Both my winter puffer coats are Eddie Bauer and they've lasted for many years. I also have a couple of vneck t-shirts from them that have held up well over time. I've always liked their quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1/page/2#post-2406566 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 17:06:57 +0000 JAileen 2406566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I’m sad, too. &nbsp;They changed, but not enough, I guess. &nbsp;I always wished I were tall, especially at parades. &nbsp;Friends who are tall, though, complain about too short pants and too short sleeves. &nbsp;Maybe if they had shopped at EB, this wouldn’t have happened. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1/page/2#post-2406552 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:57:25 +0000 Angie 2406552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I care, and it makes me sad :(</p> <p>Good store for a specific fit and style. They do TALLS well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1/page/2#post-2406543 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 03:14:57 +0000 JAileen 2406543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, I guess I’m not the only one who will miss them. &nbsp;I also have a nice lightweight softshell jacket from EB. &nbsp;This is the kind of thing I really like - nice quality but not too precious,</p> <p>Indigoprint, yes, they have nice clothes for an everyday casual life like mine. &nbsp;I hope their online offerings won’t change too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1/page/2#post-2406541 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 02:46:17 +0000 Indigoprint 2406541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have many EB items and considered them a reliable source for stylish, practical lifestyle clothing, jeans, flannel shirts, sweaters and especially their "sleep sweaters". I have 3 turtle necks and a cardigan that are in constant rotation from September to May . So yes am sad to know they are in difficult times </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406540 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 02:27:50 +0000 Karie 2406540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I shop there a lot, we have a store locally and it’s wear I buy most of my hiking gear. I was very sad to hear that they are closing all their stores. I heard they will operate on line only. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406534 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 21:37:50 +0000 JAileen 2406534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, that’s weird about the mirrors. &nbsp;When I was in college my father gave all of us EB chamois shirts. &nbsp;They were very heavy camel colored flannel. That was the first I had heard of EB. &nbsp;Then, my mother started giving all of us either sweaters or plaid flannel shirts for Christmas, both very nice quality.</p> <div><br /></div><div>For me, Patagonia is about function and quality, &nbsp;North Face less so. &nbsp;They seem to care more about fashion. &nbsp;My husband got me wearing Tilley hats. &nbsp;I always joke that the growth industry here is skin cancer removal, so I really appreciate them. &nbsp;I even have a wool one I’ve been wearing this winter.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406530 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 20:47:32 +0000 Jules 2406530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t felt the same about them since they discontinued my favourite backpack in 1995 or so, lol!<br /> I do have a raincoat and generally thought about them as somewhere to look for gear (raincoats, puffers) that would be affordable, practical and MAYBE just stylish enough or at least available in a colour or two other than black and the prevailing neutral tan or grey. But with the exception of the raincoat I usually found something better elsewhere, if often at a higher price point. It’s also interesting that brands like Patagonia, North Face and Tilleys are enjoying some resurgence with the younger generations. So I might conclude EB didn’t evolve along with me or keep up with the youth.<br /> Last time I went into a store it had tons of stock, including coats and hats, but no mirrors. I had to go to the crowded change room waiting area in back just to see what a jacket and hat looked like on. I found it so odd and off putting! Let a woman impulse buy a hat without a trip to the change room! I have become very persnickety indeed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406525 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:15:24 +0000 JAileen 2406525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, that’s unconscionable, not telling the employees what’s going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406523 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 17:27:14 +0000 AJ 2406523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday, I was at an EB store at our outlet mall. They were having a closing sale. As I was in the dressing room, I overheard an employee talking to another customer. Yes, they are closing all stores but another company will handle their online sales.<br /> The employee mentioned that they were not told about the closings. They all had to find out from reading the news. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406520 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 15:36:17 +0000 JAileen 2406520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim Cat, I hope that they survive somehow, even if it’s just as a brand at Kohl’s.</p> <p>Robin, I seldom shop at the mall at all, except to return or exchange things. &nbsp;My husband gave me some jewelry for our anniversary, and we had to exchange it. &nbsp;It was a local store at the mall that I had never seen before. &nbsp;I wondered how he even found it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406515 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 13:52:13 +0000 RobinF 2406515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to shop there but seldom bought anything and now it has been a long time since I shopped there. I always hate to see a store close though. Retail is definitely going through some changes. Hard to say how it will end up.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406506 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 05:12:28 +0000 slim cat 2406506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to get things from EB when I was in Seattle - still got necklace from that them ( quite lovely ). It's a bit sad that they didn't adapt well enough to the current times of on-line shopping ;-( &nbsp;. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406492 Sun, 15 Feb 2026 21:59:40 +0000 JAileen 2406492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roberta, after I was an adult, my mother used to give all of us things from EB. &nbsp;Sons and son-in-law got plaid flannel shirts, and daughter and daughters-in-law got sweaters. &nbsp;I wore the sweaters for years. &nbsp;They were lovely all wool Fair Isle. &nbsp;Recently I looked at the sweaters on EB’s website and they were mostly cotton blends. