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

I purchased two shirts the same size. When I bought them they fit me just fine. I washed them for the first time in cold water and I let them air dry. Now the sleeves and neckline are tight. They no longer fit me in a way that makes me comfortable wearing them which is unfortunate. The length and shoulders seem to be the same, but I'm not sure what happened with the sleeves and neckline.

Maybe the definition of a crewneck opening has changed, and I missed the update, but the crewneck long-sleeved T-shirt that I received is closer to a scoop neck. This seems to be the style for all Bean T-shirts now, at least for the short sleeve and long sleeve versions I've ordered for the past year. If you are looking for a crewneck T-shirt that fits close to the base of the neck, this is not the shirt to buy.

Will not wear your new fit which is several inches smaller making the fit too tight. The shoulders and neckline fit as before. I will no longer purchase your tee shirts.

When I got 3 of these, fit great. Then laundered, following guidelines to wash cold, dry low heat. After, EVERY SINGLE ONE SHRUNK A SIZE!! also, material is very thin and flimsy. Would return but since fit good before laundering, did not keep receipt. Disappointed a lot!

I normally take a large in this type of shirt. The material was of good quality but I was very disappointed in the length of the shirt. Felt like a belly shirt. Plenty of room otherwise.

I have several of these tees and have worn them a lot. However, I had to go up a size this time :( and the sleeves were much too long. I wear a petite because of my height and going up a size should not have affected the sleeve length but it did.....by about 3". Even if these would shrink a bit, the sleeves would still have been too long, so I had to return them. The quality is good but I have noticed in the past few years that the sizing consistency is lacking.

For many years, I have ordered Bean's crewneck pima tops. For the first time, I have been disappointed by the length, which was shorter than usual and by the dye color of one of the 2 shirts that I ordered. The lavender color that I ordered turned out to be much more gray than lavender. The dark green one was true to the photo and description. The quality control seems to have slipped, and I would be reluctant to order this these items again (sigh).

This shirt does not live up to my expectations for L.L. Bean. Originally, I ordered a size small in coral but after I washed it (cool wash, low temp dry) it had shrunk so much that it was uncomfortable - tight in the arms and too short through the body. I gave this shirt to my mother-in-law who is 5 feet tall and 100 pounds. She, too, commented on how short it was through the body. I ordered a medium (I'm 5'5" and 125 pounds -and not big in any area), and, again after washing it was short through the body. I have never had this problem in a shirt before. I do not recommend this shirt unless the wearer is short-waisted. Average and long-waisted people will not be covered.

Way too short. And I am only 5' 0" tall.

I have been shopping on LL Bean for years, but, quite frankly I am not satisfied with this shirt anymore. I am not a big person at all - 5'2" and 120 pounds and the sleeves are so snug before I even wash it. The material is really too thin for a winter shirt. The care instructions are printed on the white shirt in gold and hard to read. On the inside paper label it is just in foreign languages - that is not right. This is an American company. You can do better than this LL Bean if you want my business.

I am not tall and this shirt is super short. It is also very wide. The only thing I liked was the softness of the fabric. The fit is awful.

Soft and great color. I found the shirt was too short and did not fall at my hip as advertised. I am 5' 6". No option for "tall" fit. Need to return.

Very disappointed I've bought llbean pima cotton tees for years I've notice the past year or two that quality has greatly changed. The last 3 I've bought have developed holes with very little use.

When I buy/gift t-shirts I only want products that can withstand a normal wash and dry. I received 3 of these t-shirts for Christmas in size small, my normal size. Before washing they were slightly long in the body and arms. After one wash they have shrunk noticeably and are now somewhat too short in both places. I'm short-waisted but still will not use these except under a sweater. This is a shame since LL Bean always has better color choices than its competitors.

It fit me true to size, no complaints there. My only issue is I cannot stand the thin material, the Pima cotton. Its slimy like and feels uncomfortable on my skin. Also, it's too shiny and cheap looking. Not a fan at all! I much prefer the interlock cotton, it's thicker and holds shape well. I normally wear a large but with Bean knits, I always go up one size because you will lose a good inch or two when you wash for the first time, guaranteed!

I began ordering from LLBean in 1999 and have enjoyed so many of their women's clothes for travel and everyday wear. I have loved the pima cotton tops and the past two orders have been such a disappointment. Totally different than what they've had for years. Do not launder and dry well and always wrinkled no matter how careful I am. Now I need to find a different vendor and try to find the old quality. These are made in Peru but the fabric is just not up to par.

The general body fit of the shirt is true to size, but the sleeves (by a couple of inches) and especially the length of the shirt (several inches) are too long, disproportionately so! I also don't like the clingy nature of the material. Very disappointed...returned all of the shirts (I had ordered five in different colors).

I have been wearing this shirt for years. My most resent purchased ones shrinks so much they are no longer long sleeve but 3/4 sleeve and are way to short. They have shrunk 3-4 inches in length

I like everything about it except it's too short. Wish it was longer.

Women who wear petite have shorter arms and legs than those who wear regular. I've noticed that the sleeves and slacks in petite have gotten longer the past few years. The sleeves on this LS tee shirt went way past my fingertips. I used Bean Bucks so I'm keeping it and will push the sleeves up. Otherwise I'd have returned it.

Ordered 3 in medium and the colors were beautiful - turquoise, celadon and plum. Opened one and tried it on and was so disappointed at the fit. There was way too much fabric under the arms. The fit was without any form at all and just hung. The seams felt especially thick. Too bad - they all went back.

Yuck! I have 3 of these that I bought within the past 2 years and I loved them. But this one (and with the same item number),,,, the neckline is so much smaller it's too close for comfort. And the material feels oddly synthetic, not luxuriously soft like your prior versions. And the shoulder seam is so prominent! It looks and feels like a mediocre department store purchase, not an LLBean product. What happened?? Returning it.

For 0ver 30 years I've been buying tees from Beans. Now we have this size called "slightly fitted." I'm not a really heavy person, but I love my tees loose. I always ordered up one size. Now, no matter what I do, I can't get the nice body skimming tee I use to get at Beans, not in pima. So sad.

We have been loyal LLBean customers. I ordered three women's tee shirts. One with three-quarter sleeves (fit perfect) and two of the long sleeves. I took them on a business trip. The length of white one was unusually short but became even shorter after one washing in cold water no dryer. The second shirt also shrunk from bottom. Although not as bad it is short and I am unable to wear without a sweater covering my waist. Funny, the sleeves and bust were fine. I am sending both shirts for a refund.

Great fit and fabric is nice, until I washed in cold water and tumbled dried on low. It shrunk up and is way too short on me. Disappointing because I would want one in several colors.
