(And so everyone knows I agree -- I'm wearing an organic tank top and yoga pants while I write this. C&C California.) When I browsed Eddie Bauer's website while writing this post, though, I was taken by how completely I was unable to differentiate their stuff from LLBean, or Talbots, etc... it seems that EB has joined the list of too many stores making really unremarkable clothing. As much as we hate on JCrew around here they've found a way to make women's tees different enough that I know people who probably have fifty of them in their dresser - a formula for shopper sensibility, no, but a formula for retail success, much better than selling the same v-neck eight of your competitors have.

They make stuff nobody wants. Tons and tons of chemically treated clothing (because it's cheaper to produce), instead of simple, natural stuff. We need more of these places to go out of business so that we get some stuff like it was made in the good old days. Most retailers have forgotten how make good clothes. They make stuff nobody wants.
