History
Gary Comer founded Lands' End in 1963 in Chicago as a sailboat equipment supplier. The company eventually shifted its focus to apparel and home goods, becoming a pioneer in the mail-order catalog industry. Its name contains a misplaced apostrophe due to a printing error in an early brochure. The brand contributed to the democratization of the American preppy aesthetic and established a significant presence in the direct-to-consumer retail sector.
