I purchased this coat for my husband because he loved mine, he absolutely loves this coat, and considering the cool, wet spring we are having it's the perfect in-between coat, too warm for winter jacket, too cool for no jacket. As always, LL Bean has come through again.
This coat is and always has been a staple in my family. My husband still has his from the 1980's and it still looks good. I am sorry to see that you have discontinued this style for women. The Adirondack barn coat is no comparison. Please bring these back for women with the original relaxed fit. No princess seams please. Built exactly like the mens please.
This is the fourth field jacket I have ordered for my husband. He wears it for hunting as well as pleasure and would not consider another jacket from another company. It's construction is nearly indestructible and over the years it has maintained it's color and shape after numerous washings.
