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

Bought this for my grandson and had to return as it was too large.

Too Big, and now i have to pay extra to return it! Never again, Mr. Bean.

I've bought multiple other items from LL Bean in large, including T shirts, and they fit fine. But these T shirts are too large. To make matters worse, they're unshinkable. Inconsistency in sizes is my primary complaint with LL Bean and it's why I hesitate to buy anything from them. How can it be so difficult to ensure consistency in sizes across the brand??? So frustrating!!!

I want to love these shirts. I've bought several. Fit well, comfortable. But after just a few washings - bacon neck. Now I see numerous other complaints. Are you going to address this??

Shirt very large for a medium. Neck was oddly too right while the rest hung off the torso

I'm about 6' and 165 lbs. I wear a medium everywhere comfortably. Both mediums I got from LL Bean have a head hole that's too small, and the body fits like a tent. Sleeves also way too big. I'm guessing LL Bean is just vanity sizing it's clothes. Either way, if you are skinny look elsewhere.

Amazingly soft T-shirt that I wanted to love, but the neck is terrible! It has that bacon wavy pattern to it instead of sitting normally.

Since a stroke forced me to switch from button-downs to tees, I bought 21 Bean pocket tees, Tall XLs, in 2021 and 2022. The necks of every one them soon puckered, sagged, and folded over in front, otherwise known as the bacon neck issue in the Bean reviews. Today I filtered the reviews by searching on "neck lost its shape" and found 18 on point from 2017-2023 out of 188 total. It wouldn't take six years for management to fix this problem if it intended to.

I've purchased this t-shirt for years and think they're great. Unfortunately, the last two t-shirts I ordered were fulfilled by an LLB store. They weren't packaged and had been marked down by the store (they were full price online). One of the shirts had been washed - the collar was lighter in color than the shirt and wavy. Very disappointed - this isn't typical of LLB quality or service.

I can't believe I'm saying this; these are terrible. They are heavier and cut smaller than the 100% cotton tees with a pocket that they used to have. If this is the replacement for the older tees, I guess I will not be getting LLBean Tees anymore. They feel cheaper. They have paper tags inside on the bottom, like cheap tees. I've been shopping at LLBean since the 1970's. I've even been to the store in Maine. Big Fan, maybe not anymore.

I bought two of these as LL Beans are usually the perfect fit. After initially trying on, I thought they were ok, but maybe not my future favorite tee. I took the tags off of one and after wearing twice, I'm really not happy with it and don't feel comfortable in it. The neck is tight, the shoulders are big and boxy, and it's just really long. Glad I didn't take tags off both, I'll be returning the one with tags on it

I have purchased your Carefree Unshrinkable Tee's for years, but food stains on the more recent shirts are virtually impossible to remove. Such is the case with this shirt. I love everything about it except detergent and stain remover are of no use once greasy/oily food comes in contact with the material. I treated a couple of grease spots as per the stain remover instructions, laundered the shirt and faint spots remain. It seems that you might do well to include washing instructions with these garments because apparently something exceptional needs to be done to keep these shirts looking like new.

I bought these and within the first 2 wash/dry cycles, they developed very obvious bacon neck. The collar doesn't handle a dryer cycle correctly and ends up creating a wavy pattern. Other reviewers seem to agree with the issue

Disappointed in tshirt. Basic cotton Tshirt. Fit is boxy. Shirt looks old after 1 wash.

I purchased white and colors tees and none of the necks fit correctly. I do not have a large neck - 16.5 and none for the necks fit comfortably. I ordered size XL. I will no longer purchase from LL Bean

I bought a medium size T-shirt that with the stated on line sizing chart stating that a medium would fit a 36 to 38 inch chest When I opened the package and measured the T-shirt, it was 44 inches in size. That mis-sizing is ridiculous. All four shirts will have to be returned.

An exrta large tall shirt with a tiny choking neck hole.

These are very thin and flimsy t-shirts.and they do shrink.I always wash new clothes before wearing them.God knows where they've been.and these shrank even after following the washing directions meticulously. Avoidsave your money.

The new white T turned light yellow after one wash. Ts bought elsewhere, in the same wash, did not have this problem. Also better. IMO Bean has switched from quality to quantity. Way more types of Ts than called for. I think I am done w ordering from Bean, this was 1 of 2 strike-outs on my last order.

Been wearing these tees for years. My last order in May to replace 3 worn out shirts was delivered, I removed them from the bags and washed them before wearing. They are the same size Medium Regular I have always bought and are now huge. Thought I was shrinking until I measured the seam at the shoulder and it is 1&1/4 inch longer from neck to sleeve then before. Both sides of the shirt combined are now 2 &1/2 inches wider across the shoulder and look terrible on. Be careful when ordering - mine have now been donated because I can't wear them, I no longer have the packaging, and they have been washed.

Very dissatisfied with the fit of the "Large Tall" pocket tee shirt. The four shirts that I purchased are marked "Large Tall" but are really just Extra Large tee shirts.

I ordered a Black t as shown. The package said it was black and my order says it is black. The first time I wore it, I wondered if it was black or Navy. Yesterday after washing it with another t that is black, much to my dismay, my question was correct. It is Navy.

Ordered white but they look ivory/yellow/ dirty. Have order them for many years were always bright white. Returned them without opening the package.

I bought 5 of these tee shirts and they have spent two years in my drawer because after several washings the necks stretched too much. The only good thing is that they make excellent workshop rags. Do not buy.

Yes, these are now tag-free, but was that really a problem? The printed label shows through the back of the shirt, so the person behind you in the supermarket checkout line can see what size you wear. Another unsightly result of thoughtless cost-cutting.
