I have been buying these shirts for some years and found them very soft and comfortable.. I buy them a bit larger than I would buy tees elsewhere, as they shrink a bit in the length. The sleeve length is great. The only real problem I've had is the small hole that develops over time at the waist. I have attributed the hole to the jean button at the waist - I wear them 75% of the time with jeans. I love your products and often give them as gifts. Thank you for instituting free shipping. I love llbean and will continue purchasing your quality items.
I primarly wear long sleeves to protect my arms from bruising. This shirt is perfect as it is light weight and can be worn under another item of clothing. I have purchased both styles in every color! Yesterday at my Doctor's office the nurse practioner asked me where I got my shirt. I proudly told her how much I love these LLBean shirts. They withstand many years of laundrying. I've had no problem with shrinkage; however, I dry on low heat or just hang to dry.
I have purchased many of these shirts over the years. There was a time I would have rated them a 4 or 5 but the body and sleeves shrink a lot! They still have good wear left but they they continue to shrink, I find myself pulling on the sleeves & body because they become so short, so I have to discard them. I am careful how they are washed, so that's not the problem. The small size fits fine when they are new but the fit doesn't last.
