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

Unlike the rest of the shirt, the collar ribbing is very low quality and doesn't hold up well at all. It quickly loses its shape and becomes unwearable in public. I keep replacing them but at this point it's time to find another brand.

This tee shirt is the worst tee I have ever bought. The sleeves are giagantic in both width and length. You could easily fit one of my legs in it. And LL Bean claims this tee would not shrink??? I measured the length pre wash and then post wash in warm water. Shirt shrank 1.5 inch in length. So much for their claim of being unshrinkable.

I have one of these unshrinkable tee's from Sri Lanka. It's super comfortable and feels very high quality. I got excited and ordered 5 more directly from L.L. Bean. However, when I tried them on, the fit was entirely different and the fabric quality as MUCH lower than my original t-shirt. I'm returning all of them.

poor quality. stretched collars. just didn't look good

It's hard to find 100% cotton tees these days. LL Bean's have been my go-to for years, but the quality has changed. Usually, I wear a lge., but now that size is ridiculous in the neck, arms, and waist (for me, who's fairly slim still). Bean has been increased their "slim" and "slightly fitted" versions of clothes. I think many of us would appreciate that option in these once-great t-shirts.

returned. didn't like pockets. bought too many other shirts

I brought three large T-shirts but these t-shirt were much bigger then the ones I've brought in the past. They look and wore like extra large t-shirt. I took an old one laid it on top the the new one and it was clearly larger then the older one. So I do not know if this is the new normal to make men feel like their not getting fatter by making them think they're getting a large shirt but instead are getting an extra large one. Since I have washed and worn them and don't want to go through the hassle of returning them I will take the loss and will just buy middles shirts now.

This shirt runs extremely large. Size medium fit like an extra large.

Wore these shirts for years. Wear as primary shirt in summer and as undershirt in winter. Wear really well and last, have been purchasing these for years. Always ordered same traditional fit medium for perfect fit. Latest order of shirts were much larger than previously sent. I will only be able to wear these as undershirts as they are so baggy. Very disappointed and will be afraid to order in the future. Maybe Bean customers are getting fatter, and they are trying to accommodate.

I know this to be a very nice shirt from previous purchases. They start to fray way too soon but not as soon as LLBean's trolling for new credit card purchases to get a "for sale" price.. Why don't you honestly put them on sale, rather than only on sale if it's on YOUR credit card?

Like the color(s). Size - Medium was way too big for 5'8" & 150 lb - runner.

Typical Bean problem. Put products on sale, and then have NO stock to choose from?!?! Also 6-8 weeks before Christmas and youre sold out?? Whos doing the ordering for this company? Year after year after year!

I've bought these T's for many years and was very happy. I recently purchased three more, and apparently LLBean has switched suppliers. I have always purchased a Large Regular which was perfect. The 3 new ones are way too big and very sloppy. They are almost like an XL And the fabric weight seems to be slightly lower, and the collar detail has degraded. I threw them all in the washer before wearing, so I am probably out $75 plus shipping. If you liked the old LL Bean Unshrinkable Tees and purchase them now, you have been warned.

After about 10 washings the stitching on the pocket is showing through. This is going back and I'm not buying these Tee shirts anymore. They have changed the fabric on these Tee shirts and I don't care for the change. I have older LL BEAN Tee shirts with the pocket that have been washed hundreds of times without any issue like this. I just "love" the marketing that LL BEAN used in an email I just received regarding these exact same Tee shirts: "Unshrinkable, Fade-Resistant Tees We've tested and retested these cotton tees in our labs, so you can depend on them season after season." I suppose if they tested these Tee shirts by actually washing them, that they would have noticed this issue.

It can't be a large! LLBean I suppose has modified their sizing to meet a growing American public. I've worn large for 30 years, this is more like a dress

I've purchased several of these shirts in the past, but the quality of these last two is substandard. Much thinner and stretchier than what I was expecting. Won't be purchasing any more of these any time soon.

I have 6 or 7 of these shirts. I like them very much. I ordered the Mist Blue and it is "paper tissue" thin. It wrinkles so easily even after ironing the shirt. Terrible quality all around. Returning.

I never wore these tshirts because the collars stretched and curled after the first laundering (I always launder new clothing before wearing it).

Tore in washer on first washing. Perhaps it was the washer, one I had not used before

Been buying these for years. It seems the new tees are much larger and poor quality

Too large and flimsy fabric. Been buying these tees for years, seems the new ones are much larger and poor quality

Agree with the reviews calling out the chemical treatment. It really does feel like wearing a plastic bag, especially when the weather is warm and humid. I want to buy different LL Bean t-shirts that do not have this chemical treatment but the fabric descriptions don't say which ones have been treated in this manner so it's tricky.

After a few washings the seems around the neck puckerd. Looks like I slept in it

Worst t-shirts ever. Light weight and a far cry from tall fit. Quality of ll bean has fallen way down over the years. I will stop shopping from them from now on. I was so disappointed in the whole experience. Considering the quality has dropped and the price hasnt, shows me they no longer care about customers. Ive bought from them for years but ive had enough.

The neck is tight and everywhere else is really baggy. Sadly, have to return it and will not get the shipping fee refunded. Total loss.
