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

I love the wide variety of colors always available, but they shrink to my navel and are useless to me like this. I do take them out of low heat dryer while they are damp to hang and still they are too short to wear.

I received this as a gift. Beautiful color, smooth fabric, and comfortable but after washing, the sleeves are a tad too short. I still wear it, but it's just not as comfortable as it could be.

Let me say that I have been an LL Bean customer for years. I ordered two of the black Pima Cotton Tee Shirts. I love the fabric and how it feels. However, there is an inconsistency in the measurement of the sleeve lengths. Both are XS Regular, but one sleeve length is perfect falling a tad longer than wrist length. The other is 1 1/2" past the wrist. Why? Since I took all the labels out of the shirt I can only hope it shrinks in the wash. Quality control seems to be lacking.

Lightweight but clings to midsection. I would like to see the same diversity of colors made available in the heavier cotton crewneck tees.

It appears that a new style of stitching is being used on seams in these shirts. It is not comfortable, especially around the neckline. My guess is that it uses less thread and is therefore economical.

The color was harsh on me. The neckline was too high. The fit was off on me, very unbecoming.

I don't have particularly long arms, but these sleeves are too short.

I loved this shirt when I ordered it in Ocean a month ago; it fit beautifully. When I ordered it in White, it doesn't fit at all! Both are size 2x, but the second one is too big in the neck, too long in the sleeves and body by about 4 inches. So disappointed.

I really don't know what has happened to LL Bean. I ordered several of these tees and they all showed small pinholes after just a few washings. I place in a laundry bag, wash on "hand wash" with cold water and hang to dry. Yes, my washing machine has a "hand wash" cycle. I don't want clothing that lasts a few wash cycles. LLBean - please get back to the quality you used to have.

I needed a new tee-shirt supplier and these looked nice so I bought two. The fabric is lovely, good weight and very soft. I wore the yellow one, washed it in warm water, and dried it at permanent press medium. In comparing it to the white unwashed one it had shrunk 1.5 inches in length on the body and .5 inches in the sleeve. The fabric was just the same as pre-wash but I am disappointed in the shrinkage since it wasn't too long to begin with. I'll keep them to wear as layers but will keep looking for another source. I purchased XL in regular but would normally buy L Regular.

Too long and not as comfortable as regular ladies sweatshirt I had gotten last year .

Bought two of these, plum and light blue. Beautiful quality and colors, however I returned because they shrunk in length and became way too short, when I lifted my arms they were above my waist. I am between a regular and petite so this was surprising.

I have been buying these tee shirts for years, regular Small. Now I need to purchase a tall because the sleeves and body length on a regular small are too short. I'm only 5'4" so a regular should (and did) . Also depending upon the color the size may differ. See picture.

I bought 2 of these in Medium and the fit was great, problem was they are rather short in lenght so they don't stay tucked in very well.

This is a very nice sweater to wear under something or with a scarf. Do you know ahead of time that it will shrink upwards? After a few washes with a dryer set to low or no air, it will be shorter. You might have trouble tucking it into your pants or skirt.

I purchased a staple in my closet, the Supima cotton tee shirt. Size small as always in Deep Blue and Navy. I cut off the scratchy inside tags and got ready to gently wash them. I noticed the sleeves on the Navy shirt seemed short and indeed they are by at least an inch! I also noticed for the first time with LLBean clothing a "dime store smell" on the shirts. I use this description because it is what I remember Woolworth's smelling like as a child.

Pima cotton is soft and comfortable. I returned the Large for the medium. This top was very large through the shoulders and arm holes. The sleeves and length were too long. The medium is smaller (sleeve length, overall shirt length, and the neckline) than my usual "Talbot's" medium. I am busty, so I stretch it out before I wear it. I think these tops need to be more fully fashioned as to accommodate for the bust line.

Love the material but after washing it shrank a fair amount. The sleeves that were a little long when I first tried it on are now about an inch too short. Same with the length and fit.

The top was of thinner material than what I expected and my bra showed through the fabric. I did not want the hassle of returning this item but would never buy again.

Not proper fit. I always buy small petite but I upsized to small regular. Still the arms are very tight. Very unusual, since I buy from you all the time.

I prefer the regular cotton tees. They are far warmer.

The material is wonderful-the drape and sheen lovely. I wish it were just a couple of inches longer. I kept the tee because I needed something long-sleeve and white to wear under some tops for transitional weather. I'd really like to buy more, but the length is just a little too short to be worn on its own.

I have purchased many 100% cotton, many Pima, long sleeved tshirts from llbean. The latest are tighter in the body and arms.

Love the fit and material so much so bought another one and ordered another color. But the odor, my gosh. Smells almost like a chemical smell. I hung both outside all day yesterday but the odor is just as strong. Going to wash them tomorrow and hope that takes care of the smell.

Love Pima cotton tees however these are running small and shrunk in laundry. Not happy. Now, my daughter is wearing my new tees I need to buy larger size.
