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

The shirt fit a little tighter than my other XL t Shirt.

I haven't worn all of the shirts yet but the 2 that I have are very nice. The fit is good, the neck is especially good as long as it does not stretch like other shirts I have bought. They have only been washed once so I should really be doing this review in a few months to give a fair report.

Great quality but big for its size. Clearly made for large guys. Almost no options for slightly fitted when I visited the LL Bean store.

This is a fantastic undershirt, really helpful in cold conditions.

Excellent fit and color and an excellent thickness/quality of the material

I like the shirt but it was a bit heavier than I expected. I wish LL B would offer two weights in this tee.

It seems that these tees run large. At 5'9" and 150 lbs., I have to wear it as an outer garment. I'm not sure if a small would be better.

The shirt is very well made, of heavy fabric that's so hard to find these days. I would give it five stars if not for small wristbands that make the sleeves hard to pull away from a dirty job. That issue, however, might be mine alone.

Sleeves are too tight, but overall measurements for Medium and Large have been "biggy-sized." Perhaps this reflects your customer base but is not useful to me.

So comfy, great quality. Fits a little loose but that's ok.

Nice shirt A little bigger than it used to be but still comfortable

These shirts are high quality, although, I have not washed them yet. The problem is their sizing. I wear an XL in every brand of clothing- except L.L. Bean. Ordering an XL, the shirts were humongous, so I had to return them for L size. I'm not sure why their sizing is so different than all other brands.

I ordered a medium to wear as an oversized shirt with leggings (female, 5'5", 140lbs). It fits perfectly and is very soft. The sleeves were baggy at first but most definitely shrunk to fit me perfectly in the arms.

Not for me. The shirt itself was too big and the sleeves were a little short which mixed me getting a smaller size. The return was easy!!

The bright color did not bleed on first wash. It stayed the same size, but I took a star off because, the material below the collar stated to wrinkle up a little after just 1 wash.

I would have given this tee shirt five stars, but the sizing is so huge. I ordered the small but had to give it away to a relative who is normally a medium. L.L. Bean should specify "oversized" on items that are not traditional fit. The quality of the tee is fine.

The wristbands are a little tight and shrink a little

Lovely color! Since I can't find a short-sleeve or long-sleeve t-shirt with a crew neck in LLBean women's sizes (the necks labeled as 'crew' in women's are too wide to be crew - men's t-shirts have the authentic crew neck), I'm reduced to buying men's small and drying them on high heat. The length shrinks just a bit, leaving the shirt kind of a tunic length, which is fine with me!

Comfortable, high-quality fabric. Initially ordered a large regular because the L.L. Bean person on the phone suggested that size based on my dress shirt measurements: 15 1/2" neck, 35" sleeve. That shirt fit reasonably well, with the sleeves being barely long enough. After washing, however, the sleeves shrank 1 inch and were too short. I exchanged it for a large tall, which, after washing, shrank 1 inch and again, fits reasonably well, with the sleeves being barely long enough. It's acceptable and the fabric tends to stretch with wearing, but an additional half inch in the sleeve would be better. For a large tall size, it's interesting that the sleeves are still a little short. I think you should make them longer. Returning and exchanging it were easy and the shipping was free because of the L.L. Bean credit card.

Great quality - 'thick' cotton material - good fit - no shrink - color retained - very little wrinkling when removed from dryer promptly. Thank you for 'building' this fine long sleeve tee shirt. Jim H

Fits a little looser than previous ones I've purchased.

This is a soft, slightly stretchy T. I like the color. I'm 6'8" and the Large Tall fits pretty well, though I wish the sleeves were an inch longer for my 37" sleeve length. As usual, I don't expect any shrinkage or pilling, as with my dozens of other LL Bean Ts and polos.

Good quality product. No complaints and fit as expected

I recently bought two M-reg size Unshrinakble T-shirts. One fits fine, however the other is cut much tighter in the sleeves, but not quite to the point that I am sending it back.

I own at least a dozen various types of Bean shirts - tees, overshirts, flannels, chambrays, etc. and I am a medium in every single men's shirt except this one. Not only did it shrink, but it isn't stretchy so you can't stretch it back out. Sure, you can pull on it some, but it won't stay there. Within a few minutes it has sprung back to shrunken and too small. I tried hanging to dry and stretching it then, but no go. This just isn't normal t-shirt material. Not that it isn't nice, it's good quality, but I don't have any others tees that shrink like this and then refuse to stretch back out. I suppose I'll try a Large since I really need this color to go with my teal-colored Bean shirts. But shirts that shrink like this should be sized to allow it. And probably not be called unshrinkable.
