Have you ever glanced at our catalog cover and noticed something out
of place or different? If you said the apostrophe, you're correct! A lot of people
ask why the apostrophe in Lands' End is in the wrong place. There have been some
pretty crazy explanations along the way, but the truth is, it was a mistake! It was
a printing error that rendered the company's name "Lands' End" with the
apostrophe in the wrong place. Since we couldn't afford to have the piece reprinted,
Gary Comer decided to simply change the name of the business to correspond to the
printed piece. In the years since, the misplaced apostrophe has continued to grace
our name and our label. While it has prompted some raised eyebrows among English
teachers, it also sets us apart as a company whose continuing concern for what's
best for our customer is one that is also unmistakably human! |
