I live in Wiscoinsin now, and she didn't know what I was talking about! I lived in New England for ten years and bought from the Carroll Reed catalogue until I no longer received it. At least I can still get Leon Levin! I was thinking of Carroll Reed yesterday when I asked a fellow resident if she got her Leon Levin shirt there.

It has always been dried on a wood dryer and still looks great today! I, too, have a favorite Carroll Reed sweater that my mother purchased back in the early 90′s.

I am wearing a boiled wool jacket that I have had since I was about 15. I am 38 now and was shocked to see that Carroll Reed has been gone already 15 years. My jacket is a classic, one my mother got for me and it still looks like new. Wore it today on a cool day in NY and I was toasty warm. They don't make jackets like this anymore. Thanks for the great quality. Sarah Today looked up Carroll Reed. I am wearing a boiled wool jacket that I have had since I was about 15.

They are always admired and come out of the washing machine still looking brand new. I hope they never wear out!

This is the answer. Walk into any RL store and you tell me!!!!! There's only one original. Always. And CR was it. Too bad and a real shame.

Especially the "Classic" T-Shirts -- long enough to tuck in and sleeves that don't bunch up under your arm. Have many of these t-shirts and also several pairs of blue jeans. I'm a Senior and thank her for not forgetting us. Some clothing manufacturers think we're invisible. Keep them coming Carroll Reed, we need your clothing line. Barbara Love Carroll Reed merchandise.

First in shipping and then in the offices of IOP. I was in backorders for awhile and then in returns/exchanges, shop orders, phone room taking orders, charge orders, missing information, finally as Carroll Reed Charge Account Clerk. It was a great job. All 5+ yrs. I left when I married my husband and had to leave the area. I miss it. It sure has a fond place in my heart!!!!! :) I used to work for Carroll Reeds in their Conway NH location. First in shipping and then in the offices of IOP.

I "grew up" with Carroll Reed in Simsbury, CT and have very fond memories of the store (complete with ahead-of-their-time sisal carpeting) and every item I ever purchased there. Fingers crossed. I am soooo tired of the way-too-trendy clothing out there today. Agree with everyone above! I “grew up” with
