Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Carefree Unshrinkable Tee with Pocket Short Sleeve

I've bought these T-shirts for years. Just ordered 3 and very disappointed. Extremely thin material and way too large.

Sizes are why off. I've worn large in all other brand tee shirts for years and these fit like a dress, almost to my knees. Also sent me a small?

Don't like the new fabric of these shirts. No the same as the old one.

used to love these t shirts, they changed the material and the length, no longer fits, returned them all

Sizes are way too off, and L.L.Bean's Medium (M) size more like L or XL. And their "Tall" size option actually means "Wide." I bought a Medium size t-shirt and it looked like a very loose sack on me, while other brands fit well. I had to return the item.

Have been buying these shirts for years but the two I bought now are not the same quality

These shirts, short and long sleeve, were awesome until 2 years ago. Every one i purchased since gets bacon neck after 1 washing. Can't wear that again, look and feel like a slob. Based on other comments i see many jave had this problem. Instead of telling everyone they can return the shirts, wby don't you fix the problem and go back to the old shirt maker? You literally have lost many hundreds of dollars from me since this started and about to become morenof loss. You already charge way more than anyone for everything which is fine when the quality was way better. Now your quality is no better, maybe worse, and your prices are higher yet. You are gonna loose thousands a year from me because i can't trust your quality foe me or for gifts i buy. Stoo skirting the obvious issue and fix the problem.

I have LL Bean shirts of the same size and style and I liked the fit. These new ones were so big and baggy around the waist they looked sloppy. I tried washing but that did not help so I gave them away. Would not recommend unless you like wearing something that looks like a tent.

I really wanted to like this shirt, but I was disappointed. The sleeve opening is so big I could probably put my leg through it.

Material is all cotton, but it was some kind of itchy all cotton. I bought these a few years ago and they were great, but they apparently are getting them from a different manufacturer now.

I purchased (6) Tall/Large various colors and found them to be poor fitting, very baggy with no form. I purchased the cotton/poly blend previously. Those were higher quality and fit much better.

Item was described on line as blue when infact it is purple

I come to LL Bean for several items they sell. One of my favorite items are these t-shirts. I started buying them because they are 100% cotton and good medium weight shirts. Most other companies sell paper thin, poly/ring spun cotton junk mix. Well now LL Bean has reduced the weight of these and I might as well be wearing a skin tight Under Armour workout shirt with perma-stink. I'd rather them increase the cost a little then decrease the quality. Now the search for a better tee is back on .....again.

Shirts have lovel fabric, beautiful color and generous fit, but if you look at them they stain. Years back I stopped buying Bean's carefree tee shirts because they were not carefree. Other national brands do not claim stain free, but when you use shout and launder with premium detergent they look like new. Sadly, Bean does not pay attention to what matters to consumers, who wants to walk around in tee shirt with stains that don't was out.

Purchase four of these shirts and within two washes every one of them has "bacon neck" I expected better considering the price. I washed them on cold and dried in medium.

Unlike the rest of the shirt, the collar ribbing is very low quality and doesn't hold up well at all. It quickly loses its shape and becomes unwearable in public. I keep replacing them but at this point it's time to find another brand.

This tee shirt is the worst tee I have ever bought. The sleeves are giagantic in both width and length. You could easily fit one of my legs in it. And LL Bean claims this tee would not shrink??? I measured the length pre wash and then post wash in warm water. Shirt shrank 1.5 inch in length. So much for their claim of being unshrinkable.

I have one of these unshrinkable tee's from Sri Lanka. It's super comfortable and feels very high quality. I got excited and ordered 5 more directly from L.L. Bean. However, when I tried them on, the fit was entirely different and the fabric quality as MUCH lower than my original t-shirt. I'm returning all of them.

poor quality. stretched collars. just didn't look good

It's hard to find 100% cotton tees these days. LL Bean's have been my go-to for years, but the quality has changed. Usually, I wear a lge., but now that size is ridiculous in the neck, arms, and waist (for me, who's fairly slim still). Bean has been increased their "slim" and "slightly fitted" versions of clothes. I think many of us would appreciate that option in these once-great t-shirts.

returned. didn't like pockets. bought too many other shirts

I brought three large T-shirts but these t-shirt were much bigger then the ones I've brought in the past. They look and wore like extra large t-shirt. I took an old one laid it on top the the new one and it was clearly larger then the older one. So I do not know if this is the new normal to make men feel like their not getting fatter by making them think they're getting a large shirt but instead are getting an extra large one. Since I have washed and worn them and don't want to go through the hassle of returning them I will take the loss and will just buy middles shirts now.

This shirt runs extremely large. Size medium fit like an extra large.

Wore these shirts for years. Wear as primary shirt in summer and as undershirt in winter. Wear really well and last, have been purchasing these for years. Always ordered same traditional fit medium for perfect fit. Latest order of shirts were much larger than previously sent. I will only be able to wear these as undershirts as they are so baggy. Very disappointed and will be afraid to order in the future. Maybe Bean customers are getting fatter, and they are trying to accommodate.

I know this to be a very nice shirt from previous purchases. They start to fray way too soon but not as soon as LLBean's trolling for new credit card purchases to get a "for sale" price.. Why don't you honestly put them on sale, rather than only on sale if it's on YOUR credit card?
