: : : Just recieved a reply from Lands End to my inquiry regarding the future of the Willis and Geiger clothing line, specifically, did Lands End plan to incorporate it into their clothing line. I received a very nice reply stating their senior management was currently considering the possibility, but no decision had been made yet. They thanked me, and said they would forward my email to the deciding parties for consideration. For anyone who now has or ever wanted the quality of the Willis and Geiger line I HIGHLY suggest you send an email to shoppers@landsend.com and let them know of your interest in seeing this line added to their catalog. If nothing is said at this time, I'm afraid we've seen the last of this great institution's clothing that harks back to the time of the great explorers and adventures, such as Indiana Jones, as Lands End won't do anything if they don't see a return in profits. Heads up forum! Regards. Michaelson

: Agreed, and doubled! I was VERY fortunate to be able to work out a trade with one of our fine forum members here and FINALLY acquired a balloon safari shirt. Abner, though you sang the praises of the clothing in past posts, the proof is in the ownership. This is the finest piece of work I've had the pleasure to wear (next to the Wested, of course), comfortable and functional to boot. If this is ANY indication of what we may have lost, it's a sad day indeed. Keep those cards and letters going in. This stuff was the REAL McCOY in terms of the clothing used and copied by everyone and their brother now. The door hasn't been closed yet. Regards. Michaelson

Yup, I have the Bush Poplin Bush shirt and it's a fantastic piece of work.

Cheers,
Abner
