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

This purchase was a test - I wanted to see if the company had fixed the "bacon necks" on their Unshrinkable Tee's. Well, I think they've fixed the long-standing problem. Bad news: This shirt has no shape - it's all ready for me to grow into with the beer belly that I don't already have. This is an unflattering, shapeless thing that I could have bought somewhere else for $4.00.

I purchased 3 of tee shirts. One was a smaller xl. The other was a perfect xl.

The medium t-shirts are too long and too wide, and the fabric is treated with a water repellent so that when you sweat, the sweat remains on the inside surface of the fabric and isn't absorbed, and thereby makes the shirt very uncomfortable especially when you go into air conditioning.

Quality material but too snug, same size as previous shirts ordered were not snug.

Too tight around the neck, need to loosen it up or make it bigger neck hole.

I had these shirts 6 years ago and they made me sweat without allowing moisture to wick away to the outside surface. I decided to give them another try and the first morning I wore them on a 72 degree shaded walk the sweat accumulated on the inside and dripped down my back without any aeration. They haven't changed. I returned the shirts.

I usually wear large, but was fortunate enough to be able to try one on at the store; so I bought a medium. It fit perfect, but the color stretched out after a couple of washes. After investigating, I found out that they are adding that stretchy fabric elastotene to the collars. I'm not sure wht all these stores are starting to add stretch fabric to their garments, as it ruins them.

I have purchased several t-shirts in the past size L, Regular, Traditional fit. The t-shirts I received and returned were suppose to be the same size, but were way bigger. Now I don;t know what size to order next time. I suspect they were mismarked.

I bought several of these shirts. Great fit and style. But the collar has worn out after just a few wears on all of them. Pretty low quality.

I ordered a medium and it was to large, so I sent it back for small and got a message saying "Out of stock", not a good experience.

Poor fabric and fit; baggy shape. The fabric was coarse and uncomfortable and the t-shirt wore very baggy

Love the fit of these shirts for my husband...however, they all get holes in the mid-section starting after just a couple of months. We have probably bought 20 of them over last couple of years.

Cut differently than in the past and now much shorter. Inconsistent sizing. I purchased 3 different colors and each tee is a different length

I was disappointed in the color, as I ordered white. They looked like they had been in storage for a long time and discolored. They were cream, and were less white than the worn ones I was replacing. Never even tried them on after taking out of the bag to confirm it wasn't the plastic that was discolored.

These are nice shirts, but one wash and the collar loses its shape I wish I had words to describe what I mean. I would not recommend buying this shirt.

After only the second wash the bacon neck appears. Otherwise not a bad shirt, but this neck rolling makes it look five years old already. Fits well. XLT - 6'5" 250lbs

Increasingly sub-standard LLB quality. I've purchased dozens of these shirts. Quality continues to sink. Lately sizing is off for XL, Too long, too big. Must be using different patterns. Also quality of material getting lower and lower. I'd pay more for better quality. Returning the 3 I just purchased.

The collars on these have wrinkled after first wash and do stay tight, makes them look cheap, stretched out, worn and shabby.

Great quality tea shirts at a very reasonable price. Good choice of colors too.

The shirt material is nice and looks good. BUT the neck stretches out and looks terrible. It doesn't keep its shape at all. We haven't even had it a year!

Over all built solid, but after two years all the necks stretch out and become very misshapen. The rest of the t-shirt is fine. I have 10-12 of these t-shirts that I rotate through for work each week. I realize it's just a t-shirt, but these are not cheap to begin with!! I guess I should just continue buying t-shirts at the Army-Navy Surplus place.

These shirts get bacon collar after one wash/dry. Other than that they are are good quality. If the bacon collar issue if fixed they would be 5 stars.

We've been buying these tees for years and they have always been true to size. This order, however, was 2" longer and 1" wider than the last time. Men's regular large. Husband can fit into it nicely (he wears XL) so we're keeping them.

Bought two XL t-shirts, one in blue and one in maroon. Blue fit great, but maroon was tight. Fit as maybe a large not extra large. Preparing to return the maroon t-shirt for another.

I've purchased a number of these T-Shirts over the years, usually 5 or 6 at a time. This batch just wasn't up to your usual high standards. In fact, I'm always so pleased with your products, I don't even keep the return paperwork or packaging, because I have never felt it necessary to return anything. I don't know if your supplier has changed, or your QC standards have slipped. Regardless, If I had the opportunity to return one of them, I would. Sorry, just not what I expected.
