Vintage L.L.Bean men\'s fleece-lined hunting and field shirtjacket, made in the USA and likely dating to the 1990s.Identified by its original GW52 style designation, thissubstantial outdoor garment combines a rugged tan cottonexterior with a soft, warm fleece interior and distinctiveolive green shooting-style reinforcements extending alongthe elbows and forearms. The combination of traditionalsporting details, American manufacturing, and practicallayered construction makes this an especially attractiveexample of vintage L.L.Bean outdoor clothing.
The shirt jacket features a durable woven cotton outershell in a classic tan or khaki color, complemented bya soft brushed fleece lining for additional warmth andcomfort. The original manufacturer\'s fiber content labelidentifies 100% polyester, consistent with the fleeceinterior. The heavier construction gives this garmenta more substantial feel than an ordinary button-downshirt, making it particularly suitable as a casualovershirt, lightweight jacket, or layering piece forcooler weather.
One of the most distinctive features is the pair oflarge contrasting olive green reinforcement patchesextending from the elbows toward the cuffs. Unlikeordinary small oval elbow patches, these elongatedshooting-style panels cover a substantial portionof the outer forearms and incorporate narrow tanfabric insets. Their unusual shape and contrastingcolors give the garment an unmistakable traditionalhunting and sporting character, reminiscent ofclassic American field clothing and Englishcountryside apparel.
The front features two generously sized chest pocketswith buttoned flaps and pleated construction, a fullbutton closure, and a traditional button-down pointcollar. Additional details include adjustable buttoncuffs, reinforced shoulder and sleeve seams, anda slightly curved shirttail hem. A small horizontalfabric reinforcement tab crosses the front buttonplacket below the chest pockets, adding anotherunusual detail to the garment\'s fieldwear construction.
The fleece-lined interior provides a comfortablelayer of insulation without the bulk of a conventionalheavy coat. The interior construction, contrastingcollar facing, substantial sleeve reinforcements,and practical pockets reflect the functionaloutdoor clothing for which L.L.Bean becameparticularly well known. The overall designcombines the appearance of a traditional fieldshirt with the warmth and utility of a lightweightshirt jacket.
