They got bought out a few years ago by VF corporation. They own Vans, Lee and a bunch of other stuff.

VF also makes the uniforms for the National Park Service and they are abysmal.

VF also own North Face and Napapijiri - whilst NF has declined slightly they are still very well made clothes and the Nap stuff has always been great quality for a reasonable cost for me.

I’ve noticed they offer significantly less technical gear when compared to a few years ago.

Lee and Wrangler actually split from VF a few years ago, a close family member works there, the new company is called Kontoor brands. I'm actually kind of happy with this, since Lee and Wrangler are legacy brands, not fashion/trend brands.
