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

I order these t-shirts with pocket for my husband who really likes them. I have given him many of the different colors for presents. They hold up well when washed and dried.

I have many of these t-shirts. They are comfortable and long lasting. My only knock is that after some use the collars tend to "roll".

Overall a very good TShirt. There is some shrinkage and inconsistency in the sizing of the shirts between the different colors. For Example, Red might fit a little snug across the shoulders as compared to black. Not sure why that is?

It's fine. The old model was great.

These Tees are made of excellent material, the construction could not be better and the comfort is vert good. If the neck was one inch smaller the Tee would be perfect. I ordered small.

This is a good quality product in the LL Bean tradition, but I was surprised at the size of the large size I ordered. This thing was really large in the "original style",large and square. My wife washed in warm water and dried in dryer, but as stated, this item does not shrink! I use it for a night shirt and I'm sure it'll last forever.

I have been buying and wearing these tees exclusively for years. They are the best quality tees I have found: good cloth, superb stitching, excellent stain resistance due to the applied treatment, surprisingly durable, close-fitting neck, and great selection of colors. Also, the no-questions-asked return policy is good business. But there is room for improvement. I have been frustrated over variation in the fits. For some reason I have not discovered, the fit of the shirt varies enough to make a difference. They are either perfect or too large, enough to make them baggy until I wash and dry them hot a few times to intentionally shrink them to my real size. My favorites are the heather cloth which is thicker and more substantial. The thinner ones are cooler in Summer. If the fit was consistent I would not hesitate to award 5 stars. One of my dresser drawers is stuffed full of these. They are half of my daily regular attire.

These are great T-shirt's but the white is definitely NOT White. More of an ecru. Unless I just got an old one.

I bought several of these shirts to work out in. I need an extra large shirt for my chest and shoulders, but most are not long enough so the availability of a tall attracted me. These fit great. What I do not like about these shirts is that they do not soak up sweat, something you would expect a 100% cotton shirt should do, especially a work out shirt. Also the washing instructions say not to use fabric softner??? This does not work out well with the way I do laundry so I do not bother. I've seen this instruction on synthetic wicking shirts and shorts, but cotton??? I'm clueless as to why.

I love LL Bean tees because they last forever and fit great. However, the last tee shirts that my wife purchased for me have tiny little pockets that you can't put a pen, or glasses into without losing them. On an X-large shirt you would think that the pocket would be large enough to be usable. Not only is it not safely useable, it looks ridiculously small. This may be overly picky, but I use my shirt pocket and was the difference between 4 stars and 5 stars on the review.

Shirts are great but how about some vibrant summer colors? Golden yellow, coral, cobalt stone, teal, raspberry, etc... The heathers are just boring.

The soft fabric makes this a very comfortable t-shirt. I pretty much wear these daily and they've held up very well for over a year with minimal fading of the color. I tried to shrink one by not following the washing instructions and it did shrink a little (shorter and smaller). My only complaint is that the collar does not hold up. All my collars have started developing a "bacon" look otherwise it'd be 5 stars.

Love these shirts but the color choices are limited. I only buy navy and black. I don't like the 'heather' style. Wish there were more choices like dark red and green.

I've bought many of these over the years and really like the fit; not too tight in the shoulders and not too baggy. I love the material too - doesn't fade too bad (except navy blue which does fade in the middle), resists stains and doesn't get stretched out. The biggest problem, though, is the colors. There are fewer of them and not a big fan of the color choice. Being male, I like the dark earthy tone and very few of these are left (basically black and navy blue). I haven't bought a new one in years and would love to buy more, just don't like the colors.

Unfortunately the collars on my 3 shirts wrinkle up. Other non LL Bean T's don't get wrinkled collars.

This is my second order for this tee shirt and really enjoy the fit and look. The only problem I have with it is that it seems like you a wearing a sauna in hotter and more humid weather, it just doesn't breath. The tag says 100% cotton, but wonder if it is what the cotton is treated with. Still a great tee shirt.

A good quality tee is hard to find for a good price. This is it. Sized for oldsters and I'm sure they have slimmer.

T-shirt is made well, true to size. I am 6'1" and weigh 220 pounds. The regular XL fits me well. The fabric is very soft but a little lighter fabric than the older llbean t-shirts.

Hi. I was hoping you would have more color choices this year. My husband has most of the colors you offer except the orange heather which is not a good color for him. Why not have more color choices in what probably is one of your best sellers. Thanks

These are probably the best t-shirts out there. The stain resistances doesn't work on bleach though as I ruined two of these in one week brushing up against some shower cleaner.

I have several of these t-shirts, and generally like them. I have a few that were primarily worn outside, and you may be certain the sun fades them (even if washing will not). You should see the differences in the inside and outside colors of the shirts. I just bought some more, so you see how "unhappy" I am.

Extra large T-shirts (3) ... yes, the soft LLBean high quality texture is evident, but the color is very yellow-ish (as if these shirts had been stored in a warehouse for years). The shirts were not like the bright white sample shown on the web site. I even tried bleaching them, but to no avail. That dull yellow-ish color is un-removable. Is there such a thing as fabric jaundice?

I'm a bigger guy and these shirts fit thru the chest, arms and stomach area as good as any I can find. I do wish the tall's, which I need, were a little longer though. I find if I am working or up and down a lot the tall doesn't always stay tucked in. The shirt would rate excellent if they were just an inch or inch and a half longer.

Underarm material discolors after a couple of years for those who sweat heavily. I live in south Florida . Summer's are hot and humid .

I'd have to guess that the person that selects the colors for the men's tee is a women. The colors are really sad, butter, plumb, heather this heather that. The gym I go to I don't see men wearing these types of colors. Even the red isn't red. How about a silver, dark and med gray (not heather) maybe a cream color. I love the shirts but the colors suck.
