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

These Pima cotton t's could earn 5 ***** if only LLBean hadn't skimped on the fabric. They are way too short. I won't order again.

I have worn these shirts for many years. The material seems different than it used to be ... it now looses its softness after the first wash. And, it also shrinks where it didn't in years past. Very disappointing.

The pima cotton long sleeve t-shirts are made out of great feeling material with wonderful colors. The sizing is another issue! I am petite and have to wear a regular small because the body of the shirt is super short; the sleeves are about right in the regular small.

The 1xl shirt fits ok. The Body of shirt fits well BUT the Sleeves are too short

I've bought these very same shirts from L.L.Bean for many years, and I have always liked the good looks and fine, durable quality of them. The colors are great! But this time I've found the long sleeves to be somewhat tight all up and down my arms once the shirts have been washed and dried causing the expected shrinkage of this 100% cotton product. I just try to live with this.

The fit was perfect and the quality was excellent, but magenta is supposed to be a purplish red, and this tee looked just red to me.

Size - XL Petite - bought three different colors. I have been a great customer for many years--too many to count. These spima tees are just not equal to what I have purchased in the past. Very disappointing! The quality has gone downhill and they don't fit the same. They were always ample and fell at my hip; now they just about fit before washing and they fall short of my hips. I always wash in cold water and dry in low/gentle dryer. I don't dare put these in the dryer rather air-dry them.

Too much shrinkage despite ordering a size larger than I really wear.

I ordered my usual size Medium in two colors. Both were soft and fit me snugly, with no room for shrinkage. I didn't want to take a chance on washing them because if they had shrunk even slightly they would be uncomfortably small. I didn't love them enough to return and order them in Large. For reference, I am 5'5" 132 lbs., 34A, 66 yrs old.

This shirt is a bit narrow in the shoulders and short in the sleeves.

Pima crewneck is well made, soft, and comfortable. One problem - it shrinks. I sized up assuming that It would shrink, and it shrank more than I even expected it to.

Ordered my normal size in LL Bean clothing, X-Small Petite. Fabric is nice, Dusty Purple is a pretty color, fits well - except that the sleeves are very snug. And I don't have large arms! Unfortunately, I will have to return.

I ordered this top in a Medium in 3 colors. I've worn LL Bean's Pima tops in Medium for years. They arrived today, and were too small. They were smaller than in past seasons and years. They fit much tighter across the bust and in the armhole area. Even the sleeves were tighter than usual. The overall quality seemed as good as in the past, but the sizing has changed. I re-ordered in a Large, but, I was disappointed, because one of the colors I wanted is already out of stock in the Large. I gave this a lower rating than I might have just because the fit has changed so much. I'm returning these and hope the ones I re-ordered in a Large will be a better fit.

These t shirts seem shorter in length than previous versions which I bought. I followed washing and drying instructions. The material doesn't seem as nice as before either, it has an odd finish and the color sometimes seems uneven.

It feels like a good quality but the fit is weird. The sleeves are strangely short and tight meanwhile the body fit is very loose. I also wonder if it is really 100% cotton. It behaves like polyester. I'll probably to a burn test with the fabric scraps after I alter the body. Also, the neckline makes the shirt look like an under-shirt. It would be nice if it had a real collar and not something that looks rolled.

This shirt is skimpy. I have 3-4 others of these in the same size that fit much better!

I love this shirt. Stylish, great color but unfortunately there is one major problem. Shrinkage!! I have always followed the instructions. Cold wash, warm dry. It shrinks about 2 inches in length. I have resorted to regular instead of petite ( I am 5'1")This is a better length for me after the shrinkage but the arms are too long.

I loved my shirt until I washed and dried it. It shrunk in length which made me sad. Next time I'll try the next size up and see if it makes a difference

Sleeves and body length is quite short for a tall. Like don't love. Not consistent sizing in LLBean t shirts. May return. Also, fabric feels quite stretchy, like there is nylon or spandex in the yard, and not all cotton. I own much better LLBean t shirts than this already. Shame.

Soft, durable fabric. I have several of these t-shirts in different sleeve lengths. I am petite but found that size to be too short even in the long sleeves and now order regular. Other than that they are true to size.

It fits but is small for a medium. I am 5' 5" 125 pounds with thin arms. The sleeves are tight and the body is fitted more than I prefer. I followed the size guide to order so be warned and size up. The material feels very soft and fine as it should. The material is great, the sizing has changed.

Disappointed that the sleeves are tight on this shirt

Sleeve length was great but I would have preferred a longer body length.

Love the pima cotton tops. Have two of the long sleeve that fit perfect. Got the 3rd one in violet chalk , same size and its too small. Will need to return.

The quality of the cotton immediately seemed lower
