Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Turtleneck

I bought four of these and cannot wear them There is a stiff tag on the side that is incredibly uncomfortable. I tried to snip it off, but there was still a small remnant that scratched my skin (actual red marks). I tried to remove it completely, but it is sewn into the seam so tightly that it caused a rip. Usually a big LL Bean fan, but someone just wasn't thinking.

the pink and light blue colors are beautiful, but that is it. they are super thin, compare to the same product in men's. I am 5'5, 123lb. and tried on size Small. The shoulders are not wide enough, the torso length not long enough, the sleeves are ok but wish they were slightly longer, the width of the torso is too big (even though this is not my main issue with this product). I suggest you go back to the drawing board and increase prices if you have to, but please produce a good quality product that is it thick and warm, it is a turtleneck after all.

Very disappointing not consistent sizing. Runs very small and SHORT! I have sn older one same size fits fine. A lot of L.L. Bean shirts and sweaters are way too short or they shrink up

I can hardly pull it over my head. I will wash it in cold water and hang to dry.

I've been buying these turtlenecks for years. This one fit ok before I washed it, but then was totally unwearable in the neck and length after washing it. This didn't happen with the same item a couple years ago. Be warned!!!

I bought two turtlenecks from here. Both fit great upon arrival. Both shrunk horribly when washed in cold water gentle cycle. Both were dried by hanging up. Both shrunk down to child size. I did not expect this from LLBEAN. Especially since others have given this such a high rating! I have bought tshirts here before, and lately, they're shrinking also.

What happened L.L. Bean ?!! Your turtlenecks have been the Gold Standard. Well, not anymore. All 3 of the white turtlenecks I just received reeked of chemicals - manufactured in Peru according to the label. This will be the last order I place as I've completely lost my confidence in your merchandise. Pity. You used to be a great company.

After washing it in cold water and drying it on a drying rack it was about 2-3 inches shorter! I returned an unwashed blue one as well as the color was too subdued.

The collar is so loose, it doesn't stand up like they used to. I own 6 others with thicker cotton and collars which can stay up.

Clearly, looking at the low reviews, this T-neck is too short in the torso -- and then, it also shrinks a lot in length, even washed gently on cold setting, plus low heat drying. You offer the long sleeve crew neck in TALL, and I am grateful. I have a lot of those. I will not try your T-neck again unless it is offered in TALL. This is especially true in cold weather, when I am more likely to want to tuck in a top in order to keep my lower back warm. And even untucked, I want to be able to have it cover my lower back when I bend or sit and not reveal my back to the cold. We don't want to call and discuss the T-neck, or return it for a refund, or exchange it for another T-neck that will still be too short. We simply want a TALL option. I have been buying from LLBean for over 40 years -- lots of items -- but NOT this T-neck, until you offer a TALL option.

My husband purchased this turtle neck for me for Christmas.... I wore it for the first time yesterday. I wore a pullover quarter zip over it & when I took off the quarter zip at the end of the day the right sleeve stitching was totally hanging by a thread. So disappointed as I love my LL Bean clothing. Since all tags have been removed & thrown out, I have no option but to try to fix the VERY terrible craftsmanship of this item.

QUALITY HAS CHANGED. Terribly disappointed. Been buying these for years. It has been a tried and true staple. No more. Now the fabric is very thin and almost see-through. The turtleneck part was a "cowl" neck by the end of the day. Awful. C'mon Bean's !! As a FOURTH generation customer, you have really messed up what was an excellent product !! Please up your game.

The quality and fit were fine. However, I ordered the rustic red, which turned out to be closer to a dark orange rust, not red. Because this was far from the color I expected and nothing I could use, I was forced to pay additional postage to return it. Will think long and hard before ordering again, when I have to pay for something that didn't match what I was told to expect.

The fit changes from year to year. This time: square cut and very large. I'm returning it. The one I bought last year worked.

Turtle neck was too tight, claustrophobic. Hard to pull over your head.Returned.

Very happy with the shirt, not so happy with the personalized part. Wanted FMT they did it as FTM when I chat with them they said that's how they do it. Well why ask for my personalized initials. Who says their first name last name then middle name.

I used to love LL Bean cotton turtlenecks, that were ordinary cotton, soft and durable, washed well, but thick enough my bra wasn't visible. Was delighted yellow turtlenecks were available again, so despite it being "expensive" I ordered one. I won't send it back because it will most always be under a sweater, but beware, these are super thin--probably yet another "save money" effort on the part of LL Bean.

The fabric (quality, hand and color) is beautiful; I'm returning this due to sizing and construction issues. First, the neck opening is very small, leading to stretching the neck portion and making it look wrinkled and tight. Second there is no binding tape on the seam that attaches the neck to the body of the T, and the thread used to construct the T is very rough, coarse, and itchy beyond belief. Which only amplifies the problem with the neck size. I also bought a mock neck Pima T, which has the same problem. The crewneck Pima T, on the other hand, does have the tape around the neck, it's soft and feels very nice. And finally, the thread mentioned above makes the whole shirt uncomfortable, along with the stiff fabric tag that's sewn in at rib-cage level. Does no one try these on before ordering the full lot? Placement at the hemline would be far less problematic for comfort. I even ordered a Plus size so it wouldn't be tight after washing. So I'm returning this, along with the Mockneck; color me very dissatisfied and disappointed.

This turtleneck was way too tight in both the neck and the arms. It was so uncomfortable that I returned it.

Ine washing in cold water and hung dry they shrink, almost become a midriff. I sent back

I've been buying these for years. Sadly, my recent purchase was very disappointing! The quality of the cotton is very thin. So thin that you can see through it. This is no where near the quality that I expect.

I am very disappointed in this garment as it is unexpectedly short, out of the package. It ends an inch or so beneath my navel, so cannot reliably be tucked in, nor does it hang gracefully, being so short. The material is fine.

No more Pima for me. Too clingy, Too cold. Too long.

I've alway found LL Bean shirts to be soft and wearable, but the latest turtleneck shirts are so short, they cannot stay tucked into jeans.

I purchased this a few weeks ago and had it monogramed. I have washed it once in cold water. It shrunk "up" - before washing it was down to my hip and now it just reaches my waist. The shrinkage is completely unacceptable!
