of detergent. Quite a bit of dye leached out. On the other hand, the deep teal color (it was the mock turtle style) leached hardly at all. The fabric feels silky smooth.

This is one of the best pima shirts made. Except it does tend to shrink as it appears to not be preshrunk. BUT where is the Ivory, classic red, kelly green?? More colors please!

I ordered this in the color Azure. It is a very bright color! I liked it ok anyway but it was too long in the sleeves and overall just plain too large for me. I ordered a size Misses XL, my normal size in tees and turtlenecks. Returned this because of the sizing issue.

I wear this top under my jacket when I go on job interviews. The material has a silky sheen and looks professional. I would have given it 5 stars if it did not shrink a little after it comes out of the dryer. I have to hang the wet shirt on a hanger and let it air dry by placing the hanger on the shower curtain rod.

This is a great top. The only drawback is the material seems to be different color to color.This causes a slight difference in sizing. I wear the teal when I want something looser, the tan when I am ready for more fitted. I think I have all of the colors so I am making an informed judgement. I am finding this with more products from Bean lately so, I cannot do the 5 star thing.

I love the feel of this. Very soft and comfortable. But overall length shrunk aLOT as did the sleeves, which now fall above my wrists and look ridiculous. I used cold water, dryer on low and shrink guard. I just read some of the other reviews and see that someone else had the same problem, which was solved by ordering a tall. Wish I had known that! I always wear a medium regular in LLB clothes. Come on LLB! You test these I'm sure.

I've been wearing LLBean's pima cotton tees for years and have always loved them. In recent years, however, the quality of the material has declined (thinner, less durable) and the sizing is inconsistent. My usual go-to size is now too long in the sleeves and length. I wear Large, but had to exchange a recent purchase for Petite Large. The charcoal gray pima tees are thicker material and not too long. I will still buy them, but keep in mind that I might have to return an order until I find the right size. That was never an issue before and is disappointing.

I love these pima long-sleeve tees -- wear them everyday over a light shirt. They are wondeerfully soft and so light-weight, yet add that layer needed for warmth. And perfect for traveling, since they fold down to near nothing. But! Not all of the variety of colors come in the Petite size! My arms and torso are short, so a Small requires major turn-up of both. I needed the butter yellow color, so bought (and will use) this Small. But I sure wish I could get it in Petite!

The pima cotton feels lovely and silky.It's also nice that it does not pill. Also, no see-through at all. However, these do run a little big. I usually wear a medium (bra size B cup) but the small is a much better fit. I had to exchange my size Medium T's for a size Small.

The fabric and quality is fabulous. I just wish the sleeves were longer.

I truly enjoy wearing the L.L.Bean Pima Cotton Tees and have several of them. My only complaint is that they do shrink significantly if dried in the dryer. I try to keep them out of the dryer, but from time to time someone in the household just puts the entire laundry load in the dryer. In order to keep the length of the sleeves and bodice, I dry them flat.

I have worn LL Bean pima cotton tees almost exclusively for many years, and the shirts are five-stars quality. Celadon is my very favorite green, so when I saw that dark celadon is one of the new colors I ordered it. True celadon is a subtle, muted color. The color depicted in the catalog is not anywhere close to the color of the shirt that was delivered. It is not dark celadon, and it is very knock-out-you-eyes bright - definitely neither subtle nor muted. What has happened to color choices for pima shirts? I consider navy and ivory/cream to be basics; neither has been available for at least two seasons. For the first time in at least 20 years - probably longer - I have been forced to seek pima shirts elsewhere. I layer them under sweaters for eight-nine months of the year and wear them alone in warm-hot weather. Basic colors should be staples - black, navy, tones of brown, cream/ivory, white, gray. Choices increasingly are moving away from the basics, which forces me to move away from LL Bean.

I have many LL Bean tees. The quality of the fabric is excellent. The tees hold their shapes beautifully. However, I wish the length was a tad longer as well as the sleeves on the long sleeve shirts. No matter how carefully I wash them, they do tend to shrink a bit. With pants that sit a little below the waist, the shirt eventually barely covers. A little longer or preshrunk fabric might do the trick.

I love the feel of this tee, and the length which is long enough to cover tummy. But because I have short arms, sleeves are too long.

Fits well and comfortable. Have only washed it once didn't notice any shrinkage.

Love it, except I cannot get the simplest food stain out of it. Perhaps I need advice, or am a lousy cleaner.

I've been getting these shirts for years. I like the feel and fit. Just wish you had not discontinued the the Ivory color.

Ordered this in a small- my usual size. Love the aqua color and material is very soft. I have slender arms and surprised how narrow the arms are on this top. It fits but next time I may order a medium.

If you put them in the dryer, they will shrink. I wear a small, and after I took them out of the dryer they had shrunk in the arms and the torso length to the point where I couldn't stretch them out. I love the style and the fact that they are 100% cotton, but am returning for a medium.

Very cool and comfortable, true to size. The sleeves are long on me but I just roll them up. One turn?. The colors are all nice.
