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

Comfortable and fits well. I am a little worried about staining because of the smooth texture of the fabric but so far it's okay.

I washed these before wearing and didn't dry them. They shrunk a lot. Too short in sleeves and waist after one wash in cold water.

These in short and long sleeved used to fill my closet, but no more. Love the fabric, the feel, the colors. A bit short to start, then shrink. Combined with fact that so many pants don't come to waist, they are way too short. Only the 3/4 sleeve is longer. I don't have a long torso. Please lengthen short and long sleeve. Now buying elsewhere.

I ordered a regular small and it fits well across the bust. My frame is long and lean, so I was afraid the shirt would be a little short, but it is VERY short. I'll keep it to wear under sweaters, but it's too short to wear on it's own.

I bought three of these. Beautiful material. WOW do they shrink. Now I have to go to the trouble of returning.

I purchased three of these and they arrived with a strong chemical smell out of the package. Just curious what it is?

Excellent fit but the fabric is very thin. I would expect a long sleeved shirt to be warmer. It feels more like a summery top.

I have several long sleeve pima t shirts. This one is cut slimmer in the sleeve and body. I purchased a medium as usual, but it is sized different. I hope others wont be as snug.

I washed them in cold water and dried on low heat but they still shrunk. I like my shirts a little longer.

I bought several of these last year. The fabric is great but the length shrank several inches and the sleeves got significantly shorter when washed. I wash them in cold water and dry at low or medium low temperature. It's very disappointing. I still wear them but they're short now.

Most reviewers raved about its perfect fit, but on me it's just ok. A little too long and a little too big across the shoulders. Also, it has that unpleasant new fabric smell and it's not as soft as I expected. It may be pima cotton but it doesn't feel like it. Hopefully it will shrink and soften up in the wash.

I bought 3 of these in Petite, and I have gotten a lot of use from them. I loved the sleeve length being perfect on me. But after many uses I realize the length shrunk too much to stay in proportion. It is a little below my waist, so if I raise my arms at all I am showing skin. The shirts don't look worn out, but the shrunken length means I can't wear them.

I'm only 5'2", so i got the Petite. After washing, the length shrank considerably. Too short!

I miss the fabric of real soft, sturdy cotton tees you made for years. You kept the nice detail at the neckline, but I do not care for this new fabric. It is thin and has a strange feel and I doubt it is actually cool to wear in the hot summer. Plus the cut has changed- a shapeless body and long thin monkey-arm sleeves. I don't understand. I have your shirts that are several years old and look and fit better.

I've purchased these for over 20 years. The new version is soft but thinner and the sleeve is more "fitted". I liked the old loose fit and fabric

Washed on cold, dried on cool and it still shrunk. Very disappointing.

Strong chemical odor, even after several washings.

I have ordered solid color Pima Cotton Tees, long sleeve, short sleeve etc. in a size medium for years. (I find I have to order shirts with a printed design in a large) The fabric is beautiful, but it is clingy, has stretch, and is too high in the armpits. (No I haven't gained weight) It is uncomfortable to wear.

Liked the color. Liked the crew neck. Liked the long sleeves. Curbed my enthusiasm for buying more than one on the initial order. Glad I did. Online catalog shows this item as having a slight flare from chest to bottom hem, but it is actually pretty boxy. When are designers going to learn that as women get older, they'd rather not have their shirts and blouses show every bump, lump, bulge, and roll at the waistline? Back it went.

I'm 5'4" and 105 pounds. The small is a bit big, but x-small arms are too tight. I went with the small and shrunk it in the dryer on low heat then pulled out when not quite dry. Be aware these shirts shrink a full size in the dryer. They are comfortable, not stylish and a bit "old lady"-- ish in my opinion.

The material is very soft, as advertised, and the color is lovely. However, as a plus sized woman, I felt that the material is way too clingy, and the length of the shirt is at least two or three inches too long.

I really like the colors of these shirts but the way they are sewn together at the neck produces a knot that is uncomfortable. I try to buy the other tees but the colors are limited and not as nice as the Pima ones. Please fix the designs and way it is sewn. Please have nicer colors in the other tees.

Love the fabric weight and feel, a just-right substantial fabric, and the crew-neckline. Proportions are a bit off though - size large fits me great at shoulders and bust, but overall length and sleeves are somewhat too short. Debating whether to try an XL, but since I normally wear M or L at LLBean, that seems odd.

Love the color and fit except shoulders are too broad. Size medium regular. I'm drawing the conclusion that I can't order from catalogs any more because the fit is unpredictable and it's expensive to pay for return shipping.

Overall, nice shirts. But I'd size up if you wash and dry all the way. I normally wear an XL or generous L. In these shirts the XL was fitted.
