L.L. Bean Signature Footwear and Watches Sneak Peek

If you needed another reason to follow L.L. Bean PR guru Laurie Brooks on Twitter, this picture was posted earlier today in reply to my inquiry regarding the suede blucher moccasins worn in the Gant by Michael Bastian showing.  From the looks of things it seems as if Alex Carleton is also bringing us some fine timepieces and a revamped Ranger moccasin (handsewn baby) as well.

  1. I just got some bluchers this summer. I wonder if they'll make suede camp mocs?

  3. I saw these on twitter as well! I was just about to order a pair of blucher mocs, but I think I'll have to wait until March.

  7. Have I slipped into some time-warped alternate universe? I've got the Bean blucher-like 3-eyelet chukka from college in the late 80's, and 5 or 6 genuine LLBean (made by Hamilton) field watches on ancient 1980's nylon straps in my watch box. Everyone asks me when I'm retiring my "out of style" shoes and getting a "decent" watch. Jokes on them, 'cuz I've already got 90% of the LLBean Signature line already in my closet...oh my oh my oh my!

  9. LAS - They come up on ebay from time to time. Search for LL Bean Field Watch. I have a manual wind LLBean with acrylic crystal made for them by Hamilton that I pretty much wear all the time. I also have 5 quartz LL Bean field watches all with mineral crystals. 3 have crown guards, two do not. One is manufactured by a French watch company with a chinese movement. All the others are Hamiltons. All have the same black face with 12 and 24 hour markings and sword hands. I think the most I paid for any of them was $80 or so.

  10. Buying a signature watch that was some time in the past worn by a celebrity is never an easy task. The first day you like the timepiece and intend on buying it, the next day you find out that the stock has gone empty. You can buy a replica rolex or a real rolex whichever you can afford to buy. There are various online stores that sell rolex online within affordable price range.

  11. Before selecting a fine timepiece for yourself, you need to do a little research over the internet. There are various watches available in all categories like classic or sports watches.

  12. There are a lot of well known brands these days that manufacture fine timepieces. Rolex and Omega both watch companies provide timepieces which follow simple yet impressive designs. Although, these watches are quite costly but you can find some offline as well as online stores who sell omega watches with good finance options.
