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

I wanted the v-neck version of this t-shirt, but that is apparently no longer offered.

'Nuff said.

Very comfortable and well made shirt. However, they are not 'unshrinkable'. Ordered 3 mediums, which fit perfect until I washed them per directions. They shrunk . Returned them for size large, which after washing, fit perfectly. One odd issue that I don't care for, is that the 100% cotton fabric doesn't readily absorb moisture/sweat when exercising. It actually seems to repel moisture. I've never experienced that with any other cotton tees. Other than those 2 issues, I like the shirts.

However, over time the collar has become misshapen on several of the recent tee purchases.

I live in Duluth long tail tee-shirts. But I was getting tired of their colors. Your shirts are good shirts, but I don't like them as well as my usual Duluths. Yours are not as hefty, and with Florida air conditioning, I appreciate their heavier fabric. I was also trying to home in on a size, so tried your Large-Tall and a Regular-XL. Neither fit me as well as my Duluth Regular Larges. So - not bad shirts, just not for me. Back to Duluth.

The current shirts are much better than some of the older shirts. I have bought shirts from you for quite a few years. The dye in some of the older shirts faded after several washes. The current shirts seem to not fade now. Another slight problem in most of the shirts that I buy, is that the collars tend to fold. I have bought some that don't fold but most of them do.

Shirt fits well. Only complaint; the shipping package was so tight that I nicked the shirt in getting it open.

These tees are good old fashioned cotton. A decent weight and good stitching/construction. Not like so many light-weight poorly done tees you find in stores. I was hoping I could count on LL Bean and you came thru. Good colors, too. A little pricey (so you missed that 5th star), but worth it. Keep the quality. I appreciate it.

These are good T's and I have purchased them several times before. Very pleased with the color selection and the extra long length available. Very good quality too. My only gripe is that another well known "rugged" brand uses thicker and beefier cotton which I strongly prefer.

What happened to WHITE ???? What happened to LONG sleeve /with pocket ???

fine T shirt Feels good wears well,but, why no white offered?

probably slightly overpriced but I like the tee shirt

Shirt is so-so quality.

Every t-shirt in my dresser drawer is a size large, including some older favorites I've had for years that were made by LL Bean. These are great t-shirts and I just received the 5 new ones I ordered in my traditional size large. Even though I've gained quite a bit of weight since I first started shopping with LL Bean over 25 years ago, these new shirts look like parachutes on me. That is more than a bit frustrating. I can deal with the fact that I myself am getting larger (i.e. fatter) and am working to address this on my own, I don't need LL Bean trying to compensate for me, lol. Is this the so called "vanity sizing" that I've read about? Normally I would happily give shirts like these 5 stars, but due to the fit issues at least one star had to fall from the sky.

I have several of these t's, mostly I love them. A couple of them seem to have different material for the collar. After a couple washings, they developed "bacon neck".

Same old, same old. I've bought these over and over. But now, medium was huge. Thinking of trying small but don't want to have to pay to return them again if they don't work so guess I'll see what Target has.

Well made tee shirt with a comfortable weight and feel to the fabric, but fit is a little large.

The shirts fit. They keep their shape, all cotton is important to me. Love them...have gotten them for over 20 years now!!! I notice Bean is putting more and more polyester in their clothing. Hate that.

These shirts are well proportioned and comfortable just like the famous Bean chamois shirts but both have the same problem of very poor collar materials that wear and fray long before the rest of the shirt wears out and like most Bean products, over priced. The extra price was valid for years because of the lifetime replacement policy, but that no longer exists, so the high price is simply for people wanting to boost their image by wearing the Bean name. Without the replacement promise the value of Bean products needs to be reconsidered.

Got the Large Tall. Fits great, the neck is a little tight.

Good quality fabric, but it's too large in every dimension. Unless you are an extremely thick person, I would only consider this shirt as an undershirt. It fits like a dress if you leave it untucked.

A good T but too much material to be an undershirt. Can wear as is.

Bought Medium/Tall T-shirt. Sleeves on short-sleeve T-shirt should be one inch longer. F.Y.I. I own 25+ L.L. Bean T-shirts!

I would give the tees 5* if they offered a white tee and more heather colors

Very nice material. They ran a little large for me compared to my other XL t's.
