Ok, I'm gonna chime in here. I bought hubby a long sleeve jersey for Christmas last year and of all his jerseys, the LL Bean is his favorite. No elastic at the hem, it is wicking, ant-bacterial, and can be worn 3 seasons. The only down side to the jersey--if it's actually a negative thing--is the 1 large zip pocket in the back. The jersey drapes like a touring type jersey. I have the ladies high vis short sleeve jersey. At first I wasn't sure about the cap sleeves, but I've now bonded with it. It also has a flattering fit and style and none of that creep up from the bottom elasticized hem.I wore my high vis jersey with my yellow Hawaiian flowerdy skort today and I felt like a lightbulb on wheels.
If you wait closer to Christmas, LL Bean has some fantastic sales. They also sold the Bike Cube for the best price last year.

What is the "BIKE CUBE"? I'm feeling out of touch!

The Bike Cube is a neat storage system for toting your cycling stuff. Early this spring Terry offered a Cube made of recycled materials and lined with a flowerdy print but may have sold out.
I wish TE would carry it.

Thanks for the info, Sundial! There's a potential kink in my plans
The form stated the item had to come from either a store or the catalog. Does anyone know if LL Bean has the cycling stuff in their catalog (I know, I'm the last person on Earth to not get the Bean catalog
)? If they don't, I'm not sure what I'll get.

LL Bean had a nice pair of baggy bike shorts. The padding isn't as good as some high end ones, but I like to wear them whenever I know I will be going in someplace to eat.

You may have to contact them for a specialty biking catalog.

I wouldn't be surprised if they include the online catalog in the catalog category
Couldn't hurt to call and ask. Otherwise, I think they at least do an outdoor catelog, and I may have seen a bike one as well...

Ooooh, I love bending the rules here! "You just said 'catalog', you didn't specify which catalog!"
Did the same thing a few years back with my computer loan. You get up to $2000 to spend, and then it's taken out of your check over one or two years. Apparently I was the first person to ask if I could buy a laptop and desktop parts. They said no, it has to be for one machine, so I just loaded up on the best parts I could find and built a monster computer.
