Rare is it I get excited over a long sleeve t-shirt but I am loving the Pima cotton tee from LL Bean! The pima cotton is so soft and thick enough it's not transparent like some cottons. I love how bright the white has stayed after multiple washes. Now I need to get my teeth whitened! :) I'm definitely ordering an array of colors. This shirt is great as a strand alone piece dressed up w/jewelry or as an undershirt.
I'm a size 8, 5' 4", and I ordered this in medium. It's far too short in the waist. I considered reordering this in Large, but checking back through my closet I have several other t-shirts from Bean, short-sleeved, in size L, and they are 24" from shoulder to bottom hem, in other words barely long enough to tuck in. Also, this is supposed to be cotton? It feels like cheap polyester. I'm returning this for a refund and that's it for me as a Bean customer. The quality is gone.
I am very fussy about the shirts I wear, a lot of fabrics, even 100% cotton bother me. Not so this fabric. It is lightweight, soft and sillky. The v-neck is a good depth, not too high, not too low. Note on that, I am 5'4" so it might be different if you were taller or shorter. I wear petite pants, and sometimes petite shirts but order a regular in these to get that good depth. They are fairly lightweight, and the lighter colors are very see-through. I ordered a cream and it pretty much looks like I am wearing a gauze shirt. The sleeves are a little long on this for me in the size I wear (XL) but not so long as to be annoying.
I am soooo disappointed in LLBean. I have been purchasing women's (3X) pima/cotton v-neck long sleeved knit tops for almost 20 years. I love them. They are my everyday uniform almost. The Peru pima cotton is so soft and comfortable....fits just right. I have them in almost every color you have ever had.....I have them with holes for when I am outside working in the garden....I have them stained and use them for working in the house....the newest ones I save for dress up, these are the new colors that don't yet have holes or stains.
And this season....I see only 5 colors....no new colors....only white, cream. black, pink, and sold out peach....what is going on!!!!!!!! The misses sizes have almost 20 colors and the women's only 5.....what is going on!!!!!!!
Please tell me why you have no new....or even old nice....colors. I really like LLBean.....I really like to shop with ya'll.....I really don't like having to search for another company that has the right size...the right color....the right fitting v-neck long sleeved pima top.
