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

After only the second wash the bacon neck appears. Otherwise not a bad shirt, but this neck rolling makes it look five years old already. Fits well. XLT - 6'5" 250lbs

Increasingly sub-standard LLB quality. I've purchased dozens of these shirts. Quality continues to sink. Lately sizing is off for XL, Too long, too big. Must be using different patterns. Also quality of material getting lower and lower. I'd pay more for better quality. Returning the 3 I just purchased.

The collars on these have wrinkled after first wash and do stay tight, makes them look cheap, stretched out, worn and shabby.

Great quality tea shirts at a very reasonable price. Good choice of colors too.

The shirt material is nice and looks good. BUT the neck stretches out and looks terrible. It doesn't keep its shape at all. We haven't even had it a year!

Over all built solid, but after two years all the necks stretch out and become very misshapen. The rest of the t-shirt is fine. I have 10-12 of these t-shirts that I rotate through for work each week. I realize it's just a t-shirt, but these are not cheap to begin with!! I guess I should just continue buying t-shirts at the Army-Navy Surplus place.

These shirts get bacon collar after one wash/dry. Other than that they are are good quality. If the bacon collar issue if fixed they would be 5 stars.

We've been buying these tees for years and they have always been true to size. This order, however, was 2" longer and 1" wider than the last time. Men's regular large. Husband can fit into it nicely (he wears XL) so we're keeping them.

These t- shirts do not seem to breathe like the other 100% cotton t-shirts that I have.

Bought two XL t-shirts, one in blue and one in maroon. Blue fit great, but maroon was tight. Fit as maybe a large not extra large. Preparing to return the maroon t-shirt for another.

This T shirt runs big. I wear a medium, but this is larger. I should have ordered a small! Nice color, but disappointed with the sizing

I really wanted to like LL Bean's t-shirts, unfortunately they didn't meet expectations. The cut is very boxy, after only one wash the collar takes on the dreaded "bacon neck" shape and the shirt isn't very wrinkle resistant. I expected much more from this product.

I've ordered a number of these over the years and my problem is that they are inconsistent in fit and weight of fabric. Some of the shirts I purchased years ago seem made of heavier weight fabric and managed to keep their shape over a long period. My later purchases appear to be made of a lighter fabric and don't seem to keep their shape anywhere near as well. The seams around the neck also have lost their stiffness and have begun to curl. I always expected LLBean quality to be a hallmark of the brand; certainly not anymore with these Tees.

The neckbands are still not as good as some $10 t-shirts. The neckbands stretch and start wrinkling after one wash. If LLBean would fix this problem, they would be great t-shirts. You can look up my previous purchase of T-shirts. I was hoping these new ones would be better, but I was disappointed.

There seems to be some design flaw with these shirts. Several of the ones I ordered have wavy collars after wearing them for a few months. These are quite expensive for that sort of defect. It's disappointing because I like the colors and feel of the shirts otherwise.

Long time LLBean customer, both shirts and jackets. In nearly everything I've bought, a medium fit just right, except for one winter jacket I bought in a large and had the sleeves shortened just a bit. This t-shirt was so baggy, hanging like a trash bag. My build is athletic, definitely not a string bean, so I was surprised how loose this was in the chest and arms. This seemed more like an XL to me. Worse part of the deal- for a pricey t-shirt, you have 6.50 deducted when you send it back.

Buying your t-shirts for years , love them but the last white shirt I bought was not the same, the material was thinner and the shirt was smaller than the other 2x shirts I have bought. Called and talked to a representative but they couldn't help. Ordered two other shirts same order , they were fine.

I love the way these tshirts fit. The material is just the right thickness to be of good quality. I bought four colors. Two of the colors were great but two were a little bright for my taste but Ll Bean was great and made it easy to exchange them for different colors.

Shirt is cut for box people

They are too hot for the summer, they do not breathe. Dry on the outside,soaking wet next to your skin .You cannot do any kind of exertion wearing these shirts

I've purchased a number of these T-Shirts over the years, usually 5 or 6 at a time. This batch just wasn't up to your usual high standards. In fact, I'm always so pleased with your products, I don't even keep the return paperwork or packaging, because I have never felt it necessary to return anything. I don't know if your supplier has changed, or your QC standards have slipped. Regardless, If I had the opportunity to return one of them, I would. Sorry, just not what I expected.

I was excited to get four of these t-shirts. The colors look fantastic and the quality of the shirt itself is wonderful. Unfortunately, the sizing is rather bizarre. I ordered Mediums and they were the same size as other brands' Large t-shirts! I exchanged for smalls but those were...actually "Small". It appears there is no actual LL Bean medium now, which is disappointing. Two stars for great colors and quality. But the sizing issue is really depressing. Had to return them for a refund and pay twice to restock. It happens.

The shirt was much bigger than I anticipated. I normally wear an Xxl but lost some weight and so I purchased a XL and it is like a tent. Not a fan.

Totally love, love, love this color. I call it Summer Breeze. I studied the True to Size and went with a medium size. Sadly, it's a bit too big. However, it is incredibly soft and comfortable, but short sleeves a bit long. Still very comfortable and sadly for me, it really doesn't shrink, which is how it's supposed to be.

I bought one of these T-shirts about 3 years ago and liked it very much, so I purchased a new one. Unfortunately, the quality of these shirts has tanked. The material is great, but it's now cut like a circus tent and the left and right side seems are not lined up, so the fit is asymmetrical. Fine for selling as a poorly made factory second, but not the first-class product LL Bean use to sell.
