Our local mall has a EB store. I've been buying from them for 10 years. Mostly my work clothes. They announced they were closing right after Christmas. At the time they said they were closing due to another store wanting the space. Looks like they would have been closing regardless.
I liked their shirts and pants because they had some good quality iron free stuff. But now I work mostly from home. Don't really need the clothes any more. And I don't have too many more years before I can retire. Won't need them anymore.
But I did like the old EB Explorers. Thought they were always trimmed nicely.
A few years back, I bought 2 flannel shirts and a pullover that were from Eddie Bauer.....what spurred it was that the furniture company I was working for at the time was doing a partnership with the brand, so we were producing Eddie Bauer-branded outdoor furniture. I decided to get a few items.

Key takeaways:
Allison has not built transmissions for GM since the 2020 MY, the Allison badging is just a licensing agreement.
"This agreement will reinforce to customers that Chevy and GMC HD Trucks are equipped with trusted, Allison-branded* 10L1000 10-speed transmission that delivers the performance, capability, and durability customers expect.” - unnamed GM spokes person
