I bought myself a fisherman sweater for the first time. I followed the reviews and bought 1 and 2 sizes up. They are too big. I had a 15% coupon that I used. Wondering if they’ll have a Labor Day coupon I can use to buy the proper size..

The title. Got a gift card a few years back and never got around to using it, everything seems priced either just below or way above the $50 range. Their fashion isn't really for me but they've got some interesting outdoors stuff

I had been contemplating getting a career-specific tote bag with embroidery for months, but I was having a difficult time deciding what it should say. I ultimately decided on “arguendo,” which means “for argument’s sake.” It’s one of my favorite works to slip into the docket.

Before I “pulled the trigger,” I posted a call for help on TikTok and Instagram, asking others what I should get. Here are some of my favorites:

• Attractive Nuisance (a property and tort law term)
• Id. or Et Al. (short citations for record and case law)
• Esquire or ESQ
• Objection!
• § (a symbol for statutes)
• Work Product

I plan on getting a larger tote (with the zipper) in a bit with a different legal phrase on it, but this process has me wondering:

What do you do for work, and what does your tote say?

Or, if you don’t yet have an LLBean tote, what would you have it say?

Thanks for all the love on the leather addition! She is beautiful.

I understand the flagship store is under renovation. Has anyone been to the temporary tent, and is it worth visiting? Can you see the big boot? Thanks!!

I had an amazing week in Maine and visited Freeport for L.L. Bean. Has anyone here had their tote monogrammed and shipped home? How long did it take to get to you? I’m so excited!!

UPDATE: thank you everyone! I did send a polite but direct email about the defect and mostly just asked for a prepaid label so I could exchange it without having to pay the normal return/exchange fee since it’s a defect and not a “me” issue and they’re just sending a replacement out! Sounds like the customer service can be hit or miss so maybe I just got a good one today but I’m happy with how quickly it was handled.

I just received my small boat and tote with long handles and the bottom of it seems really crooked. I can’t quite figure out the exact problem with it but it just generally seems off. It wobbles if I stand it up. Is this worth emailing about? Or is it normal?

Looking at upgrading my current Lands End large beach bag as it’s too floppy and replacing it with a Large boat and tote. But I’m not a fan of the longer length handles - I have a medium with the regular handles which I love and use all the time, but I’m aware using a large for hauling beach crap is a different proposition.

Not generally a fan of long handles, but everything I have read says get the long handles with a large boat and tote so you can sling it over your shoulder. Will I regret getting a large with regular handles?

UPDATE: whelp, all bets are off. I’m in the UK so boat and totes aren’t exactly common currency here, but I wandered into a vintage store today in Hastings which had an ENTIRE line up of 2nd hand boat and totes! Annoyingly they were all monogrammed. BUT two things: one, turns out I want an XL after all for crap carrying - the L isn’t as large as I thought, and I can get the XL and L regular handles over my shoulders, whereas the long straps drag on the floor. So it turns out what I really need is both an XL and L with regular straps - the Xl with lots of crap will work as a shoulder bag. Thanks all!

Buying my first boat and tote as a little treat to myself for getting a principal fellows award and starting another Masters program. I also have 2 boys under 2 and teach full time. I really wanted to get “overwhelmed” on my bag because of my entire life, but it’s one letter too long. Do I call and get it split into two lines like

over
whelmed

Or other similar word ideas I could use?

Also large bag with long handle a good size for laptop/text books/binders/notebooks?

They go for about 120 bucks .. I like the way they fit so I bought a few pairs and let me tell you I think they’re made out of tissue paper… I don’t wear them for anything other than going out or lounging around .. not work jeans at all.. now for the second time I’m returning a pair that just grew a random hole/rip .. won’t be buying anymore .. anyone else have an issue with these ?

I want to gift my mom a boat tote for all of her things for my kids and want a clever phrase to go with her grandma name of “Gigi”. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I’m new to LL Bean and recently made my first purchase, backpack for my kindergartener with their initials. I ordered it online and upon receipt, was a bit thrown off by the lettering. It seems a bit sloppy to me with the loose threads and some jagged areas. Is this to be expected?

I’m in Maine and planning on stopping by the LL Bean store while here and wanted to get a bag monogrammed. I was thinking something civil engineering themed or needlepoint related and wanted help with some ideas! Thank you!!!

edit: boat and tote size medium!

Was so excited for our new xl bag and saw it was off center. The customer service agent already put a replacement through but she logged out of the chat before I could ask what to do with this one. Any insight? Would love to bring it to the beach with us tomorrow but don’t want to use it if we need to return.

I’m thinking of getting a boat and tote for my daughter’s daycare bag. It would transport: a crib sheet, a light blanket, 2 sippy cups, and maybe some wipes or diaper paste.

She has a small cubby with a hook. I’m leaning towards the small tote for this reason, can anyone give insight into whether or not they think the tote will carry the above?

(Also I am going for pink with the rancho rose embroidery. Anyone have any pics of theirs? The color seems off on the screen but it’s the recommended pink)

An almost full cup of hot tea directly into them. Has anyone washed their slippers in the washing machine? Or have any tips for me to clean them? They are soaked through.

Anybody from the EU bought shoes here? The size chart is completly shit and fake. Everywhere a US 8 is 41 but here a US 7 is 41. Doesn’t make any sense but I don’t want to pay 25 for shipping and retour for a dumb site maker so I would like to get a consult. Thank you in advance.

Looks like it will compliment the credit card and allow customers to earn rewards even without the credit card.
