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

It's hard to be critical of this item but, in my opinion, they are sized way too big.

These are very nice shirts that tend to run almost a full size large. I bought size large and think a medium would fit. Be aware that the color is not coal black, but rather more of a charcoal.

As advertised, good quality, good fit, good colors

This is a nice, soft and well-made t-shirt. Stains aren't prominent and seem to come out easily. However, these do shrink. Unsure how others have been able to wash & dry without shrinking "up." The length of sleeves is ok, but the length of the shirt overall seems to have come up approx. 2 inches after about 5-6 washes. So, if length isn't a real concern at first, imagine it with a couple of less inches. Overall, will buy again but will go for tall if the length will change that much,

Long-sleeve tee shirt (white and gray) without pocket fits well with ample sleeve length for medium to long arms (33"-35"). Manufactured in Vietnam. Care tag doesn't have English care text; French & asian.

Neck a little tight- (I'm a thin guy). But nice on the sleeves as they can be pushed up. Sometimes you just need a long sleeve tee.

Very comfortable Tee Shirt. It did not shrink during initial wash and it retained its color well. One of my favorite Tee's for the weekends. I do wish it was made with a little thicker material and the sleeves were more loose fitting. Overall, I'm pleased with this shirt.

Only reason I gave it 4 stars is that the cotton is stretchy so it must have some polymers in it. Makes it static'y compared to normal 100% cotton. Fits true to size.

somebody gives me an answer, please! as for TA224603-unshrinkable shirts, I have been happy with V-neck style over a couple of decades because with V-neck, nothing squeezes my neck and can breathe easily. can anybody tell me why you stopped offering V-neck and about when you will start offering V-neck again? I hope I am not the only one who wants V-neck.

Worn and washed twice,not much ironing to make wearable. so far so good

Husband bought this L/S shirt in heather great and navy. Very good shirt, fits true to size. Seem like quality-stitched shirts, and should last a good amount of time. Only four stars bc it's advertised as "unshrinkable," and the very first time out of the wash, it shrunk. Length was reduced by about an inch. Not a big deal. I had high hopes, but realistic expectations with these cotton shirts. This might not be a problem for some, but now my husband feels they are juuuust a bit shorter than he'd personally prefer. The grey shrunk more than the navy. Sleeves, shoulders, etc all fit better actually. Maybe we should order a "Tall" next time, but something to take into consideration!

I have bought many of these long sleeved teeshirts over the past few years and I keep hoping that they will eventually be made with longer arm length. The arm length is about one cuff length (2.5") too short. The fit and fabric quality are great and that's why I continue to buy them despite the above mentioned flaw.

This is a nice long sleeve, heavy weight tee. It runs very large and has a very baggy fit on me.

My husband likes this shirt so far. The neck and sleeves have not stretched out, which is a pet peeve of his.

I ordered one of these shirts a number of years ago (it's worn with age). I ordered the same size as my initial purchase. The new ones are great material wise, but they are huge. I ordered an XL and actually it is too big, but I can make do by layering it.

Have almost all colors and for the most love them. One exception I noticed is that the lighter blue one does not launder as well as the other colors for some reason. It comes our wrinkled.

The store only had medium and large in this style and color. L. L. Bean has good quality, long lasting items. They tend to run on the larger side though. I did have the medium sized shirt shortened by a local alteration/dry cleaner.

I bought two of these long sleeve unshrinkable tees in the same size, different colors. The grey shirt in particular has very tight sleeves around the wrist and neck hole, and the shirt is an inch longer than the blue color. The sleeves and neckline fit like a normal shirt. For the cost you would think the sizing would be more consistent. The quality of the material is nice.

Color is great. Washed it before my husband has worn it. Neckline gathered. Not happy with it. Waiting for my husband to complain.

Nice shirt but shrank a bit making it less comfortable

I found the shirt to be made with a rubberized cotton instead of just cotton. Has a strange feel

My husband wears a medium tall. The length and chest fit were perfect, but the sleeves were a problem. The top of the sleeve was roomy, but the bottom was so tight he could barely get his hands through. His arms and wrists are average for his height, so the cut just seemed off. Unfortunately, I had to return these shirts and will keep looking for a style that fits properly.

Rich color, soft, true to size, quality material they hold shape and don't shrink.

size was larger than previous orders. kinda hangs off of me.

I bought 2 of the Carefree Unshrinkable Long-sleeved Tees & 2 of the Henleys. First the good: The colors are very nice. The quality of the shirt is excellent, as I've come to expect from L.L. Bean. Now the bad: The fit is terrible. I've never had a shirt fit so poorly. These shirts are very boxy and unflattering. I bought the same Large size I have for all my other Bean gear. The areas across the shoulders and upper chest/neck are fine, but there is 3"-4" of extra material on the sides and front from armpits level down to the bottom of the shirt that should've been removed. I know these aren't "fitted" or "slim," but I certainly did it expect the shirt not to have any taper whatsoever. I'll be donating these 4 shirts and just chalking up this purchase as a loss.
