Labels do cost though Cheap cloths are soemtime very cheap. A friend used to work for a company called Great Outdoor Clothing Co.. Basically and outlet for irregulars and overstock. The catch here was that his Company was owned by Odyssey International. Odyssey Internation is a clothing manufacturere who, at the time made something like 75% of all outdoor clothing, including All Eddie Bauer outerwear and all Northface products, as well as a fair amount of outsourced Columbia stuff. I have no idea os what the company is making nowdays. But there were many times they had Eddie Bauer and Northface stuff in (with correct buttons/snaps/other dist marks that had either ripped ou labels or other bogus labels often sewn in over the original label. And of course the prices were dramatically cheaper. The Eddie Bauer store in teh same mall had come in serverl time to complain and ask them to remove the items they were selling as tehy were identical to what they were stocking..
So yeah, sometimes a tag just costs too much.
