Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Turtleneck

The fabric on this turtleneck was lovely! However, the fit was terrible. It was about an inch too short in the waist and hips. Strangely, the fit was not the same as LL Beans traditional cotton turtleneck. (Not sure who is in charge of quality control? Apparently no one).

Comfortable but I find the body to be short. Arm length is ok but over all it feels a bit small.

I am a decades-long time customer. It's not just LLB but also other competitors that are narrowing the width of sleeves. I weigh 116 lbs at 5'1" but your Medium-sized sleeves are growing narrower each time I bought one. It's very annoying to be aware of the tightness in the sleeves when I am trying to get work done. This is typed during my work hours. But Work is not an activity choice here. How can I relax in shirts with tight sleeves in cuffs and elbows?

I ordered a small regular when normally I would order petite small based on reviews that it shrank. I should have bought a tall instead. It shrank so much I have difficulty keeping it tucked in. Otherwise it is great in terms of softness. Please have your suppliers shrink the fabric beforehand rather than passing this issue onto the consumer. Disappointed.

Nice quality cotton, but sleeves are too short, and body is short. I don't need a Tall, Regular is normally perfect, but this Regular seemed more like a Petiit.

Not the quality and softness for the price. Will not reorder.

The interlock turtleneck is much better than this one. This shrank a little, it's a bit too short, and not nearly as comfortable.

I bought a large and although I like the fabric, it is short in the arms and barely long enough to stay tucked in. I'm 5'7" so not overly tall. I would say these run small.

This turtleneck fabric was a little less giving than others I've ordered. Color was true to website, and I generally like it, but prefer a softer and more giving fabric. As always, quality service from Land's End.

The sizing app was intended to give me the best fit. Unfortunately, it assigned a size that was too small.

These run short!! I love the turtlenecks other than that I have to order a bigger size to get them long enough. I am 4'11!!!

I love the smooth feel of pima cotton, but the material is much too thin for a winter turtleneck. Wish it could have been as substantial as LL Beans regular cotton turtleneck sweaters.

Not my favorite. I love the ones with actual cuffs on the sleeves. That is what I thought I was getting. It was not. Next time I will pay closer attention. We also need some vibrant colors. Winter is drab enough.

I've worn LL Bean Cotton Turtlenecks for years and have always bought a small size. (I have not gained weight over the years!) I found this one to be too small and am returning it. The fabric and color were fine so I've ordered a medium. I'm hoping it's not too large!

I really like the pima cotton, but this turtleneck was a snug, I would like to have it in relaxed fit and not regular. When I was in the store I could not seem to find it in relaxed fit.

This would be 5 stars if it were just a couple of inches longer. I like a bit more length so that the front doesn't slip up to my waist when I do normal motions like reaching up into a cabinet. (I'm not asking for tunic length, but if I tuck it in it will begin to come up from my waistband.) The material is wonderful-NOT interlock which I do not like for turtlenecks- drapes nicely and feels silky ;the yellow color is soft and beautiful. Please LL Bean, consider making this lovely top (it also comes in a tee) just that little bit longer to be more versatile with the many different bottoms available! I'd own a closet full of them!

Not like turtle necks purchased from LL Bean in the past

This is the third time in the last 6 months to a year that I purchased an item I already had in my wardrobe, only to find the sizing had changed, for the worse (at least for me). First item was a pair of True Shape jeans, second was the full zip sweater fleece, and third is the pima turtleneck. I've typically purchased the Large size turtleneck for a little extra roominess, and the ones I've purchased over the last several years all continue to have a loose fit (even given a slight bit of apparent shrinkage due to multiple washings). Just purchased several of this years version, again in my usual size Large, and all appear to be sized smaller than previously, tighter in the body, but particularly, annoyingly tighter in the neck. Same issue with the jeans and the sweater; even though I still have my previous purchases, which still fit fine, the same sizes in the new versions are tighter. This isn't a problem I've had before in the years I've been shopping with LL Bean, and it's disappointing having to start over figuring out my sizing (and doing returns) for items I've bought fairly consistently over the years.

I bought several of these and washed each one separately before wearing. Each one left so much lint in my dryer that I literally had to wipe down the drum. So I decided I should wash them separately a second time. And again, I had to wet paper towels in order to get all the lint off the inside of my dryer. I've literally never had that happen with any other fabric. How can that be a good thing?

Nice and comfortable, attractive, though I am a bit worried that the smooth synthetic fabric will show stains.

I got the black one and washed it in cold water before I wore it. The color seems to have faded a bit with just one wash. And it shrunk a bit. I have the 3/4 sleeve split neck Pima tunic in medium petite and they stay perfect wash after wash. This is ok to wear as a layer under a 1/4 zip top, but I won't be wearing it under anything that shows it too much. The neck is more snug than my other turtle neck, but that one isn't a petite.

Soft, comfortable but shrunk significantly in wash. Disappointing!

I found the turtlenecks to be too tight around the neck. I have bought many t-necks from LLBean over the years and never had a problem. Unfortunately, had to return 3 of them.

LLB's Pima shirts are so nice, but with one fatal flaw for methey shrink up like crazy - most especially in the length and sleeves. You now offer the Pima long sleeve tees in tall sizes and they are perfect for me. I'm 5'-7" tall, so just over the edge of regular height. For reference, I was these shirts in cold water and only half dry on the lowest heat setting, and they still shrink.

The pima cotton feels wonderful, and is appropriately substantial. The problem is that the garment is very tight, especially in the arms. I can't imagine what it would be like after washing. I'm asking for an exchange, and going two sizes up!
