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

This shirt had a strange odor when it arrived. I think it was the fabric. I had to wash before wearing. The shirt is a good weight, not too stretchy, and does not stretch out of shape. It is a good everyday shirt.

I've bought these shirts for years and loved them, but of course, they changed them. The collar is no longer what is pictured. It isn't as pretty and comes out of the dryer looking wrinkled, as does the entire shirt. I used to wear these for work, but not anymore.

This tee fit was true to size, but the material is much thinner and not the high quality I expected from you. I have been buying tees from you for years and have always been happy with the quality, but this one is way off.

I have numerous Pima tops. Most come down to lower hip. Not this top! This falls at the hip.

Maybe it's just my demographic (age 50), but I find these shirts to be too short. Love the cotton/color, and fit otherwise...but find I'm really not enjoying wearing them. Also, love that LLBean has printed "tags" at the neckline, but there is a long itchy paper tag sewn into the side seam directly, so it's impossible to entirely remove. So itchy.

I love these shirts! I have purchased several over the years (long sleeves and short sleeves). They can be dressed up or dressed down and always look great. Unfortunately they shrink. I have always followed the directions (cold wash, low heat dry) but to no avail. Fortunately I am short so the look is still ok. I really wish you could correct the shrinkage problem though. They would look even better!

Love the pima cotton shirts. Colors are good but wish they would change them more frequently.

For the first time I have to say that I am disappointed. This shrunk in arm and body length after one wash. Never happened with other tops I have purchased from L L Bean

I just received these shirts. They are gorgeous, the material feels like silk, the colors are wonderful. Butthey smell horrible! Like a chemical odor. I'm airing them out now. If that doesn't work, I'll try washing them to see if that gets rid of the odor. If not, unfortunately they'll go right back.

For the first time I am disappointed with this purchase. I have purchased these tops in the past, and this is the first time that after washing this had shrunk in body and sleeve length. Since it has been worn and washed I will have to keep it.

I bought 2, one pine and one purple. I washed them on cold , hung them to dry.. The purple one is too short now, it's an inch and a half shorter than the pine one.

For fit comment context I'll share that I'm 5'4" / 107# / 30D with narrowish shoulders and thin arms. I have been buying LLB tees for decades, both the pima and other cotton, and always worn a 2R. But in this year's model the pink I just bought pulls across the bust as if too tight and while the body fits fine it is too long by a lot in torso and in sleeves and also is pretty darned close to being too snug in the sleeves and I say this as a person with thin arms. Not so unusual in the sleeves as my arms are shorter but these is by far longer sleeve length that the umpteen LLB others I own. I'm considering exchanging for a Petite size but I'm sure a PXS won't fit and a PS seems too large by a good amount in online measurements. I'm a card holder so I can exchange to try on for free but I hate to do that and run up LLB'eans postage for them to have to pay. Fit aside, the fabric is just as wonderful as all my other LLB pima tees and I very much appreciate LLB is keeping the cotton content of their goods up at a time when other companies are scaling back.

I love the supima cotton and the overall fit of this crewneck but the length is too short.

I really liked the shirt. The blue color was pretty and the material was nice and soft, but the fit was off. The shirt fit everywhere except for the arm holes, which were cut very small. I had to return it, but Bean's return policy made that very easy to do.

Washed as instructed and the shirt shrank in sleeve length and torso length. Nice material but shrinkage is a problem. Will not be able to wear now.

I have bought this item in the past, but today when i tried to wear it for the first time after the initial washing (cold water, cool dry) the sleeves didn't even reach my wrist bones and the body didn't even come to my waist. VERY disappointed. Usually, Bean tees fit will, but not this time.

Shrunk two inches on arm and body length. Yes, I washed it in cold water.

This tee was not like the ones I got in the psst. I always order the regular xsmall but this one was cut skimpy. It was slimmer snd the sleeves wete narrower.

Way too long and loose. Nice color and nice cotton feel. I wish the sizing was (much) better.

Wish they were cut a bit bigger, for a medium. Little snug.

I bought the size medium that is my usual size with LLBean in the pima cotton tees and other items. This time the pima cotton tee seemed to be running smaller - tighter across the bust. The armhole was a bit smaller compared to this same shirt purchased in previous years. And the distance across the shoulder was smaller than the same style in previous years. I'm returning it and plan to order a Large in the same shirt. Except for the sizing issue, it seems to still be a good quality knit top.

I like their Pima Cotton shirt/tops, but the sleeves on the Small Regular was too tight and long.

LL Bean quality is always excellent, other than the fact that these shrink at least one size! Otherwise I would rate this shirt five stars. After the first wash it shrank significantly, to where I had to order a bigger size, unfortunately not able to return shirts that have been washed :(

This is a very tight fitting shirt. I ordered a medium and at 5'6", 135 lbs, it's too small.

I used to love the Pima tees. For years I bought many in both the short and long sleeve. But now the fabric is too drapey and shows every bulge. The LLBean Cotton Tee doesn't show every bulge, but it shrinks badly when washed. I bet you'd hit a gold mine if you offered a Tee in a Pima cotton that wasn't drapey.....let's face it, a huge number of women have less than perfect bodies!
