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

The only drawback about this shirt is that the neck opening is too large and quickly gets larger with wear. It makes for a very sloppy appearance. The fabric is comfortable and the body fit is otherwise perfect except for the neck opening as I stated previously. Color choices were excellent. Just because a guy wears XL does not mean his head is bigger than a guy who wears a Large.

I have been buying Large Tall t-shirts from LL Bean for many years. This latest purchase is substantially longer (2") than all of my others. I will be returning it. May give the Large Regular a shot, but I'm disappointed that my favorite t-shirt no longer fits me well.

These used to be my favorite T-shirts, I have purchased dozens of them over the years. The last few orders the fabric has changed, it is now a much softer fabric which stretches out throughout the day, they go from fitting fine in the morning but stretch out probably 2 sizes larger by the end of the day. Please bring back the old fabric, even if need to raise the price.

Bought these in a M for my husband who is 5'9" tall. The fit is mostly good except they are long enough to be a mini-dress. Compared to last year and there is a noticeable difference.

These shirts are perfect when you get them (go a size down the mediums are huge) but then they actually do shrink when you wash them (barely, low heat normal procedure); And the collars have some kind of elastic quality to them which is nice at first but then after sometimes even just one wash the collars get ruffled up like bacon because the elastic is shrinking. Perfect fit upon purchase with great fabric quality, excellent cuts and stitching (6'4'' 150lbs) but changes after washing. Ruffled collars are quite a disappointment and ironic considering the price and the high quality in every other area. May have to stop wearing them after only a few washes if it gets worse/can't be fixed. No other shirt I've ever owned has had this problem

I love the thickness of the fabric. I wish the neck didn't make me feel like i'm being strangled by Peter Dinklage all day. It says it's "unshrinkable", i followed the washing instructions, and they shrank just like any other shirt would. Very disappointing. They are sending a replacement thankfully. But they were aware that their "unshrinkable" shirts do in fact shrink. Anyway, the fit could be better, less boxy. But they're very comfy for lounging around or under a sweater etc. Just be aware that they are NOT actually "unshrinkable".

Shirt is quality! However, the cut is not the best for my body type.. I'm tall and athletic. I ordered an XL Tall. The shirt is boxy from shoulders to the waist. Not a flattering fit for me.

Tee shirts aren't bad except for the necks, they don't hold up and start to fray after about 30 - 55 washes and for what you pay for them, Haines is a better deal!

Soft fabric, but bad cut, like something from the 1990s. OK as an undershirt, I suppose, but that's not why I ordered it. It went back to Bean.

I have a lot of these probably almost in every color and I've not dried them but I've also tried drying them and over time regardless of use with a dryer, they ALWAYS get bacon neck after a few washes. It's awful and you look like garbage wearing a shirt like that. It's a shame really.

Not as fine as previous purchases. Sleeve edges not as finished

I've been buying t-shirts from Beans for years because the quality overall is pretty good, except the necks. They always ripple / bacon after just a few washes. Also I'd like to see more military colors like khaki and darker greens.

The shirts are good but not the same as the tshirts i buy at ll bean without the pocket and that is why i tried the pocket type. Their is a thinner feel to them, less body to them. Not worth the higher price unless you need a pocket.

Not a good fit for me in the shoulders. Sleeve length is OK, but sleeves are much "wider" than my other Tees. Causes a baggy look on me.

Love the shirts. Good quality, long lasting, comfortable and fits perfectly. However, the selection of colors needs to be expanded. Brighten up the line .

The quality is very good, and colors were as listed. The only problem is the size. I wear XL t-shirts and they fit well. I ordered XL t-shirts. And the label says XL, but these 4 t-shirts are too large. It's almost as if they should have been labeled as XXL.

The quality of your t shirts is great, washes well, nice fit! Honestly I would but more but your color selection is so sad. Where is a nice beige or linen color? The greens and blues are so primary and now the light blue is out of stock! Please get a new color person as this assortment is terrible!

This shirt would have been a keeper if it had not been for the seams down the sides. That made the shirt irritate the skin along those seams on both sides. It had to be returned. We hope you will consider this quality and weight cotton without those seams ... like other regular T-shirts.

I like the fabric and colors, but the neck is uncomfortably too tight. The sizing was good, except for the neck.

My husband wanted an all cotton tee that was polished enough to wear out for a casual dinner but also good for working in the yard. These have a nice fit and are nice looking, but he says they are unbearably hot to wear outside in the summer. Even though they're 100% cotton, they are not "breathable". And in the lighter colors, as he sweats it really shows. Back in the drawer until summer passes.

I wear large and ordered large but these fit like XL. Also, these tee shirts wrinkle even if I use the permanent press selection. Very disappointed.

Love these tees and been buying them for years. My only complaint is the collars stretch out too quickly and it makes them look shabby.

This shirt fits totally different than the ones I've been buying for my husband over the years. It's way too big! Looks sloppy. What has changed LL Bean? Very disappointing. Have always depended on your great quality.

On the one hand, decent material. On the other hand, the "Medium" shirt is sized large.

This is my favorite shirt. I have found over many years that the fabric changes based on the color of the shirt. While some of the shirts are of a denser heavier quality there are many that are lighter weight and not comparable. My last order of pine green shirts arrived yesterday and I found that the fabric was unacceptable. If you order variable colors you may want to check fabric to fabric.
