Title: LL Bean...Big Disappointment.
Post by: joe skipp on February 09, 2007, 08:03:00 PM

I had a thread awhile back showing the Wool Camo pants from Bean. They sent the wrong waist size.
  :mad:  
A phone call later, a new pair was on the way and arrived today. Same problem...they don't fit!
I have a 33" waist, I like room for thermals and I ordered 36"....I can't get them around my waist!! Plus, I turned the label over and they are made in Turkey  :mad:    :mad:  

I'm returning both pairs and will search the net for my favorite Swiss Army pants...I'll never place another order from Bean again....  :scared:

Joe,Go to Dicks.....They have brown cotton Duck brush pants on clearance. I think they are size 36" and I'm pretty sure they cost $20. They would get you buy for the Bunny Hunt.

i have been ordering from LL bean for over 30 years they always made it right if i had a problem with any of there products, always GREAT customer service. BUT i have noticed lately not many of there products still made in the USA.Which is sad.

Joe, I would second the Columbia Wool pants. Good price and they also size their clothes right. A large is really a large!

I'd rather buy from Turkey than China. At least Turkey is our NATO ally.

Hey Guys, I had the same problem with their Maine Hunting boots, it's not the same company I have dealt with in years past. ( Sad To Say )This is just my humble opinion,but I won't be buying from
them from now on.  Regards, Carl

Just goes to show what happens when a good "old fashioned" outdoor outfitters company gets "Yuppyfied"    :(

Basspro had Gallatin wool pants by Columbia on year end close out for 45 dollars.  May still be on sale.  Would have bought some but already have 2 pair of Woolrich.  Good luck.
