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

Large size was recommended but turned out way to large.

I have other L.L.Bean shirts targeted toward active lifestyles and love them. I was interested in some high quality Ts and ordered four of these. The colors were great, the fabric was high quality and they were well made. But I had to return them because the medium shirts were in reality large and hung on my like a flour sack. If they had fit I would have given them 5 stars for me they were 1 star and I compromised at 3.

I have 2-3 of these shirts that are at least 8 years old. For the past 4 years, I keep ordering new ones hoping that LL Bean's sizing will revert to more traditional fits. So far, no luck. I ordered a few 2 years ago, and 3 more this year, and the L is still the length of an XL from comparable makers. Nothing else about the L seems out of proportion for an older style fit, but they are just too long. My wife thought I was just being overly picky until I held the shirt up against my older ones and showed her the 1.5-2" difference. I realize that LL Beans changed its sizing years ago (I stopped buying the chamois shirts for this reason), and my particular now size seems to fall right in between M and L, so I'm sure others find the fit ok. But these L are longer than every other L t-shirt I have in my closet!

These traditional fit tee shirts are just plain sloppy they only fit in the shoulders. What happened to a more fitted Tee. You used to carry them. I mean a while ago but they were the best. I used to send my son to college with them too. I refuse to gain weight around my waist just to fit into tee shirts.

As always, a quality shirt. Sizing has changed dramatically

Well made and fit well but too dense to wick perspiration.

I love the quality of these, they are unshrinkable but beware, they are GROWERS. By end of day if you are doing anything other than sitting in one spot, they lose shape and grow in length. The sizing used to be great, but the last few Ts I bought this spring, they are off. The XL Tall fits more like a XXL. The L Tall is snug like a fitted shirt.

I've been buying these shirts for my husband for years and they have always been nice quality but I recently bought the soft spruce and the mustard colors and they are not the same thickness of cotton. They are thin. I am very disappointed. I might return them and select the colors we have purchased in the past. Another reviewer said some colors have thinner cotton than others. I guess this is true.

Sizing has not been the same and delivery was later than originally stated

I have bought about six of these t-shirts in the last two years. There is considerable variation in size and quality of the material. The sizes for some colors are larger than the sizes for other colors. In my case, some colors have a better fit in L whereas for other colors the fit is better in XL. Also, there is much variation in the quality of the material that also seems to depend on the color selected.

I bought medium and it's HUGE. Not happy for such an expensive product. Won't be buying again.

Good quality but too long. Need to produce one or two inches shorter.

I ordered a size large and received a size large but it's much too large

Nice t-shirt, but sizing is off. I normally wear an XL, but these were way too big and baggy. Purchased a size Large also, but those were too small. Guess I'm in between sizes for this t-shirt, which is too bad because I was looking for a good plain t-shirt that was soft and good quality, which this seemed to be, just didn't fit.

The neck is too tight and the cotton too heavy for summer comfort. Will have to keep searching.

LL Bean T-shirts are the best I've ever had. They are soft yet durable. The more they are washed, the softer they get.

These tees have been my husband's favorite for sometime. They wash nice and look good but sorry to say not for very long for the price. We have noticed all his LLBean tees don't last like years ago. The long sleeves rip in the seams at the collar and at the wrist. The fabric seems to just disintegrate. The tees are the same tearing at the collar. He bought some cheap tees which now have lasted much longer. Sad

Gift for someone who always wears a medium, he said it was huge - way too big.

LLB used to sell the unshrinkable t-shirts in women's sizes and for some reason they stopped selling them. I absolutely loved these and owned multiples of every color. They fit right, stayed tucked in and held their shape. In men's they offer a huge selection of colors so I just bought a few in men's from the Mansfield MA store and they are too long -they don't fit like the women's sizes did and unfortunately I will be returning them and continuing my search for a t-shirt similar to the unshrinkable. PLEASE BRING BACK THE WOMEN'S UNSHRINKABLE T's

These tees are excellent quality. I've tried many brands but these are the real thing. They fit as they should, they don't shrink in the washer or dryer, the material is strong, but soft. The stitching is well done and not likely to unravel. They cost a little more but I expect them to last so they are well worth the expense.

I ordered a XL regular tee and when I put it on I thought it was a tail size. Plus the stitching around the neck was not smooth, when wearing the neck doesn't lay flat.

I bought a medium, which I am a medium pretty much anywhere else. Medium other places fits exact or sometimes a tiny bit large but I was swimming in this. It is not anywhere near fitted, I would have to go down to at least a small in this.

I bought three of these. I am 6'2" and 160 lbs and ordered a small. The material is 100% comfortable and quality. But the sleeves are off looking when wearing like they fit more on a Medium shirt than Small. I am planning on sending them back but love the color and quality of the material.

T-shirts keep their shape except for the neck which starts to sag after just a few washes. This has been true with all of my t-shirts L L Bean.

My husband wanted a bright orange Tee to wear while biking. Nice color...but disappointing otherwise. Thin flimsy fabric with a VERY long body and over-all baggy. He usually wears a large, but this thing was a tent. Since it is a "return", didn't wash it, so can't verify the non-shrink part. Too expensive!
