Hi all- I've been a long-time Land's End shopper. I've been an even longer-time rabbit "owner" and rescuer. In its current catalog, Land's End is selling a women's gabardine jacket with a detachable rabbit fur collar; you can find it by entering "gabardine." When I sent them an e-mail politely protesting their use of rabbit fur, they replied with an equally polite "we offer something for everyone" sort of statement. I am boycotting Land's End until they stop selling products made from animal fur. Anyone out there care to research where they get it? Hope other will join me in boycotting!
