Eddie Bauer
Eddie Bauer is an American outdoor apparel and lifestyle brand founded in Seattle in 1920. The company became known for technical outerwear, down-insulated jackets, hiking clothing, casual apparel, backpacks, travel gear, footwear, and other outdoor products. Its heritage includes Eddie Bauer’s development of the first patented quilted down jacket, which helped establish the brand’s long-standing reputation in outdoor performance apparel.
Eddie Bauer’s current corporate structure is more complex than the older standalone Seattle-headquarters model. Authentic Brands Group owns the Eddie Bauer intellectual property, while different operating partners now manage different parts of the business. In January 2026, Authentic announced that Outdoor 5, LLC would take responsibility for U.S. and Canadian e-commerce, wholesale, product design, and development, while Catalyst Brands continues to operate Eddie Bauer retail and outlet stores in North America.
Because of this structure, Eddie Bauer should no longer be described simply as an independently headquartered Washington corporation. The brand maintains its historic Seattle connection and Catalyst Brands continues to have an office in Seattle, but the current U.S. Eddie Bauer website is legally operated by Outdoor 5, LLC, and its privacy policy lists 31 W. 34th Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10001 as a current contact address.
Eddie Bauer does not currently publish a separate universal corporate headquarters switchboard for the brand.

Eddie Bauer’s current Privacy Policy identifies Outdoor 5, LLC as the U.S. website operator and publishes this address.
Eddie Bauer was founded in:
Seattle, Washington
and for many years maintained its primary corporate identity in the Seattle metropolitan area.
When Authentic and SPARC announced the Eddie Bauer acquisition in 2021, they stated that Eddie Bauer would remain headquartered in the Seattle area.
After SPARC Group combined with JCPenney to create Catalyst Brands in 2025, Catalyst Brands stated that it was headquartered in Plano, Texas while maintaining offices in:
New York
Los Angeles
Seattle.
The Seattle office preserves an important operating connection to Eddie Bauer, but the current brand structure should not be represented as a simple standalone Seattle corporate headquarters.
Authentic Brands Group
Authentic owns Eddie Bauer’s intellectual property and manages the long-term brand strategy through licensing and operating partnerships.
Outdoor 5, LLC
Outdoor 5 manages:
U.S. and Canadian e-commerce
Wholesale
Design
Product development.
Catalyst Brands
Catalyst continues to operate Eddie Bauer’s physical retail and outlet stores in North America.
Catalyst Brands is headquartered in:
Plano, Texas
and also maintains offices in Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles.
Eddie Bauer was founded in:
1920

The brand is now more than 100 years old and continues to emphasize technical outdoor clothing, performance innovation, and Pacific Northwest heritage.
Customers may need to complain about an online order, return, refund, product quality, store employee, loyalty account, gift card, shipping problem, or another Eddie Bauer transaction. Because the current operating structure is divided between Outdoor 5 and Catalyst Brands, the correct escalation route depends on whether the matter concerns online shopping or a physical store.
Start by calling 888-680-5612 or emailing customerservice@eddiebauer.com. Provide the order number, purchase date, product description, tracking information, and a clear explanation of the problem. If the complaint involves damaged or incorrect merchandise, keep photographs and packaging available. Ask the representative to document the complaint and explain the available return, replacement, refund, or adjustment.
If the complaint involves an in-store purchase, store employee, fitting-room experience, local return, or another retail issue, contact the Eddie Bauer location directly and request the store manager. Physical stores are currently operated by Catalyst Brands, so store management is generally the best first escalation point. Keep the receipt, location, purchase date, and employee information where available.
If the first Customer Service interaction does not resolve the issue, contact Eddie Bauer again and request further review. Provide the earlier support history, order details, screenshots, photos, refund records, and any promises made by previous representatives. For Adventure Rewards issues, use the same verified support number, 888-680-5612.
For unresolved e-commerce or privacy-related matters, current Eddie Bauer policies identify Outdoor 5, LLC / Eddie Bauer, 31 W. 34th Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10001 as the current U.S. contact address. Include your name, order information, complaint history, dates, and copies of supporting documents. Do not send original receipts. Keep a copy and proof of delivery.
If the matter remains unresolved, the correct outside channel depends on the complaint. Payment-card disputes may be raised with the card issuer, while general consumer complaints can be submitted to the applicable state Attorney General or consumer-protection office. Privacy-related matters may fall under state privacy regulators, and product-safety concerns may involve the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Preserve all receipts, correspondence, tracking records, photographs, and company responses before escalating.
