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.
Hey David, what made the Loafer Jacket unique compared to a full patch pocketed hounds tooth sport coat? It looks unique but I cannot put my finger on where is differs.

Very nice photos in this series, Mr. Winfrey!
The photos on the newsletter are by yours truly just with an iPhone.
My apologies for the mistake and the sentiment remains the same.
Ha! No I wasn’t credited. More that the place is so great you just to take a snap shot and it looks good!

Well it’s less formal than a tailored sport coat. It’s more like a chore coat with a really cool lapel.
Love the Bean dispatches. Picked up a couple chamois shirts in a great khaki color on eBay recently.
