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

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.

Received this as a gift and if you're looking for a t-shirt with blended material, this fits the bill. But if you're looking for 100% cotton look somewhere else. This shirt produces more static electricity than my wool sweater. I know that Haynes notes that some colors are blends and not 100% cotton. The color is Rustic Blue.

My husband has always worn LLBean shirts in a Tall Large. I ordered him 2 shirts for Christmas. Sleeves were 3 inches too short and body was not where his older shirts hit his hips. I am VERY disappointed in the quality of LLBean products. Quality control needs to step in and correct this problem. Seems other people have had similar problems. Needless to say they were returned and I will find a different place to order.

The fabric appears to be of an acceptable quality, however, the fit is horrible and not true to size. The large was excessively loose-fitting throughout the arms and simply looks ridiculous. It shrunk disproportionately after one wash per the instructions and now flares out at the hem. Poor design, misleading product description, and dissatisfied customer.

I have worn this t shirt for many years and noticed a lighter weight cotton about a year ago. Just received 3 more of these shirts and the trend has continued. Material is paper thin and unsatisfactory for LL Bean product. I wear lots of LL Bean and really like the quality an value(coats and shirts) but will look elsewhere for t shirts.

Bought two tees for the first time. When they came in I found the navy one is way bigger than the white one. They are both labeled Reg M size though. But looks like the navy one is at least 2 size up than the white one. It should have been caught before it was shipped to the customers. Very poor quality control. Very disappointed.

I ordered this product because it had great reviews. To my surprise, it does not fit, although I chose the correct size and previous purchases of the same size have fit. The sleeves are too short and the overall fit is too loose. I do not recommend it.

As always, the quality is outstanding. However, the sleeve width is ENORMOUS! I could fit my leg in the sleeves.
