Land's End Catalogue honoring Gloria Steinem (Vanity)

Catalogue | 23 Feb 2016 | Me

Got my spring catalogue from Land's End in the mail tonight to be met w/ a whole section starting a "Legend Series" by the CEO, Frederica Marchionni, "honoring individuals who have made a difference ...in the world at large. We honor them and thank them for paving the way for the many who follow." I love Land's End, this breaks my heart, just called to complain, will boycott until CEO is fired....JC Penney, anyone?

The Lands End blue collar shirt is unbeatable anywhere for any price for length of wear and value. They have been a good source for years. Sorry to hear they have gone around the bend like this. Oh well. There’s always LL Bean.

LL Bean.

[matginzac]

Gotcha.....pass it on to anyone you know who cares about this stuff...

If I were CEO of a company I would not honor people, I would observe historical events or things.
Good grief...acknowledge medical breakthroughs, or transoceanic flight, sports achievements, or anything else pretty innocuous.
How many more shirts, blouses, slacks, skirts, and sweaters will they sell by seizing upon a polarizing topic? Seems silly.

J.C. Penney can’t meet Land’s End quality.

I loved that stuff-—and the local Sears has a small Land’s End shop inside.

Use LL Bean——and they donate to Repubs.

If you’re honoring Gloria Steinem, it’s definitely the end of something...probably your business.

Brooks Brothers makes great shirts.

LL Bean has superior quality and a great return policy.

I commented on their Facebook and twitter pages yesterday. The Facebook comments are awesome. Parents of kids in parochial schools and pro-lifers are voicing their disappointment. My husband also called them yesterday. I was really rattled by this and their need to go political in a clothing catalog, helping to fund the ERA, and highlighting someone who is so polarizing. I have spent so much money at their website and at Sears. My husband is tall and thin and I can't find clothes for him by just walking into Penney's and buying it off the rack.

Never bought from Land’s End and now I never will.

[matginzac]

Amen...and you should READ this suck-up, what an icon you are....interview....totally barf worthy...

[matginzac]

I do use LLBean....I used to buy from both...not anymore...

[jessduntno]

“Brooks Brothers makes great shirts.”

I don’t need that kind of fancy. Just real good durability. BB has gotten really expensive...Burberry Blazer over one and an LL Bean looks great. Burberry isn’t cheap wither, but you clean up pretty nice in them if you have to. Pair of gray slacks and a nice red tie, you can go to lunch at the Harvard club...hahahahaha.

Sorry, meant to add that JC Penney used Ellen Degenerate and “gay” couples in their ads for awhile ...
Then they promptly tanked...
Hence the JCP reference...

[matginzac]

Have many in the closet...hope they aren’t fans of Al Sharpton

[matginzac]

As I said, this has broken my heart!
Won’t go back until Frederica is fired.

[matginzac]

The BB outlet store is the only one I buy at...

[jessduntno]

Good stuff, no doubt about it. It’s all hand made here, too.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Now I remember why I stopped buying Land’s End stuff.
