We’ve seen Batmobiles and dog mobiles like the one from Dumb and Dumber, but a L.L. Bean bootmobile? Well, it happened as part of the iconic US retailer’s 100 year anniversary and now here is a look at it. Check the video to see how it came to be!

Calling on Rogues Gallery designer Alex Carleton (the brands first creative collaborator in their 99-year history), L.L. Bean reinterprets the OG 1912 Duck Boot as part of the new L.L. Bean Signature collection. Retaining the original silhouette and rubber bottom, Alex switched out the standard leather upper for a worn-in waxed cotton – bringing a bit of street flavor to the New England classic.

Hit the jump for a closer look at the L.L. Bean Signature 1912 Duck Boot.

Michael Williams reports in at GQ on an incredible sweater from L.L. Bean’s 96-year-old archives. “Made out of unscoured wool (which is naturally water-resistant), it’s just as warm and durable as it was when sported by seafarers decades ago—and style-wise it’s tough to go wrong here, whether your tastes tend toward the urban haute bourgeoisie or something more like Richard Proenneke’s “Alone in the Wilderness”. Available here.

Added bonus: 1965 and 1980 catalog scans after the jump.
