I totally understand your point.

Timberland do need to work on their ethics a bit maybe.
But again when it comes down to it all that Timberland have gave them is raw money.

howies originally did want to expand, but they wanted to do it without cutting corners and as ethically as possible even if it does take longer.
Timberland arent perfect but they arent BP oil and both the companys ranges are in the same category.

Therefor I think that the deal was appropriate.

Of course people are entitled to their views by this is from my point of view.

i used to design for timberland, their ethics in apparel were far better than 99% of any brands out there. no howies for sure, but still. shame the clothes sucked asshole.
