Eddie Bauer additional 60% off clearance

Eddie Bauer has declared bankruptcy several times in the last 10 years so it is unsurprising that their warranty has changed and is no longer as generous. The quality of their clothing is also lower than it used to be. At one time, over half of my wardrobe came from EB, now I just have one pair of shorts (which I am wearing now actually), one shirt and my winter parka. The shorts and parka are over 20 years old. I don't think any of their current items would be as long lasting.

Personally, I would not buy any EB clothing that I did not see in person and try on.

Well, to be fair... it would be very tough to build a sustainable business model by selling clothing that lasts 20+ years.

This sale is a pattern with Eddie Bauer. Every week it's either 40-50% off regular price or 40-60% off clearance price. I haven't seen them have a no sale week. This reveals how retailer's exaggerate their mark up price and use sale percentage to attract compulsive buyers. Their manufacturing cost is low and at the same time quality have been dropping.

What brands do you depend on now? I always loved EB for the tall sizes so would be great to find other brands that do that.

I'm sorry to disagree but Eddie Bauer has NOT declared bankruptcy once let alone several times in the last ten years. They were sold out of bankruptcy in 2009. There was a time a couple years ago where they were to be sold but that fell through.

Thanks,
Jay

It runs smaller for me.

And to be fair, all retailers are struggling.
EB still is one of the best clothing store around.

I have an Eddie Bauer $10 rewards certificate (expires 9/28/2020) that I will not be using. Basically, $10 off anything at Eddie Bauer.

Yes, mine is the Evertherm jacket with the hood - the really thin down one. I'd say it fits true to size or perhaps a little bit smaller than normal. If you want to wear it as as your only layer, your true size is probably the best bet. If you want to wear a mid-layer and use this as your top layer, size up one size.

I fall between S and M (wait, that didn't sound right . . .) and tried both on in a store. I intended to use it as my only layer and for me both sizes were OK, but the small was a better fit for me.

Is this jacket suitable as a primary winter jacket in Calgary? Some reviews state it's not warm for low temperatures. Thanks in advance.

So I'm surprised they sprung that on you when you purchased the item on the promise of lifetime warranty and they promised to stand behind 110% on the products they sell. I hope they don't start playing the definition game of what constitutes lifetime warranty... I've always trusted them to honour their warranty and the quality of their products. I'm quite shocked to hear that you've been turned away with something as simple as a backpack.

I found (to my dismay) they also changed their product guarantee on their website and it's a lot more open-ended and open for interpretation to whatever they want rather than specifying a "lifetime warranty":

Yes, I believe they told me at the time that they had sent out some email notification and posted it on their website. Their regular priced stuff is really overpriced and follow suit with most major retailers these-days, crazy high prices with regular 40-50-60 percent off sales.

It depends on the outside temperature and your tolerance for cold, but you'd need another warmer jacket for those cold days we get sometimes. I can wear mine to down to about -10 but after that I switch to a parka. You could wear it in colder temps if you use something else as a mid-layer and this as the top layer. I will say that it is surprisingly warm considering how thin and light it is.

Between EverTherm Down Stretch Hoodie and MicroTherm 2.0 Down Hooded Jacket. Which will be more warmer? Which is a better pick ?

The evertherm has a higher temp rating so it should be warmer. From what I remember it's also lighter. I like the look more of the evertherm so it was my pick (still waiting on delivery).

It most likely won't be suitable for Canadian winter's, you'll want a proper parka. I'm in BC so it doesn't get too cold or snow much where I'm at. It'll be my fall/early winter jacket.

Thanks for the information !

No. You have get one that's windproof. That's the main problem with many of these jackets. Yeah, they have enough insulation, but the wind just cuts right through them.

This is the one I have:

This one is windproof. Works great for the weather here.

The parkas are very warm too, just very heavy.

I might be blind and can't find it on the website but can I return clearance items if it doesn't fit?

Just scroll down to the bottom of the home page and click on "Returns" and then click again on "Return Policy" to see their return policy.

Edit: Here's their return policy:

Return Policy
We want you to be a happy camper. If you're not, we'll make things right. You may return any product within one year of purchase. You will get a full refund in the original payment with proof of purchase.

On a more positive note, I've gotten quite a few compliments at work on the Voyager 2.0 Travel Blazer I got recently. https://www.eddiebauer.ca/p/13407854/me ... vel-blazer

I also quite enjoyed the Horizon Guide Pants. Though it's starting to pill in the butt area.

From limited experience shopping online with EB, I found their online shopping presence to be quite weak. Their main focus is on brick and mortar stores.

Way back many years, when EB items go on sale, you were really getting a deal since they came with a lifetime warranty as well as real quality to outlast anything -- that was seriously real value. I also have found their quality to be lacking lately and extremely inflated prices. Even sale prices are still very high and should be the "regular price". They have to be on clearance to be even worth considering, with the lack of quality these days. Plus their clearance racks aren't so good these days as well, unless you're an XL, XXL, XXXL size. It's so sad how the mighty have fallen.

Second that.
Have this jacket and its been a life saver during cold days. Just layer it and you should be warm.
