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

This is my favorite shirt, even though it's a little bit short. Why don't you make it in different colors? Few of your plus sized shirts come in pale yellow, mint green or even shell pink. Tall women like colors other than navy and black. I'd love to see you work with a color consultant and select colors that are actually flattering. The dark green isn't a nice color at all. Why not make this in a pretty sage green or a pale gold. Perhaps a shade that resembles the soft shade of pumpkin pie batter before it's baked. Your color palette really lacks imagination.

The slick surface and tight weave made this too warm for me. I have always been an outdoors person, so I get warm quickly when clothing doesn't breathe. It would work for a dressy t-shirt. I embroidered one for the captain's table on a cruise a few years ago. It does get better after several washing but still warm.

I wear them under sweaters. They come in so many colors. I like to travel with them.

These shirts are so soft and launder beautifully. Never had them shrink, but I only put in dryer on low for about 5-6 mins, just to get out any wrinkles. My biggest complaint with the Pima is that any pin (like a flag tac pin, etc.) will leave a hole in the fabric-not happy about that. It's happened on all three Pima shirts I have, but doesn't happen on the regular cotton shirts. However, since I always wear my little flag pin, I try to get it in the same hole each time! So far, so good!

This past year I have replaced many of the crew neck tshirts in my closet, the reasons being either for updated color selection or shrinkage of my old shirts. Tshirts are a staple in my wardrobe, and L.L. Bean, in my opinion, has the best quality on the market at this price level. The L.L. Bean pima cotton tshirts are soft and smooth and look nice alone or under a sweater. The neckband stays neat looking after washing. I am 5' 4" tall, weigh 130 lbs and wear a size small. The fit is perfect. My only suggestion about these shirts is I wish they were about an inch or so longer. I would be happy to pay a little more for a shirt that can be tucked and stay tucked, if I choose to wear it under a sweater. It looks neater. I wash my shirts and then hang to dry. I never put them in the dryer which, for me, is not a problem. However, they still shrink a very small amount (1/4"-1/2") so what starts out as a reasonable but not optimal length becomes less so.....I know it's hard to please everyone with fit, but, for me, a relatively short person, I would prefer a slightly longer length. So L.L.Bean......a little more length next year?

I love this shirt. It doesnt shrink and feels really good when i wear it. However there is one drawback. I have washed this red shirt two times and the red comes off on my underclothes!! Everything is red!! I wish you could somehow fix this.

I like the feel of this material. The only problem I have is w/the neckline. Being older (74+) I usually wear cuddle duds under my tops in the cold weather, but the neckline allows the under garment to peek out at the edges. I'd like something w/a little more of a crew neckline. I had one of LLB's crewneck styles which worked well for this concern, but it doesn't come in petite so the sleeves were way too long.

This used to be a great T-shirt. The cotton is still soft and very high quality. I have purchased at least 5 of these and they have worn well. In years past, I would have given the shirt 5 stars but this time, I'm giving only 4 stars due to the very tight sleeves on the forearm part of the sleeve. I weigh 120 pounds and found the sleeves very tight. Are they trying to save fabric? Don't get why the shirt is made this way! Too bad because it's a wonderful shirt at a great price.

I try to have these long sleeve tops in several colors as I wear almost daily under sweaters and vests here in the NE. I really like this one due to its being tagless....hate that itch at the back of my neck! The sleeve length is perfect for me, not too short. I wash them without any problems and only use a medium dryer for 10 minutes and then hang up to dry the rest of the way. No ironing necessary.

I wish L.L.Bean would offer a wider range of colors, especially in more natural colors and with softer shades. These primary colors are nice, but ordinary. The shirt fits well, the pima cotton is comfortable, and I applaud L.L.Bean for having some clothing available for those of us who are short.

I have purchased several of these shirts during the past few years and would have given them all 5 stars. The fabric on this shirt is just as nice as before, but the sleeves are tighter and feel constricting when arms are bent. The shirt is simply not as comfortable as previous versions.

liked the shirt.. it just entirely too long to get here 6 weeks is to long for anything to arrive.. it was for Christmas then birthday and it was missed for both.. I will think twice about ordering for that reason... thanks...

I appreciate the quality of this shirt. It is made of a nice weight cotton --- not the thin and skimpy kind that you can find elsewhere. Overall, I am happy with the shirt.

Thank you for finally offering Yellow! I like these shirts. The cotton is soft and smooth, drapes nicely and fits perfectly. I just think the bound neckline looks cheap. Much better neck on the Bean's Tee.

I love the material, it is very soft and comfortable. I washed it separately, inside-out in cold water and had no issues with shrinkage as some of the other reviews have noted. I did find that the second time I wore it, the color transferred onto my bra, I was able to get most of it out by washing. I am hoping that after a third wash, I won't have this issue. I really love the shirt but gave it 4 instead of 5 stars due to the color transfer issue.

This shirt holds in shape after washing and fits well. Needs to be ironed if that is something that matters to you.

I love the way this shirt feels but it did shrink.

I have these in alot of colors and they wear well. only wish they were a bit longer and that they came in navy

I loved the way this shirt fit and the color. Then I washed it and hestitated to put in dryer. Label said it could be. I used delicate setting and the shirt had some shrinkage. :(. It is okay but I find myself tugging to keep it at the length that I like it to be. Wish one I hadn't put it in the dryer. Other than that I love the feel of the material and teal color.

The shirt is well made and very soft to the touch. I should have sent them back and got the next size smaller as they were big but I thought they would shrink up some....they didn't. I can still wear them and do like them.

This is a nice fitting top, although it is lighter fabric than my old one, which lasted for years. But I like the lighter weight fabric and it hangs nicely.

The only thing I would have against this tee is that it is lightweight and I'm very cold blooded. I usually have to wear a vest with this to be comfortable.

I had to buy a size larger than I thought I would have needed. The sleeves are a bit tight.

I ordered this same shirt last year and loved the weight and feel, but the 2 I ordered this year seem lighter in weight.

I love the fabric of these shirts and have several. All styles are the only t shirts I want to buy. Other fleeces or sweathers slide on over them beautifully and they look so dressy. This is the first time I have had color rub off on my underwear. They need to wash these FIREY RED several times before selling them to the public. Red is a favorite color and hard to find in a true red. The color was great but I hated it coming off on underwear. Quality of this one lacking also after my first washing I found a small hole in the one I got for Christmas. Am sending it back.
