30 years later and things are not the same.
"Fast Eddie", the guy who is slowly liquidating Sears and K-Mart,
has his hooks in Lands End since they are now part of Sears.
I don't buy anything from Lands End any more.
Do a search at LL Bean for light weight Ski Jackets. They are
imported,
but at least quality materials are used.
I just checked my last LL Bean purchase records and they were imported
from Portugal and appear to be decent quality. (Turtle neck, long
sleeve,
pull overs.)
Didn't check Eddie Bauer.
