FYI. FOR THOSE LIKE ME WHO OWN OR ARE THINKING OF BUYING AN OLDER USA MADE LL BEAN LEATHER A2 OR G1 STYLE JACKET THAT MAY NEED REPAIRS, LL BEAN HAS A REPAIR DEPARTMENT IN MAINE THAT WILL REPLACE ZIPPERS, LINERS, AND KNIT CUFFS AND WAIST BANDS FOR A VERY RESONABLE PRICE SO THERE IS NO NEED TO DISGARD YOUR OLD USA MADE JACKETS THAT, IMO, HAVE BETTER STYLING AND FIT THAN THE NEW ONES. YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY SHIPPING COSTS TO THEM AND THE COST OF THE PARTICULAR REPAIRS. I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $27 TO REPLACE THE ZIPPER ON MY OLDER FLYING TIGER A2 WHICH IS VERY RESONABLE. IF YOUR JACKET NEEDS NEW KNITS, THE REPLACEMENTS ARE NOT 100% WOOL BUT A WOOL BLEND AND ARE VERY REASONABLY PRICED AS WELL . CALL THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS AND PRICES. PHONE NUMBER IS ON THEIR WEBSITE AT llbean.com.
