I used to shop at JCrew, Banana Republic, Polo and Bennetton exclusively.
However, I refuse to shop at JCrew anymore, they have started having almost all of their garments made in China. And their sizes are no longer what they used to be, I am still the same size I was two years ago. However, JCrew's size medium for men has been cut down to the bare minimum. A medium no longer fits, and I have gained no weight, their clothes are just cut a lot smaller. The size medium from two years ago is still a bit large on me, but today's mediums are to small.
Their catalogs lead you to believe all their clothes are made in Europe or the United States. However, once you purchase the garment the label says made in china a lot. There are still a few things made in Europe, but for the most part it's China.
They've made no price reduction in their garments, but the quality isn't what it used to be. I've shopped at JCrew for over ten or more years, and it really burns me when I see this.
You go into a dept. Store and expect top quality from a store that claims to sell only top quality mdse.
In my intro. I did mention Banana Republic, Polo and Bennetton, their sizes haven't gotten smaller. SOme Banana and Polo are made in China, but their sizes have remained a constant. Bennetton is made in Italy.
Check out JCrew's labels, I personally am not trying to offend any asian americans, but China doesn't have the best reputation for making quality items. My experience with their garments anyway.
