Description

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 provided 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.

Styling / Cross-Sell Note

Styled with a printed shirt, trousers, sunglasses, jewelry, and accessories for shoot styling. Listing is for the jacket only unless otherwise stated.

Curation Note

Selected for its classic L.L.Bean heritage label, khaki safari jacket shape, adjustable belted waist, four-pocket utility layout, and easy styling range. It has the kind of practical vintage menswear foundation that becomes more interesting the more it is styled.

Authenticity Note

Interior label reads L.L.Bean Inc., Freeport, ME with marked size 44. Interior care label indicates professional dry clean only and a cotton/poly blend component. Era is estimated based on label design, construction, safari field jacket styling, button details, and overall late-20th-century L.L.Bean outerwear context.

Found an absolute gem of a Hawaiian shirt for my rehearsal dinner. Just head upstairs, go back in time, and enjoy yourself. Love this place and Melynda!!

One of the coolest places I’ve stumbled upon thus far. Unlike some other vintage stores where it feels like it’s full of marked-up Goodwill items, Melynda takes the time to research and select all the items she puts out in the store. When I stopped by, she even let me look through some items she hadn’t put out yet, and I found a really cool vintage Western button-up. The men’s section is not neglected either, full of some really cool shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other accessories. If you’re looking to find a unique piece in a friendly environment, this is the place for you.

My mom and I found the Peoples Free Boutique by Quirk after the fires devastated our neighborhood in Altadena. We've been building care boxes for an entire group of people, not just ourselves, and were welcomed into the space. It allowed us to recreate beautiful closets in a safe space, which has become harder to find as the relief efforts continue in the second wave. Very grateful for the energy and dedication that Melynda and her team of volunteers had shown to our community!! Go check out the Peoples Free Boutique on Spring St if you've been impacted by the fires they will help you rebuild and feel fabulous! If you weren't impacted by the fires but want to support Quirk for now you would message Melynda on Instagram to set up a shopping appointment! She's so dedicated to the relief efforts her store is still running by appointment only so she can keep the Free Boutique open! Love them!!!

So thankful for Quirk and their pop up for folks affected from the fires! I've been able to stop by a few times to pick up much needed items after losing my things from the fires. They offer everything from clothing, shoes, hygiene items, accessories, and you'll find a combination of brand new and gently used items. The volunteers are literally the sweetest and most helpful. It genuinely feels like a peaceful, fun, and productive shopping experience. So grateful for quirk and their pop up, strongly recommend.

Quirk for Fire Vicitms has been such a special place for me. I have found wonderful clothes to get myself started after losing my home in Pacific Palisades. The boutique is clean, organized and the volunteers are so kind and helpful. Melinda who runs has become my friend and I have run into other friends who lost their homes and met many new ones. 5 stars plus another 5 stars

My friends and I had a very pleasant and wonderful visit at Quirk. I got these beautiful snake skin shoes with a vintage neck scarf which i also fall in love with. I got compliments from people every time i wear them. I wanted to buy everything when I was there. There are jewelry, scarfs , shoes, dresses and the HATS. The price is very affordable so I was a happy shopper. The next best thing ( or the best ) about Quirk is the shop owner, Melynda. She is friendly and extremely helpful in helping you putting your dream outfits together and giving you advices when you needed them. She makes my shopping experience fun and comfortable. The shop is beautiful. I love the warmth and the openness of the shop. It stands out in the middle of the busy downtown LA streets. I will definitely come back and visit again when I come back to LA.

Quirk is a great place to rent or buy unique clothing. Melynda has curated such a great variety of items. I rented a gorgeous gown for a work event and bought multiple things including a vintage Italian suit that I get complimented on all the time. It is a wonder place to discover and elevate your personal style.
