The LL Bean jacket is called a boiled wool jacket. They were originally from Austria. Really warm, which is why I only get to wear mine once or twice a year here in South Texas! Happy New Year 🎉

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for the info! It definitely feels like it would keep one warm

[@joannarisbey319]

As soon as I saw it I said sound of music

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

yup ... came here to say that ... boiled wool.

[@amybrault-alowlandscott]

Hi I'm from Connecticut and I have always known it to be Cold Water Wool......

[@TheAccidentalViking]

*waves from Norway! Yes, boiled wool. I have one in a dark blue made here in Norway. Very warm and very well used. We woke up to a balmy -13C today (8.6F).

Love the frog squirt gun. Funny and fun.

[@1HonestAbe]

Blue Bins in my area separate the ' types of items '. All hardback and paperback books... . 15 cents each. There are people who do nothing but books and scan book after book. That is their only interest. Hardware (non-clothing) have their own rows, 2 total. When they say " Go " after they are all in place...a roar goes up from the thrashing and tossing... pure madness. Clothes all separate get about 9 rows of bins. In a rather moderate climate here so don't get specific ' winter weather '. Bins are filled with all kinds of cooler weather clothing now. I'm finding LOTS of Columbia brand clothing to sell. Champion, Nike, Addidas, Fila, LL. Bean, Lands End etc. Picked up a Michael Kors jacket a few weeks back. If you were digging for kids clothes for your kids someone would toss it aside because it's not what THEY were looking for. So just because the bin has gone thru... like Renee said...look anyway.

[@amyweaver7413]

The bins are very hit and miss in my area too. By the way, your hair grew out really nice and looks especially good today. You held out from cutting it and it paid off.😊

[@kathybarnett1905]

Agree

[@mariansinger9003]

The LL Bean is a boiled wool jacket. They were very popular in the 1980s. They somewhat lean "German" in style - can be worn with dirdinal skirts or lederhosen.

[@lesliebrayton8016]

Don’t ever buy a tote! Your friend Taco Stacks has plenty!

[@carolineloeser3071]

Always a pleasure, seeking treasures. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@stephenritz5581]

A couple good finds and sounds like you managed to have fun with it regardless (Puppets & corn!). Would be too much anxiety for me. People gripe about one-handed digging? Everyone should have such problems! LL Bean cardigans were all the rage when I was at school in New England in the 80s. The really popular ones were navy blue with small white snowflakes (I guess that's what they were). They were extremely warm & I couldn't wear mine often (I got overheated & wool gives me the willies). I would think anything LL Bean would sell well. Nasty, cold, sometimes heavy rain here today. Are you getting snow? Have a great Saturday afternoon & weekend!

[@PaperandMoose]

It is currently snowing & looks rather pretty outside! I'll head out late tonight to do the first pass at shoveling. I enjoy shoveling when it's quiet out and no one is outside to bother me :0) We are expecting anywhere between 3-8 inches, so we'll see how it goes! I'm the same with wool. Wool scarves look so warm but once it touches my neck, nope! To wear a wool sweater, I'd have to wear a turtleneck underneath, so no parts of the sweater touch me. Funny how some fabrics are like that!

[@samanthab1923]

I just said that! People love vintage LL Bean flannels especially

[@AmyLowe-Smith]

Happy to see you try the bins again. Been meaning to tell you I love your hair this length!!

"When new bins come out, it´s like a rat race !" 😃Well said, and I never would have thought that there are certain rules before you will be able to crawl through the bins. No such institution over here, just some "Soziales Kaufhaus" stores which can be compared to Goodwill. Hopefully you picked up the can of corn if it wasn´t expired, I love it ! 😉The wool jacket is called "Janker" or "Trachtenjanker" over here, for just a few bucks an absolute bargain. Hope you are feeling much better now, and have a great and relaxing weekend ! 🍵Greets from GER, U.

[@PaperandMoose]

Feeling much better! Just the slightest bit of congestion left, but feeling pretty much "back to normal". Oh yes, bin rules! One month you could be allowed to stand by the new bins as they are brought out. Another month one might have to stand on the other side of the store as they bring out new bins. Sometimes there are even rules about shopping carts! The corn most likely was 16ounces, so that would have cost me $1.89. That is not cheaper than the grocery store haha :0) At least they had it on the shelf versus somehow being in the bin and erupting! Snowing here and I'm ready for it! Lots of work to get done and chili is in the crockpot. Let it snow!

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMoose Chili from the crockpot ?! Sounds delicious ! It´s getting colder here, and we also got a little bit of snow, but not that much. Parts of Lower Saxony are instead suffering under flood issues due to tons of rain during the past couple of weeks.

[@kathybarnett1905]

Every region of GW . Does / handle these and other things very differently. My region ( mid Indiana) no longer does half price colors or senior discounts.

A duster is a light cotton button down coat/ apron for a housewife to wear over day cloths while house cleaning.

[@gailcathey5642]

That is correct but the term was/is also used for two other things , the cowboy long coat like in the J. Peterman catalogs and worn by Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman on TV AND the coverings worn in the early days riding around in open automobiles on dusty, dirt roads

[@kathybarnett1905]

Thanks for the video Renee... i appreciate your time and information. I totally get the hold to aim camera thing. From what i can tell different reqions " bin" / deals/ layout/ pricing vary from region to region. I wish other observers here would realize that.

[@alanbirkner1958]

I went to a different Goodwill last week- nicer area- better craft items than my local one. I do lots of crafts, so I was happy. Have fun. Tina, Al's wife

[@schamblin45]

Fun adventure, again today. Be careful of the weather that's coming, though. It's been snowing here all day, and we have several inches!

