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

I have worn these shirts religiously for years now. They are almost a "uniform" for me. The quality and look is great. Recently, I ordered some new shirts and the material had changed. The shirts pilled and attracted lint like crazy. I am not in favor of these changes.

I bought 3 of these all in the same size and the sizing is extremely inconsistent. One shirt fits great but the other 2 are different lengths and widths.

I have purchased these shirts in white before several times in the past but the last two times they have arrived sort of dingy yellow in color. I didn't send them back because I was short on warm weather clothing after moving south from the northeast. Washing them, even with bleach, did not seem to help. I don't think I would waste money on this item again.

I BOUGHT A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THERE IS AN ORANGE STAIN ONIY

I ordered a "Medium" and it is the size of an "XL" shirt. Clothing needs to fit to be comfortable, and look good. I look like I'm a little kid who stole my dad's work shirt. It doesn't tuck in without making me look like a pumpkin! Ordered a dozen which I now have to throw out, they fit so badly.

This is my second time ordering LL Bean Tshirts, plus other Bean shirts. Good material, neck does not sag. Longer than most T shirts. And look good as an outer shirt.

Good old LL Bean Pocket Tee Shirts have been altered, and not for the better. The shirt no longer loosens up during the day and the Lycra Elastane makes the neck stay tight on me all day. Also, in the Why We Love It description is shows the fabric 100% cotton and the Fabric and Care description shows Ribbed trim is 90% cotton/10% Lycra elastane.

These cotton tees contain HARMFUL PFAS which never go away. LLBean did NOT list in the description.

Tees contain PFAS which are HARMFUL and never go away. LLBean does not list this in the description. I returned.

neck is itchy and tight, shirt does not hold shape after washing, and full of static after drying. Stick with the cotton tees they are great.

I ordered large size and it's slightly larger than I would wish. I do not want to return it and get a medium only to find out that it's smaller than I would wish. I have previously asked for the actual measurements of the large and medium size T-shirts. When I get back is.... Crickets

(2025) 6 of 8 shirts were irregular 1) single side might be curved 2) shoulders don't match 3) bacon strip collars ____ Older years @ too much waterproofing (must wash a few times for a natural feel) ***Only reason to buy is consistent colors*** between purchases shades are the same year to year (unlike other stores where a blue, black might be different even if brand-new)

This was the best T for me for Decades now. The neckband was always so hearty and firm, never flopping wash after wash. But the T I just purchased a week ago now looks like a cheap shirt, the band is wrinkled like my neck. WHY

Crinkle collar after one wash. Washed in warm water and dried on low.

I ordered one shirt to test its sizing. It fit pretty good. I then ordered 5 more. The 5 new ones were significantly larger, almost unwearable. I guess I just have to admit I made a $125 mistake in trusting that quality control still existed with this company.

I've worn these shirts for 15-20 years. Probably bought over a hundred. Maybe more. For the longest time, these were the king of T-Shirts. All I wore. They were perfect. Hefty, not clingy, held their shape and washed well. Fit was spot on perfect. Long lasting. And the executives in charge have ruined it to save pennies. LL Bean, you should be ashamed of yourselves. This is not the work of an icon. Not the work of an institution. This is corporate greed and disregard for customer service. Disregard for repeat business. Disregard for what you once stood for. Complete failure on your part. But you can fix it. Get back to what you did well. Quality. Make your items quality again. Stop feeding executives bellies and get back to making quality products again. Until then, you'll find me at Fils*n or W**lrich. Shame on you.

Unfortunately I just had the opportunity to write this review but the collar on this shirt did not hold up and im currently living with a severe bacon neck t shirt. Very dissapointed!

These shirts are undoubtedly made with polyester and are in no way 100% cotton. I was very suspicious from the initial wash at how the material felt while wet. After several weeks and different models of shirts began raising suspicions I decided to test them out. In the dark with a light shone on them these shirts sparkled all over in a way ONLY plastic would. No cotton in the world reflects in a plastic iridescence. I then went a step further and conducted a burn test on the middle of the material (not the trim or seams). Sure enough the shirt did not burn and ash but melted into tiny plastic balls. L.L.bean is deceiving its customers to save money- they are poisoning our bodies and planet with more plastic for cost efficiency. This is extremely upsetting and I will no longer be buying from a company with such questionable morals.

I'll admit that I haven't purchased a traditional fit unshrinkable tee for about 4 years. The recent purchase isn't traditional: 1.) the length is too long, 2.) the crewneck tight and uncomfortable and, 3.) the material is thin.

I have been buying these tees for many years. However, the material you have been using in recent years is not to my liking. I find the current material too thin and "clingy", especially the heather material. Needless to say, I will not be buying anymore.

One wear, one wash and there is a nice new hole then a smaller one like above.

I've been buying LL Bram Tee shirts for years but these recent ones feel warm to wear in summer. I now notice they don't mention "100% cotton" like on previous orders and I suspect they are synthetic. I'm checking on the 4 tees I ordered and the description does say cotton but the tee shirts themselves have no mention of it - all previous orders do say 100% cotton. I'm reluctant to buy any more tee shirts until I can be sure of what I am getting. DEFINITELY not the same product I have been buying over the years.

the wrinkles are unacceptable. Washed & dried oon delicate cycle.

Weirdly, my husband said this was "too soft." When pressed, he said the fabric was too stretchy and lightweight. I think I understand -- the fabric is not hefty or thick. It's more like undershirt material. We returned this tee.

Shirt contains polyester. It says 100 %cotton. I'm allergic to polyester and it caused a lot of problems.
