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

Fit was great until we washed them and the sleeves shrunk to above the wrist. I'm returning them.

I have owned these shirts in the past, really liked them and decided to get some more. I wear tall sizes and the tall version is not as long as it was in the past. The sleeves are to short.

I"m 6'4" and 180 lbs. I purchased 3 different colors - yellow, purple, and black - all LT. The yellow and purple were sized the same. The black was significantly smaller. Sleeve lengths in all three were not as long as I would expect from tall sizing. XLT would be too baggy for me. I would not purchase again.

Ordered size large. Have worn that size for years. This shirt was huge, twice the width I needed and much wider than older shirts I own.

First time ordering 3 of these and they were all returned. Size large fit my husband's neck and shoulders but there was too much fabric around the chest area and waist. Wasn't a good look and didn't shrink after washing.

They were too big to call them a medium. Sorry I had to give both of them away.

Horrible sizing!!! These Tee shirts were made for a man 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 250 pounds. I am 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 195 pounds. Bean needs to re-think how they describe their products, especially these Tee shirts. Furthermore, they charge $7 to return the items. Never again will I order from this company!!

I found that the neck was too tight. It would be best if the neck opening was larger

Your mediums shirts are no longer mediums. . .they are large. Very disappointed.

Sleeves too Short and too tight at wrists, Neck stretches' out too easily

First time I washed and dried it the collar curdled.

These shirts are a poor shadow of their predecessors, which were made of heavier, harder-wearing material and much better made, especially around the bottom hem and sleeve cuffs. I have 20-year old versions of this shirt I would much rather wear than these newer, cheaply made versions. L.L. Bean used to be renowned for product quality, but no more. It has succumbed to sacrificing quality for the bottom line, and now the company's goods are no better than any other online vendor. But I would pay more for better. I'll bet others would too. I bought these shirts because Bean offers tall sizes. But when I find another company that also offers them, I'll probably never buy another.

Tall, large. Sleeves too short. Hit and miss with tall, large items.

Did not like the fit. The sizing was misleading! I washed the shirts and the fit was still not good.

Old LL Bean tee's had great quality. After one wash, this tee puckers by the collar.

These long sleeve shirts were great until the recent order. The forearms on both shirts are now much narrower. Very Strange looking. LL Bean, please change these back. These are not recommended.

I purchased 4 of these shirts in November 2020 and at the end of January 2021, after wearing around the house, the seams are splitting on the arms and wrists. Unfortunate because I really like the cut and fit, but the quality is just poor on the stitching.

Aside from the obvious size is way too large, literally order a size down. In addition, the length and fit is just big even in the right size (I ordered a Large and a Med). WORSE ..... is the quality of the material. It has no body, is very silky, and hangs like a wet plastic bag. This creates a very frumpy look unless you wear it skin tight. The material feels thin, honestly this feels like wholesale club quality. NOT what I expected from LL Bean at all. All in all, I will NOT be exchanging this, it will be a straight return to find another product.

I LOVE the materials, designs and craftsmanship of LL Bean clothes, so why can't they design something I can wear? I've purchased and returned most of shirts/jackets over the years (call it the triumph of hope over experience) because they are so large. How do they grow people in Maine? The men must eat a moose a day for breakfast. I'm average height, weight and build, but the pullovers that I bought hung like nightshirts and I could have fit another person in them with me (an exaggeration, but they were easily too big by a third). I only reluctantly buy what I need from other sources now.

Purchased 3 shirts last winter. Loved the material! Colors were great! However, sleeve length on all 3 were way too short for a large size. Also, body was too baggy. I tried stretching sleeves to appropriate lengths but ended up ripping material. Very frustrating considering the cotton was so comfortable.

Two months ago bought 1 Heather Blue T Shirt (TC224603). Was very pleased with soft material and color. In January reordered 2 of same T shirt. The second order was not available but on backorder. In early February received the backordered T shirts. The color shade of the blue T shirt was not the same - instead of a soft, paisley blue the color was a darker blue. Worse, the look and feel of the material was "harder". Both shirts are marked the same on the printed inside description of the shirts. The invoices on file, however, say the first shirt I liked was a "Bayside Blue" while the 2 shirts I received from the backorder were marked "Delta Blue". In short, the quality control and differences between the second order which I was unhappy with but kept has left me with a poor impression of LLBean's product and production controls. To place a duplicate order for something and then to receive a vastly different product in look and feel is really not acceptable. Next time I will return my order. The reason I did not notice the difference in look and feel was my first order was at the laundry when I received the second order. The fact that the shirt was not available when I tried to reorder it in early January was a big disappointment, too. Having to wait a month was annoying but on top of that receiving something different than what I was expecting (look and feel) was over the top.

I ordered the TALL version but it is not tall. Colors are beautiful and fabric is soft. But very disappointed in sleeve length and shirt length. This is my first major disappointment in LLBean

I ordered a tall. Sleeves are normal length and so is the shirt length. Not a tall shirt at all. Returning

The material is very comfort, yet the neck area was quickly become wrinkled after a few machine wash, which looks like a wearing down clothes. Very disappointment about its quality. I also bought Pima tee short, which doesn't have this issue at all, and is very comfortable. But unfortunately it cannot be found any more on the web site. sigh...

Ordered three of these shirts for my husband and just as other customers have said, the sleeves are several inches too short and the body of the shirt is shorter than the ones I ordered in the past and its not just these tee shirts it's the button down shirts as well. Ended up returning all of them. I can buy this fit at any local store for half the price or less. LLBean has free shipping but it cost me a lot to have to keep returning because of their increasingly poor/cheaper manufacturing. They already lost me as a customer long ago because they are making the women's tops using thinner material and too fitted, now I'll have to shop elsewhere from now on for my husband's clothes as well.
