G-III Leather Jacket -- Sold At SAM's CLUB Christmas '98

G-III (G-3) is a company that imports leather jackets. The jackets
are sold through stores like Sam's club. For Christmas 1998 Sam's
brought in piles of suede baseball jacket styles in three colors.
The suede is paper thin and tears very easily.

When I attempted to return the jacket to Sam's, with a receipt,
they would not take it - sighting that the G-III company would not
give them credit. Sam's gave me a phone number for Christine at
the G-III company - the number is 212-403-0800 - it leads to an
answering machine.

Although they did call me and were polite, they will not repair or
replace the jacket, nor will they give reimbursement or even store
credit. This leather is split so thin that it cannot possibly last
very long. G-III is a rip off that uses Chinese slave labor to
further their profits. The labels are in English and Spanish but
they are made in China.

While it may be illegal to import these jackets directly from China
“NAFTA” has made an interesting situation. The Mexicans import the
merchandise from China and then it is imported to the United States
from Mexico, successfully skirting the law.
