A Great Outdoor Coat By Candida Eittreim on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
A good looking rugged yet stylish coat is hard to find. If they are stylish, then they often lack warmth or durability. A high quality midweight jacket or coat is a prize to be treasured. I found mine at LL Bean, outdoor clothing specialists since 1912. It has morphed into a 1.5 billion dollar company located in Freeport Maine.
When I spotted this Legacy riding coat, I was impressed by the detailing. From its quilted moleskin outer shell, and ultrasuede collar and cuffs, including a shoulder "gun" patch, it is a handsome piece of clothing. The inner lining is plaid wool flannel over a layer of Gore-tex for warmth without weight. It is specially treated to waterproof the shell, and offers two inside pockets, plus 4 outer pockets to carry all your needed items.
LL Bean offers this coat in British Khaki, Coal and Mountain Pine. It is on sale for an unbelievable $99.00, until they run out. Since they offer a 100% guarantee on everything they sell, you can't go wrong with this sturdy attractive coat. They also offer this as a jacket for $89.00. If you love the outdoors and need a good midweight durable coat give this Legacy Riding Coat or the jacket a try. It will quickly become the most grabbed item in your wardrobe for those blustery Fall days.

I think I should look into one of these for myself :)
I know I would like this coat. L.L. Bean has such great stuff!
gun patch? i hope you dont put it to use!
Wow...sounds really nice. LL Bean always has really nice clothes. :-)
Sounds like a great coat, I am going to check my catalog I missed this
Debbie, I think temporarily they are only selling the jacket right now. The only difference is in length. I'm amazed at how this coat cuts the windchill down, and at the comfortable fit. I bought this at their Tuesday sale, where I snagged one for $49.00! Not bad since it retailed for $299.00
This sounds like a favorite coat of yours. Congrats on getting it on sale too. I love their clothing. I will see if I can find one still on sale for next year. Don't need a coat here anymore it's spring!
I would love to find a deal like that! It sounds like a coat I would like to add to my wardrobe.
I love LL bean great quality but they still have not totally jacked up thier prices. I also like to shop a catalog from the comfort of my own home. I bet this coat looks great on you.
I really love LL Bean. My husband keeps telling me I need to get a new coat so I will just tell him to buy me this one =-) We have a lot of windy days here and this would really come in handy! Great information on this!
