I wondered about this because I have a fair amount of All Clad LTD acquired
over a 15 year period, and everything except the fry pans came with lids. So
I checked the All Clad site myself. It still looks like just about
everything comes with a lid except fry pans. They do have a lids section,
but the normal stuff seems to have them standard. Maybe the lids section is
for people who somehow lost their lids at some point.

Did your brother buy the pans "new in box"? Maybe he got them through some
non standard distribution channel and therefore the lids were missing.
