ne Hi a . & rs wy <TR STAR aR Camp Shoes"; Spend me Evening With An L.L. Bean Catalogue By Joe Ruess \ There aren't many better ways to spend a cold winter evening than studying the latest catalogue from L, L. Bean of Freeport, Maine, outfitter of several generations of hunters, fishermen, and outdoorsmen. Bean's catalogue speaks a spicy, colloquial language of its own. In its pages are illustrated and described in New England prose such timeless items as “Bean's Chino Pant (singular), a long-wearing pant for camping and fishing”; “Bean's Sport Vest, a heavy wool vest with sleeves,’ and "Old Maine Trotter, stylish and comfortable footwear for ladies.” (My better half will give him an argument over that word "stylish.") —* Last we heard Mr. Bean was in his eighties and still giving his merchandise the test of his personal use as he pursues deer, ducks, and Atlantic salmon in season, making hisowncamp and cooking his own meals. As “L,L." hasgrown older, we have notedin his catalogue more itmes that have to do with creature com fort, such goodies as "Leather-coveredLambskin “Bean's Head Net, Anyone who has trouble with black flies and mosquitoes will appreciate this head net”; and “Bean's Bottle Holder, Holds a flask soit can be carried in glove compartment of car or tackle box without danger of breaking.“ (What mature hunter or fisherman would venture out into the wilds without his bottle of snake-bite medicine?) Bean has old-fashioned ideas about quality of materials and workmanship, unique in this useit-up-and-throw -it-away age of ours. Men don't mind paying a slight premium for this kind of merchandise as they treasure comfortable, well-broken in out-door clothing that they can dependupon. The ladies perhaps may be less enthusiastic about his offerings for the outdoorswoman which, let's faceit, are not styled in Paris. For our money, Bean could have rested onhis laurels after he came out with what he calls his “Maine Hunting Shoe, " more affectionately known to sportsmen as "Bean Boots". With soft leather uppers, rubber bottoms, and a ground-gripping soft rubber sole of unusual tread design, they are, we think, the ideal footwear for fishing a rocky stream, tramping through wet meadows, or waiting out the ducks in a cold, wet blind. Gls wore them in World War II and the Korean conflict, and they have been widely copied by other manufacturers. This winterlam wearing probably my ninth or tenth pair of them, which will be sent for new bottoms just before trout season opens next May. Old L.L. has yet to sell us on his “Knit Nightshirt, anew design in sleeping garments", or his "Portable Toilet, home-like comfort when you need it", but ‘we count among our ffidst“treasured possessions his “Combination Compass and Waterproof Match Box", his “Pocket FishKnife", and last but not least, a pair of his “Cross-Country Snowshoes".
