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

I have bought these shirts in this size numerous times in the past but these are incredibly oversized. In this case I would root for some shrinkage!

Comfortable,good fit but after a few washes the collar loses its shape

Spent a little extra money on this shirt as the collar on similar shirts from other stores would wrinkle up like bacon after a few washes. Same thing happened with this shirt. After just a few washes on delicate/low heat dry, collar is wrinkled. Unfortunately I usually wear it under other shirts so the collar is the only thing that shows. Sleeves also seem kind of big around bicep/chest area so unless you have massive guns, this shirt may feel a little baggy.

The shirt is way too large for my trim husband. It is way too wide and loose on him.

I bought this long sleeve tee in grey and blue and loved them, so I decided to order one in green. The second time wearing the green shirt I accidentally dribbled some sauce on it while eating a burger. When I got home I sprayed a little Shout stain remover on it then tossed it in to wash. When it came out it had a noticeable color fade on the chest, so much so that I can't wear it out of the house. I've used the same Shout on other items without incident so clearly the fade is the result of the poor color quality of the shirt fabric. I'm very disappointed since I love this t-shirt in other colors.

Comfortable but huge. The shirt is comfortable but buy yourself a size smaller than you actually wear.

The men's medium was way too big, bigger than other items I've bought in men's medium.

I wore it three times and the bottom hemline unraveled.

I bought these shirts previously and was happy with them, so I order replacements when they wore out. I ordered the same size and same shirt, but this time they are too large and the purple bled in the wash and ruined the white shirt I had bought from you in this order. So, I not exactly happy. I've been an LL Bean customer for years and never experienced anything like this. Sadly, I'll have to think twice about buying from you again.

The material is quality enough but the fit is stupid. A medium swallows me. It balloons like a caftan. For some reason the cuff is the only thing that is small, giving the huge sleeves a puffy shirt look. Ugh!

I've been very happy with LLBean SS T-shirts, and tried this one in same size M. It is big and long, very long. I'm 5'9 and it goes to mid-thigh. Untucked, there is 3" sticking out from jackets. Too bad there is not some consistency in size M in the same brand.

I wonder if LL Bean actually tries the clothing themselves? The arms are way too big. If you have Hulk arms maybe this will fit. For the other 99%, way to big.

The shirt is made of nice material, but the fit is atrocious. Not only is there no tapering at the waist/hips, the shirt actually gets wider towards the waist/hip area! It is like wearing a tent...If you are a medium size guy and even just a little athletic/in-shape, you will not be happy with the fit.

Ordered the same size as I always do, small regular, too big. The navy blue appears to be.made different then the blue and grey I ordered. I kept the shirts as I needed them. Will no order more.

Doesn't fit as well as other T's I've purchased from Bean. Color is also darker than advertised.

Inconsistent sizing. Sleeve lengths vary, length varies, chest and shoulder fit vary considerably. Perhaps sizes were applied incorrectly. Disappointing.

Collar doesn't stay firm. Even after the first time I wore.

These shirts are miss-leading. They do shrink. Though soft, they shrunk in both length and width. So, if you want something that you expect to not shrink, these are not the shirts unless you order a larger size.

I'm a sort of slender 6'1" but after washing the Large Tall shirts were not long enough in the sleeves. I intend to send them back.

Have purchased 6-8 of these shirts over the years. Had to return this one. Cotton not nearly as smooth. Shirt fit much smaller than previously purchased even though I bought exact same size and fit. Not happy with quality.

Too thin and short for my husband. Had to get tall but too small.

Fit great before washing, a little loose. Purchased because we of 'easy care unshrinkable.' That is not true and it shrunk, mostly in the sleeves. This is the first LL Bean item that we have ever been disappointed in. Put a two stars because the color is really nice and a unique, deep blue.

These shirts shrink. The large size fit perfectly out of the bag, but it shrank noticeably in the first wash - especially in the sleeves.

Having purchased many LL Bean shirts this is by far the worst. It's described as carefree and unshrinkable. I purchased the T shirt XL Tall like I do all my T's. After the first wash in Cold water and a low dry the sleeves were half way up my arm. I couldn't believe that was even possible. Needless to say I will be rethinking my T shirt purchases from the Bean. So now I'm stuck with a purchase I can't wear.

When I received these, they seemed to big around the waste and in the sleeves. I considered returning the large size for a medium. After a few washes, the sleeves are tight and a bit short. These definitely shrink! The were washed in warm water in a dryer that takes forever, so pretty low heat.
