Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Carefree Unshrinkable T-Shirt with Out Pocket Short Sleeve - Tall

The t-shirt has a great fit and is very soft, except all of the ones that I purchased, the material gathered along the neckline after a couple of washing giving it a crinkled look, which interfered with the looks of the tee and looked like an inferior quality t-shirt altogether.

Crew neck looked stretched out after one washing. Can buy cheaper ones that do this.

Even on sale I paid too much for this average quality t-shirt.

I've been buying these t-shirts for a long time, and I'm afraid the quality of the material seems to have declined over time. For illustration, one of the first t-shirts I purchased lasted years and actually outlasted some of the ones purchased after. The problem is pinholes. They seem to crop up after a few washes. I always wash them in cold water, tumble them with no heat, then let them line dry.

Large is more like a XL. Had to return. Order one size down.

Very well made and fits well. However more suited for cooler weather as it does not wick perspiration.

These shirts are well made but sized extremely big. Had to return all three for a smaller size.

Really unshrinkable, and the medium is HUGE on my slim framed husband. He probably would've been better off with a small!

The quality of your clothes is very good but we were surprised that this item was so large. I bought it for my son for Christmas and after waiting two months for it, had to return it. He has L.L. Bean Polos, sweaters, and fleece and this medium isn't anything like those. It was HUGE! Plus, I'm not happy that I had to pay for shipping to return it.

High quality fabric but too short and wide, so had to return

We ordered several tee shirts in different colors. Later we were informed that most of them are on back order. We should have been informed when we ordered. Also one one the 3 we got is quite a bit longer than the other 2. Actually we have not yet received the blue shirt pictured

My husband has llBean tee shirts that he love, so I didn't hesitate ordering these online. However, the neckline was much higher and tighter than his other tee shirts, and he felt they were very uncomfortable so we had to return them.

Originally I purchased size large for my husband because in the past the large fit fine, but now the large runs too large so had to return for medium. Medium is better but still a little large.

This t-shirt fits like the old style decades ago. Large fits me fine. With newer ones made I actually take an X-Large. Very unusual. It seems newer t-shirts are "metro" sized. Narrow and skinny like putting on a tube sock over your torso. I return all those. Not this one. Wide, slightly loose, comfortable "working" fit. The only thing I don't like is the material. New "velvet" like cotton that does not breathe. Slightly warm weather or a little work and you are drenched in perspiration. Worse, it starts sticking to your skin all over. Older t-shirts of mine never did this and I tested it in the same conditions. They breathe and actually hold their form and fit better being the "non-velvet" type cotton. LL Bean, please return to the older style cotton used decades ago. I consider t-shirts to be working clothes. You can use these for casual wear or to the bar. Just hope you don't have a flat tire on the way otherwise you'll show up like you took a swim in it. If this were made with the older type cotton used, I would look nowhere else for a t-shirt. The weight or ounce material of it is perfect.

I bought this shirt in two colors. One fits very nicely. The neck opening in the other was too small and I had to return it. Buying a shirt in two colors should not be a size gamble!

Ordered an XL with extra length, order got changed to 2XL within system. If an extra length is not available in a XL size, they should say that in the ordering process, not just change the order.

Very disappointed. My usual size LT, swims on me and the cut of the material is so poorly done that there are "gathers" at the neck band in front and back. They look like a Seinfeld "Puffy Shirt". Will keep to wear for yardwork and Gym. Go back to your old supplier. These shirts have been decent for decades.

In warm, hotter weather these shirts retain all heat and sweat runs down the inside of the material. They are similar to wearing a rubber tee shirt. Good colors but very uncomfortable in hotter weather.

The shirt is a good quality thickness, fits about true to size. I don't like the collar though as it fits too tight around the neck. It rides higher than other tee shirts so it's uncomfortable having to pull it down.

Sleeves 1-1/2 too short and ill fitting for a medium . Return policy

The neck was too small for my son and so wasn't comfortable to wear.

I've purchased this t-shirt for my son numerous times over the years. Super surprised and disappointed to recently receive a shirt of lower quality -- the thick and soft shirt of yore is now much thinner and has a synthetic hand despite being listed as cotton. I'll be returning, please LL Bean, bring back the old shirt!

I have purchased many of these over the past several years. Now they are thinner and fit poorly. The shirts are baggy and flair out about 1-2 inches on the bottom, which does not look good. Returning all.

Thinner and lighter. Neck stretches out and looks cheap. Just the opposite of what they use to sell.

I have 8 of these shirts in the regular fit. over all there are comfortable. Unshrinkable I DON'T THINK SO!! Four of them are an inch to inch and half shorter than the others. All have been washed at least 10 times.
