Thoughts on LL BEAN? They seem to have cool stuff with good quality. Do you guys wear anything like this? What are other brands like this? Patagonia, north face, carhartt?

Just copped some high rise jeans from them. Im not really proportioned like /fa/ would want but they fit nice if not a little tight in the thighs but im thicc.

ll bean is not /fa/
carhartt patagonia and north face could be streetwear, but they aren't automatically.

Pretty good quality stuff, I have a field coat of theirs that I wear pretty often, thinking of selling it though as it doesn't fit a slender build very well.

Patagonia is popular among the basic crowd, and is subsequently pricey for what it is.

North Face and Carhartt are severely underrated.

only good if theyre 60-70% off normal price

LL Bean isn't /fa/ but their quality:price ratio is higher than just about any other brand. i have a lot of their sweaters(size down 1).

The only problem is you have to be careful about boxy cuts. Most of their shirts are awful and cut like rectangles.

>> No.12011609

pretty good brand in a lot of aspects, would def recommend over pretty much anything else /fa/ typically fawns over

but gap is actually way higher quality than fast fashion. Their stuff is thicker, looks higher quality and last way longer than H&M, uniqlo or zara.

really good for basics/plain stuff

So true. I've bought from the Columbia store and thrifted numerous Columbia jackets all of which look great and held up during the winter

bean boots and backpacks are insanely popular because of their warranties and cultural significance. They can't produce them fast enough for the holiday season. Always happens around Christmas.

Bean is great for sweaters and long sleeve t-shirts

Buy the "tall" versions b/c the regulars are for manlets. I'm 5'11" and after one wash the regulars were riding above my belt.

I use to live in Maine, and everyone there wears LL bean boots, because if you buy a pair they'll replace them for you for life. They're really nice boots too

my mom bought me a plain navy ll bean book-bag in 1996. I was 6 years old.

simple, navy blue, with just one zippered pocket,

was in daily use for 16 years for school

i then used it on my motorcycle to go to my gfs during the week and weekends for close to 2 years after that.

then finally as a makeshift bag for a lifting routine i was doing and put 65 lbs of odd metal weights in it and use that a couple times weekly for about 18 months after that.

the zipper gave out last week and it needs to be put down,

i didn't think i would be so sad.

>the zipper gave out last week and it needs to be put down,
You know they honor their bags lifetime, right?

If you send it in they will give you a brand new one. I had one dry rot while I was in the boonies of Japan leaving it outside all the time and when I got back to america i sent it in two parts to LL Bean and they sent me a new one.

Their warranty on their backpacks is INSANE. They will DEFINITELY repair the zipper or send a new one. Definitely.

it was really just he last straw, it's pretty bad otherwise, but hey maybe i'll look into it, i'd love another one

they will definitely replace it as long as it still says "ll bean" and it's a backpack. They really stand by their stuff.
