Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Carefree Unshrinkable T-Shirt without Pocket Short Sleeve

I love this shirt. I wear it as an undershirt for my uniform and it is extremely comfortable and hasn't faded. It is the t-shirt of choice under my uniform.

I received as a gift my first tradition fit LL Bean tee about 4 years ago. Now these are the only T shirts I wear. This is no exaggeration, they are really that good. One complaint- I own a bunch of these T's that have graphics on the front, like a fish on the front or an LL Bean logo. I can't find these now!! Please bring T's back with logos or some outdoor art. I really don't want to wear a blank T shirt. For this reason I have not bought one of these T shirts in a while. And the ones I do own are getting worn. Please bring them back!

Very high quality at a reasonable price. I bought two, and I am definitely buying more. Highly recommended.

I wore it right out of the bag and the fit was perfect. The wrinkles from the packaging disappeared the next day. Material is nice and soft, and the crew neck is wide and worthy of being called a crew neck akin to those you see in the army (but not as tight). The item was backordered but I received it much earlier. Absolutely - 5 stars.

This is my 4th Unshrinkable T-shirt. So comfortable and retains size!

I've had these shirts for a little while now, and I can safely say they're great.

I've been wearing these for years. They start soft, stay soft, don't shrink...only downside is that they make all other t-shirts feel rough and stiff by comparison. I still wear ones that are over ten years old!

I have purchased the L. L. Bean T-shirts for years and have never been disappointed. Through many washings, they don't fade and don't shrink as long as one avoids high dryer temperatures which should not be used for clothing in general. One thing I really dislike is having the neck of a T-shirt stretch out and become permanently larger. That the L. L. Bean T-shirts don't do that is a big reason why I continue to buy them. I have a couple of these T-shirts that I've worn for more than twenty years. Except for a little fraying around the edges, they still look and feel good. I have an on-going struggle with my wife who wants to throw the older ones out! I like the variety of colors that are available. These shirts have been a consistently excellent L. L. Bean product for many years.

Love these shirts in both long and short sleeves. But I love them in yellow too...like the one I'm wearing that's getting worn out. So my question about these shirts is why can't I get some yellow ones right now? Thanks, Kelvin

From a couple of reviews of this tee I was half expecting it to feel "synthetic" and to cause me to break out in a sweat upon donning the shirt. In fact, the material feels quite nice, the shirt is cut generously and true to size and is quite comfortable for all day wear. I did find that my one dark olive shirt, (I'm awaiting fulfillment of a second via backorder), seemed to have a few areas where, for lack of a better term, the material was either pulled, pilled or otherwise blemished. No holes or threads exposed, but perhaps an issue down the road. Hopefully not. I'll agree with a recent review that more color choices would be nice...particularly in the deeper reds and dark hunter or forest greens. Overall, I'm quite pleased with these, especially when purchased at a nice discount during the occasional sale supplemented with my L.L. Bean Visa coupons.

I absolutely love these shirts. I must have at least 20 of them. I have noticed 2 things that might help others. Some complain about the sauna effect, for me this is overcome by washing in cold water and not using water softner either in the wash or in the dryer. Now I have said this in the past and continue to state, PLEASE have more greens, I look good in blue but green is my favorite color and you hardly have any at all.

Very soft and comfy. Cute pocket.

This are the best tees I have ever owned and the only ones I wear after discovering them. My only complaint is that the collars wear out and become ragged long before the rest of the tee does. Actually, I have never had one wear out except for the collar.

Have been wearing these shirts for years, both short and long sleeve. Still give them 5 stars for all the usual reasons, but it seems that the choice of colors keeps diminishing.

Great tee shirt. Flat seams, ultra soft feel and a great fit, I have two other like it. Unfortunately I mistook it for ones I had purchased a year ago(CRS)that had a more textured feel. It is 'only' the fact that I mistakenly thought it was a different shirt that I am sending it back.

Nice sturdy fabric, good cut and fit.

These tees are remarkable. They wash great with no fading or shrinking. They are comfortable and hold their shape.

These shirts are perfect to size. The shirts come out of the washer and drier wrinkle free. Been wearing them for years.

Have used these shirts for quite awhile. They actually do resist shrinking and fading.mthey are slightly more heavy thank a standard tee. One recommendation I would make is to always order the tall. I find it tucks in quite a bit deeper and eliminates the dreaded creep up.

My husband just spilled soy sauce all over this shirt and when he wiped it up with a napkin it literally DISAPPEARED! Not a spot left . We didn't realize the shirt was stain resistant and were truly stunned. We looked up the shirt and item number and found this page. Amazing technology! And comfortable, soft shirt too!

The Carefree Unshrinkable Tee is very comfortable and fit great. I have thinking of more shirts.

The Tall version of these Tee Shirts is perfect for those like me that have grown wider around the middle and the reg Tee rides up around your midsection when lifting your arms. I know I should loose the weight, but until then... Otherwwise these are GREAT shirts, LOVE the material!

Used to buy xxxxx xxx T's - good shirts, but they do shrink some (everybodys shrink some)-- I probably over dry stuff, but these "unshrinkable" t's really are unshrinkable - I'd like to know how they manage it - they are 100% cotton - they're perfect for overweight characters like me, whose shirts shrink, then won't stay tucked in...

I've purchased other t-shirts but keep coming back to these....they hold up and they fit...my favorite. Waiting for LL Bean to offer more colors.

It's a plain white, 100% cotton t-shirt that doesn't shrink. Don't over think it.
