Great boots archive photo! I bought my first pair of LLBean boots when I was a Freshman at Cornell. Having grown up in New Orleans, I was ill-prepared for just how much it could snow in upstate New York. I called up Bean, settled on a pair of 6-inch lace-ups and they shipped them with a bill. I had no credit card, not many college students had credit cards in 1971. I loved the boots and sent them a check to cover the cost. I was hooked by Uncle LL, and became a customer to this day.
