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

When I got it, I tried it on and it barely fit for being a XL. I bought this as a replacement because all my other pima tees SHRANK in the wash with being air dried (the length shrunk not the sleeves). I don't know if I got one that was just cut to small or if this is how they run know.

I have a T-shirt I was wearing which I love for both its comfort and sizing. So I ordered 3 more of the same size, large regular. All 3 are sized much smaller, made in Peru which is usually a good thing, and on 2 of them the tags were dyed the color of the T-shirt which I find unusual. I have returned them as I am now doing on most items purchased from LLBean. So very disappointing as I have always been a loyal customer but can no longer take the chance with an order.

Why are these tees so short? The petite XS would be a perfect fit for me if it it were about 2 inches longer. I'm only 5'1" and not long-waisted, but this tee barely covers the top of my jeans. I'm constantly tugging at it to keep it from riding up. Actual dimensions of clothing should be available on the website.

I was disappointed in the quality of the fabric. Years ago I bought the same shirt in the same color. The fabric from the older shirt is much heavier. I wish you would go back to the same fabric because it's much better than this shirt I bought a few weeks ago. I'm going to keep it because I needed another shirt while the other was in the wash.

This shirt runs small, I need to exchange it for a large.

The tags (multiple) in the side seam were so irritating that I had to remove them IMMEDIATELY. In the process - there is no way to avoid breaking the side seam. So next I had to sew that back up again. Also - the sleeves are rather tight - like too tight to push up above the elbow - and they are a bit short for me - landing a couple inches above my wrist. The fabric is very soft and comfortable- once the tags were removed. And the color is lovely. I bought the light blue one. For the price - I'm not satisfied

In many years of ordering from Bean, I never encountered such a bad odor upon opening a package. Formaldehyde? It is a sour, vinegar-y smell and very strong. I am assuming it will wash out, so I will keep it, but wouldn't order another. The cotton is not as smooth as I expect from Pima.

I usually fit in a small from LLBean but the small was too tight. I sent the small back and got a medium, which was a better fit. I was disappointed that after washing, I think it shrunk, which is unusual for LLBean's quality of clothing. Returns are easy with the LLBean credit card.

This is not one of LL Bean's more durable shirts. The color fades after just a few washes.

I have purchased LL Bean pima cotton long sleeve t shirts for at least 10 years because of the fabric quality but especially because the sleeve length was perfect. The sleeve length on this shirt was 1 and 1/2 inches longer than previous shirts so was greatly disappointed. I wear the shirt with a rolled up cuff. Kept it only because the color was so pretty. Doubt I will order more which is truly disappointing.

Liked the colors. I ordered tall but I wish they were a little longer in the body. Seems to shrink a little in the wash.

These tees have been my favorite shirts for years (definitely were 5 Stars). They were always just the right weight/thickness and always had a silky feel. I always wore the same size. Sometime this year, it seems the material changed. I ordered red and azalea and they just aren't the same shirt. The material is heavier and not silky, and has a strange stretch to it. And the fit is off by one size -- XL is too small now.... and the length is way shorter than before. Has LLBean changed the material for these tees after all these years? Please change them back. Thank you.

I don't ever post reviews but in this case, I needed to save other women a lot of frustration. I purchased 5 of these T's in size LG, which is my usual size with LL Bean, at my local store. I washed them in cold and dried them on low. They shrank a great deal in the arm length (about 2")as well as in the body length. I brought them back and re-purchased them in an XL. After washing and drying them, I got the same shrinkage results. I just ordered them in a women's plus because other than the shrinkage, they are very soft and comfortable. I will update this post after the one I ordered is washed and dried.

Length is too short as well as sleeve length . It will also shrink. I wash it in warm water , delicate cycle & air dry. I never put it in the dryer. But, it does shrink 2-3 inches. Love the cotton fabric.

Very nice fabric but boy did it shrink, way more than I expected since I washed in cold and dried on med. The neckline is also very tight. I think if I sized up it would have been okay

I've always ordered my T-Shirts from LL Bean and was a little disappointed with the fit of this one. It is more fitted than I look for in a T.

I typically order petite and am usually happy with the sizing but this shirt just won't stay tucked in and I am short waisted. I will keep it because I love the color and fabric, just not tuck it as I planned

I have been buying these shirts for many years and the quality and sizing has deteriorated. These shirts are running too short. Sadly, until LL Bean stops changing best selling products, I will not buy as much as I have in the past. Recently, over the past few years, you have been cutting corners on women's clothing and making the sizing much smaller, shorter and much, much too fitted! The body on these shirts are now running much too short.

Pls make length longer - these tend to shrink length wise anyway. Usually buy at Target because their lengths tend to be longer. Wish top was longer to drape more over waist to hip

There doesn't seem to be any consistency in sizing from style to style nor from one year to the next. I ordered same size as last year, some styles fit, some don't. Hassle to exchange.

I've purchased many shirts of this style from many different companies and have found that too many of them shrink in length so quickly which, for me, make them unwearable. I thought if I paid a bit more like these at llbean, I might have a shirt that will remain long enough to cover my behind. I ordered three of these in three different colors and have washed each of them just once. The black one measures 2 inches longer than the other two! So disappointed!

These are nice quality shirts but I won't buy any more of the long sleeved because for myself I'd like them to be longer at the waist. After washing they shrink up to be just too short for my personal taste. As example, after washing,they don't come down even as far as the top of the back pocket of my jeans. The sleeve length is adequate. The similar short sleeved v-neck t's are a good 2" longer even after washing, I'll stick with the longer waisted short sleeve t's for now.

Rich is exactly how I'd describe the turquoise color. It's nice and the fabric is very smooth. But after washing in cold water, the petite small was only 20 1/2 inches long. I didn't measure before washing but tried it on and I'm sure that washing shortened the tee. It is also a little more fitted than I expected. The shoulder seams are just right so I don't know if I should size up.

I keep coming back to you, hoping for a version that is 3 inches longer. So many people have asked - I don't get it. These are simply too short and they get shorter in the dryer. Make them in a tall and I would buy them in bulk.

Ok, colors are important to me. I wanted to love this top. I love Pima cotton. Fits well. The crew neckline was a little confining, but ok. The dealbreaker is this shirt was labeled "rich turquoise" and the photo was a beautiful rich turquoise. In real life, it's a dull, muted blue. Think of the ocean--its color can only reflect the sky above. This was the ocean on a grey cloudy day--dull--not very joyful. Very disappointed. Will return it.
