My husband loves these shirts-the material is very soft yet they hold up very well. He finds them warm and comfortable. I've purchased them in the past and will continue too. Of course, it's a great time to buy them when on sale!!
This white tee is not white, it's very yellow. It looks like it was made from very old cotton. I will never order it again. I thought it would whiten up if bleached it but it did not, now it's an expensive dust rag.
LLBean Now Seems to do "Vanity Sizing" for Men Too
PostedJanuary 12, 2011
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, "vanity sized"
The quality of the Long-Sleeve T-Shirt is Exceptional. However, I have two pair of the same shirt that I purchased 2-3 years ago in size Medium. I reciently purchased the same size again, only to find that the sleeves, width, and shirt length are a little over one-inch longer than my older versions I have. The quality of the shirt is such that there is little to no shrinking, so that can not account for the difference.
My conclusion, LLBean has changed the sizing over the past few years and is now doing what other manufactures are doing (vanity sizing) to mens clothing too. A size medium seems to more of an old size large. A size small seems to be more of an old size medium. Manufactures are doing this to make people feel good about themselves that they can fit in a smaller size than they expect.
Wife wife has ordered LLBean clothing over the years and is experiencing the same issue with her orders. Lots of returns and exchanges because sizing definitions seem to keep on changing.
Excellent shirt quality, but be aware that you may have to adjust your shirt size down to account for "vanity sizing".
