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

I really liked the color of this top and the quality. However, the medium I ordered was too small. According to the size guide the medium should have fit. Either the size guide is incorrect, or the manufacturer is not making the top correctly.

Bought this in a Large Petite as I do every other shirt or sweater from LLBean. It was tighter and much shorter than the other shirts. Very strange fit.

Expected 100% cotton. The fabric clings likely due to spandex.

The color is great; the cotton soft. But it shrank 2 inches in length on the first washing! I sent it back and received a refund.

The first time I washed this shirt, it shrunk so badly that I can no longer wear it. This is completely unlike the long sleeve cotton tees that I have ordered from LLBean in the past. Poor quality cloth, I suppose. Not up to standard for a company that has always had reliably durable products before this.

About 5 years ago I ordered 2 of these tees, but I noticed they were too short. This Past Christmas I ordered again thinking to give them another try, however, they had not improved one bit in terms of length. Not sure if they are aware at Llbean, us girls like to have some coverage. I'm going to try and add some pictures and compare it with another tee I have, so you can see the difference. Please Llbean make these longer the quality is great, but the length is awful. You can't even raise your arms without exposing your skin or belly button. Apparently the photo feature is disable, I will send an email with the photos to Llbean.

"Perfect Fit" was not a perfect fit. Did not look well on me.

Not the Pima cotton I was used to. Thinner, they shrank after cold wash dryer on low! Poor quality.

I have several of these T shirts - bought over the past few years. The fit was perfect. I just bought a butter color this year, and the cut is much smaller - it's uncomfortably tight. I am so disappointed. I've already washed the shirt (thinking it would fit like the others) so can't return it. Hope someone at Goodwill likes it. I hate to spend that much money on a shirt and not be able to wear it.

Made smaller than expected. Returned. Never have had much luck with Bean fit compared to other merchants on tops. Well made, though.

Poor quality. I have older cashmere sweaters and they are "softer" and better made. Again, they call a drop neckline a crew. Looks really bad.

I can't believe manufacturers can legally claim cotton. When the trend started they used to say "5 % lycra to help retain shape." Now NOTHING is real cotton. LLBean is one of the worse offenders, this shirt went straight to Goodwill. Do not buy it unless you like to sweat.

I keep ordering pima t shirts from LL Bean and they all develop holes where the threads break. I believe the fabric is woven with such thin thread that it will not hold up to wear. The last T shirt was washed just once before it developed a hole.

The fabric is very thin. I have several from previous years and the fabric is not this thin. I returned all 5 I ordered.

This material is see through flimsy! Certainly not winter quality weight cotton. They had good winter weight crews in the past. The arms were so tight that if I washed it I wouldn't be able to get into again and anyone would be uncomfortable in. I am thin. Shirt also had an obnoxious chemical smell.

Very disappointed that a pattern of small holes appeared at belt level after the first time I wore and washed the shirt.

I have been a satisfied LL Bean shopper for many years and the LL Bean Master card is the only card I use. I bought this shirt several months ago and after washing it just twice at a medium temperature and never putting it in the dryer, the length has shrunk 2 or 3 inches. I usually buy clothes for my grandchildren at LL Bean and this was a special purchase just for me. Very disappointing.

Beware these t-shirts shrinka lot!

It's SUPIMA cotton...have no idea what that is. Even though it is advertised as PIMA cotton. Does not feel anything like 100% cotton

not for me. fabric fabulous, but t shirt very boxy. Looking for long and lean and this did not fit right.

I purchased several of these tees this year wanting long sleeves and something to layer under a flannel shirt while at home. When new they fit fine, a little wide in the shoulder area and the sleeves needed to be turned up a little. But after washing a few times the shirts just got shorter and shorter till now they are just at high hip. I am just shy of eighty and and was looking for a shirt that would cover my tummy. At this rate I'll be lucky if they cover my waist in a few months. These tees are not cheap so they shouldn't shrink at all, let alone shrink UP where least needed. I will not be buying them again.

This feels like it's very thin. Very droopy on the body Not durable or attractive Super disappointed. The men's T-shirts' are thicker And hold shape better Wont buy again.

I ordered 2 long sleeve crew neck tee shirts. I wore one of them twice and noticed that it was already developing small holes in the front. I laundered it and returned both shirts immediately.

The sleeves shrank about 2 inches after first wash. I will wear the one I have but not planning to buy any more. Generally, LLBean's quality has deteriorated in the past few years and there are more and more products that I will no longer buy from them. It's too bad for me but probably ok for llBean since it seems that the only consideration for them is their bottom line. Their quality is nowhere near what it used to be.

Upon opening this back ordered item today it smelled awful as if someone spilled an entire bottle of salad oil on the top of the entire shirt. I opened a window in a room but hours later my entire floor smelled fowl. I contacted the company who stated the item is on back order until December 9th which does not help me although I appreciate them getting back to me. With the world today it's just not the best idea for anyone to accept quality of items that may have been used or mishandled unsanitary when packaged. Not acceptable.
