Bean Boots, Then and Now
Commerce With a Conscience writes today about L.L. Bean's signature Bean Boots. After the site's founder Brad Bennett got his first pair in 1999, he's been sporting them every autumn and winter since. But it was time to replace them, so he decided to examine the difference between today's model and the one being sold a decade ago.
Amazingly, almost nothing about the boots has changed; aside from the updated eyelets, I haven't been able to spot a single difference between the old and new. For L.L.Bean to still be turning out the same product ... is a pretty remarkable thing.