[@karenhallinan142]

Usually when a coat has a wool lining , it doesn’t have buttons . I have only seen zippers.Great find !

[@TheCar1ter]

Well you didn't get a lot, but you got out got some fresh air and did what you like doing. And you sound better than the last time I seen you, great video and and insight to your filming process😊

I need to take a field trip to the bins. Mine is about 90 minutes away too. Have to make sure to at least find a good lunch spot nearby in case the pickings are slim.

[@user-bz4qx7vw9h]

Great video. You always make it fun. I have never been to the bins, but I have enjoyed many KZbin videos featuring the bins. The bins scare me & make me sad, although nothing sounds better than a can of Goodwill corn while waiting for a snowstorm. So gross. The LL Bean jacket is a great vintage find.

[@samanthab1923]

Haven’t seen those Austrian jackets since my prep school days ❤

[@user-bz4qx7vw9h]

I live in New England. Boiled wool was big around here especially when I was in high school. It was part of the "uniform" along with Eastland Falmouth oxfords, slouch socks, cuffed jeans, & Benetton sweaters. I was anti boiled wool at the time. Now I live in it. Warm & cozy.@@samanthab1923

[@OriginalNethead]

09:43 Trachten? That wool with metal buttons is something I'm used to seeing coming from Austria. Maria Von Trapp had a brown jacket like that in the Sound of Music. As someone else said - boiled wool. I went to an Ill Will and a Sally today. Spent under $20 between the two of them. The high dollar item was a framed sheet of Forever stamps. Stamps for under face value? I'm on that!

[@justinottenbacher8369]

Hey Renee, I'll bet your frog aficionado friend would really dig that 🐸 squirtgun. P.S. there's a hidden pun in there from vintage advertising, see if you can spot it. 😂

What fun, to see you digging through the bins again. You certainly look like you're having fun. I'm glad you found some good stuff. I hope the rest of the year ahead is just as rewarding. Looking forward to another great year of treasure hunting with my favorite hunter ❤

[@henrys3629]

Ha, I knew it. You went with Taco. I got a near complete Home Alone Lego set, but someone grabbed the mini figs a few seconds before. It retails near $300! And it cost $20 in weight! 2.79 @lb. Boo! One guy leaped over 3 people to grab a metal detector. We already agreed the middle guy got it and out of nowhere....... some dude leaped in. Same here. Suitcases and empty totes.

[@PaperandMoose]

I just looked up the Home Alone Lego... wow! Was it in a tote or all in the original box? What a shame about the mini figs. Wonder when our bins will get up to $2.79lb. I think people will still buy, but perhaps not at the large quantity that some do. As for the metal detector, that must have been a sight watching the person leap for it! Haha The things we see at the bins!

[@henrys3629]

@@PaperandMoose Not in a tote, and it was mostly built too. How they missed that one? I don't know.

Hello Renee. So you finally got to the bins cool. I love watching your videos from the bins. It’s crazy how many suitcases were there. I wish I could go to the ones in Indiana but it’s just to far of a drive and I’m not up for driving so far and I don’t know the place I’m going. That would set off a panic attack and I’m good with not going through that . The squirt gun is really cool . I’ve never seen a frog one before. Take care and enjoy your weekend and be careful in that snow. 🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

I hear you on the driving and not knowing where you are going! Every time I go to this location, my GPS takes me a different way. How it does that, I have no idea. I'll even chose to avoid backroads and somehow I end up driving on roads I haven't seen before. Sometimes technology is silly! Hope that your Saturday went well!

That was a lovely presentation, Renee, really enjoyed it. Pity you didn't snag the puppets you mentioned- would have liked to have seen those, but the ‘frog gun’ was quirky. Strange. But quirky…..

[@PaperandMoose]

The puppets were probably about 3 feet tall and almost looked like a homemade Bert & Ernie but in different colors. They were pretty neat!

[@carolchidlow4798]

You are so right about Christmas items. I had to do a lot of shifting and moving to get my Christmas stuff out in my small booth mainly because I went through four totes of my own personal items, only kept one table runner, grouped, cleaned, priced reasonably and put out at my antique mall booth. I have been selling the heck out of this and I'm hoping to keep this spot for Christmas all year long. Some of our vendors keep theirs up all year and some even rent a separate booth just for their Christmas. Can't afford that. I've sold all but two of my nativity sets last month so it's off to the hunt now that the season is over. The thrift shops will have the sales this week. My little local one had what Christmas items they had in a FREE bin. Not much though. I did get a few things. One of the clerks told me that they still had about 50 totes of Christmas that they never got out. That's sad. I would have come and helped them if they called. It's rained every Saturday lately so the flea markets are deserted. We are getting the bottom of the storms you are getting. Good luck at the bins, wish we had one nearby.

[@PaperandMoose]

Oh wow, 50 totes of Christmas?? Will they hold onto them until next year? My Goodwill store keeps holiday out all year round now, but the shelves don't fill up until the actual holiday season. Glad that you had some great sales with your Christmas items!

[@joniferris8869]

Renee, that frog water gun is very cute. There is a animal one online, a Walt Disney Dumbo one that is very similar to the frog one that you have, and it is $40!

Great little haul there Rene! I haven't been to my local SoCal bins since right before the pandemic started, it was approx $1.75 a pound back then. I looked it up recently because I've been wanting to go back and the price has nearly doubled at $3.00 per pound which is INSANE to me. Not even sure if it's still worth it at that price.
