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

Have bought Pima shirts for years, size XL. The last order was too small, had to return. Hopefully it was a miss mark, but may order again to see if it was miss marked. Otherwise, I love there long sleeve t-shirts.

This top is extremely soft and the red color is gorgeous, which are the only reasons I'm keeping it. The cut is very awkward with lots of extra material under the arms, and the side slits come up almost to my waist. I would not buy it again.

The cotton is wonderfully soft, but the seams are wide and uncomfortable. I buy these tees and wear them as bed shirts, inside-out, so the seams don't scratch my skin. Too bad because the fit is great for slender women.

I was hoping there would be stretchy material in this...without it it will likely shrink and be useless after washing.

The color is darker than the catalog picture. Fabric is nice. Cut different than my old turquoise pima shirt.

It shrinks. Very disappointing that it shrank a lot in the length. I bought 3 in different colours . They all shrank

This is a beautiful fabric, but it is much too short. I also ordered the long sleeve Pima cotton V-neck tee and the V-neck is two inches longer. If you are tall and concerned about shrinkage, I recommend the V-neck over this one. This would be appropriate for petite women.

The material is not very substantial, for the price.

The sleeves are very short and are nothing like what is shown on the model. Mine barely hit my wrist before I washed them. I talked to a retail associate who said this type of cotton wouldn't shrink when washing. But the sleeves are now about 1 1/2 inches too short after washing in cold water and doing a damp dry. Definitely disappointing because I like the feel and the neckline.

I'm 5'8 and this short is borderline too short. I'm not comfortable wearing it without it constantly worrying it will ride up. Would not buy again.

Too big and too long for my wife, so she returned this item.

I thought I'd found a great everyday shirt and bought two, in Raven Blue and Black. But as soon as I washed them (which was immediately, because of the strong odor of the fabric) they fit slightly smaller. Then, after wearing one of them and washing it again, it shrank even more; it's is now an inch shorter than the other. And yes, I washed with cold water and dried on low. I'd recommend ordering a size up.

I love the soft material and the colors are beautiful. I bought two of them but am disappointed because they barely cover the top of my dress pants. I am a bit busty but not abnormal. I have to wear a shirt over them or my stomach will show. Otherwise I would have bought every color. The tee crewneck style is long enough but for some reason, these long sleeved shirts are a few inches too short.

The fabric is beautiful but the sleeves are too narrow, I returned it.

I bought 3 different colors. The care and wash tag is not soft. It's scratchy paper that I had to cut off the shirts.

I ordered white and "butter" of this top. They fit fine but are too fitted in the middle for my taste. Land's End size of same top is more flattering. By the way, I had complained to customer service a while back that the picture of "butter" in the catalogue looked more like Country Crock margarine. I was pleasantly surprised that it is a beautiful shade of yellow.

I really wanted to like this t-shirt. The color was beautiful and the quality was excellent. I did not care for the fit however. The shirt was too short and very boxy. Unfortunately, I am sending it back.

I have 6 of these shirts and all 6 have shrunk in length. They are about 5 years old. I like the softness of the fabric but don't like shrinking. Hopefully the shirts that I bought recently, will not shrink.

This is a staple of wardrobe, but unfortunately it's very short in the body and sleeves. Disappointing. It should be 3" longer to fit well under sweaters. I am average height and weight.

I really wanted to love this quality T-shirt and ordered two in the capri color. The fit is spot on; however, the blue dye has an odor that won't wash out. I do have allergies so I assume that this is the reason.

The fabric and quality are great. But it's a short fit. I wash in cool water and hang dry, but I am constantly pulling at it when wearing.

Nothing wrong with the shirt. I just wanted it looser so ordered a larger size. Fabric and craftsmanship is fine.

Extremely nice quality. I wish I could have tried on the shirt in the store because i needed more of a scoop neck to wear with something. The color was perfect, just like the website photo. I wear an 8 and ordered a medium, fir was good; but the high neck didn't work for me. It would be fine to wear under a sweater for warmth. I sent it back.

For me the neck was cut too high. I was always tugging at this tee shirt because it bothered me around my throat. Also, I've had the cowl neck pima cotton that was much softer than this crewneck. I had to return it and will stick with the V-neck tee.

Nice material but shrinks in length. Received as gift. Sad to not like
