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

Great well made shirt. Great material. However the neck is uncomfortable. I think it is because the elastic is quite thick and prominent and I feel it. Because of that I do not like wearing this shirt.

I ordered 4 of these shirts, and they all fit great. I agree with some reviewers that the necks are just a smidgen too tight. I would give these shirts a 5 * review if it were not for the fact that the Mustard color, which I had to wait for for a significant time, came with a blue ink dot on the front pocket. I could tell that it came from the little round size sticker they put on the front pocket. I put stain remover on it, and washed it, but it is in the fabric. Disappointing.

They (bought five) look great out of the package; wear great out of the package; have worn only two. Have laundered those two. Gray held up well. White waffled at the collar right away. Bummer.

I traditionally purchase XL for extra length, but this time I purchased a large. I'm glad that I did because it fits larger than most XL shirts I own

Disappointed in quality given the price and expectation - this shirt is the equivalent of basic white cotton undershirts. It's ok for working in the yard, fit is ok and the advertised unshrinkable claim panned out. Still I would not buy again.

I like these t-shirts my only complaint is the lack of consistency in the size. I have been ordering these t-shirts for more years then I can remember. No two ever fit the same. Example: my dark grey ss shirt is a little short in length. The light grey were fine. The white were both great, crew and b neck. My green v neck is on the small size overall. Navy, black both good. Two LS greys are different lengths, bought a few week apart. Like I said. Lack of consistency.

The t-shirts fit well and look nice when you first receive them. However, after wearing and washing for a year the neck starts looking like fried bacon. Also, the white t-shirts start looking off-white pretty quickly.

Of any extra large shirt I ever bought, this one has the smallest neck opening ever. It fits too tight against my throat. Extra large I my right size, my neck is only 17", so I have no idea why this is cut differently around the neck. The rest - shoulders, waist, etc is perfect. The material is great, nice cotton, not too heavy and definitely not thin. I might try an XXL, but I think it would be too big everywhere else. I didn't see a V-neck WITH a pocket, which is a must for me.

I ordered the shirts based on the description as to size. They significantly larger than anticipated based on the offered size carts.

The price is now WAY too high even when on "sale".

FIT OK, COLLARS LOSE SHAPE, THREAD IN COLLAR IRRITATES

The quality is great and fit is right on but the color "Clover" that I received is not the color used in the description on the website. Disappointing as i had ordered 2 of this color as I had thought the advertised color was just what I was looking for!

We've probably purchased 20 t-shirts over the years from LL Bean. We joke that these are my husband's "dress T-shirts" - until they get too old and then they're work shirts. Almost all of the t-shirts we've purchased wear like iron and keep their shape regardless of the number of wearings, washings, and ironings. However, this one particular t-shirt has become "warped". It is like cheap t-shirts in that the front and back no longer align. The green and blue t-shirts were both purchased at the same time. You can see from the pictures that the green one appears to have been cut on the bias in that the side seams are no longer in alignment. The blue one is still perfectly in alignment. This is what we've come to expect of an LL Bean t-shirt. I've tried to indicate the problem areas with red rectangles or, in the case of the blue one, how nice it still looks. I'm not looking for a credit although a replacement t-shirt would be wonderful. I just wanted to let you know that somewhere along the line something didn't go correctly to hold up LL Bean's legacy.

I bought 3 Unshrinkable tee-shirts to use with pajama pants. These replaced some older models whose necks finally started to wear out after 20 years. For some reason or other, I think I remember the tee-shirt side seams as folded, taped and double seamed. The new version are cheaply serged together. On the plus side, the price has not increased significantly, so I remain neutral about the product. Although I would not recommend them, this again, is merely my being cautious

We purchased 3 shirts. Followed laundry directions carefully. The black shirt shrank so much that moving his arms exposes his belly, even though we bought the extra tall size.

These are the best t-shirts ever except for one thing; the neck gets all wrinkled and stretched out. Older ones were not like this. Don't know why this happens.

Very nice and comfortable shirt. Just don't wear it outside and work when it's hot. Doesn't absorb the sweat, figured it would being 100% cotton.

It's the color. I am disappointed. I ordered this same shirt in Delta Blue before and it was more turquoise. This one is sky blue.

This fabric is no Pima cotton. It pills, even after multiple washings, and would look much better if ironed. The shirts are beginning to have a yellow cast, but directions say they shouldn't be bleached. The neck holds its shape and the shirt is well made. The problem is the fabric.

My husband has been looking for good 100 percent tee's like from years ago. These come close but they still do not hold the shape like they used to. They do not seem to be 100 percent and they just don't always look neat.

These T's last a long time and hold their color very well BUT it takes too long to get them out the door and then too many days to get me.

I bought three of these tees; one was on back order which was OK. I started wearing the two that came, and they are indeed a good fit (although the neck hole is a little small). The overall construction is top notch. But ... The fabric is 100% cotton, but it is not "breathable". In fact, it made me sweat a little. On top of that, I noticed that when I spilled a drop of water on it,the drop just beaded up and didn't soak in like you'd think it would on an all-cotton garment. Maybe there's a chemical treatment that 's used to make it unshrinkable, that causes this phenomenon. I returned the two shirts and cancelled the back order.

The Cayenne was not accurate compared to what was shown on line. It was darker and redder.. otherwise the shirt was of good quality.

I've bought these over the years and really liked them. This is the first time the neckline didn't stay flat but curled up with wear.

Long time buyer who just purchased some new wrinkle free tee's and was disappointed to find my new tees feel lighter than my old ones and the crew neck does wrinkle....
