Timberland (NYSE: TBL) (or more informally Timbs or Timbos) is a trademark for a number of lines of outdoors wear, primarily boots, manufactured by The Timberland Company. Its three key locations are in Stratham, Danville, Ontario.

Although their boots are designed for hiking and mountain climbing, they are popular as a primary element of fashion, originating from their popularity with African-American, West Indian, and Latin youths in New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut areas. The Timberland Company also has many items for sale in the apparel market including watches, leather goods, eyeware and other goods.

In 2007, Timberland was named one of the hundred best companies to work for by CNN Money, and the best company to work for in the state of New Hampshire.[1]



OshKosh B'Gosh is a children's apparel company founded in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 1895.

Originally a small-town manufacturer of adult work clothing, it has become best known for its children's clothing, especially bib overalls. The original children's overalls, dating from the early twentieth century, were intended to let parents dress their children like their fathers. According to the company, sales of the product increased after Miles Kimball, an Oshkosh-based mail-order catalog, featured a pair of the overalls in its national catalog in 1960. As a result, OshKosh B'Gosh began to sell their products through department stores and expanded their children's line. Children's clothing made up fifteen percent of the company's sales in 1979; by 1993 that number was 95 percent.

Oshkosh B'Gosh clothes are no longer made in Oshkosh, and the company was recently sold to Carter's, Inc., another clothing manufacturer, though it still operates under the original name and maintains a corporate headquarters in Oshkosh. Today, the company sells accessories, jeans, pants, shirts, sweaters, t-shirts and tank tops, and its trademark overalls. The company produces clothing for babies, infants, toddlers, kids (4-7), and youth (5-16). For a time, OshKosh also made clothing for men and women, but stopped making adult sizes due to poor sales. The company also has over one hundred outlet stores in the United States of America.




Marks & Spencer (M&S) is a British retailer, with 760 stores in more than 30 countries around the world. It is one of the most iconic and widely recognised chain stores in the UK with 520 stores,[2] and is the largest clothing retailer in the country, as well as being a multi-billion pound food retailer.[3] Most of its shops sell both of these categories. It also has a third line of business selling homewares such as bed linen, but this is far smaller than the other two.

In 1998 it became the first British retailer to make a pre-tax profit of over £1 billion,[4] though a few years later it plunged into a crisis which lasted for several years. As of 2007, it is growing again and rapidly increasing profitability.
