hi.just been wondering how those LL beans Taupe pants go with the rest of the gear.

anybody have some pictures they want to share?

thanks
Holt

Holt,


My first Indy pants were the LL Beans that were recommended on the main site. The dress chinos or whatever they were. I loved the way they looked with the rest of my gear!! Not only were they light weight, they were roomy and extremely comfortable. Which is great for a fat guy like me!!I started wearing them as everyday pants (I don't own any jeans believe it or not) until the button thing popped off. I may still have them. I know that ;0 but I am not the most computer savvy guy so a description will have to do.

Regards,

Schmidty

I might have to go with close enoughs instead of the Wested pants I was expecting in the mail. They were shipped a month ago, so its safe to assume the worst. Which pants would you suggest? The ones I found on LL Bean did not have the flap pockets.

I should be receiving a pair in 3-7 days!

You can check this thread for pics w/the web belt and shirt, and also a color comparison...

Also, here's a shot of the taupe microfibers with the rest of my gear (not wearing it ,obviously) for comparison...

thanks.the pants that you wear...are those taupe?

the pants that lay flat on the floor to the right of the 3 doesn't look like taupe to me...it looks like sepia

bests

The one's I'm wearing are the taupe microfibers. The shot of the 3 pairs on the tile floor - the far right are heritage khaki, which I don't think they carry anymore. They were too gold colored to be Indy-esque anyways...

yeah thats what I thought too.to much gold in them.

the taupe pants look really nice.very officer pinks color

thanks
Holt

The taupe is lagging a bit of red to spot on. But these are LL Beans taupe
pants.



Best regards

LL bean pants are the best you can get for the price.
And if they rip, just send the pair back and Bean will send you out a
replacement pair! . Best deal ever. I get all my Jeans and pants from them now.

I was not aware of that. Good to know. For me, these pants are just fine. Unless someone presents a compelling reason to by a pair that is more SA, my search for pants is pretty much over.

And the waistband expands and contracts with ones waistline!

Yeah,
this is the case with everything made by L.L. Bean.
I bought one of their school packs back in 2nd grade for 40$,
and since then I have had 6 packs, all of which cost me nothing and
I'm a Senior in high school now. Thats pretty good if you ask me...


You just send the item back, and they send you a new one. Keep in
mind it has to be a product failure, but they pretty much accept anything.

I was in the L.L. Bean store a while ago and a man was returning his old boots, they looked around 10-15 years old, but they still gave him store credit...

I hope to have my pants by Thursday the 26th.

Any thoughts as to which shirt compliments these pants well in terms of color? I'm leaning towards Todd's when he gets more XL in mid-summer.

WPG Indy shirt with LLBean taupe pants!

I assume that is what you are wearing in the pic?

I'm not afraid to admit I'm leery of the WPG shirt. I know Jerry does his best, as I've been buying WW2 stuff from him for over a decade, but there has been so much negative feedback on the Indy shirt that I can't help but wonder if it's even worth it to try.

The WPG shirt runs slightly large. An additional $10.00 and an excellent tailor and I had it taken in around the back so it has a nice taper. Takes away having to do the military tuck!

My pants should be here tomorrow. The only thing that stinks about that is I am off tomorrow and will end making a special trip to work just to pick them up.

So is "Taupe" a seasonal color or has it been discontinued by LLB? I've got most of the major components in place as far as the Indy's clothes except SA pants. The LLB price range is about as far as I can go right now, but no Taupe!

Just to clarify, is this the exact pair in question?

Maybe it's just the website pictures, but on the first link I posted (wool) it seems a bit more of the reddish color, and the latter (microfiber) seem to have more of a green tint, even though they both are called Taupe.

Picture of my LL bean Taupe microfibers I just recently recieved.



If I get a chance I will get a few picstures taken outside. The flash I think washes them out as they appear a little darker than that in person in indoor lighting.

My taupe microfibers arrived today. Seemed alot lighter in color than what I've seen on here, and what I was expecting....not that it's a bad thing.

How fast was shipping? I've found some decent cheap alternatives, but I can't do a quality compare check until my Todd's shirt arrives. But the taupe LL beans do look great. Most likely going to order a pair in a few weeks.

Ordered Friday, shipped Monday, arrived today.
