Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Turtleneck

I just bought this turtleneck in a Petite Medium and it fits perfectly except that it is 2-3 inches too short length wise. It is that much shorter than all my other shirts but I guess I will keep it. I also thought that the sleeves had a wrist band but I guess I looked at the description wrong

Bought my usual size and it was too small. The color was nice, but do not like this thin fabric. I sent it back. Had to pay return fee.

The turtleneck fabrics is lovely but the sizing is off. The sleeves and body of the shirt is so short that I had to double check that I didn't order a petite! I did not. I would say the sleeves are 1"-2" shorter than the other llbean turtlenecks that I own. The large fit more like a medium (even allowing for the stated fit) I am keeping it, but it will be my turtleneck of 'last resort'.

Quality is definitely down. These turtle necks are so thin they are almost useless. I still have one I bought 30 years ago and it's better quality and is still in great shape. No more LLBean for me

Nice quality fabric, but the sleeves are short. Fits a little small overall even though it is a tall.

I bought a cotton turtleneck in xl, and it's a little tight, not to bad. Then I got a cotton/ cashmere polo in the same size, and it's huge on me. Everything too big. The collar and neck flap and fold untidily, and the waist and hips are big and stretchy. I need more consistency.

Bought a small (my usual size) and it is SOOOO skimpy! Barely fits and is cut very short. Fabric seems different too. Wouldn't buy again for this price.

I find the large size skimpy. It's too short to tuck in well, and the sleeves don't cover my wrists.

Why don't these come in tall sizes like the interlock turtlenecks?! Note the number of reviews that complain about short length. I prefer the cut and weight of these to the interlocks, but for length. Either make them in tall or make them so they don't shrink so much. I don't think you're paying attention to customer reviews!!

Bought several colors. They just don't have that nice cotton feel that my old turtlenecks have. They are thinner, stiffer. Will see how they hold up.

I bought the 2x for plus sized women....it fits everywhere also most too big but it is too short!!! They need to add two more inches to the bottom of these shirts so they stay tucked in. Material is soft and feels great.

Very soft and comfy but too short in the sleeves. After washing one time they would be too short. Cotton always shrinks a bit.

Should probably give it 2 stars. It's at least 2 inches short. I purchased a regular and I'm 5'6. I wear a small but sized up to a medium. This is very vey thin but soft. Just need it for one outing around Christmas and I'm POSITIVE after it's washed it will be a literal cropped useless thing.

My mom loves these shirts. For the price though your quality has gone downhill over the years. She wears cotton exclusively so she has noticed the color fades out mow at the seams and is very noticeable. She wears these daily. She continues to wear and buy them because it's hard to find cotton shirts that fit well for her. She also has been disappointed in the color selection. A lot of cool tones. She likes the shirt but over the years the quality has declined significantly.

This seems like a good quality turtleneck, but the arms seem a bit tight. I went ahead and kept it and will use it, but the arms feel like they needed to allow more room.

Very pretty yellow mock turtle neck but no cuff on sleeve. That was enough to return it with 3 stars in my book.

Turtle neck is made too tight. Color is quite nice.

I have been buying pima shirts for decades. Love them. BUT some of these colors are deathly. I initially bought the evening blue. Returned it because the color was a dull gray blue. Ordered the rose. That is a gray rose - another dead color. I kept it but it will definitely be hidden under sweaters.

Turtleneck is loose and doesn't stand up. Looked sloppy.

These shirts are beautiful, but do not like the fabric. Too thin, making the neck slouchy, and I don't care for the stretchy. What happened to 100% cotton?

I love your Pima Cotton Crewnecks, which come in tall sizes, but VERY unhappy the Pima Cotton Turtlenecks do not come in tall. Otherwise I would love them.

Sleeves are a little short as is the body of the shirt, disappointing

I have worn LLBean turtlenecks for years. I recently bought some new turtlenecks.. I was dismayed because the new turtlenecks do not have the heft or the warmth of the old. Have you changed the supplier?

Beautiful fabric and well made. However, after laundering according to your guidelines, there is a lot of shrinkage, especially in the arm length and body length.

The fabric is really smooth, making it easy to slide on layers. However, after I laundered it according to the instructions, it shrunk almost two inches in the length, a little in the bodice. I had ordered a size up because of my experience with shrinkage of Bean's turtlenecks. Next time, I'll hang dry.
