LL Bean Bomber Jacket
http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/23787...wool-insulated
Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I am a big fan of LL Bean. I'll also admit that I didn't pay list price for the jacket. Nowhere near it. This was a somewhat proactive, or maybe impulse, purchase for three reasons. The first was for winter riding when I get a Ural. The second was because it fit. The third, because it was on the clearance rack at the LL Bean Outlet in Bangor, ME. ![]() ![]() This is one warm jacket. Maybe too warm for late April morning rides. The fit is good and it is most definitely wind proof. Not 100% sold on the collar, but it does keep my neck warm. Only other gripe is that the zipper is a bit stiff, but I expect that to loosen up with use. It figures that this was probably the last day I'll wear it before I need it again.

Well, Spud, its' list price was $400. It was at the Bean Outlet because it was a return for size. Too big or too small, dunno? It had been marked down to $160, which was a good price. But I found it on the '50% Off Marked Price' rack, so it was $80.
![]() We had a $100 LL Bean gift card, so it could have been FREE, but Mrs. C turned out to be a better shopper than I. Between my jacket, a couple coats for Mrs. C, new slacks for the 'no longer pregnant' daughter, a couple of Tees for the SIL, a book on birds, socks, and a skirt for the older granddaughter, and some clothes for the baby, we got out of there for slightly more than the price of the jacket. ![]() Right place at the right time.

Yup. Felt like maybe we should have run to the car.
