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

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.

Like most taller people, my arm span is slightly loner than my height. The torso length is perfect, but the sleeves are at least 2 inches (50mm) too short, and got shorter after washing it. I'm disappointed with this, as it is no better than the shirts available at the local discount chain stores. I expected a better fit, and quality from L.L. Bean, I would not recommend this to anyone.

Bring back Regular Fit. Don't expect shirt to fit like before. Bagging all over like a potato sack. A smaller size would not fit in the shoulders.

Balloon sleeves! Great quality material and nice everywhere except the sleeves. they are cut large and are very baggie compared to the nice fit of the rest of the shirt. Seems out of proportion. They looked ridiculous and we are returning the shirts.

If you wear regular or slim fit shirts, this T-shirt is NOT for you. Though I matched the measurements in the sizing table, the actual T-shirt fit like a trash baghuge torso and very baggy sleeves. Then adding insult to injury, I had to pay shipping to return the item.

Bag was labeled tall, however shirt was a regular.

The quality of the shirt is decent, but after one wash it shrunk so much that it no longer fits. I am disappointed we paid for the Tall for it to only fit before it was washed.

Overall good fit and material although material not as nice as the mock turtle necks

Ordered this shirt in the heather gray and dark gray in the Spring in the large and loved them -long enough not to pull out of my husband's pants when tucked in. Just ordered the dark green and the dark port in the large and they were way too short and the sleeves were impossibly long. What's going on Bean?? These are going back and not sure what size to reorder now.

Shirt quality was excellent however sizing was off. The shirt was much too big all around, returned.

This is considered a tall, but without the cuffs, the sleeve length isn't long enough. The cuff should come down lower on the arm. I don't trust "Unshrinkable" in the product name.

Always wear an xl, this fits like a large. Very odd fit, short in body and sleeve length. I`m 5-11, 185 lbs. Dissapointed would not order again or recommend.

Tried a L and an XL in an effort to get this to fit. Even with the XL, the sleeves are about an inch shorter than I'm used to. I suppose you could try a "tall", but I'm just going to use this as a work shirt. I never buy talls 'cause the proportions are usually look pretty bizarre.

Really nice fabric, but oddly loose at the waist (as has become the norm with LLBean shirts) and with slightly short sleeve length. Wrist elastic is strong, but almost to strong to push up sleeves.

Nice tee shirt but both sleeves are permanently twisted at the knitted cuff. Can't be fixed and should have been caught by the manufacturer.

Looks like you took away the pocket. Hope that doesn't last. Loved these with a pocket. 5 stars with a pocket.

Above average

Not true to the advertising, shrinks a little

I own several of these long sleeve tees, and there is alot to like. However, they do have an annoying design flaw, in that they show rapid deterioration in the cuff, where it attaches to the sleeve. Many holes and tears begin appearing right along the sew line. The shirts are nice right away, but will wear out much sooner than the other quality tees on the market.

I felt the material was heavy, but a bit rough. Great if your planning a day of outdoor hiking up some mountain - not so great if you are wearing it to hang out at home. The size fits a bit baggy, I wish the material was softer. Think "potato sack" and you are halfway there. Not what I would consider a high-quality item.

This shirt is a relaxed fit. Way relaxed. Not "Traditional " unless LL Bean's traditional customers is 6 feet tall 225 pounds I sent it back. With tags on. I got $20 back. I paid $54 So I'll not be back to LL Bean

Here is a problem I am finding in the clothing industry. As more people gain weight, XXL shirts are becoming too large in the waist. These shirts fit in the shoulders but are maternity shirts at the waist. I had to return all of the shirts I bought. This was not an issue years ago, but nowadays, it seems to be the standard. Unless you have a seamstress in the house, I'd pass on these shirts.
