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.
