COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AND SIZE LABEL

• Country o f Origin o The FTC requires that if a garment has a neckline, the label containing the Country of

Origin (COO) must be attached in the center of the neck midway between the shoulder seams or next to the brand label in the neckline (or to the right of any buttons or zippers in the back seams as you wear the garment.)

o The English COO must appear on the front of the label. o For garments without a neckline, the COO must appear in a conspicuous location on the

garment.

Last Update 11/10/12 3

o For reversible garments with a neck, the COO must still appear in the center back of the neck, but may be a hangtag, tear away label or heat transfer label.

• Size o The garment size should be taken directly from the purchase order. o Tall’s, Petites and Plus needs to be on the label please reference the size chart located

in the reference section for correct expression of size when ordering labels. Examples:

CONTENT/CARE LABELS

The Care Label communicates the content and care instructions to our customers so that they can wash their garment properly. Unless otherwise specified we require 4 languages: English, French, German and Japanese. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires the following:

• Care labels are permanently attached and legible for the life of the garment. • Care labels must be conspicuously placed and easily found by the consumer at point of sale.

Fiber Content

The fiber content must be stated in generic terms pursuant to regulations of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Examples of generic fiber names are: wool, cotton and polyester. The use of trademarked names such as LYCRA® is not permissible unless specifically approved by Eddie Bauer. Review your item’s product specification package for specific naming. All fiber content must be stated in order of predominance. For example: 90% Cotton, 10% Silk or 80% Wool, 20% Nylon. Also any non textile parts of animal origin such as:

• Feathers or down feather • Fur • Leather (includes leather patches on jeans and jackets) • Horn or pearl buttons

Example: Ladies blouse with pearl buttons:

100% Cotton “Contains non-textile parts of animal origin (buttons)”