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406485 Sun, 15 Feb 2026 17:59:21 +0000 Roberta 2406485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own a good chunk of Eddie Bauer; sweaters, shorts, and a pair of pants. I can find the sweaters second hand quite easily now. I bought multiple pairs of the shorts, so they should last me a good long time. The store in our mall closed this year, but we still have an outlet store nearby. It seems to carry pretty much the same things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406480 Sun, 15 Feb 2026 16:42:43 +0000 JAileen 2406480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, maybe EB will become a brand rather than a store. &nbsp;Then it would just be a matter of finding out who carries the brand, like Kohl’s does in our area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406474 Sun, 15 Feb 2026 14:37:56 +0000 Carla 2406474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>JAileen&nbsp;</b>- I actually went back to the store to get another pair of those corduroys or a denim pair (if they had them) because the fit is perfect for my body, and I liked the patch pocket detail.</p> <p>They were sold out in my size online - then gone. &nbsp;There were 4 pair in the store, but not in my size. &nbsp;I’m thinking the style and colour-ways might have been a one-off seasonal offering, and not a part of their regular line. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>The corduroy offering were good this year. &nbsp;DH picked up two pair during our original shopping trip back in December.</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406462 Sun, 15 Feb 2026 05:15:32 +0000 JAileen 2406462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, those pants have been a good addition to your wardrobe. &nbsp;Were you looking for another pair? &nbsp;I just looked on Kohl’s website, and there were no EB corduroy pants.</p> <p>I found this article with a list of store closings. &nbsp;Our local store isn’t on the list. &nbsp;This must be a mistake because the article says all stores are going to close. &nbsp;If everything is closing, why bother listing each location? &nbsp;That makes no sense.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.inc.com/fast-company-2/eddie-bauer-close-all-us-canada-stores-bankruptcy-full-list-locations/91302578">https://www.inc.com/fast-compa.....list-locat</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406461 Sun, 15 Feb 2026 04:17:25 +0000 Carla 2406461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH and the two DS’s have a bit of Eddie Bauer, including really good raincoats that they were able to get in ‘tall’. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>One of my most recent purchases was from EB - corduroys in a sea glass colour (see Finds). &nbsp;I went back to the store 3 weeks ago, and they were down to 6 racks of deeply discounted items. &nbsp;Clearing things out, and closing the store.

I haven't shopped there for several years. I got out of the habit when a few circumstances collided: The EB store where I liked to shop was in a mall that closed. There is another, smaller EB nearby, but it seemed to carry more gear than street wear. Then I noticed a shift in styles they offered online, too, so I stopped looking. I will miss them if they disappear, though; it's one of my go-to sources for tees for DH, who wears a M/Tall, which EB carried online.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406444 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 23:22:33 +0000 JAileen 2406444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen, I didn’t know EB was available at Kohl’s. &nbsp;I suppose that’s the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406443 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 23:03:18 +0000 karen23 2406443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I liked what they had in the stores, I kept my hopes up, but somehow hardly ever managed to snag anything that fit.&nbsp; &nbsp;The Eddie Bauer raincoat I got last year, I never saw it in the stores here.&nbsp; I ordered it online off the Kohl's web site.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406439 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 21:52:38 +0000 JAileen 2406439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan, back in the 90s, I had a lovely linen floral &nbsp;jumper with overalls hardware that I wore it to work. &nbsp;I haven’t seen anything like that in a long time. &nbsp;I bought one of their long parkas this winter. &nbsp;It’s very good for what it is, but it’s not good enough for our winter birding trips. &nbsp;When we went to Japan I took a long Patagonia parka. &nbsp;It was super warm and waterproof, too.<div><br />KKards, the article mentions the operator of the stores. &nbsp;Not the company. &nbsp;It sounds very odd to me. &nbsp;Does that sound normal to you?<div><br /></div><div>Dee, I agree. &nbsp;I guess I’m just kind of nostalgic for the old days.</div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406438 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 21:31:37 +0000 Dee 2406438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always sad to hear of a long time retailer closing down.

Between the pandemic changing/speeding up changes we already saw in shopping and the current situation with tariffs that had frankly upset many supply chains I expect more disruption and closures. I would expect that some one might buy the name but, but I’d be surprised if Eddie Bauer as it exists today will survive </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406419 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 20:49:55 +0000 Style Fan 2406419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband bought many of his clothes there when they had a large B&amp;M store in Toronto.&nbsp; He has a down parka from those days.&nbsp; He also has two lighter-weight coats.&nbsp; I used to buy outdoor clothes like parkas from Eddie Bauer in the 90s.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />It hasn't been the same in a long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406413 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 20:11:11 +0000 JAileen 2406413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cat, the private equity purchase must be when the tees stopped being all cotton. &nbsp;I think I'm wearing an all cotton one right now. &nbsp; I got my silk long underwear from my mother. &nbsp;I don’t know where she got it. &nbsp;The best long underwear I’ve ever had is from Patagonia. &nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa,&nbsp;I usually buy stuff online, but&nbsp;we were in the store recently. &nbsp;I was surprised to see <i>they were out of LS tees</i>. &nbsp;If I had thought about it at all, I might have guessed what was going on.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eddie-bauer-1#post-2406410 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 20:00:23 +0000 LJP 2406410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was one large store in the premium mall in Wpg, and it closed in December 2025 .
