I just got a new Land's End parka jacket...

And 4 shirts from them too.

Gift from a relative, due to Covid, the package took 2 months to get here.

But all of the items are super-comfortable, and really quality!

1. Good for you!! Merry Christmas!!

And Merry Christmas!

3. I live in a Red state, sending and getting a lot of mail to and from Red states. My mail gets ...

... to me in good time. I think there's still some "embedded" political pressure authoring some of it.

I also wonder if some companies that are late shipping stuff because of covid might be shifting the blame to USPO?

Did you get a look at the cancel date on the postage?

4. If you feel the need, you can send thank you card to

Louis DeJoy the United States Postmaster General for FINALLY getting your *%$*@ gifts to you in a timely manner, considering all the damage he has done to the USPS.

Enjoy the warmth.

5. I hope you like them.

You’ll be wearing them for a very, very long time. I am still wearing Lands’ End sweaters and jackets that I bought in the late 80s. They do make quality stuff.

9. I'm wearing a shirt right now from them...

Oooo...comfy!

10. Nice.

My husband and I both get flannel shirts from them.

I don't know if this is still the case, and I haven't tried it, but their customer service told me once that if I buy a shirt or something and it doesn't last as long as I think it should, they'll replace it even if it's 10 years old. Well, I have yet to wear anything out. Usually I end up getting tired of it and giving it away.

7. I'm still wearing a Land's End parka from 2001.

Cuffs are a little frayed but otherwise it's still fine!

8. While we're talking about clothes

I had to return some items to Amazon. You can do that now by going to Kohl's. If you do this, there's no charge for the return. Can't beat that. I did it for the first time in the fall, and I realized that this was probably a great deal for Kohl's, as they give a coupon for a Kohl's purchase, and you have to walk though the store to get to the Amazon returns desk. Back in the fall I though, hey, I'm not that gullible. Sure, I'll return stuff, but I'm not going to fall for the "buy some stuff while I'm there" idea.

So. . . the other day I dropped some items off, got my coupon, and headed out. Not so fast, I said to myself. I picked up two shirts, which were 50% off, plus I had my $5 coupon. So, two shirts that would have cost $72 cost about $30. I had never bought anything at Kohl's, which I gather is a relatively upscale - and better managed - version of JC Penney. Pretty happy with my purchases.

I haven't searched on google for how this is working for Kohl's, but if there are returns that I'm going to be charged for from Amazon, I'm heading to Kohl's to save a few bucks on the return, and, yes, I'll keep my eye on sales on the ways in and out.

11. Oh what parka did you get? I just got a big puffy one made of a fabric that supposedly

stretches and is SOOOO comfy! I was so happy to find it cos the inexplicable fashion for womens parkas at the moment is you need to be totally flat chested or it wont fit. Or if you get a size larger so the chest fits, then the rest of it flares out and it looks like youre carrying twins and the big air gap at the bottom lets in all the cold air.

Besisdes actually fitting, this one I got from LE has an added benefit of not being a cat hair magnet like some fabrics are.

12. This one.

I love it.

13. I'm still using the Land's End -30 degree parka I

bought 15 years ago. It has held up admirably. They don't make it any longer, though. Good quality stuff.
