At Sterling VA and Leesburg VA. Fit for me ran big. I'm a solid XL but in these the large felt better.

I purchased one last week for $50. It's 650 fil and 80/20 down to feather ratio. It's not quite as warm as my REI Co-op 650 fill, but it's close. I agree with hallse7 in that the size does run a bit large. The medium fits me similarly to the large from REI. The only downside of the Eddie Bauer is that it doesn't come with any stuff sack option. Overall, it's a good buy for $50, and a great buy for $25.

I bought one of these and you will notice a bad smell like a dead animal. I can not recommend this jacket.

I have heard that their jackets smell from other EB threads on here.

I got a Gerry one for $19.99. must be costco's local brand? It is 90% down, 10% fowl feather with 650 fill power. And with welded seams instead of stitched. Pretty good. I dont get why other brands are so expensive with same down/feather ratio and fill power. Am I missing something or it is pure brand equity (which I don't care if specs are same).

These are usually location specific, not all stores have this price. Ymmv

I didn't see any in Danvers, MA last night. It looks like the Eddie Bauer CirusLite Down Jacket with Hood. I tried one without hood at an Eddie Bauer store and thought it ran slightly tighter than the REI 650 down jacket model of 2018.

Eddie Bauer ran this jacket for $70 or $75 for months before and after Christmas. The non-hood version was $50. Their current sale prices are at least $20 more than their holiday sale prices.

This was $50 at my store at time of posting, but in the past 2 days it has also dropped down to $25.

Not the Marmot unfortunately, but snagged two as it was a good price.

FYI - a very appropriate in-store sniff didn't reveal any bad animal smells for me. Smells like jacket.
