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

The fit on these is disappointing. I found the body to be a little too roomy even though the shoulders were perfect. But more importantly is that the length in the sleeves and torso has shrunk significantly after only a couple of washings, using cold water wash and med/low heat in the dryer. If the roominess in the body had also shrunk in a similar way, the shirt would still be wearable, but now it just looks boxy and weird. On a positive note, the fabric is wonderfully soft and the colors are beautiful (I got the dark green and bright blue). For reference I'm 5'7.

I bought two of these and the fit was great before washing. The fabric is very soft and comfortable. I washed one of them first to check for shrinkage using cold water, delicate cycle, and dried on ultra low to damp dry. It's not so much the width but 1 1/2+ inches off the length makes a difference. So I'm keeping the one because I washed it and sending the other one back. I'm disappointed.

It shrunk when washed. Was very disappointed with what I paid

Excellent quality but runs to short in arm and chest length. I am 5'7" and the sleeves were above my wrist. Unable to tuck in with chest length as well. Great shirt and beautiful materials for anyone who is on the shorter side.

I love the quality of Bean's pima cotton t-shirts but some of the colors are just not great. I ordered this shirt in the "warm teal" shade but it is very green, not what I think of as teal. I am returning it as it is not what I wanted and doesn't match the color in the catalog or online.

I love the fabric, maybe I should have gotten a Large. The top is too short, so not sure a larger size would have made a difference.

These shirts are too short and too tight. They are the same size as all my shirts but do not fit as well. Very disappointed.

I ordered this because I have miss placed one I had an a sort of army green color. This color was definitely not what I wanted and it was also a bit tight even though I normally wear a medium.

I'm a plus size girl.I would would give these long sleeve tee shirts a 5 star rating, but with tummy, a plus size girl might have these shirts need to have 2-3 more inches added on their length. Designer did not take into account the extra material needed to provide the "take up" from a heavier size gal with a tummy. So,if you want to wear them under a sweater or vest that will be ok. but to wear on their own, they will fit uncomfortable in the length your backside will show if you bend over, and it won't fall nicely to cover up your tummy.

Had to go with the Large size to get the right sleeve length, but then the torso was too wide. Would like something a little more "fitted"

Sleeves and shirt itself are ' short'. Pima cotton fabric is very comfortable and layers well under tunic or sweater. Neckline dressier than other company's banded necklines.

Soft cotton and fabulous color. I washed and dried it with regular oak, and the sleeves and bottom of short shrunk about 1-1/2 inches. Still looks great.

The fabric is great, but sizing crazy. The medium is too snug and the large is huge. For years I could always depend on LLBean sizing, but for a couple of years now it seems I have to return everything I buy. If they came in medium and a half sizes it would probably work!

I ordered my normal size-a med. Very snug. Material was soft and stretchy. I exchanged it

Too short in the sleeves

This shirt is too short in the body and has tight sleeves.

It's smaller than I expected, 2x is too large so I ordered 1x. Costs too much to send back. May try under a vest.

Beautiful fabric, color and fituntil you wash it. It shrinks significantly, especially in length. Helps to wash in cold water, hang dry, irona lot of work for a tee shirt. The lovely fabric should stand up better.

It shrinks up even though washed in all cold and dried on low for only 10 minutes.

Super short in the mid section. If you are even remotely long waisted (I'm pretty equal torso to legs, so not extreme at all, but more than some people) don't buy this. I loved the fabric and cut on the rest of the shirt, but don't really like wearing crop tops, thank you very much.

This shirt was a little shorter than I expected. I'm not sure it will work out for me after washing if it shrinks. It fits me well in the chest and sleeve length, but if you are hesitating between sizes, I would order up. I wasn't in a hurry for this shirt thankfully, as the color I chose took a very long time to ship due to a backorder. I was kept well informed about the shipping though.

I have always ordered size Small in LL Bean tops. I'm a solid 4, and the former 4 - 6 Small was perfect, it fit with a bit of looseness. The new small (6 - 8) would have decidedly been too large. I ordered the XS (2 - 4). The shoulders are a bit snug, but the bust and hips are fine. The sleeves are very tight - uncomfortably so. The color was great! Debating whether to return it. Please revert to old sizing.

nice shirt, good quality, a bit too long for my taste, like almost all womens tee shirts are nowadays, IMO

Seems like quality material but it runs a little wide and pretty short. As in, if you raise your arms you're going to show stomach. If I order any more I'll get a regular size.

These are GREAT shirts, but unfortunately they run small and short.
