That's pretty funny considering LLBean does a better job than most in catering to hunters with better than average quality gear (unlike, for instance, Bass Pro).
When were you last in Freeport?

LL Bean isn't what it once was. Seems the offerings are geared to the man bun types rather than the lumberjack/guide type. I can't comment on the pants, but the last 2 items I ordered from them fell apart much quicker than they should have. LL Bean and Eddie Bauer both went to hell, literally. They're both run by commie-thought people and no longer get a thin dime from me. They both rile against "blood sports".

You know this from buying krap from Bass Pro no doubt. LOL...defending fellow commies is all you know.

Well I can tell you this. If it’s LL Bean, you’re paying too much.
Camp is where you make it.

I’m a big fan of Big Bill. Great stuff for 1/2 the cost of LL Bean.

When were you last in Freeport? When was the last time you looked at what they actually offer. Stuff tends to work and last as well, unlike BP's cheap-end China crap. But hey, if you like cheap junk that was built to fail, you are welcome to it.

They are NOT hunters by far. I actually OWN Bean wool, and it is imported. Works, but is not of the same quality of yesteryear. IMPORTED.

Beans new stuff is garbage,I get my wool stuff off of E bay.
With a little patience,you can find vintage,made in usa wool hunting clothes,in good shape for way less then they charge for new.
You can get the pants hemmed,jackets taken in,etc. For a perfect fit.

Search Ebay, maybe you can find some King of The Mountain bunwarmers for a decent price. The older stuff is great.

Have you seen what they sell? Apparently not.

I just bought a complete set of Cabela's wooltimate gear and so far I have been extremely impressed with the warmth and windbreaking ability. Especially the mittens my hands are always the first to get cold these have a zipper in the side you can leave unzipped to slip your hand out when you need the trigger or cell phone
