Hubby's in the industry, and when manufacturing goes to the middle and far east, quality goes down, because the product turn-around time goes from a week here in the states to 6-12 weeks from Pakistan or Sri Lanka, and quality control just says to heck with it, and passes the goods because the company can't afford another 12 week lag in getting the clothes to the store.Rootietoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804816032287310463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-55352261170288706322007-08-20T05:22:00.000-06:002007-08-20T05:22:00.000-06:00Unfortunately, I think it comes down to everyone, ...Unfortunately, I think it comes down to everyone, including clothing manufacturers, out-sourcing their materials and sewing to third-world countries and the materials especially just aren't what they used to be.<BR/><BR/>I had a similar situation recently with trying to find my daughter a pair of slippers.

Several years ago I purchased a Dirt Devil® vacuum cleaner from Target; after about a month it began spewing smoke, making weird noises and then quit working. I purchased another one from Ace Hardware and the same thing happened within a couple of months. I finally went into a store that specializes in vacuums to inquire why the Dirt Devil’s weren’t holding up. I was told the company manufactures an inferior quality product for distribution to the “Big Box” stores, which explains why the prices are usually less. Perhaps Docker is doing the same thing when they distribute clothes to Kohl’s or Bealls of Florida. That sounds better than a “spreading ass”….Litzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797830477221024642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-79921061691600594532007-08-18T14:08:00.000-06:002007-08-18T14:08:00.000-06:00Chubbs had the exact same problem with a shop over...Chubbs had the exact same problem with a shop over there.

Sometimes my size fits, sometimes it doesn't (and trust me, my ass is consistent!) I don't even try to buy them anymore... <BR/><BR/> I'm betting it's a style or a cut issue or something. Do you have an CS # for the company? I'd at least call and ask/complain- it might not get your DH pants that fit, but you might get some kind of discount or coupons or something for your feedback.Allknowingjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302830377043688235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-71473038021530985952007-08-18T10:35:00.000-06:002007-08-18T10:35:00.000-06:00corporations are searching for their names online....corporations are searching for their names online. when i had the issue with Dell and blogged about the lack of service (tried calling them) and lo and behold, a CSR read my blog entry and left a comment and wanted to assist me.<BR/><BR/>my brother wears Dockers and it's weird, but there are various fits of Dockers. not sure why. different models?Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863476395629707285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-79478035122154176422007-08-18T09:40:00.000-06:002007-08-18T09:40:00.000-06:00I'm thinking Dockers doesn't WANT people your hubb...I'm thinking Dockers doesn't WANT people your hubby's size wearing their pants.
