Though relations have thawed appreciably in recent months between billionaire Dick Hayne and his neighbors here in West Marlborough, Mr. Hayne and Urban Outfitters, the company he founded and runs, are still attracting plenty of controversy elsewhere, reports the "Philadelphia Business Journal."
Urban Outfitters drew the wrath of the Navajo Nation by selling a line of clothes, including women's underwear, with purportedly Navajo motifs. The tribe has sued, saying this infringes on their trademark.
And the Congressional Ad Hoc Committee on Irish Affairs asked the company to pull its St. Patrick's Day T-shirts, which linked Irish people and heavy drinking (for instance, a green T-shirt with the wording "I'm a Drinker, Not a Fighter" and a another saying "Irish I Were Drunk").
