They will need it. They are having financial problems. Maybe the boycott is hitting just a little bit on that bottom line.

Cite? If I'm not mistaken they are increasing their Beanboot production capacity in the USA every year and still sell out. I scored a new pair for 40% off at the Fall sale.

If your company is doing so well, you don't need to discount 40%.

+1 = that is basic economics.

I think this guy is right. Trump is once again trolling us.

Bean should kick her off the board, then.

They, like many American clothing lines, are in trouble because most Americans are cost conscious. If I can buy a tshirt for $10 at Target or something, why would I pay $25 for it a llbean. Fashion wise they are about the same.

In my experience products like outerwear, flannel clothes and bedding and footwear from LL Bean or Lands End are well-made and quite durable. Target and Walmart ... not so much.

And yet, more people still shop at Target/Walmart than LLbean.

You don't need *more* people shopping at LL Bean than at Target or Walmart. You just need *enough* people shopping at LL Bean to keep them in the black.

There are more people shopping at Target than at Cartier. Doesn't mean Cartier is in trouble. There are more people buying Kias than Mercedes, doesn't mean Mercedes is in trouble, etc. Not that LL Bean is like Cartier, but you get the point.

Dang. LLBean need to dump her fast. Kick her to the curb and don't look back.

I could understand a board member supporting Trump as a private citizen and wouldn't hold it against the company.

Trump tweeting about LL Bean's support was unacceptable and I have therefore terminated my LL Bean card account and my relationship with the company.

That's why nobody does Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, right? Not even Amazon or Costco. Basic economics. FFS.

Literally everyone I know who shops at LL Bean, down to the girls wearing Bean Boots, are republicans.

Huh? Maine is a blue state.

LL Bean is worn all over New England.
Their quality is great. Their customer service is great.
Trust me, a ton of democrats are wearing LL Bean as well.

And then there's this - http://www.llbean.com/llb/ods/33?nav=bc

No anti-Trump folks are bringing down LL Bean. It's a cultural icon in New England.

LOL! I see s 25 percent off sale, which Bean never does. That tells me they're nervous.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Lol.

Sure I do. I shop quite a bit at LL Bean. Well, I did until I read about Linda Bean's illegal political donations.

They have tons of sales.

I have no opinion on whether we - libs, anti-PEEOTUS-sters - should keep shopping there.

I have been a steady LLBean customer for 20 years now and I have NEVER ever seen a 25% off sale before!

You might also want to reconsider any further financial relationships with their card servicer, which I believe is still Barclayscard (Barclay's Bank). Interesting that their website is experiencing intermittent issues this morning.

Overwhelmed with customer traffic? Selective DDoS attavk from a hacker as a statement? Interesting.

Please name 40% off sales at Costco and Amazon. Unfortunately, I live at Costco and have never seen %40 off anything. But you are right, JC Penny's, Macys, Nordstrom, Best Buy are always discounting. Three of the four are closing stores across the country. The fourth is barley being held up by their own discount store "Rack".

LL Bean is partnering with Donald J. Trump on a new line of executive wear. It has sold out before a single stitch was sewn.

Why doesn't he just bring back the manufacturing of his clothing line? More jobs for Americans..no?

Yep. All of his executive wear will be manufactured in America.
