I have bought these shirts for my husband. After about 10 washing they absolutely fall apart in the washing machine. It seems the fabric comes apart at the buttons. The shirts are not really worth the money if they don't hold up in the machine. Very disappointed.this happened to 4 shirts.

Terrible Shirt, Not ColorFast
PostedFebruary 18, 2014
I washed the shirt for the first time and the nice yellow shirt turned blue from the Clorox2 (blue). I repeatedly re-washed in a bucket with Clorox2 and Shout, and the bluing still didn't come out. No other clothes in the same wash had caused any bluing nor to the other clothes. It looked like I poured the Clorox2 into the wash and the shirt reacted blue afterwards. No other shirt I have owned has ever reacted this way. The shirt makers need to make their clothes COLORFAST. LLBean should drop this line of shirts - poor quality.
After wearing the shirt twice and washing it after every use the ring around the collar would not go away. Will return it. Hopefully the more expensive 100% poplin will clean up better. First time I have had a problem with LLBean quality. Thank you. Dr. DeVeau
