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

Purchased a medium tall and the sleeves are too short! The body length of the tall is great but the sleeves don't work. It felt like a regular long sleeve shirt, not a tall long sleeve shirt.

This should be exactly the same as others I have ordered XL tall but, instead of being a comfortable loose fit, it is skin tight and accentuates my various unsightly bulges. I checked the label again and again and it is the same as on my other comfortable shirts but the shirt itself is hard to get on and very different to the others.

Fades fast, not really black. Good quality shirt but very expensive and strange color.

I've been buying these shirts for many years and in the past few months, I've noticed that all of the new shirts I have purchased are shrinking. The shrinking is especially bad in the arms. I've had to return several of these and order replacements, but those shrink too. L.L. Bean says that they haven't changed the fabric, but the truth is in the shrinking, so be careful until this issue gets fixed, which I hope is soon.

What a disappointment. I have been buying the same model shirt for years and this new shirt was too tight in the chest before it was washed. I bought the same shirt a few months ago and that shirt was also too tight. All of the old shirts of this model fit me just fine. Now I need to find someplace else to buy quality t shirts.

I have purchased several of these long sleeve tee's from LL Bean over the years. They have always been loose fitting, but these last two are too small! tight fitting and too short overall, especially the sleeves!

I have several & love them but this one shrunk terribly after just one washing. Very disappointing after waiting 3 months for delivery. No way this shirt is a Large.

I'm not sure where they get the idea that this is unshrinkable because after only two washes the large I bought had turned into a medium.

Most Bean shirts are generous in size, both in the chest and sleeves. This shirt is neither: tight in the chest and really chintzy on the sleeves. The sleeves are so tight I am not even exchanging the medium I bought for a large. The design is just plain poor.

Much too large [as is everything at Bean for the past few years]!

supposed to be xl tall. after two washings it is more like lg short. unacceptable.

Shrinks. Returned the first one, they sent a second, that shrunk to. Ended up giving away the shirt.

I've owned these shirts for years. The latest shirts I received DID SHRINK despite washing and drying them on delicate cycles. Will order no more.....

Doesn't Shrink but after a few washes it comes as art at the seams! Poorly made!!! Very surprised they are selling such a cheaply made shirt!!!

I returned the items. Although I order the same items using the item number from the past time I ordered this item, the quality was different. The material on the previously ordered item was heavier and much softer. The material on the items I returned was thinner and not comfortable. I also recently visited an LLBean retail store. Some of these items had the softer material, some had the thinner material. Both had the same item number. I did not buy them because thes store only offered regular and I needed long. I am disappointed that LLBean does not have same consistency in product quality when, in fact, the items are the same item number and are sourced from the same off-shore company.

Very disappointed. I ordered 2 of these for my husband who is in desperate need for LT long sleeve T's and he hates to shop/spend $. One fit, but could have had 1-2 inches longer in length and the other ones sleeves came 2 inches above his wrist bone--so, 1 went back and now he'd rather wear holes in his really old shirts than trying to reorder. His decades old shirts from LLB had better lengths.

After over 35 years of buying from LLBean, this was a huge disappointment. Both of these XL tall shirts were over 2 inches shorter than ANY shirts I've bought in the past. To make things worse, they don't have long sleeve XL Tall shirts that fit me AND we had to pay to return these faulty shirts.

Great tee shirt however the size chart recommended a Medium. As it turns out I'm a large. LL. Baen doesn't care. I bought it I own it.

Have worn these t's for many years, every couple of years I reorder, this year's order my xl tall sleeves are a good 2 to 3 inches shorter than in the past, have to assume the factory just used the wrong pattern, it seems others have found the same issue with the sleeves. Bean should look into this issue ... go measure the sleeves.

I have been buying these shirts for years and always admired the fact that you could wash and dry them and they didn't not shrink. The last two I have bought fit nicely before washing and did not fit after washing. Over length shrunk by about an inch and the sleeves shrunk and became more snug fitting.

Not unshrinkable. The sleeves shrunk on mine on second wash, and I will have to return. It's too bad because otherwise it's an extremely comfortable shirt, soft cotton.

I purchased two XL Men's "Tall" Unshrinkable Long Sleeve Tee w/o Pocket, one black and one white. When my husband tried them on, the sleeves were about 2-3" too short! We've been buying these long sleeve tees for over 2 decades and this has never been the case. And, it wasn't just one, both of the tees, the sleeves were around too short. Would NOT recommend these shirts for Tall men.

I purchased 2 of the unshrinkable t-shirts and they both shrunk, when I tried them on before washing and drying they fit well, after 1 cycle they did not fit well at all. They did shrink. Howard

The shirt feels like it's on backwards and the tall sleeves shrink.

I ordered an XXL and that's what the label on the shirt said. However it fit more like a Large to XL. After 1 wash (cold wash)it definitely shrunk to fit like a large. I've never had that happen before as I've worn these shirts for several years.
