Clothing Company Definitions — United States clothing company definitions from Apparel Search
This index lists United States clothing company definitions for companies whose names begin with the letter E. The four companies cover a denim brand, an urban clothing brand with twelve lines, an outdoor clothing chain founded in Seattle in 1920, and a women's label sold only by appointment at trunk shows, and each name links to a full definition page describing the company, its products and its history.

The E list is short — four companies — but it contains two different views of the same brand family and two opposite ways of selling clothes. Ecko is the urban clothing brand founded by designer Marc Ecko, popular from the late 1990s and expanded into twelve lines from menswear to skateboarding, while Ecko Manufacturing is a separate, later company in the same group, founded in 2008 and known for its denim jeans. Eddie Bauer is the established outdoor name, founded in Seattle in 1920 and inventor of the patented quilted down jacket. Etcetera, founded in 2000, sells women's contemporary clothing with no stores at all, by appointment only through private trunk shows.
United States clothing companies are filed alphabetically by company name, one letter per index page, so a company can be found by its first letter even when its full history is unknown. Each definition is a concise profile rather than a full company history: founding facts, headquarters, products, brands and lines, ownership where it is notable, and the events that made the company worth defining. Readers who need more depth on a company can follow the path into the Apparel Search fashion company profiles in the names directory, where major companies carry fuller profiles, and the clothing definitions list covers the garment and fabric terms used in these pages.
Companies change — they are acquired, renamed, or close — so a definition records the company as described at the time of writing, including dated facts such as acquisitions with their years. Where a definition gives a date, a founder or a place, that detail is part of the company's record and the quickest way to tell similar names apart — on this page, it is what separates the Ecko brand from Ecko Manufacturing.
The E list covers Ecko, Ecko Manufacturing, Eddie Bauer and Etcetera. Each name links to that company's definition page.
Each definition page describes the company itself: what it makes or sells, when and where it was founded, the brands and lines it owns, and the notable events in its history, in a short standardised profile format.
