My wife had 3 LE ladies Oxford shirts for many years. She felt like she was extravagant and needed prodding from me to get them. They were great, but over time, one got a rip and another got bleach splashed on it. Anyway, I got her to buy 3 similar ones recently. They were more expensive and quality is just not there.
Likewise, online, she bought a pair of boots and a pair of shoes. Same size. One fit and one was way too tight. Fortunately, as returns, one can take them to Sears.
Incidentally, it is rumored that Sears Holding (which is also K-Mart) is getting ready to IPO or spin off Lands End. Eddy Lampert, the top dog, may be a money guy he's but no retailer.
LL Bean may be a better bet, China manufacturing notwithstanding. But, we don't get that much from them to be good judges.
