I have gotten slippers from them each year for years. This year the cost has tripled and they are not worth that.

Bean Boots
My newest pair leak like a seive at the leather/rubber seam. They’re basically new with the brick red bottoms from a few yrs ago.

I have had great luck with LL Bean. Their t-shirts do not fade or shrink Nd last forever it seems. Winter clothing offers a good value. Returns or exchanges are hassle free.

LL Bean doesn’t know how to make clothes for hot weather. Fabric too thick / won’t breathe. I have a swimsuit from them that it probably still damp from swimming in it a year ago.

They are good for flannel if you can find the right fit.

Their bean boots are awesome.

Get some of boot dressing and melt it into the seam.

That said, the bean boots are mostly made for incidental water contact. They aren’t full rubber / waterproof boots for immersion.

I have a few ll bean flannel shirts I wear in the winter. Being a cold natured person, they are are the best.

If you purchase something there, just make sure its not mostly cotton. If its mostly cotton its not going to be as warm as wool or fleece.

The Levis you buy online cost more but are significantly higher quality than the ones you buy at Levi's stores, Dillards or any other department store. Fact.

Bean makes some of their own goods, like the Bean Boots, but 90% is made in Asia by third parties and Bean just puts their label on it.

I would look at everything on an item by time basis.

I like my Bean Boots a lot. And I appreciate that Bean will repair and resolve them.
