I bought a sale item of this shirt this summer and once I put it on I was happy. It's very comfortable, soft, and not snuggy or too boxy. It fits well. Surely not the same material as LL Bean's earlier long sleeve shirts as they were thicker. However, these are thinner, but equally as warm. Good layering too. In the wash the colors and size stayed true. I liked this shirt so much I bought 4 more.
Love this tee, except that the sleeves and the length are too long for petites. I have to roll the sleeves up at the end because just hitching them up the arms doesn't do it! And the bottoms are too long if you wear the tee outside, which only results in making you look shorter.
If you're tall or average, you couldn't get a better tee!
I purchased the Pima cotton tees several years ago and while they were super soft and comfy, they were a) too short (if I raised my arm at all my belly was exposed!) and b) shrunk (making them even shorter).
I am pleased that LLB made the shirts longer and the reviews claim they don't shrink as before (I have not had them long enough to judge yet but they made it thru the initial wash well).
My biggest complaint so far is that on more than one shirt the V in the neckline is off-center to the left about 1/3 an inch. It may sound like no bog deal but it is significant enough to be noticeable.
For personal taste, I would love if the shirt were about 2 inches longer still.
