Kid who is running the new 'vintage' shop two streets away is expecting a consignment of clothing, including L.L.Bean.  Of course it won't all be USA made.  If he gets hold of their jeans they may well have been run up in Mexico. 
I might be utterly mistaken, but I think Kenny Lovegrove might have worn Bean when sitting around on the floor awaiting customers at Russell Street.  I rarely saw him in anything other than jeans, a pocket polo (navy, I think) and dirty bucks.  If anyone saw him in anything else please tell me what it was. 
I bought a couple of pairs in around, oh, 2010 I should think.  They came from some American seller on Ebay when buying that way was still cheap and practical.  One pair were for this time of year (small alteration done: a minimal cuff), the other were flannel-lined for winter.  The first pair got a major amount of use until I outgrew them, most often worn with an old USA-made Ralph Lauren polo shirt and my beloved Dexter bucks from the window at Russell Street.  (Jeff: 'You won't be wanting these...'  They were sunned).  So, I did a Kenny.  More or less. 
I've just bought another pair.  £12.  On Ebay.  Cheap and entirely utilitarian.  To be worn with bucks, loafers, sneakers or desert boots.  I have a choice of polo shirts (including USA-made Bean and Cross Creek).  A Russell Athletic sweatshirt would also do the trick. 
What I did note note in the new 'vintage' shop (or in any of the others I've been in recently) was any commitment to understatement.  Anything collegiate is defiantly so.  Work wear lets you know it's precisely that and nothing much more.  But these shops are not really selling 'Ivy League' - at least, not knowingly.
