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

I have purchased a number of these long sleeve t-shirts over the years and I love the shirt although the "unshrinkable" part is not exactly accurate. If sizing is important and you are concerned about the sleeve length, wash it but DO NOT put it in the dryer. Just hang it up to dry. Overall I love these and will continue to buy them, just need to be cautious about the care of the shirt.

I have a half-dozen of these. I love the quality of the material. They're comfortable and last a long time. The trouble is with the collars, which become misshapen after not very long. So although they're durable, they become unsightly and have to be replaced. In my view, they're not up to LL Bean's regular standard of quality. I expect more from $30 t-shirts.

5' 9'' 175lbs size medium runs very big on me. ll bean fleece sweaters and fleece vests I wear a medium. Other brands I am typically med or large.

I have dozens of these shirts acquired over many years. Both long and short sleeve. This current model has changed. The material used is of a lesser gauge. It is not as heavy and thick as previous iterations. I have enough older examples with which to compare. It is still a good shirt for casual use. Nevertheless it is no longer the sturdy shirt that had caused me to purchase so many for numerous uses...biking, hiking, climbing and cool weather layering. Until now they were long lasting. Now that is questionable.

It's a nice shirt. I like the color and fabric. But it is significantly over-sized. Traditional fit seems to mean relaxed fit or baggy in modern parlance. However, they are correct in saying it doesn't shrink in the wash (unfortunately, in this case).

Nice but expensive. A lot of their products are over priced and I can find similar products locally for less.

I've always been satisfied with past purchases of Bean's long sleeve T's; about 10 of them. The recent warm gold color T, however, wears huge on me (medium side). It's an over-size box cut. I'm wondering if it was sourced by a different manufacturer. Since it's 100% cotton, I'm washing and drying it several times expecting shrinkage. The material and color are fine.

Nice fabric, but significantly too big, especially too long and sleeves too long. The ad says no shrinking and that made the sale for me.

I have purchased these shirts for a long time. I noticed what I thought was a food spot and was going to put a stain release on it before washing. When I looked closer it was a thin area of fabric not a stain. It looked like a mesh screen. Have never seen this before. I will stop buying these if I see this on other shirts. Also, will post a photo next time. LL Bean has the fabric weight or material thickness been reduced?

I own several of these long-sleeve T-shirts. I love them. That said, I was disappointed with the yellow T-Shirt. I put it on after a wash and noticed that it felt shorter. I compared it with a heather grey long-sleeve T-shirt that's been washed multiple times. Sure enough, it's about an inch shorter. I'm a loyal L.L. Bean customer, but am disappointed with this purchase.

I bought 2 shirts, size XL. The black is perfect, but the gray heather is 2" longer, and baggy in the waist. It almost fits like a 2X. I will keep it but I'm less than satisfied with the gray Heather. The black says it's made in Vietnam, the gray is made in Indonesia. So it's as though they are made from different patterns.

OK. Colors dated. Elastic in cuffs minimal. Better procts at better prices available at other retailers

Nice XL T-shirt but too big. Returned and am waiting for a Large to be resent (still waiting)!

Loved the fabric and overall quality of the item. However, the size, medium, is too long falling way below the waist. Since I don't like to tuck t-shirts in, it's a problem for me. Plus, sleeves are about one to two inches too long. I am 5'7" and weigh 160.

Good size hole (the size of a quarter) under the armpit after wearing it less than two years. Did not expect this from LL Bean.

It seems that the cut has changed on all products we have ordered in the last yearmens and women's tee shirts and multiple styles of fleece jacketsand the changes are not positive

Been buying long sleeve tees from LL Bean for ages. The fit on this year's batch is a bit odd. They are snug at the neck and cuffs, but a bit billowy in the chest. I don't think the fit is flattering.

Not as heavy or soft as Duluth Trading 100% cotton. Run a little large. Return postage required.

Excellent fabrics and overall quality but the fit is fit is weird on me. Sleeves are huge at the top and sag, Tapers down to a tight cuff, and too short.

Received 2 Tees yesterday and put them in wash. Not impressed with them. And for the price they are no better than others purchased elsewhere. They just don't make T-shirts like you use too. However they will get worn.

Ordered 2 LG long sleeve T's 1 fit correctly second was short all over..donated to Goodwill

Sleeves not in proportion with the shirt size. Far too long.

Nice but too long and loose so have to tuck them in.I tried to shrink these two shirts but I can see that's not happening. They are nice looking shirts but I didn't want a dress.To be fair they are made well as expected for the price.

I buy these unshrinkable tees (in short sleeve and long) for my husband and thought I'd buy one for myself (as this material isn't available in women's). I bought the white tee and it is NOT white, it's more ivory. If this doesn't matter to you, then go ahead and buy it, the material is soft cotton that will wear for years. Before wearing, I bleached the tee and it's a little better but I'm still not happy that it isn't really white. Looks like an older tee.

Way too big. Ordered a large, more like an XL. Had to return.
