L.L. Bean is a iconic store in Maine. They sell a lot of quality stuff with lifetime garenties on their brand name merchandise.
That said a lot of there stuff is made overseas so you are supporting that when you buy from them.

I have always had good experiences with the actual store. Always plenty of associates around that are happy to help. I went there at a busy time (around the holidays) and had to wait in line for quite a long time but I would think normally that wouldn't be a problem. I had the gift I bought gift wrapped there for free as well.
