[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LL Bean is an old brand that appeals to the middle-aged, like me. I love LL Bean. It's not fashionable, but mostly timeless. I have a few fleece jackets from LL Bean that I love. They are warm and well-made and last a long time. Ditto for their polo shirts. I bought several for DH and for the kids, and they last forever. I did buy DD a North Face jacket, which she wore until it practically wore out. She was on the cutting edge of fashion, but stopped wearing it when all her friends started buying North Face jackets (micro-down, or whatever it's called). Now she wears a dumpy, Army-green jacket that's all the rage with her friends. Not my style, but I'm not a teenager.

Oh, sorry, OP. Get the LL Bean jacket if you like it. It's probably better made than the North Face jacket, which is not worth the price at all. And North Face is out, according to DD. [/quote]

I went to prep school in New England a [b]hundred[/b] years ago, which is where I first learned about LL Bean - the kids there used to wear the shoes out, then return them and get a new pair. The flannels were big then, too. I still think of those are clothes that kids too right to care what they look like wear, because of that formative exposure.
