I’ve always thought this was such a great jacket style. Both minimalist and distinctively cool. I remember trying one on once, and the cuffs did seem very tight, not sure why LW does that on this jacket.
I say Yes. Especially because the jacket looks to be in such good condition. If you get it just the way you want it you can wear it for many many years.

They call these their “engineer boots,” which they used to make and sell on their own but then for several years made them for LL Bean. I am pretty sure they are out of production now, but many close-to-new pairs show up on the ebay, for anywhere from about $60 to $120. What size are you in...
To each his (or her or their) own of course, and I see why some are not fans of these higher slash pockets, but I like them! Certainly there's an aesthetic effect, just adding something a little extra to the design. But they are also functional -- I use the ones on my Dave Sheeley custom coat...
