Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Cotton Shaped Jewelneck Tee 3/4 Sleeve

I have been an LLBean customer since the 90's. This pima cotton tee is my go-to choice for everyday. I have purchased tees from other companies in the past, but for quality and long life, I always return to LLBean. The 3/4 sleeve allows me to complete my daily chores and the fit is always true. I cannot recall how old some of my LLBean tees are, but my closet is dominated by them. Again, the pima cotton is worth the investment because of garment life. Especially from LLBean. Enjoy!

I find myself pushing the long sleeves on my shirts up on my arms so I finally just bought a shirt with 3/4 sleeves and it works just fine. Since I am long waisted I always look for shirts that come down below the high hip level. This shirt does.

I love these, and would have more if you would get better colors. They are soft, drape well, and last forever! Sizing is quite slim (especially from under the chest down to the hem) - so I size up to get a good fit. I have black, dark blue, plum, and a mid-pink color that's OK but could be brighter. Every new season, I look for rich, jeweltone colors....and find that you add more pastels and "muted" or "heathered" colors. What about true red, rich burgundy, deep cranberry, bright cobalt blue, fuschia? Whenever I see a color I like, I buy 2 (like black or the plum that you recently discontinued). I also would like patterns, but find most of them to be "frumpy" florals (and I'm 75 years old). I'll keep looking - maybe in the fall.

I have many of these shirts, which I wear almost every day. They are very comfortable and hold up well. The only issue I have with them is that the sizing is not consistent. I have small regular, medium regular and medium petite in my collection. Some of them shrink a little bit, so I have to figure that in. That said, I will probably buy more as new colors come out.

I had already bought one or two of these tops but they are a little large on me. I wash them but never use the dryer-maybe I should. The thing that I'm not happy about is before I even washed this one, I wore it a couple of times & there's little holes in the front lower part forming. What the heck! Have no idea where these holes came from. The other's don't have any. But, I love the color, the fabric & the 3/4 sleeves so I'll keep it & just wear it at home.

I have 7 of these shirts, and love them. The fabric is smooth and drapes beautifully. However, all of your pima cotton shirts seem to be getting narrower an narrower. I'm 5'2", and weigh 120 lb, and have to get a Petite XL in order to not have a skin-tight shirt. They're big enough at the shoulders and chest, but then from there down they could add a bit of room. Nobody likes their shirts to be tight over the lumps and bumps of jeans. They should allow for a bit of "ease", and also an inch or two for shrinkage (they're cotton knit, after all). I know this top is considered "shaped", but I just got the turtleneck in PL, and had the same problem - I had to return it for an XL.

Like the style but is a bit long for me. Great material.

Fits beautifully, but I am not thrilled with the color.

Ordered a small and its a bit on the snug side especially sleeves. Otherwise usual good quality I expect.

I originally bought this shirt in a medium, but it was too big. I wear a small in all the other cuts in this line, so I ordered a small hoping it would fit better. The fit through the stomach is great, but the sleeves are tight. I have average-sized arms, fit with some muscle, but nothing extreme, and they still felt restricted. My arms aren't bulky or fat, so unless you have small arms, you will probably need to size up for this shirt to fit comfortably.

A basic black shirt that works for many activities. I wear it when I need to look a little more put together for a summertime activity. It's a little too warm for summer home relaxing, though.

I would give the shirt itself a 5 rating. However, I do not like the cardboard-like tag that you sew into the seam. You can't even cut it out without leaving a sharp ridge. So, one has to open the seam, take out the tag and then sew up the seam again--a pain.

I like LLB Ts, any sleeve. BUT I find, if I let them go more than a couple of minutes in the dryer, I have a shrunken body. The length of the T shrinks up. So, I let the T go about 2 min, take it out, and hang it to finish drying..

PLEASE! Bring back 100% cotton; and LOOSE the spandex, and get 5 Stars! Otherwise this is a decent tee-shirt.

Well made good fit but some shrinkage and wrinkles in cold water and low dryer setting

Fits great, color was a bit different then I expected. Material very nice.

I purchased 2 of these tees in different colors. So when I washed one according to instructions, I still had a reference. The tee shrunk 1-1/2 inches in length and 1 inch in circumference at the chest. This was very surprising. I have purchased many LLBean pima cotton tees and have never had this happen.

The pima cotton is so comfortable. I like the color and the fit is good.

Love these shirts, but wish they were not so long!

I bought this shirt and two pima cotton v-neck, 3/4 sleeve and love the quality, the weight of the fabric and everything else about these shirts EXCEPT, the one I washed (in cold water and tumble dried on low) shrunk in length. I'm long waisted so now it's a little too short. It's a great shirt otherwise and I will still wear it. I'll be hang drying the others.

I live the Pima shirts. This particular one ran a tiny bit smallothers I've purchased in different styles seemed a bit roomier in the same size.

So soft and pleasant. I've ordered a number of L L Bean's pima cotton tees over the years.

Very nice, but wish they were a little wider. Or have available another style where it was wider rather than "gently fitting the body."

ordered 1X as that is what I have ordered in the past. I thought was a bit tighter. I will not return the top, but I will always have to have sweater or something over it.

I love these jewel neck 3/4 sleeve cotton tops, and have many. Unfortunately, some of the colors seem dull when compared to the catalog. Thank you for starting to carry women's plus sizes in the store. However when I was there recently all of this style were in the back room rather than on the sales floor, while short sleeves were on the sales floor. It's winter!
