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

This review isn't for the shirt but for order pick up, absolutely terrible system. Ignore the online inventory, LL Bean will not follow or fulfill. Instead they will reach out with an email asking for your to either mail your item or be sent to the store. So if you need the item and it says it's available based on inventory. This is inaccurate. Customer service wasn't any help.

I ordered a regular small and a petite small as I am only 5"1'. The fabric does not feel right and is slick. Both sizes were two to three inches short. I am not sure who these are made for, but not for petite women. The winter styles are the correct length.

shrinks after washing fits upon receiving after first wash shrinkage

The pima cotton shirts, that I purchased in the past never shrunk - these shirts I recently purchased have all shrunk & I am so disappointed!

I washed this t-shirt and when it came out of the dryer there were three holes in the front! I have never had an LL Bean t-shirt fall apart after only one wash. All the previous pima cotton tees I've bought have lasted a long time. I am returning this and hope to get a replacement that is the same color.

I love these tees. They are the best quality tee I have ever found - I would buy duplicates in many colors. The problem is that they are too short for me. I need a tall or tunic length. I have this problem with many of the L.L.Bean tops and jackets! Wish I could buy more!

Wonderful midweignt long skeeved cotton tee. I ordered this for my trip to Australia in April (It will be Octobrt there), and thr weight is great for cooler days.

I'm embarrassed to say how many of these tees I own, along with the same shirt in the short-sleeved and tank versions. After buying them for years, I've noticed the last couple years that the quality has declined, presumably to hold down the cost. Specifically, the sleeves have been getting shorter on the long-sleeved version, and on two of the long-sleeved tees I bought fall 2024 and have worn (maybe) a half dozen times, the hems are coming out because they're apparently chain-stitched. I can probably repair the white tee so the hem still looks good untucked, but won't be able to match thread to repair colors otherwise, and I shouldn't have to! I understand the desire to hold down costs, but I would happily pay a few dollars more for sleeves that I don't have to keep yanking down and for stitching that won't unravel.

I like my shirts a little long, so I bought a regular instead of a petite. It still hits just below the waist, rather than hip length like it showed in the picture on the website. And the chemical smell persisted even after I aired it out for awhile.

I have bought a ton of supima tee's from LL Bean over the years. They always shrink no matter how you wash. I was tempted to try again, but decided to read reviews first. It is obvious the company has still not addressed this problem as they are still getting complaints. Instead of saying we stand behind our product you can get a refund, why don't you actually fix the problem. This makes NO sense to me!!!

I am a short woman with a short body. Way too short.

I bought this long sleeve Pima cotton crewneck in the dusty purple color. I think the color is very drab & not at all flattering. All other aspects of the tee are okay & I will wear it at home. The dusty purple color appears more vibrant on your webpage. I suggest you bring back the periwinkle sky color you offered a few years ago. I would be happy to buy that color.

I ordered my merchandise via telephone and reiterated what I wanted and sizes. I ordered 3 shirts all the same size "woman's large"..I received one the right size, one woman's petite and one is on backorder and still not have received. These were gifts for Christmas so as you can see it was not good. Will be very wary to order from L.L. Bean again.

I was disappointed with the two petite long sleeve pima tees I ordered. The shirts seemed slightly smaller than the ones I have ordered previously and after washing according to label instructions they shrunk too much to be worn. It was the length of both the body and the sleeves that were a problem. The fabric itself is very nice but I ended up returning the petite shirts and have ordered the regular size hoping those will work better.

I am extremely disappointed in the quality of this product. After one wash there are holes in the front of the fabric. Poor quality

Is not the same quality. Sleeves shrunk after washing

have 2 petite shirts i am returning, as they are very short - not properly sized. I've been getting your clothes for years, and this is the first time this has occurred. I am especially unhappy I must pay to return what I consider faulty items. They are dark green and maroon, ordered in December. Thank you for your inquiry.

This shirt is not hip length as stated. I had to return the medium for a large. The large fits like a small medium. The sleeves are too short. The shirt is too short. LL Bean is trying to save money by using less material?

Followed directions for washing in cold water and drying low temp and shrunk

I wear these constantly: I have 5 black & 5 white in my closet all the time. I like the fit and material. BUT they very quickly develop pinholes in the front about waist height. It used to take a year or so and I didn't mind getting new ones but I am now replacing them 3-4 times a yearthis year I bought in January, April, and August, and the August ones are already showing holes in December. This happens to every single shirt in the same spot, both colors and has done so through multiple replacements. Note: I wash them in cold water, and dry in dryer (they shrink to a perfect fit.) The pinholes are NOT from exposed pants or jacket zippers, I wear the black ones with different pants than the white ones, the black go exclusively with yoga pants, they never touch metal. No other tee-shirt I own develops these holes. I am very disappointed and now on the hunt for a replacement brand.

Not like my other Pima tees. I bought medium which is my usual size and it's too short and tighter than I like. The short sleeve Pima top I bought this summer was too long.

I have been wearing these pima cotton tees for decades. I had to send back my last order as the sizing is off. The sleeves on the petite medium are over two inches longer than the others in my closet. No need to keep them. I was charged over $6.00 to mail them back. I'd like to re-order them but I think I'd have the same problem and be out $6.00 shipping once again so I am shopping elsewhere.

I have been buying these tees for decades. I wear a petite size and the two that I just had delivered are not petite. The sleeves are two inches too long. I just sent them back. I don't think I should have to pay for shipping but I do. I'm out over $6.00 for shipping.

I bought this tee in four different colors and 3 different sizes. I bought XS, XS tall and Small tall (I have a ling torso). I really wanted to like this shirt because I trust LL Beans quality, but I have to be honest, I did not like this at all. I weigh 130lbs and I'm 5'4". The upper arm in ALL of the sizes was tight, oddly tight and caused the shirt to pull strangely around the bust and neck. I am more on the muscular side, but I have never had this problem with any other tees. Needless to say, they all went back. I am glad some like them, but I could not get past the arms being tight.

This shirt had so much going for it until I discovered, yet again, that the crew neck hole was big enough to get a soccer ball through. Don't believe the picture. It seems I should expect this given the track record in the last year. I wear a lot of LL Bean cloths because they fit. Perhaps the foreign makers think plus size people have exceptionally large heads atop their large bodies, ain't so! I need some long sleeve crewneck shirts but I am sorry ti say I will have to find another source.
