1) all hunting boots are just like the best of boats, a compromise. My Maine Hunting shoes, bought in 1971, repaired and resoled for cheap money a couple of times, are still useful to me for some applications, but not so much for hunting.
2) in the old store one might see a piece of paper thumb-tacked to vertical surface describing a special feature of a product written by hand, signed "L. L. Bean", and plausibly done so by L. L. himself.
3) Even today's Filson catalogue will display hunting clothing without any gun in sight. I gave up on seeing a gun in Bean's catalogue long ago.
4) I admit to buying casual clothing from L. L. Bean today, as it sometimes offers what I want and can't find elsewhere.
