Timberland
The stuff has such a bad image nowadays. How did it get that way? Just the hooligan connection? Outsourcing? I meet people who should know better who still speak of it with reverence. Only this morning I saw one of their cotton jackets at a pocket money price. And where was it made? Thailand. I remember their shoes being nice with A&F chinos, but the boots were nothing but an expensive nuisance, the knock-offs still to be seen pretty well everywhere.

Re: Timberland
Image-wise, they suffer a tad from being a hip-hop staple of years back, but I think their proliferation in 'outlet malls' and other discounters is right up there with plain ugly shoes and everybody knowing someone that had a sole peel off their Timberlands.
Agreed, they're like Bass nowadays where the 'discounted' outlet price is still overpriced, because the product is at commodity level while having delusions of premium brand status. Also the waterproof thing was once a fairly exclusive bragging right; nowadays waterproof shoes are not that special. They failed to keep up.
