LL bean pants
Hey guys!
I was on the LLBean site, looking at their dress pants (indy style) and noticed they're not offering them in taupe, the closest color they had, anymore! If im mistaken please correct me!
Just FYI,

FYI, I called today and asked about the taupe color. I was told they were simply out of stock and a new shipment was due in before the end of this week. I was assured that that had not discontinued the color or changed the name of the color. I don't know how much of the information I got was correct (we all know how customer service people can be), but that is what I was told. So we will have to wait and see.

Anyone familar with this style...
http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... s&sale=yes
Are these more of a bootcut...it says straight legged and I'm wondering if it's an almost bootcut style.

Dress Chinos, Classic Fit Pleated In either the classic or natural fit are the way to go, and the Dark Khaki color is the way to go in the mean time.
These are close enough while waiting for the Taupe to get back into stock. Although... the taupe looked pretty awesome on my Saturday night for my wife's company party.

Here is another alternative I just saw in the Filson catalog/website (Single tin pants, dry finish in dark tan color). I haven't seen these in person, but Filson usually puts out a nice product, in not a bit expensive. Unfortunately the website only shows the khaki color, but the mag show the "dark tan" and to me it looks like a pretty good match. Check them out yourself at: www.filson.com/79.htm
They have another version with pleats, but no back pocket flaps. I prefer the flaps over the pleats, but to each their own.

I was recently in Freeport and the Dark Olive Grey are definitely Green, more green than gray. I would call them Dark Gray Green. The Dark Khaki color is nice, but not authentic. I also asked, and there will be no more taupe in this season's selection. Maybe next year. In the meantime, check the LL Bean outlets.
This happened a couple of years ago as well. The taupe was discontinued and I asked if it was coming back. I was told that taupe is a seasonal color and they don't usually carry it year-round. So don't panic yet. It could come back again. In the meantime, save your money and when it does come back, stock up!

I bought and received a pair of first class twills in taupe from LLB about 3 weeks ago. They were on sale from $75 to $50. They have the button through flaps. In their absence, if you can do without the flaps, the cavalary twills in dark tan are a good choice. The color is actually a little lighter than milk chocolate. http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... =ssdpb1003

[quote]Dear Mr. Lantrip,
Thank you for contacting L.L. Bean again regarding the First Class

I am sorry, the Twills have been discontinued and are not longer
available in either color. We do not have any current plans to replace the
Twills. I am sorry to disappoint you.
Please let us know if you have additional questions, Mr. Lantrip. We
are always happy to hear from you.
Sincerely,

Read'em and weep (or least sniffle a bit). I posted about 3 weeks ago these pants, also known as LLB Travelers were on sale for $49.95. The color is just about dead on. correct pocket flaps, just no button fly, but did have double-pleated front and no cuffs. I managed to get a pair, wish now I had bought 2.

I was just on the LL Bean website and I saw a pair of pants that looked almost spot on for the Indy pants. It's called "Lightweight Chino Pants, Pleated". The color is Eucalyptus.
I'd like to know if anyone thinks this pair looks pretty accurate before I buy them.
Also, do any of my Jersey friends know if the Flemington outlet carries the Indy shirt?

I spoke to LL Bean customer service the other day and the fellow seemed to be very conscientious and thorough. When I inquired as to the status of the pants in the taupe color, he put me on hold and contacted the procurement department. He was told that all catalogs for spring, summer and fall had already been printed and there was no taupe. He said beyond that it was undetermined if taupe would be back. If this information is correct, it did not sound promising to me.

I went to the LL Bean outlet in Flemington, NJ, and they had a huge stock of the Dress Chinos in Taupe. There had to be about 30 or 40 on the display shelf. Since they only had one pair in my size, I felt a little gyped, but I figured I pass this info along to anyone in Jersey. Or anyone who lives near an LL Bean outlet. I asked the lady at the checkout counter what the deal was with the chinos, she said that the outlet stores get all the items that are either overstock or discontinued. So, if you know where there is an LL Bean near you, give it a shot, they'll probably have them. The only problem is that the sizes they had available were really weird.

Anyone in Jersey feel like doing a little recon? I'm sure if you went and bought up the pants you'd get some interested parties, especially since it looks like the pants aren't coming back!
I'd do it myself if I were home (Brooklyn) but I am currently in Ithaca, NY which I am convinced is the furthest I could possibly be from ANYWHERE.
In all seriousness though, if anybody in the area close to an LL Bean outlet feels like doing a good deed, I would be more than happy to pay for the pants, shipping, and a lil' extra for gas money

I just ordered a couple pairs of the dark tan pleated cavalry twill pants mentioned by Starman Jones earlier. I kept trying to order online and it kept telling me that the size and color I wanted was not available. I called on the phone and was able to order the pants. Since online I was not able to get the size and color I wanted, but I was able to over the phone, it sounded to me like they were low on stock and possibly these items were on clearence. I asked and she confirmed that they were on clearence. So, if you have tried to order these online and were not able to, call and place the order over the phone, you may be sucessfull. They are not bad for someone looking for a cheap alternative, they are currently $24.95.

I just checked out the site, do you think the olive colored pants look accurate at all? On my screen they look pretty darn accurate.IndianaGuybrush wrote:Thanks for the post Bufflehead, I just ordered 2 pairs myself, one in dark tan and one in charcoal. BTW, folks, these really are nice pants and for $25 you CANNOT go wrong!
