Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

LL’s grandson, Leon A Gorman is the person most responsible for guiding the company into the modern age. He became President after LL’s death in 1967 and then Chairman of the Board, and later, Chairman Emeritus until his death in 2015.
Leon was highly respected and beloved. When he died, they closed the flagship store that day, the first time that had happened since 1967.
Although the business is approaching $2B in sales and will probably hit it by 2025, LLBean is still a private company and family held. Shawn Gorman, Leon’s nephew was named Chairman in 2013.
