Why it's buy-it-for-life
Older pairs and the insulated flannel jammies are still praised for warmth and years of use, but multiple recent buyers report disintegrating waistbands and tears within a couple of years, alongside the brand's discontinued warranty and offshored manufacturing.

LL Bean went to shit—it’s honestly just sad at this point.

LL Bean was actually a close second, and I keep two pairs of their insulated jammies around because VF doesn't offer anything like that and they're just so incredibly warm on the coldest winter days.
ll bean flannel pants from 2023 with disintegrating waist band and lots of random tears and holes.
LL Bean has not been in ages.
I ended up repairing the LL bean ones but it was an extensive and time consuming repair.
It has bee shocking how quickly LLBean has gone from a beloved company making BIFL products to one that is basically one notch above Temu.
hasn’t been American made nor durable for a while.
have been super disappointed with the quality compared to my old robe (bought ~11 years ago)
