    They were amazing once, but that was sort of a long time ago now.

    They had super high quality with an unbelievably good warranty. Basically, most of the store was buy it for life. They dropped quality and then the warranty followed. Now it’s mostly just a familiar name.

    Makes sense they’re trumptards

    • I remember learning about LL Bean from Seinfeld and asking why people like it. Later when I wasn’t living paycheck to paycheck and started buying quality goods, I learned that their famous warranty was gone. Which sucks because I’m all about BIFL.

            Yeah from what I’ve heard it’s owned by someone who genuinely wants to make the world less awful. Whether or not that’s true idk, but I’ll always prioritize a company that acknowledges and claims to attempt to minimize environmental impact over one owned by bigots

              It was owned by someone like that, he gave the company away and it’s now owned by a bunch of non-profits oriented around environmentalism.
