This subject comes up periodically and it is a complete mystery why anyone cares. There is a big North Face store in Beverly Hills, right across from Nate & Al's on Beverly and it is a great place to wander into and try on jackets,gloves, etc. without being bothered. There is also a big Patagonia store in Venice on Main. If it wasn't for all the people who buy their clothes, those stores wouldn't be there and the companies would have less money for R&D. If you don't like seeing a down jacket in some trendy color, don't buy it.

I'm glad REI sells clothes by the containerload. Without selling tons of clothes that never get returned, how long do you think they would keep their "no questions asked" return policy? Go to the scratch and dent sale-the returns are almost all camping or sports gear. Clothes pay the bills, earn the profits and enable stores like REI to stock items with a smaller margin and fewer sales.
