A vintage L.L.Bean khaki safari field jacket with a classic belted utility shape and easy outdoor-prep attitude. The color is a warm khaki / olive-tan neutral, making it one of those jackets that works with almost everything while still giving a look structure.
The jacket features a pointed collar, shoulder epaulets, front button closure, four flap pockets, button cuffs, and a matching self belt with metal buckle. The silhouette can be worn straight and relaxed, or cinched at the waist for more shape. It has that practical L.L.Bean feel, but styled over a bright Hawaiian shirt or with pleated trousers, it becomes much more editorial.
L.L.Bean is a heritage American outdoor brand founded in Freeport, Maine, known for durable, functional clothing with classic New England utility. This piece has the right vintage balance: safari jacket details, fieldwear function, and a clean enough shape to style into modern menswear.
Marked size 44. Based on Dean’s measurements and the visible fit, this best fits modern men’s L/XL, approximately 42/44–44 chest, depending on desired fit. On Dean, it fits relaxed through the shoulders, chest, and body, with the belt giving the waist adjustable shape.
Shown on Dean layered over a printed shirt with trousers and sunglasses. Listing is for the jacket only.

Marked size 44. Estimated modern fit is men’s L/XL, approximately 42/44–44 chest.
Shown on Dean, who is 6’2”, 170 lb, wears a men’s Medium shirt, 40L slim-fit suit, has a 40” chest, 36” sleeve, and 31/32” waist. On Dean, the jacket fits relaxed through the shoulders, chest, and body, with the belt cinching the waist. Best for a modern men’s Large to XL, or approximately a 42/44–44 chest depending on preferred fit.
The belt makes the waist adjustable, so the key fit points are shoulder width, chest ease, and sleeve length.
Condition
Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. The jacket presents well overall and has strong utility styling, but light surface wear, natural creasing, and small age-related marks are visible in the photos. Buttonholes, seams, cuffs, and pocket edges show normal vintage wear. No major structural flaws are visible in the photos. Please review photos carefully.
Styling Notes
Wear it belted over a printed Hawaiian shirt and pleated trousers for a sharp safari-meets-resort look, or style it open over a white tee, ribbed tank, denim shirt, lightweight knit, or button-down. It works with jeans, fatigues, cropped trousers, wide pleated pants, loafers, boots, or sneakers. The khaki tone pairs especially well with red, yellow, cream, black, denim blue, olive, brown, rust, and gray.
