Depends on the item. LLBean has a lot of products that are geared towards us geezers, not so much for college kids. Other things, like their ski parkas aren’t fuddy duddy. They just tend more towards solid colors, not as flashy, and of course without the label prestige.

It also depends on how much of a shopper you are. You can get more coat for the buck from Columbia if you are willing to shop closeouts. But, I didn’t find anything better than Bean’s basic down coat on sale last week for $63. And, Bean makes some basic items, like their men’s warm-up jacket, this is just hard to find anywhere else these days. So, it all just depends what you are looking for.

The Bean fleece is very high quality, but pretty expensive these days, although cheaper than North Face.
