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

I was disappointed in the color, as I ordered white. They looked like they had been in storage for a long time and discolored. They were cream, and were less white than the worn ones I was replacing. Never even tried them on after taking out of the bag to confirm it wasn't the plastic that was discolored.

These are nice shirts, but one wash and the collar loses its shape I wish I had words to describe what I mean. I would not recommend buying this shirt.

After only the second wash the bacon neck appears. Otherwise not a bad shirt, but this neck rolling makes it look five years old already. Fits well. XLT - 6'5" 250lbs

Increasingly sub-standard LLB quality. I've purchased dozens of these shirts. Quality continues to sink. Lately sizing is off for XL, Too long, too big. Must be using different patterns. Also quality of material getting lower and lower. I'd pay more for better quality. Returning the 3 I just purchased.

The collars on these have wrinkled after first wash and do stay tight, makes them look cheap, stretched out, worn and shabby.

Great quality tea shirts at a very reasonable price. Good choice of colors too.

The shirt material is nice and looks good. BUT the neck stretches out and looks terrible. It doesn't keep its shape at all. We haven't even had it a year!

Over all built solid, but after two years all the necks stretch out and become very misshapen. The rest of the t-shirt is fine. I have 10-12 of these t-shirts that I rotate through for work each week. I realize it's just a t-shirt, but these are not cheap to begin with!! I guess I should just continue buying t-shirts at the Army-Navy Surplus place.

These shirts get bacon collar after one wash/dry. Other than that they are are good quality. If the bacon collar issue if fixed they would be 5 stars.

We've been buying these tees for years and they have always been true to size. This order, however, was 2" longer and 1" wider than the last time. Men's regular large. Husband can fit into it nicely (he wears XL) so we're keeping them.

Bought two XL t-shirts, one in blue and one in maroon. Blue fit great, but maroon was tight. Fit as maybe a large not extra large. Preparing to return the maroon t-shirt for another.

I've purchased a number of these T-Shirts over the years, usually 5 or 6 at a time. This batch just wasn't up to your usual high standards. In fact, I'm always so pleased with your products, I don't even keep the return paperwork or packaging, because I have never felt it necessary to return anything. I don't know if your supplier has changed, or your QC standards have slipped. Regardless, If I had the opportunity to return one of them, I would. Sorry, just not what I expected.

I was excited to get four of these t-shirts. The colors look fantastic and the quality of the shirt itself is wonderful. Unfortunately, the sizing is rather bizarre. I ordered Mediums and they were the same size as other brands' Large t-shirts! I exchanged for smalls but those were...actually "Small". It appears there is no actual LL Bean medium now, which is disappointing. Two stars for great colors and quality. But the sizing issue is really depressing. Had to return them for a refund and pay twice to restock. It happens.

I ordered this shirt for my husband but we sent it back due to the poor fit. He normally wears a size small and that's what I ordered. This shirt was too tight through the chest and yet at the same time, too big in the shoulders. I know when he can't stop twitching around in a new shirt, I might as well return it. I had to agree with him that it just looked awkward, which is a shame because he loved the gold color!

Bought as undershirts, but the color was more ivory than white. We wanted a bright white shirt. We had to return- very disappointing

Good quality tee, but too expensive and LL Bean has taken away the great guaranty they once had. I think they are going woke!

I purchased the light grey tall, xxl unshrinkable t shirt. As a long time customer, I choose the "tall" size because I need the length to fit my long torso. Unfortunately , this shirt fit like a BOX. Wide and short. I don't return my purchases because it's usually more of a hassle than I have time for. So my choice will have to be to buy somewhere else next time.

I've worn these shirts for decades due to excellent performance. Today I wore one recently purchased while doing landscaping in very humid weather. It didn't absorb sweat- the sweat just clung to my skin. Very unpleasant. Would have thought I was wearing polyester. I bought three and now have worn two. I might return the one I haven't worn yet.

The neck seams were very rough. I'm not sure if it was the type thread used, or the way it was sewn. I had to return half of the shirts I ordered.

On March 6, 2018 I purchased two, tall, Carefree Unshrinkable t-shirts. A t-henly in navy and and just a regular t-shirt in deep olive heather. The shirts fit and washed well so on May 10, 2018, I ordered another Carefree Unshrinkable t-shirt in bayside blue heather. When the weather got warm, my husband found that he can not wear the heathered t-shirts. All three are Carefree Unshrinkable t-shirts and the description reads 100% cotton, which we have always associated with being able to absorb perspiration. These shirts do not absorb any perspiration at all, the water actually "beads" up on the shirt like it has a waterproof coating. My husband loves the navy, t-henly, wears it all the time. I had hoped the problem would resolve with several washings but no luck. Today as I was reading other reviews, there have been complaints about this exact issue as far back as 2010. Prior purchases included a navy t-shirt on September 8, 2016 and a v-neck t-shirt in black on January 27, 2017. These shirts are fine, no problem with perspiration absorption. Again it seems the problem may be specific to the heathered fabrics. I would say that the majority of my husband's casual clothes are from LLBean. Also, he is in need of more t-shirts so this is a pretty big disappointment. I will not be purchasing any more of these shirts and I would not recommend them. I give the purchase two stars because my husband opted to keep the shirts to wear during the cooler weather even though LLBean offered to accept a return.

Well I tried these because Bean did not have any of the similar tees for women they used to have. Sadly I had to return them because they just were too long for me. Please bring back unthinkable tees for women. Only good for men

I have been buying these t-shirts for over 20 years. They have been a relied-upon item for all of that time. BUT UNLESS THE QUALITY IMPROVES TO ITS PREVIOUS LEVEL, I WILL NOT BUY THEM. When these arrived, they felt lighter. I washed them; wore them. Still seemed lighter. Looked through them in not bright light -- WOW "I can see right through a LL Bean t-shirt?!" Last year's not so much. Then, did a closed-eyes test with my spouse comparing last year with this year: "thinner, lighter." I would very much like to see a tangible response from the company on this one. Kind of sad to see a great item decline. Wouldn't it be cool to see the company say something like, "yes; we noticed. Next year, the reliable quality will return."

Have been buying these pocket Ts for my husband for years. But a few years ago he started complaining that the hem threads were coming out leaving the hems flapping. I sewed some and got tired of that. Returned some and I appreciate that LLBean's guarantee works but WHY are the hem threads not as good as in the past? I see this in LLB's Ts for women too. My cheap Hanes Ts still had original hems after 10 years when the shirt itself rotted away and they became rags.

I bought 3 of these all in the same size and the sizing is extremely inconsistent. One shirt fits great but the other 2 are different lengths and widths.

I have purchased these shirts in white before several times in the past but the last two times they have arrived sort of dingy yellow in color. I didn't send them back because I was short on warm weather clothing after moving south from the northeast. Washing them, even with bleach, did not seem to help. I don't think I would waste money on this item again.
