JC Penney - No More Cabin Creek Clothing

Review by heydenreich on 2012-05-18

HARRISON, ARKANSAS -- Hated to see JCPenneys no longer carrying Cabin Creek. I believe this will hurt them a lot. And no more catalogs, what happened? Such a great store going in wrong direction. I will shop else where, hope another store carries cabin creek brand. So sad.

They studied the catalog situation, and realized that they weren't worth publishing anymore. As I recall it happened in at least two steps. First they stopped mailing them, and then recently stopped publishing them (I believe).

Many people shop online these days. Personally I liked using the catalogs, but as the years passed I used them less and less until the last few I didn't open at all.

As for Cabin Creek, there have been similar complaints. Maybe if enough people complain they may bring it back. But consider this may be another case of declining or insufficient demand.

JCP is going through a major change in eliminating sales, and it is interesting you didn't mention it. As a stockholder, I hope they are making the right moves to make the company more successful in the future. No pain, no gain, they say.

JC Penney needs to wake up and figure out who is their demographic. It is an older demographic than the store is trying to portray.

All the younger shoppers have their specialty stores that line the malls. Kids only have so much money and it is not going to be spent at either JC Penney or Sears. Both those stores need to get back to the basics. With Penney's it is brands like Cabin Creek. I wear that brand but now I haven't set foot in a Penney's for months.

I have been ordering Cabin Creek blouses for years. They have always fit perfectly first time. Living overseas I have always ordered through the online catalog for pick up during the one or two weeks I am home in the States.
35 years ago when I was stationed in Korea, Pennys was the must reliable place to shop for my clothing and my than new-born as the sizes ran true. My daughter was a JC Penny kid to paraphrase Toy R' Us.

Now, having been in the Middle East for 14 years, I have come to really rely even more on JC Penny for my yearly clothing shopping, ordering 10-15 blouses (Cabin Creek), a dozen pants and other clothing items.
Pennys MUST be OUT of their MIND to discontinue Cabin Creek, as it has consistently been the most reliable brand of clothing. Makes me consider closing my 30 year charge account.

I have loved the Cabin Creek twill pants, especially since I was able to get them in Tall size. I am so disappointed in Penney's for discontinuing the brand. They are now geared too much toward the youth group.

I too have been purchasing the cabin creek shirts along with several other women that i work with. Finding a shirt that fits well the first time is almost impossible. I would probably never go to or would have gone to jc penny if it werent me going to order this shirt. UNHAPPY

Please bring back the Cabin Creek camp shirts. My daughters and I have purchased every color you had. Why would you get rid of such a good product? Please bring the brand back. Older people need clothes too. You seem to be focusing only on young buyers. What would JC Penney say? No reason for my family to shop at Penneys now.

I too have purchased Cabin Creek shirts and pants for years! I really need some new ones and can't find them now. Does any other store carry Cabin Creek? I will no longer shop at JC Penny's.

I have for many years bought Cabin Creek blouses. Please bring them back. Imam an older woman and many stores do not carry clothes appropriate for my age group.

Amen to the above. I have bought Cabin Creek since I was in my 20s, back in the 80s. And not because I was, or am, an "old fogey": I wanted classic American style, pretty (not garish) colors, natural cotton fabric (sometimes in a blend to make it easy-care---no one wants to iron more than they have to regardless of age), styles that I could wear all day comfortably in my busy life, a length option in pants, a reasonable price, and excellent quality. I am very upset that JCP has discontinued CC and if SJB goes too I really will have no reason to go there again. I am particularly disappointed about the CC twill pants. I have a CC denim jacket, classic style, hip length, that has been going for 10 years and I love it.

I can no longer fnd Cabin Creek shirts. They always fit perfectly, they laundered wonderful, I never had to iron them. I don't like to think that I won't be able to purchase them anymore. Bring back Cabin Creek!

I couldn't believe Penney's isn't carrying Cabin Creek clothing anymore. Who's bright idea was that? They're losing a lot of business from me and my friends unless they bring them back. Who manufactures them? I'd gladly order from them.

I like the cabin creek shirts and have been buying them for many years! Please bring back the cabin creek brand for the older generation!

Keep telling them BRING THEM BACK....but I now go to Kmart and buy chic pants. Kohls has a brand too that's something on the elastic waist jean pants for women. Also try Sears....but send a message JCPenney needs to listen to their customers not some idiot that's now the ceo.

Have been buying Cabin Creek Oxford shirts for years and am very disappointed to see JCP has discontinued them. That was my reason for shopping JCP Would also buy other things when shopping for Cabin Creek. No longer have any reason to shop JCP

I am so depressed that you don't have the Cabin Creek Shirts, etc... just was at a baby shower today.. and was talking to someone else that is disappointed too... and she isn't the only person I know.. I do know many that won't be going to JCPenney anymore.. I have been buying them for more that 20 years... I sure hope that you bring them back soon. Cuz I won't be going to JCPenney's until you do...

I also hope JCP brings back cabin creek clothing. Have not shopped for clothing at JCP since new CEO ruined my favorite store.

My Cabin Creek Shirts are wearing out, I would buy a dozen if I could only find them. I purchased all of my clothing from JCP, but they have discontinued all of my favorites, including underwear. :(
