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

Looks and feels great. Great color. Bought for our trip. Just took it out of the bag to wear and there's a stain on front. Feels like gum or sap. Disappointed in quality control! Would recommend the item if you get a clean, new shirt!

Why do ur shirts fit like a night shirt for bed. Save material and shorten your shirts. Copy Untuck it!

I have several of these shirts. I love and enjoy their comfort, wearability, and durability without a pocket. At the end of the winter season, I had and have spoken with several customer representatives. The customer representatives told me that they have no control over the decision of the colors. So, as a customer, When will you be selling springlike/ summer like colors, i.e., orange, yellow, etc. etc.?

Its a great tee but the problem I'm having is the color of the shirt has faded greatly. It's the butter cream color and I've also have gotten pin size holes in the fabric. I have other colors and no problems. Would recommend the shirts but I'm going to stay away from the butter cream. I wish I had taken before pics so I could have posted...gonna call the company to see what can be done...

The shirt is well made, heavy cotton and look good. But something about the wrinkle resistant treatment LLB puts into the shirt makes the cotton not breathe or soak up sweat. It seems like Teflon on the inside and the sweat just rolls down your skin to your stomach. Heats up on the inside too with any physical activity. Just my experience. This is the second such tee shirt I have ordered and had the same result.

Really liked the shirt when I first got it. Very comfortable, nice fit, and good overall shirt. It's been about 6-7 months since I've bought it though, and noticed it had a tiny hole already, which is kind of disappointing considering it's a bit pricier than my other shirts which last at least 1yr+.

I don't know why sizing has gotten to be such a hassle. Used to be that when I ordered a Medium Tall from LL Bean it would fit my 6'2", 160 pound frame perfectly! This shirt the sleeves are too short and the body is too long. Wish they'd stick with quality again rather than going to all sorts of off shore manufacturers to get cheap prices! Very disappointed, returning this shirt and will look elsewhere.

Color faded on back of shirt after wash. Cannot wear shirt would like to replace it. Never had a problem with other purchases Very disappointed

I am a long standing LL Bean customer and truly enjoy your clothing, when I can get it in my size. Once again, I get a new catalog and see something new that I like color and style (mens, large tall, weathered oak Henley shirt SS). Go to order it and not to my surprise I can't because it isn't available or even available for backorder. Why?!

As usual, you brag about new colors, but only offer them in one style. Of four green colors in mens unshrinkable tees, only one (not new) is available in Henley short sleeves. Always a problem- and lost sales.

For 20 years I've purchased these shirts. They breathed and felt like true cotton. But as of June '25 these shirts do not breathe and you feel instantly warm wearing them, as though they are a poly blend. I also agree with other who have stated the fabric is thinner, albeit soft. I will not be purchasing these Henley shirts again. Sadly, I am finding more and more tried and true LL Bean clothing has become poorly made and of lesser quality. Bean is slowly loosing my business.

what happen to LLBean quality. The fabric on this shirt was so thin, didn't feel like cotton at all. Just cheap products that I could buy for half the price elsewhere

It's October, 2 months before Christmas and everything I want to buy is backordered till after Christmas or out of stock. Am I happy? No. I cant add a photo, I can't get the product. Service is poor.

I have been buying and wearing LL.Bean shirts since the 1980's and I still have a few shirts from the 80's. It's been 2 years since I placed my last order and I rarely ever write a review but I have had a few years to think about it. I have been ordering the same size shirts, XLT since the 80's and the fit is no longer the same and I have lost weight since then. The new XLT t-shirts are several inches shorter than my older shirts and I'm even smaller now than back then.

The shirts were ok but over priced. I was charged 29.95 for each of 3 shirts. When I got the shirts the price tags on the shirts were 27.95 so I over paid $2.00 per shirt. If you are going to leave old price tags on your shirts then don't charge more than the old tag. I am guessing this was old inventory that either got lost or didn't sell last season.

This Unshrinkable Tee was supposed to have a front pocket, but it does not have one. LLBean should listen to their consumers. If this Tee Shirt actually had a pocket, it would sell like hot cakes!

Shirt shrunk noticeably after washing in cold water

I bought two, the white is very thin and cheep. You can almost see through it, and It is NOT CAREFREE. Save your money.

Surprise! The pkg contained a women's skort. It should have gone to Conn. Your customer service people quickly got us a refund. 5 stars for them! But NO SHIRT until OCTOBER! I wish I could tell you about the shirt. I wonder who received it.

The first shirt was returned due to a hole in the fabric. I replaced it with the same. After it was washed, I noticed it too had a hole in the fabric. Seems like the material is inferior.

I have purchased reg large llbean henleys for many years. When I hold this up to the other ones, it is a couple inches wider. I tried hot water wash and dry to shrink it with no success. I guess at this point there is no way I can return it.

This shirt shrank immediately and was more wrinkly than a normal shirt. I returned it immediately. I'm not sure why this item is for sale.

Very uncomfortable; too hot to wear. Sleeves too short. Do not recommend.

Very hot; uncomfortable. Do not recommend!

A great T-shirt ruined by chemical treatment LL Bean puts on the cotton. Can't understand what the product manager at LL Bean is thinking when they add the chemical to make it wrinkle free and somewhat waterproof. Its no longer cotton! On a hot humid dry, its more like wearing a plastic bag. Didn't understand why I was getting heat rashes until I finally figured it out, called LL Bean and confirmed it. Bought six T's and am returning all. Unfortunately I threw out 6 older LL Bean T's when these arrived (and they didn't have the chemical). Maybe great to wear indoor on a cold and dry Maine winter night - but not in 80 degree humid environments. Really disappointed. Would love to have the LL Bean product manager call me and explain what they were thinking! Would add a picture of the heat rashes but I don't think anyone wants to see them :)
