Lands' End, Inc. is an American digital retailer specializing in solution-based apparel, swimwear, outerwear, accessories, footwear, and home products. Founded in Chicago in 1963 as a mail-order yachting supply company, the company is now headquartered in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Lands' End operates as a classic American lifestyle brand, committed to quality, legendary customer service, and delivering real value, guided by its founder's motto: "Take care of the customer, take care of the employee and the rest will take care of itself.".

The company offers a wide range of products for men, women, and children, including casual clothing, footwear, and home furnishings, sold primarily through its e-commerce websites, third-party distribution channels, and company-operated stores. Lands' End also serves businesses and schools through its Outfitters segment, providing uniform and logo apparel. The company leverages an asset-light strategy, expanding its brand reach through licensing agreements and third-party marketplaces.

In a significant development in January 2026, Lands' End formed a 50/50 joint venture with WHP Global to monetize its intellectual property. Lands' End contributed its brand IP and received $300 million in cash from WHP Global for a 50% controlling interest in the joint venture. As part of this agreement, Lands' End will license back its core products from the joint venture, with guaranteed minimum royalties. The proceeds from this transaction were primarily used to repay the company's outstanding term loan, strengthening its balance sheet. While WHP Global also acquired approximately 7% of Lands' End's outstanding shares, Lands' End maintains full operational control of its core direct-to-consumer and business-to-business operations. Andrew McLean serves as the Chief Executive Officer.
