Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Turtleneck

The neck was too tight for me, but the rest fit perfectly.

I have bought many turtlenecks from LLBean. I always buy a Large - long arms ... So I bought 3 of these turtlenecks; when they arrived I took off the tags, hung them up, waiting for cooler weather. I put on one recently and was beyond disappointed. The tag says material is cotton, feels very cheap, arms are not long enough and neither is the whole turtleneck. Since I took off the tags, and it's been months, I cannot return them. Now I am a bit gun-shy about buying from llbean.

Very disappointed in how badly this shirt shrunk. After the first laundering the sleeves are way too short and the length is too short. I know I can return it but what a hassle. I would rather get the quality clothing I expect from this company.

When I received the turtlenecks I ordered (3), they fit perfectly and felt silky smooth and comfortable. After washing them, they shrank considerably, in length. Had to return them.

I never thought I'd have to return a purchase to LLBean. But this turtleneck was not what I expected. The material was very thin - too lightweight for winter. I've ordeted many in the past and the weight and feel was heavier and softer. I'd probably have to wear a sweater or a vest with it to be warm enough. The worst is the way it feels. Maybe good for Spring. No softness. I'm returning it.

Re: Order # 010213718602 000 N. I order the pima turtleneck frequently ... I must have at least 6 ... same size each time ... my most recent purchase was significantly smaller around the body than my previous purchases. What have you done to the pattern? I had to wear that night so can't return and not sure I would anyway because now I am very unsure of your sizing ... I am hoping I can stretch this one out a bit when I wash it. But I am NOT pleased. Photo is enclosed with the recently arrived shirt (coral rose) and one (light pink) purchased last year. They are the same size, same model.

I have worn only LL Bean turtlenecks for many years. However the ones I just received are so thin I could see through the fabric. I beg you to go back to the previous thick cotton ones. They were the best!

It did not fit like other Pima tops, and the fabric felt flimsy. I returned it and will not reorder.

Pretty colors, but that's about it. The fabric is flimsy and even though I wash in cold water and line dry, the three shirts I bought all shrank. I won't buy these again.

I sometimes wear petite, sometimes regular women's medium. The petite fit well in the store but when I washed it (according to instructions) it shrunk to moving 2" up my arms. I wanted to return it, but one can't after it's worn. So, I gave it to GoodWill and ordered a medium regular. It, too, has shrunk, using cold water wash, and I'll recycle it as well. I will now be hesitant to buy any washable item from LL Bean.

I bought two of these turtlenecks this summer at the store in Freeport. They were the perfect length until I washed and dried them. They probably shrunk two inches in length and I can no longer wear them. I didn't save my paper receipt and can't return. This experience makes me wary about purchasing other items in the future.

I bought 3 of these. Wore all 3 before I washed and dried per tag instructions. They shrank over a full size! I ordered my usual medium and put it on and it fit great! After laundering, the sleeves come well above my wrists and the hem barely covers the top of my pants. Unfortunately I can't send them back because I wore them and I'd have to pay the shipping on a product that is not usable. Order up at LEAST 1 size if not 2 sizes is all I can say. I was quite shocked to say the least as I buy most of mine and my husband's clothes from here. Bought him 3 also and they did the same.

I ordered this in late October to wear in the winter. It is much thinner than the Interlock T-Necks that I bought previously and lack the knitted cuff that I prefer. It is also stretchier than I expected. In addition, it doesn't seem to be color fast since after washing it the red color rubbed off on a white bra I was wearing. Would not buy this again.

Although the fabric is nice and the sleeves are the perfect length, the shirt body is TOO SHORT! The shirt is so short that it won't stay tucked into my jeans, most of which are high rise.

Ordered three of these. The neck is quite tight, and the seam between the turtleneck and the garment body is stitched with that complicated overlock/serging style that is so scratchy I couldn't wait to take off the only one of the three I got. Going right back. So disappointed!

This turtleneck was not for me. Very thin material. I have other turtlenecks from LL Bean that are wonderful 100% cotton and keep me warm.

Just received this t-neck in time for the cold weather. Other t-necks I've had from LLB have had a cuff/tighter sleeve around the wrist. These are loose, and feel weird. It would seem you'd want a tighter fit to keep your arms warm. Too much of a hassle to return at C'mas so I'll donate them. Loved the colors, hate the sleeves...

What a disappointment! The material is thin, the tag at the waist is itchy and it does not survive a single washing. Based on the Bean size chart I am between a small and a medium so I ordered the medium. Out of the package, it was snug across the chest and the sleeves barely reached my wrists. After one washing, the sleeves shrunk up over my wrist and after 2 washes are a 1/3 of the way to my elbows. The description promised a quality material that holds its size and shape. That is not what I experienced. I ordered several in different colors and all have the same problems.

I ordered this item in the purple and it was on back order. It arrived this week. But the fit is off somehow. The shoulder seams don't sit on the shoulder, they land about 1 inch lower than they should. And this creates some extra folds of fabric across the front. I really like the color and wanted to keep it but I know I won't wear it because of odd fit.

This was my third time buying this comfortable, soft, Pima cotton turtleneck. Even though I bought the same size as my other turtlenecks, this one didn't fit. The sleeves were way too long and also the sleeves were way too tight. Consistent sizing within a product line seems to be a problem for LLBean now. I hope this consistent sizing problem is fixed soon. Once I find something I like, I like to buy it in several colors.

Totally unusable. The neck was so tight that I could pull it over my head only with the greatest difficulty--and I have a small head. It was too long, came down almost to my knees. In addition, the printed size on the back was clearly visible through the light-colored fabric. I am returning it.

The neck is incredibly tight, and the body is also small. The fabric is very thin and cheap.

This shirt was not true to size -- sleeves were too short, and length was also off -- did not fall mid-hip. The cloth was also thin. But all got even worse when it shrank in the first wash. I had to return it.

The pima cotton is stretchy and uncomfortably clingy. I would not recommend this turtleneck.

The PRIM a turtleneck wasn't the same quality as 2024. It was inferior.
