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

I'd give 4.5 stars. This X-Large/Tall fits great except for the title complaint; the necks are always too tight until these "T"'s are well worn in. I have been relying on them for decades anyway.

Soft, comfortable and well-fitting - what more do you want?

I've owned several of these t-shirts for a couple years now, and when they're right - I love 'em. Unfortunately, regarding the fit, you never know what you're going to get from order to order. I recently ordered one of these in Loden. I got it, it was larger than the last batch I ordered, but it still looked good. Then, I ordered this one. When I put it on, I thought "Did they send me an XXL by accident?". Sure enough, I laid the Loden tee down over the new tee, and it the new one was noticeably wider (it may not seem significant in the photos, but it definitely affects the way the shirt looks while wearing it). I love these shirts, they feel wonderful, they're stylish, but they've got some standardization issues. Just FYI.

I'm a short ,fat guy, that has been ordering your t-shirts for years. The last three shirts that I've purchased have a longer "tail" that covers my butt. Since I almost always wear my t-shirts out, the longer fit is not good. I'm just wondering if the "fit" has been changed on purpose?

The quality of the fabric and the workmanship was very good but the size was way too big compared with similar shirts from other major mens clothing companies.

Nice shirt, but too long for my husband. Wish LL Bean would make shirts in a shorter size, I would buy more for him. Returned.

These are great tshirts, very comfortable. It would be great to have more color choices and in particular, white! A white shirt goes with everything!

Would like to see more colors. The collar is the only problem I have with this shirt. The material around the neck tends to bunch-up and looks wavy.

I have been wearing these shirts in the dark Navy Blue for years. It's comfortable, good weight fabric with a smooth, wrinkle resistant feel, and has a POCKET, which is almost a throwback these days., perfect for a pair of Reader glasses. They also hold up. The only knock on these shirts is lack of decent colors. Anything but the dark blue or black is some kind of "pastel" form, and just don't do anything for me. The "Maratime Red" looks almost pink! C'mon, L.L.Bean, get some deeper reds, greens, or yellows that might appeal to guys like me.

It's the only shirt I wear in the summer. I have around a dozen of them. I'm not impressed with some of the greens and blues that you currently have available. I have two different greens that aren't bad but the latest one is awful.

Nothing better than pure cotton. I have not adjusted to the "new" synthetic fabrics, but have worn them. Cotton is the best! I bought 5 of these, but different colors. Wear them all the time. Don not like wearing theme T-shirts except for OSU or YSU. Definitely recommend.

The black, carefree unshrinkable is my go-to tee. It's versatile, holds color well, really doesn't shrink and is comfortable, but the fit is not as good as the "slightly fitted" version that has been discontinued. Please bring back the "slightly fitted" unshrinkable tee and it will be the perfect tee!

Liked everything about the shirts. Launder nicely. Thought they would have been a little heavier weight. Glad they were available without a chest pocket. But happy with the purchase and the very quick delivery.

I love these T-Shirts and will purchase more in the future. However, the price is way too high for a simple T-Shirt when I can purchase the same product for about one half the price. I like L.L. Bean and have been buying from them since the 1960's and will continue to do so. I just wish the price on these T's was more competitive.

Love the tee shirts. Feels great. Looks good. Love the pocket, but... The iPhone slips out of the pocket like a wet bar of soap. Bending over for something means a death plunge for the phone. I have since gone to another company for pocketed tee shirts that have a safety flap over the top pocket to retain the contents when you are working. If Bean fixes this I will come back.

They have changed over the years. They are lighter and when I measured the new one with a NEW OLD tee it was slightly narrower. They have definitely changed. If it's not broken don't change it please LL Bean.

Comfortable, soft fabric; Fits true to size; does not shrink or lose its shape; washes well. Quality product.

Gift for my husband....The color is nice and fit is true to size.

The cotton was so soft and feels great to wear especially as a sleep shirt. The size is just too large. It doesn't matter for pajama wear but you could not wear it as a regular tee shirt.

I ordered several of these T-shirts in different colors back in 2017. I love all of them except for the white. For some reason, the collar on the white T-shirt looks wrinkled. Very annoying. I have even tried ironing the collar, but it still didn't look that great (besides, who wants to have to iron their T-shirts?).

Washes well. no shrinkage or fading (so far!...only one wash). I have been looking for the thick tee shirts of yesteryear (15 years ago, from LL Bean). This is the replacement garment and the weight of the cotton just isn't as heavy. Otherwise, a perfect tee!

I have purchased several of thse T's for the simple fact that they do not have a neck tag. I have found that a couple of them seem to have a different size neck. Some are smaller than others and are tight around the neck

Black heather - after approximately 12 washings the seam at right shoulder is starting to split.

Feels super soft. Fits loosely

Great midweight T. I have a number of these. Only drawback: the fabric doesn't breath especially well. Not the greatest choice for hot, humid weather in central Texas.
