You'll come (huh huh) to take a picture of the sign on the window…read more You'll stay because the stuff inside the store window will enthrall you. That's the way it happened when we were moseying around the highway in Lincoln City near the house we rented. I'm not sure what I expected to find in a place called Red Cock, even though the obvious answer might be something I wouldn't want to dwell on. Turns out, the name is a clever business strategy. Lure the people in with the strength of a naughty phrase, then make them sing your praises by selling all sorts of unique and well-priced trinkets once they're there. Seriously, dank nudie bars of the world, take note! There were racks and racks of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and other kinds of jewelry, including two-dollar rings at the counter made from the repurposed wiring of dismantled circuit boards in Guatemala and matching earrings and necklaces made with preserved coffee beans. Also, shelves with handmade soaps, small precious stones, chopsticks adorned with Transformer-like characters, and just about any gift made from unusual materials by local and less-local artisans. In the back of the Red Cock (har har) were closets full of clothing, from fluttery beach shawls to wool-lined winter coats and articles to clothe you from the top of your head to the balls (balls!) of your feet. And even though nothing appeared to be outrageously priced, I could have easily forfeited a paycheck in there. "But wouldn't it be awesome if they had T-shirts that say 'The Red Cock?'" you might wonder, as did one of my friends. With that question, the store proprietress directed my friend to the sale rack in the rear (heh heh, this is too easy), and my friends doled out forty more dollars to become the owners of lime green cotton shirts silk screened with crimson-colored lettering with none other than the store's name and feathery namesake. That's right. I'm getting hitched to a member of the newly-instituted Cock Pack. The Cock Pack's influence is so strong that one of its founding members - my Crime Partner - and I were walking down to the beach later that day, and Crime Partner was proudly wearing his Red Cock shirt. A man stopped him to ask where he had gotten the shirt and gave Crime Partner a compliment on his attire before walking away. A few hours after that encounter, Crime Partner and I were outside a grocery store when we saw the same guy . . . wearing his own lime green Red Cock T-shirt. The woman behind the counter presiding over all Red Cock business understood the alliance she was instrumental in outfitting when she met my friends and me. She told a couple of us that we had a spirited bunch of guys. And when I made a lame joke about breaking their spirits, the woman at the Red Cock was like, "Yeah, uh huh, good luck with that." Woman in charge of the Red Cock (yeah, I know) -- consider yourself an honorary part of the Cock Pack. Lack of fowl friends and certain bits of anatomy don't matter.

Update, the store has changed owners, name, and stock entirely. No more clothing or locally made…read morecrafts or sale section, now tarot readings and such. There is such a wonderful (and HUGE) selection here! They carry clothing (mostly for women, but there is a small section for men, too), jewelry, crafts, and more. They have a wide range of sizes from petite to XXX (and maybe beyond). My favorite brand is Cut Loose out of San Francisco and they always get their new seasonal pieces in. And there's a great sale section in the back of the shop with some really good deals.

When my brother and I made our trip to the Oregon Coast from San Francisco, our itinerary included…read morea trip to the "Outlets", always. Always looking forward to finding exactly what we were looking for @ deep discounts. Especially because we had "particular stores" we loved. Unfortunately since our last trip 2 or 3 years ago, the outlet has been a bit "gutted". Many of our favorite stores no longer exist. But as I said, we were on a "mission" of sorts, 1 being to find comfy shoes for my brother, that slipped on and off easily. Due to some physical challenges, it was imperative to find this type of shoe. After my "pre searching the stores", so he didn't have to do too much walking, I came upon "Famous Footwear". I, his sister was bound and determined to find us "good help" and walk out with a pair of shoes. By the grace and my perseverance, I met JAXON "A STAR" who was absolutely PHENOMENAL, best in the store. He knew his merchandise, pulled out all the stops for every possible option and treated my brother with the utmost kindness and respect. I truly can't thank him enough and extend a glowing review. Give him a raise or promote him. He is a top notch sales person, with a clear vision of what good/great customer service is all about. Jaxon went above and beyond to help us. Yes, we did walk out with one pair, hoped for 1 more, but happy w/the 1 my brother did find to his liking and fit.

I was unsure how to choose clothing appropriate for a teenager who recently transitioned from wearing boys' clothes. As it happened, we entered the Eddie Bauer store in Lincoln City, and a staff member approached us to offer assistance. I explained that we weren't looking for a standard outlet experience--we needed help navigating a new wardrobe for our daughter, who had recently come out as transgender. My husband and I, as cis gendered gay men, had no prior experience with teenage girls' clothing. The employee, Robin, listened carefully and responded with professionalism and care. She introduced herself and offered support without judgment. She helped our daughter select clothes that aligned with her identity and expressed her pronouns. This interaction stood out compared to previous experiences at Eddie Bauer. The store's service, particularly Robin's approach, reflected a thoughtful and inclusive environment. It reinforced our sense of belonging in our Northwest community and our continued trust in the brand. Thank you, Robin Wedertz, for supporting our daughter in expressing her identity with confidence. Your presence made a meaningful difference in her day and in our family's experience. Eddie Bauer, thank you for cultivating such a supportive team.
