LL Bean...Big Disappointment.
« 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.

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

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.
