Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Turtleneck

I got two of these, decided to wash/dry one first to see if/how much it shrank. It shrank a lot. I can still wear it but I decided to return the other one because I was looking for a more relaxed fit. Nice quality and cut.

L.L. Bean turtlenecks are excellent. However, I ordered what appeared in the catalog to be a soft orangey pink. It is a very bright pink that doesn't go with my other clothes at all. I could have returned it, but if I did they would not return the shipping charge, and then I would have to pay for shipping it back also. So I kept it but haven't worn it. All the tags are still on it. You might say, "Isn't shipping free"? Only with an L.L. Bean card. I gave mine up when Citi Bank refused to investigate a dispute when an expensive laptop was never delivered. They still want me to pay for It.

Had to return as turtleneck too tight, all other aspects of top fine

The sleeves on Bean's Women's long sleeved products lately have been about an inch too short prior to washing.. After one wash, they even shrunk a bit shorter! I have purchased Bean clothing for years and never had any issue until this last few months. The shirts sleeves are not long enough for my average sleeve length. Maybe they changed the pattern or manufacturer, (made in Indonesia) but I will not be able to wear any long-sleeved shirts from Bean until this improves. Please return to your original patterns, or maybe offer an option for a Women's tall size in all shirts & tops for better sleeve length. Thank you.

I ordered three of these, all in beautiful colors.....The description was "slightly fitted" I ordered Petite Small. i returned two, and would have returned the third, but I had washed it before trying it on. I had hoped to layer these under flannel or other shirts, but they were very loose fitting and too short to tuck in. There was no "fitted" to their shape. The XS would have been too small in the shoulders and chest. So sadly returned the two.

Ordered several in petite and washed one in cold and dried on low. It shrunk 2 inches in length in the body and sleeves also shrunk in length. I exchanged one for a regular medium. After shrinking, it was just the right sleeve and body length. I went to exchange all the others I bought, and there is only 1 color left in medium. Now I need to return the shrunken petite as well as the ones that I didn't wash since there are no replacements left. No excuse for that much shrinkage when it is well documented! Disappointed!

I had similar experience as another poster, this turtleneck is smaller than same one (in different color) that I ordered a couple of yrs ago. The material is noticeably thinner, and it shrank after washing acc to instructions. Deciding whether to size up or to just return and purchase at another retailer. At this price point the overall quality should be higher. I love LLB, but their turtlenecks have been disappointing in material and sizing, esp in shorter length of arms and torso.

I have ordered many of these in various colors over the years. Loved them!!!! I ordered two this year, the teal, which is a great color but not when it rubs off on my bra even after two washings. The Heather grey is the second one and that does not have that smooth look and feel that Bean's Supima cotton should have. It's not the kind of thing that warrants a return but come on, what's up Bean!

Quite thin, though I like Pima. And very tight for the size.

Love the fabric and the fit. Washed in cold water, Put in dryer on low for 10 minutes. Hung to dry It shrank about 2 inches. No longer wearable.

The turtleneck ran small and was not the generous cut nor thick fabric I expected from LLBean. It was not the quality I expected.

Collar very loose and flimsy after only a few wears Not like my other turtlenecks Air dried only

I am 162 pounds and 5'7" I bought a large based on reviews in my normal size. I just received it and tried it on and I felt like a stuffed sausage with two short of sleeves and like my neck was being squeezed out of a tube of toothpaste. The fabric was also kind of cheap and not comfortable with much stretch. I hate that I have to pay $6.50 to return it or I might try an extra large but I am already out too much money for just this basic cheap turtleneck that looked awful on me.

The turtleneck is baggy and droopy. The top was very expensive and is borderline unwearable. It's no surprise that the fashion model has her hand on her neck to hide the defective turtleneck.

I find this turtleneck really lacking in the quality that L.L.Bean used to have. It is thin, way too short and I'd really like to just send it back. The company used to offer Tall sizes which provided a bit more length, but I noticed this is not offered much anymore. I have one of these turtlenecks from back in 2020 and it is still in great shape, made of better material and longer. L.L.Bean, what is going on with your products?

I bought this turtleneck in two colors to wear under sweaters. I noticed right away, even before laundering, that the body of the turtleneck is very short (doesn't always stay tucked into pants). Now that I washed them, the sleeves are also very short. I even checked my order to be sure I hadn't accidentally purchased the petite version. I would definitely advise to purchase a larger size, but I'm not sure that would completely solve the body and sleeve length problems.

Have several turtlenecks from years past and quality has been excellent! This turtleneck size small fit, but the quality of the fabric is not what it used to be. The fabric is on the thin side, and the sleeves were a bit short as was length. I chose not to return it because I wear it mainly under sweaters; however, it doesn't provide much warmth as with my other turtleneck from years past.

I just returned it. If these were about 2-3 inches longer (or maybe 3-4 inches if they shrink in length after washing), I would order several. It seems like a lot of other people have felt the same way for some time. Also wish there were better color selection from LL Bean.

Quality as expected was very good. But disappointingly rusty red. I was looking for something much brighter.

The medium was quite small and it shrunk after washing.

I bought several of these as I loved the jewel tone colors, but the care tags on the inner left seam are scratchy and are stitched entirely into the seam so cannot be removed without opening the seam. There is no excuse for this as soft tags are readily available in this industry. Back to Land's End for me.

Too short in length; otherwise good fit, but can only wear under another shirt.

I've had 2 of these turtlenecks just shy of 2 years. Until now they've laundered fine. This morning, I laundered one as usual. The minute I pulled it from the dryer I knew it had shrunk considerably; an inch+ in the torso and sleeve length (confirmed by comparing it to the 2nd one I own.) I spoke with LL Bean customer service and they told me to send it to them and they would "evaluate" it. I've heard LL Bean has changed their position on standing behind their products but this is my 1st time experiencing what, I guess, is their new "norm" Hopefully, they will agree it should not have shrunk like this. Regardless, I don't recommend this item unless you want to buy it too large, to allow for long-term shrinkage, or air dry it every time, Seems that's what I'll be doing now with the second one I own. Not ideal . . .

I'm keeping it because I love the color. However, the weight of the fabric is too lightweight.

My last one like this, same size, fits very loose, almost looks like it's too big but that's what I like. Newest, fits like one two sizes smaller. I am returning it.
