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

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.

Received 2 reg medium as gifts and they were huge!!! Wish we could return them but didn't get a receipt.

I am afraid I will no longer buy men's tee shirts from LL Bean - after 40 years. Every time I wash them I get large "grease" like "stains." I have tried everything under the sun to prevent this -every water termperature, drying temperature, detergent, you name it. The only thing that works is pouring detergent on and rubbing it on the "stain," letting it sit for 24 hours, then rewashing. This wastes water, energy and detergent. This has been happening for years. I have gifted shirts to my son-in-law and the same thing happens with these shirts - in another state! I have been putting up with it for years as I could not find the quality in anyother shirt - but now have. I am so sorry that LL Bean does not have the quality merchandise it once did.

The sizes are very unpredictable - we sent it back for exchange - nothing has been received as of yet.

The fit was not correct based on the measurements on the website material is great.

Llbean is all over the place with siziing and returning somethings is a pain. Also super expensive. Runs way big

The shirts shrink almost a full size on the first wash.

I have five or six of these and after a few washings the collars get wrinkly out of shape. Not LL Bean quality

I have been purchasing these shirts for years. However, lately I have had to return them twice over the past 6 mos because even though I wear a reg medium the current batch is 2 inches longer and about 2 inches wider. Too large. Too bad I can't shrink them down. I tried a small and it is too small so I am left without being able to replace my existing reg medium shirts. Inconsistent sizing from foreign manufacturers.

The shirt fit well and was well made, but the fabric coating to make it wrinkle free also made it nonabsorbent. I wore it while working out and the sweat beaded up on the inside of the shirt. Cold, wet and clinging as I moved - very uncomfortable. Shirt is OK for casual wear, but not good for exercise or physical work.

I ordered a T-shirt with a pocket, but to my disappointment the one sent lacked one. I had specifically asked for a pocketed T-shirt (and would prefer it to be a V-neck) but LL Beans apparently no longer consider customer satisfaction important. This was not an unreasonable request. They have all sorts of quirky products in their repertoire.

I ordered this T shirt in a medium based on the fact that a) that's what was indicated by LL Bean's sizing chart and b) all my other T shirts are either a medium or a large. When it arrived, the T shirt was absolutely huge -- at least one size bigger than any LARGE shirt I already own. After discussing this by phone with a nice customer service person, I returned it with a letter explaining the problem and requesting that I not be charged for the return shipping if in fact there was some sizing error with this particular shirt. In fact I was charged for shipping both ways, with no further acknowledgment of the problem. Not a lot of money was involved, but it's a very disappointing experience. It's hard for me to see how the company will continue to compete with the big online retailers.

Didn't fit right although it's still a nice shirt although wished it fit I had to return it

I bought this and a long sleeve version based on the many positive reviews. Maybe if you wear a small size, they are okay. They certainly seem like well made shirts of nice material, but I felt like I was being strangled. I have never tried a shirt with such a constricting neck. Now I have to pay $6.50 to return it for the privilege of just trying on one of their poorly cut shirts. It doesn't make me want to order from LL Bean again.

I made a mistake in ordering 2 xxl and 1 xxl tall, when I meant to order 3 xxl. When I called in The xxl tall did not fit and to exchange I was required to pay $6 shipping I decided to give the xxl tall to charity, keep the 2 xxl and quit ordering from L.L.Bean.
