Sam Fink would have been 100 years old this year.

He was one of the “founding fathers ” of Lands' End. And it's no stretch of the imagination to say that without his contributions during our very early days, the Lands' End we all know may not even be here.

Sam was a well-known calligrapher, designer, and art director. He designed our very first logo. Whenever founder Gary Comer had a message that was particularly important to share with customers, he would turn to Sam who would turn it into a catalog cover that couldn't be overlooked – or easily forgotten.
