These shirts look good, but are terrible for hot, humid conditions as found in my area (Houston). They are very hot and they do not wick water away from you. It's almost like being in a sheet plastic shirt.

Not the same quality. Wrinkled neck after washing. Much thinner than previous shirts purchased.

I bought 4 of these Tee shirts. They seemed well made but after 4 or 5 washings, the collars are fraying.

I bought these exact same shirts in 2024. The 2025 version has even worse Bacon Neck after one wash. The material is so much thinner and they come out of the dryer very wrinkled. I don't understand why LL Bean doesn't fix the bacon neck issue with these T shirts. Why does it seem like every clothing manufacturer is in a race to see who can make the thinnest material for their clothes? Very disappointed in the quality of these shirts.

I set out to replace my old LLB stonewashed fitted T (that lasted ten years at least) and this T isn't a replacement for those old ones. Traditional fit Med doesn't hang as well as fitted Large. First wash changes these, I doubt they'll last 5 years. LLB's Best T are the insect shield ones, they are Fantastic.

The size was NOT true to size. We ordered L, my husbands usual size. It fit like an XL. Maybe it was a freak situation and that 1 shirt was off. But the other problem was the material. The Material is too thick to wear year round as an undershirt. Which is want we were looking for, a shirt that could be versatile to wear as an undershirt and Tee. Lastly, the price was high. Two stars for the beautiful rich navy color.

The size is too big. I ordered a regular fit, these came almost to my knees, longer than even tall sizes and extremely wide. Quality is not as good as in the past.

Bacon neck after a couple washings. It has been brought to thei attention, with the standard reply:"We appreciate your feedback, etc, etc." Yet nothing changes.

These tee shirts are well made and fit true to size. The reason for my two-star rating is the color. It's billed as "navy" blue in the catalog, but these shirts are so dark as to be almost indistinguishable from black. They are NOT what most people would call navy blue. I understand that accurate depictions of color in a catalog can be tricky, but I wish Bean would offer a truly navy blue shirt instead of what I received.

This is the largest size medium t-shirt I've ever seen. It's an absolute tent and it will only be useful to me as a layer under a sweater. This is why you shouldn't buy clothing online.

My husband likes everything about this t shirt except it is 2 to 3 inches too long. He has had the same t shirts for years because he can't find any that aren't too long. He would order one in every color except for the length......Ugh!

I bought my husband a large t shirt and thought it looked baggy when he was wearing it. I compared the new large to a prior year's XL and guess what? The large is 2 inches longer and equally as wide. What a waste. Quality has become an issue that will make me think twice before ordering again.

I bought six of these t-shirts as my work uniform on the farm. I found that you cannot wear these in the summer in middle Georgia. Whatever these shirts are treated with to make them unshrinkable and wrinkle free must cause them to repel water. They do not absorb sweat which makes them miserable in the hot Georgia summers. They are fine in the winter.

Two years and the shoulder seams are wearing out. Pretty poor performance, Mr. Bean!

I wear LL Bean pocket polos almost every day so I wanted to try the pocket T. The pocket is positioned differently though. It's far off to the side and looks weird. Comparing it to a pocket polo in the same size it's 3/4" further to the side. Size is pretty close to the polo.
I will be returning. If I wanted odd fitting Ts I could get them cheaper than this.

I wear a lg in most brands. This large was huge, my son wears a XL so I gave it to him. It was still loose but he's going to use as a work out shirt.

I purchased tow gray heather size large. Fit is okay. After 4 to five washings, the neck of these t-shirts lost their shape being saggy and rolled over on the edge.
