Thanks @Flightengineer! The older LL Bean stuff was really well made. This jacket has thick sheepskin lining (super warm!), real mouton fur collar, wool knit cuffs & waistband and thick goatskin leather. It appears very dark brown (almost black) when it’s overcast and cloudy but under brighter lighting conditions it shows it’s real color: dark seal brown with brown knits.Thor, beautiful color of cuffs and waistband on the first photo of your jacket! Looks like on m422 period, despite the fact that this is LL Bean.
You can find these 20-Year old sheepskin-lined LL Bean jackets on eBay for around $100 (sometimes less), making them a real bargain.
