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

Comfyish but the sleeves are so short I had to give it to my wife. Huge bummer after paying a lot for a shirt.

Material is thick and soft and shirt fits well initially, however after washing the sleeves are short and the body a bit tight. Definitely not unshrinkable, and if it shrinks more it might be unwearable. Disappointing.

I love the fabric and colors. I bought three. But the large-tall is supposed to fit 36" sleeves and it doesn't. It was about 35" new and 34" or less after washing once. Website says the sleeves are longer in XLT, but why does LL Bean think all tall people are overweight? Frustrating.

Looked at these shirts several weeks ago at $24.95 each. One week later the price is $27.95 each. Okay, we ordered three. We opened the delivered shirts to find each shirt is tagged with $24.95 as the price. Price hikes are not uncommon, but perhaps LL Bean could take off the lower price tags if they are going to charge us $3 more per shirt.

I have been ordering these tees for a number of years and they are getting really weak around the collar. The newest ones I've bought don't hold up as the ones from a few years ago, also they seem to not be as stain resistant either.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great shirt, true to size and maintains its shape EXCEPT in the neck area, it wrinkles like bacon. After a few washes, expect wrinkling in the neck area.

Bought two One was long enough but other was too short and had to be sent back

Have ordered tall size T-shirt's in the past but the shirts I received in this order are 3 inches longer than those in past orders. The sleeves on your regular T-shirt's are too short so I need the arm length of the tall size. I will have to take these to my tailor and have them shortened.

I bought a medium since that was the recommended size, and it was okay until I wash it... Carefree Unshrinkable Tee? No way!! it shrunk quite a bit... I will exchange it for a large.. The Finish and color are great love it. I recommend buy one size up

L.L.Bean sizing is like none I have ever encountered before, I wish they'd take the sleeves of the large maybe even the XL and put it on this shirt. Does anyone in product testing wear watches anymore?

No shape. Way oversized for 2x. More like a 3x. Neck was tight for a bigger size

I first bought a large and it was to big. I returned it for a medium and it still fit big in the arms. I paid shipping twice and am now just stuck with a shirt because I don't want to pay shipping a third time to return it.

Although the colors are dull and drab, the material and construction are good.

Bought 3 ls t-shirts. Different colors, same size. Each one fits differently. Same review I gave the last t-shirts the same review. I would think LL BEAN would monitor their vendors closet. This has always been a problem with the t-shirts.

Quality of unshrinkable tees has changed. I have been purchasing these tees for many years and in the last year I have found that the ribbed collar waffles after a few washings. This did not happen before, but has happened with the last 3 tees purchased.

Unshrinkable, not the sleeves. Nice material, soft, good fit at the neck. I like them snug for cold weather, would like a bigger, taller collar. I'm stretching out the sleeves, but it might be a losing battle?

Very nice fabric, but way, way too wide for someone with an even slightly slim or normal build. LL Bean, please offer these in a tailored or slim fit! Twenty-somethings, teens and those with average builds deserve quality shirts, too!

The white color appears yellow when placed next to other white clothing.

I have been buying Men's Carefree Unshrinkable Tee, Traditional Fit, Long-Sleeve shirts for over 20 years. This purple shirt is noticeably smaller and tighter. The description says 100% cotton fabric but that does not include neck- and wrist-bands which have some kind of lycra incorporated. I hate "tight" anything and these parts never get any looser. Probably great for most people but I liked how the cuffs would loosen after a few hours of wear. It may be just this color, I hope so!

Quality is decent fabrics is on the thinner side overpriced

The shirt fits well and did not shrink. It is very warm and comfortable. The only negative is that there have been 2 long strands of stitching that have come loose, and I have only worn it 4 times. We do not have a agitator washer, so don't know what is going on. I do like the shirt though

On first look, this is a good, high quality product, as expected. Unfortunately, I appear to now be somewhere between an XL regular and L tall. With other brands, I can usually wear either an L or XL -- fits just fine. I'm finding the current Bean line fitting a little tight and, as has become typical, the sleeves are barely long enough out of the bag. I'm sure this will shrink some, likely putting it in the give-away box due to three-quarter sleeves. I think Bean shirts are no longer for me. Larger sizes are way out of proportion. I'll bet they fit some people just fine. I'm about 5-10, 190 so, nothing particularly out of the ordinary.

It's a great tee shirt, well made. I was looking for something thinner in material

I almost always like the look and feel of L.L. Bean products and this long-sleeve tee-shirt is no exception. the color is vibrant and the material is thick. The problem is that after two washes, there is already a hole worn in the cuff; and I have had this problem before with this brand. I used to buy their turtleneck shirts but ran across the same problem. These are not exactly the lowest priced products in the marketplace and so this problem of quick wear should be looked into. The confusing part here is that the material seems to be of high quality. I have, by contrast, very thin and cheap tee-shirts that sometimes last a year without the seams fraying or holes appearing. Is it possible that the manufacturing process is not equal to the high-quality fabric? I can't say what the issue is, but I'm rooting for this brand, and so I hope one day they figure this issue out. (Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong. If so, I can't figure out what it is and why other brands seem to work out differently for me.) All that being said, if one were in a fix and needed something sharp-looking for a short duration, this product would then be a good deal.

It is a great shirt, and I have many of them, but the color wasn't the one I wanted. It was a darker shade of blue than it looked on the website. I had purchased an early one, and it turned out to not be the same color. I think the earlier one was called ocean blue, but I could be wrong. I love LLBean and have purchased at least 50 shirts from them over the years. They are so consistent on the sizing. I always get large, and it always fits. My only complaint is that sometimes the images in the catalog and online are not truly the color of the item. I'm guessing they have really bright lighting when they take their pictures which makes the color look lighter than it actually is. I know that sounds picky, but I'm a detail-oriented person and that's why I like LLBean in the first place.
