Mine too. We switched to Lands End. Year 4 of that one.

That's not really accurate. Linda Bean, the granddaughter of the company's founder and one member of their 10-member board, is a Trump supporter. That is not the same thing as as THE L.L. Bean Company backing Trump.

That’s too much nuance for some people. They need black and white.

Adidas backpacks are made of IRON. You can throw them in the washing machine, as well, and they come out perfectly.

LL Bean backpack. The one that's like $99. I think it's called city something. It's been perfect and has a warranty. We took the bungee thing off the front of it as it comes off and wouldn't hold a jacket well.

Sorry but probably a lot of corporate boards have Trump supporters or Republicans or quasi-supporters of Republicans (Silicon Valley).

Exactly. You’d have to live in a yurt in the mountains and live off the land to make this boycott successful. Although, the yurt was probably made by a republican too, and of course, guess who probably owns the land.

Agree. Our LL Beans have held up amazingly. Even through the machine washings. Worth every penny.
