Eddie Bauer

As far as clothing, it’s certainly not going to be your trendy fashion place. However, for quality this is your place. Eddie Bauer stands behind their products. Last July, I purchased a rolling duffel and it ripped this July. (Most likely from using it so much while traveling.) They replaced it, no questions asked.
The employees at this location are very friendly, kind and go out of their way to help you. I have never met a sales associate here that was rude or didn’t seem to care about the customer.
One of my favorite places to shop.

If you have a tall man in your life (or happen to be a tall man), this place rocks! I just left the store and already feel compelled to share.
Clearance is in the back of the store, and this is where the best deals are to be had. Eddie Bauer’s aesthetic on the muted, earth tone side regardless of season, so if you’re looking for a shirt, always start there– I can’t detect a difference. There has always been a large number of tall sizes available, which is unusual and can be hard to find. Sometimes it’s 50% off and sometimes 70%, but it’s always a good deal. Tonight, the very helpful and friendly check out person hooked me up with a free rewards card and a 15% education discount, bringing the total for the 4 men’s sweaters I bought to just over $ 70. She also mentioned sale items are returnable, in case you misjudge the preference of the tall man you’re purchasing the items for.
There’s a large selection of outdoor clothing, too, so if you’re planning a camping or hiking adventure, this would be great place to check for both activewear and small items like lanterns.

I’m not much of an outlet shopper, but I have to give this location credit for the two long clearance racks of men’s shirts in the back right quadrant of the store. The women’s clearance selection outnumbers the men by only about 2:1 rather than the usual 3 or 4. Unfortunately, of the collared shirts, about 80% are aggressive plaids and 18% are less aggressive plaids. And many are tall sizes. And every single one of them has a button-​down collar. So for 50% off, it was worth a look but they didn’t have anything for me. If I ever decide to relocate to a Maine cabin to write my opus, I will check back in here before I pack.
Strangely, on a Saturday afternoon, there were several employees working the floor, but only one harried clerk manning the cash register, where a queue of about six customers was lined up at the time that we came in.

First of all, I learned that the outlet stores do not carry the exact items as the regular stores. You can find similar items that are much less expensive. I was just in yesterday and they have nice men’s parkas with the 550 fill for $ 80 on sale! I bought a super thin 700 fill down ¾ length for $ 60– normally these are 150 – 200 dollars. The staff were extremely helpful. I had mentioned that earlier in the day, I bought a coat from the regular Eddie Bauer store downtown but needed to return it. I was just going to drive back downtown, but the associate asked if I had it with me– it was in the car. He said you can return regular items (including online purchases) to the outlet stores, which I found really surprising. They just mark it down and put it on the floor, so you might find new items form the regular store for much less. I’ll be back for sure!

Seriously, this place needs an extreme makeover. The place looks like it had been flooded like multiple times.
And also, the need an extreme customer service makeover as well… there are more employees than there are customers in the store — NOT ONE greeted me or offered to help me find anything.

The employees at this store will tell you if you ask — that all of the Eddie Bauer stuff they sell is «made for the outlet». And only two small racks of stuff at the very back is «real» EB stuff that was returned from their catalog sales. You can also tell by the labels on the exterior of all the pants and shirts. Real EB stuff has the name on the outside of the cloths item (where you like that or not). The made for outlet stuff does not exterior labels and is a low quality. I did not like shopping at this store.

This is the outlet store for Eddie Bauer. I usually will pop in here if I’m driving by to see what new things they may have gotten in. Prices are a lot less than the Mag Mile store. They always seem to have a few in-​season items that are decent. I’ve had luck finding decent pants and shirts here. My last visit here I picked up some sharp worsted wool pants for $ 7.99 marked down from $ 78.00. Everything is usually in some state of markdown, but when they do have sales on top of that, you can get some good bargains on high quality stuff.

I love the casual yet classic look. A great place to shop if you work in a business casual environment.
