Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Carefree Unshrinkable Henley T-Shirt Short Sleeve

I purchased a total of 11 of these shirts between 4 and 5 years ago. I love them and I wear them every day and throw them in the hamper at the end of the day. My math suggests that I wash each shirt around 36 times a year. One shirt recently developed a small hole which I returned and I purchased a replacement a few months ago. From the outset this one new shirt came out of the dryer wrinkled. To be clear, the ad does not state wrinkle-free or even wrinkle-resistant. But I want to tell you that the older group of shirts comes out of the washer and dryer ready to wear and completely wrinkle free. The newer shirt needs to be ironed. I use a bounce dryer sheet but even if I forget to add the dryer sheet the older shirts are free of any wrinkles.

Good style and fit. I've bought a couple more since.

While I like the style and selection, I'm very disappointed in where the shirts are made - especially at this price point.

A "large" shirt usually fits - this large was too large for me.

I bought 2 of these shirts, a blue one...color was as shown on the internet. and what I though was a light green one (like a sea foam green as shown on internet). The green was was much darker in reality. I'm going to keep it, but I was disappointed to see such a large difference in color. Fit was as stated.

The knit of the material that this garment is made from is light weight enough for me to be comfortable in, yet it will withstand a lot of laundering and still look good. Whether this is truly "unshrinkable" ....I can't say

comfortable shirt, have multiple colors

I'm glad I got the tall size. I have extra belly and this is generous even for a tall cut, which I appreciate. Thick strong fabric, but doesn't feel too hot. The crew neck is a bit high but I can work with that.

I bought these for my husband and he loves the comfort and softness of the t-shirt. I thought a large might be to tight, but it ran a little big.

good so far

great product. poor selection of colors available.

I have many of these shirts. The fact that I keep buying more is a testament to their quality. However the colors shown in the catalog with few exceptions are not good matches to the colors you actually receive. Still like the shirts.

Like the product but not the number of back-orders. This supply problem has existed for a number of years. The material in the shirt has also changed....less "tee type" material and softer. Not sure yet whether it lasts as long or holds up as well as my previous shirts.

Runs a little smaller than expected, but you get some relief from that because of the mock neck. I really like the range of colors, and you can't really go wrong with these at the price. I hope to still be wearing them in a few months or a year from now.

This Hensley collar is very nice. They do shrink, and they do wrinkle. The sleeves are always too short, and the shoulders need more room. Very comfortable, but not perfect. I hate sleeves that are so short they are just below the shoulder break.

Would like to see this in more colors. Colors don't fade. Would like to have sizing for shorter people available.

I purchased this shirt in blue and red for my husband. They are comfortable and very good quality, but I gave this henley 4 stars, since he prefers to have a chest pocket for his reading glasses.

Purchased three of these shirts. They are a good quality material but fit on the large size. I am 5'11 and 180# with a 43" chest. I sent the large back and got a medium which has more than enough room in it. Laid flat the medium measures 21" pit to pit and 20.5" at the belly area. You would think that wouldn't fit somebody with a 43" chest but these stretch pretty easy. If you like a roomy shirt stick with the large. If you like a slim fit try one of the medium. Judge for yourself. Remember, this shirt doesn't shrink.

4.5 stars. I have four of these shirts and wear them year-round. They go easily from knock around casual to a lunch date with my wife at a local pub. The dense weave of the cotton gives then a super soft feel but has the drawback of not allowing them to breathe well in very hot weather so I took a half star off..

it does shrink

I'm Hooked on these Tees, and definitely prefer the Henley version. My ONLY criticism is no pocket... if I could purchase this Tee Shirt (both long and short sleeve) with a pocket, I could ditch over half my closet. Come on LL, let me bump my review to a 5!!

I love this top. I buy 8 - 10 every couple years and have for over 10 years. I would like a bigger variety of colors. I have to say there is a lack in consistence in size each time I order. This order had tops that were a bit longer than normal I returned 3 and ordered small to replace want to see if they are a bit shorter. I feel like I have a short shirt dress on in the shirts I just ordered.

Excellent short sleeve Henley if you like t-shirt with buttons you'll like this shirt. Only moan and groan- we are guys, where is the "pocket"

I am 5'9" 195 lbs with an athletic build. I ordered this shirt in a large. Usually a large fits slightly loose for comfortability. This shirt engulfed me. It fits like an XL. I could order a size down and still have a loose fit.

Very nice shirt, fits nice, like it a lot so far. Only problem was it was backordered, and I had more trouble than I would have expected finding the status during the backorder period.
