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

For some reason, this fabric makes me feel chilly, while also getting sweaty. Not sure which season or what activities it is meant for. I prefer the Soft Stretch Supima Tee because the fabric doesn't have this issue for me.

Well made and soft cotton. I like everything about this Tee except that is shrunk in length - not the sleeves, just the body - and now it's shorter than I prefer.

Nice but it shrinks. In order to avoid shrinkage only air dry. Never use a dryer

The Pima Cotton Tee, Long-Sleeve is not sized as it was previously. I ordered the large petite and the sleeves are too long. I decided to keep them and roll the sleeves up. Not a great solution, however, I grew weary of sending things back. In fairness, the inconsistent sizing is happening with many retail vendors.

Sizing is about one size smaller than you wear normally. I didn't like the texture of the material. It was thin and not cotton texture. I sent it back.

I love these tees EXCEPT the circumference of the neck is larger than it used to be so the neck is a "relaxed" crew at best a REAL disappointment - I feel the same way about the short sleeve pima tees I bought at the same time

Shrinks more than two inches in overall length and sleeve length

Lovely fabric and colors but too wide and short for me. I'm 5'4" and wear an xs.

These are beautiful tees. Plus size. Colors are bold and last. Stitching is nice. The problem is that the body length shrinks over time a lot!

Just ok. The fabric looks crummy fairly soon after the newness is washed out. No neck or cuff ribbing detail to make it special. Average Tee.

Quality seems to have changed .. not as good as previous years.

Neckline falls just at the top of my collarbone, which feels restricting. I had not expected to feel that uncomfortable. Otherwise, it's a perfectly fine t-shirt.

The fabric is wonderful. but the length is more tunic than tee; i could live with that but the sleeves are down to my knuckles--much too long to push up. I wish you would provide the actual garment measurements. I have had garments in this size fit fine and I have also sent others back.

How about you bring back all the beautiful colors you use to have? I would buy 4-6 shirts at a time. Haven't done that in years. Hate the dark colors. Same with your sweaters and down vests. You haven't had a good sale in ages. Haven't bought my jeans in ages either!

Not "Rich Turquoise", but a Teal which is not flattering. I returned it. The fabric is soft and smooth (but I don't know after it's washed). The sizing seems right except the sleeves are extra long. I ordered Medium because I wanted it to fit roomy which it did.

I loved the fabric. It was so soft. However after washing it in cold water and then hanging it to dry it had shrunk at least 1 1/2" in the wrist and in the length. I wish it came in a tall size. Perhaps it would then fit after washing.

I have bought several of these 2X Pima cotton tee and the size fit is never the same. That is the only disappointment about this tee that I have ordered for years. They do wash and wear nicely so I will continue to be a fan of this tee.

I love the feel of the shirt. The problem is that it requires too much care to keep it from shrinking both at the bottom of the shirt and overall. As long as I washed it in cold water and let air dry, it was fine. But after wearing several times, I accidentally forgot to wash in cold water as well as not to dry in the dryer.

I ordered the medium top and was relieved I didnt order small, which I what I usually wear. The shirt is tight on me.It runs very small. I highly recommend ordering a size up

These shirts last after years of washing, and they keep their shape and size. Great quality. However, I must agree with the other buyers: you need to make the length of the the body AT LEAST 1" longer! For some reason LL Bean skimps on the length of some shirts and sweaters, this one being no exception. Also, bring back ivory, pale pink & blue and other softer colors; not bright yellow, dark pink or turquoise.

As many others have pointed out, the sleeves are too short, as is the body of the shirt. I keep pulling the sleeves down, trying to get them to reach my wrists, to no avail. i also retuck the bottom of the shirt constantly. I love the colors and the high-quality pima cotton, and I have a number of these. But PLEASE, Bean's, make these a decent length! I ordered a similar shirt from Lands' End, which is inches longer in both areas. I prefer Bean's, but I can't argue with getting what I need and want in a base layer T-shirt.

This is a very nice shirt. I have it in two colors. The material is very soft. It is thin but warmer than you might expect from the weight. (I do wear layers in cold months.) The fit is decent although it shrank a tiny bit after washing. That shrinkage is noticeable in the sleeve length more than anywhere else and was maybe half an inch. Funny thing is the black shirt shrunk a little bit more than the purplish/ maroony one. Shrinkage could probably be eliminated if the manufacturers pre-shrunk the material before cutting it. It has not shrunk further after washing a few more times.

These shirts were very thin and clingy. I sent them back and exchanged them for the cotton tees that are much heavier.

I love L.L. Bean's pima cotton products and own several of them, from v-neck tees to cardigans to shells. However, the long-sleeve tee comes up very short. I usually wear petite sizes (being just over five feet tall), but even regular sizes in this tee are too short. Meanwhile, the short-sleeve v-neck tee is a *perfect* length, and I can tuck it in even in a petite size without worrying about it falling out of my waistband. There is no way I could tuck in this shirt. I beg of L.L. Bean to please make this tee longer. I cannot find cotton shirts of this quality anywhere and would live in this cotton 24/7 if I could - but I resort to long-sleeve cotton tees from other stores because this tee isn't long enough.

I've hardly worn this shirt because it's just too short for me. I ordered Small Petite. Perhaps if you are usually a petite, the regular would be a bit longer.
