Is the "Asian stuff" designed in and ordered from the USA?

A Shame
Yes sir it is a shame,who is making the money on the Asian made goods? the manufacturer`s that`s who.The labor to make a pair of leather shoe`s in Asia is pennies an hr,the workmanship is inferior,it has become the throw away society.

I would like to assemble a collection of vintage LL Bean items. I have several but nothing all that interesting.

That would perhaps be easier to do around here. The Maine thrift stores are full of vintage Bean items. Brimfield antique fair has quite a bit as well.
BTW, their signature line did a pretty nice job of resurrecting some of these very items, like the shooting coat with mallards on it and the duck hunting coat. I see that occasionally at Bean outlets.
