Eddie Bauer周一表示，该公司已申请破产——这家拥有106年历史的户外服装零售商第三次申请《美国破产法》第11章的债务保护。
这家总部位于华盛顿州贝尔维尤的公司在美国和加拿大约有180家门店，其零售门店将继续为顾客服务，同时公司将开始关闭部分门店。其电子商务和批发业务因独立运营，不受此次破产申请影响。
此次破产不会影响Eddie Bauer在美国和加拿大以外市场的门店。
“这不是一个容易的决定，”持有Eddie Bauer在美国和加拿大门店运营许可的Catalyst Brands首席执行官马克·罗森（Marc Rosen）在一份声明中表示，“然而，此次重组是优化零售公司利益相关者价值的最佳方式，也将确保Catalyst Brands保持盈利，并拥有强劲的流动性和现金流。”
近年来，该公司面临销售额下滑、供应链问题，以及罗森周一提到的“持续的关税不确定性”。
“虽然Catalyst的管理团队在品牌建设方面取得了重大进展，包括在产品开发和营销方面的快速改进，但这些变化未能迅速实施，以充分解决多年来积累的挑战，”他表示。
Eddie Bauer成立于1920年，最初是西雅图的一家渔具店，因在第一次世界大战期间为军方提供包括羽绒服和睡袋在内的户外服装而闻名。1963年，吉姆·惠特克（Jim Whittaker）穿着该公司的服装成为首位登上珠穆朗玛峰的美国人。

Retail operator of Eddie Bauer, venerable outdoor apparel retailer, declares bankruptcy
February 9, 2026 / 1:45 PM EST / CBS News
Eddie Bauer said Monday that it has declared bankruptcy — the third time the 106-year-old outdoor apparel retailer has filed for Chapter 11 protection from its debts.
The Bellevue, Washington-based company, which operates roughly 180 stores across the U.S. and Canada, said its retail locations will continue serving customers as the company starts winding down some stores. Its e-commerce and wholesale operations are not affected by the filing because they are operated separately.
The bankruptcy doesn’t affect Eddie Bauer stores in markets outside the U.S. and Canada.
“This is not an easy decision,” Marc Rosen, CEO of Catalyst Brands, which holds the license to operate Eddie Bauer stores in the U.S. and Canada, said in a statement. “However, this restructuring is the best way to optimize value for the retail company’s stakeholders and also ensure Catalyst Brands remains profitable and with strong liquidity and cash flow.”
In recent years, the company has faced dwindling sales, supply-chain issues and what Rosen on Monday cited as “ongoing tariff uncertainty.”
“While the leadership team at Catalyst was able to make significant strides in the brand, including rapid improvements in product development and marketing, those changes could not be implemented fast enough to fully address the challenges created over several years,” he said.
Eddie Bauer launched in 1920 as a Seattle fishing shop, and became known for providing outerwear, including down jackets and sleeping bags, for the military during World War I. In 1963, Jim Whittaker wore the company’s clothing in becoming the first American to climb Mount Everest.
