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

Lovely fabric and great color. I was hoping for more blue tones for glacial teal but I still like the color. Fits well in the trunk of the body. Arms a waaaaay too long (by about 4 inches!)

I bought four of these in different colors. I'd give them a 5-star rating, except there is some kind of nylon adhesive or thread inside the seams that creates a persistent itchiness along the shoulder seams where the material meets the neck. I don't feel it at the side seams. I have had to turn them into pajama tops and wear them inside out.

I purchased multiples of this shirt in short and long sleeve and am shocked to say that they're not even lasting a season. The fabric is already degrading. LL bean clothing should last years

I bought 6-8 Pima Cotten Tee shirts - long sleeve and short sleeve and they all shrank lengthwise so much so that I can't wear them. The shirts are well made and the pima cotton is nice.. but I'm really disappointed that I wasted so much money on shirts that I can't wear.

The fabric wasn't as thick as I expected & it was more form fitting than I expected for a regular medium. If it shrinks at all it won't fit. Nice color!

This is advertised as "semi-fitted", but it is not. It is a square, boxy shape with straight sides of the same width from armpit to waist. I am medium tall, 5'7", and bought the Small Tall to accommodate my long torso and arms. The length was fine until I washed it. It shrunk almost 2" in length and is now shorter than my other brand tees in "regular" length. So now it looks both square and cropped, and hangs loosely at the bottom (there's no stretch, all cotton)...very unflattering. Also, the crew neck is too high, like a man's crew neck, rather than a feminine woman's crew neck. However, the pima cotton material and workmanship are good quality. Unfortunately, mine will go to the thrift store since I already cut out the label pre-wash. The cut of these t-shirts seem to be more suited for a rounder, wider body type. If you are slender with a small waist and hips, this is not flattering.

I wanted to like this expensive Tee, but the sleeves are a good 2.5 inches shorter than the ones on my other TALL XL Womens long sleeve shirts. Very disappointed

These used to fit perfectly in a small, and I've pretty much lived in them and another pima style for years, enjoying the silky resilient fabric. Recently I've had to return 4 out of 5 colors in a size small because the sleeves are so tight I can hardly bend my elbows. A medium would be too large in the body. This is too bad since it's such a versatile wardrobe piece.

Item lost at least two inches in length and at least one inch in width when laundered at low heat for both wash and dry.

I submitted this request for the two items and requested rush as wanted the two items for a trip that was planned. I agreed to pay the additional amount. The items did not reach me until I returned from my trip. A very frustrating experience.

I'm 5ft4 washed the shirt on delicate and layed flat to dry . The shirt is to short.

Extremely strong formaldehyde smell when I opened the box. I couldn't even get myself to try on the shirts they smelled so badly. Won't be purchasing from L.L. Bean anymore.

The long sleeves ran short even when I bought a larger size.

My husband bought me this top because I wanted a red top. It's not a true red, but that's not my issue. After washing it once, the shirt barely covers my waist and rides up to show skin if I reach for anything! I compared it with other tips I've washed many times,candy it's several inches shorter. I've never had this problem before with LLBean. I will be returning it.

I've bought these shirts for many years and used to love them. However, I noticed that the sleeves were hanging above my wrist in those I bought recently. I compared the new shirts with older ones I still had (same item number, same size). The more recent versions are shorter by at least an inch and the sleeves are shorter, too. I'm 5'4"; I shouldn't have to buy the tall size to get the sleeves to fit! Unfortunately, I'm not likely to keep buying them.

I still have an XS in these which fits, even after many washes. I sized up, however, since other newer pima tees are now a full size smaller on me. But even with sizing up, the new ones are still very tight in the arms. I still like the fabric, but these narrow arms just don't work on me.

I bought this tee in four colors and the sizes are not uniform. Some are longer than others in the body. The sleeves of the white tee are especially shorter than the rest to the point of being uncomfortable, and one sheeve is actually shorter that the other! I will not be able to machine dry them fearing shrinkage. It would be great if the item came in "tall". I also think the fabric is thinner than the short sleeved ones I purchased previously. I would still recommend the tee, but be prepared to return it if the size is off.

Fabric is so thin. I've been buying these pima t-shirts for years and was so surprised to see how thin the fabric is now. I have the same t-shirt bought several years ago and washed countless times that has thicker fabric now than this brand new t-shirt.

These shirts have been a staple in my wardrobe for years. I just ordered and received a new white one and the fabric is much thinner. With white fabric, you can really tell. Not sure I will keep it, I miss the thicker fabric my older white shirt has. Willing to pay more for better long lasting quality.

quality is good but I would say it runs about 2 sizes small, and the tall sizing is absolutely not actually for tall people but seems more for average height.

There were three issues with this shirt: the strong chemical smell of the fabric (dye?), the tight arms, and the itchiness of the fabric. Recently my purchases of Pima cotton items (from L.L.Bean and other vendors) have had the same itchy feel. My skin is very sensitive so I am returning the shirt. I have older L.L.Bean T-shirts made with Pima cotton that are soft and comfortable so I'm not sure what the deal is with this one.

First time I bought petite, I wore one of the 3 I bought and it shrunk I need to return them for regular.

This is a comfortable shirt. I bought 2 colors in the same sizesmall. One fit perfectly; the other I had to return as it was too small. Another factor was that both had an unpleasant chemical odor. It washed out w the shirt I kept.

The shirt is a true crew neck which I love, the fabric is great, the color wonderful BUT the fit is odd. I am 5'2" 105 lbs with thin arms and the sleeves on this shirt are super skinny! The body is wide so it bunches up under the arms. I ordered petite xs. I would return it but the $6.99 return fee is not worth it. I would not order this shirt again.

I bought this last week. Te size I wear is 2x. It fits like a 1X. Very disapointed.
