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.

Jcrew does not care about its customers or employees

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, April 02, 2009

Over the years Jcrew has compromised its quality for profit.Long time employees have watched the quality become less and less.Management has only one goal,ship out as much in a day as possible.They set production so impossibly high the workers cannot properly check to make sure the correct product is being sent to the customers,if they don't make production they lose their jobs.Many employees have complained about numerous problems,unfair production standards,disrespectful supervisors, harrasment, favoritism, safety issues,the list goes on.The open door policy(one can talk to anyone in HR or management they feel comfortable speaking with)is one big lie.When you bring problems to their attention you become viewed as a trouble maker,or a non team player in their words.The end result since Va.is a right to work state is they pick on the employee and eventually find a way to fire them.Just in the last 3 weeks,2 longtime employees,15 to 19 years have been let go simply because one had the misfortune of not being liked by a 30 something attractive female in a management position who had been with the company for about 3 years.The other was a 50something lady who simply was not one of the good ole boys.She had been in a management position for years and was reduced to a supervisor only to be replaced then fired by a 30 something man.While still employeed with Jcrew employees are forced to sign agreements not to bring negative attention to the company or if they do it is grounds for termination.I'm sure Jcrew is not the only company who treats its customers and employees this way and that is very sad.My best to the ones who gave years of their lives to this company only to be treated and thrown away like yesterdays trash.May Jcrew reap the rewards that they sow!

TRENDY LITTLE SHOPPES HAVE IMPOSSIBLY LITTLE SIZES AND OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH PRICES

AUTHOR: Joe - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, March 16, 2009

FASHION TRENDS MAKE WOMEN ANOREXIC. SKIMPY SMALL FASHIONS COST LESS AND THAT MEANS HIGHER PROFITS.

IF YOU PROMOTE THE HELL OUT OF SOMETHING --MAKING IT CHIC AND TRENDY -- SOME SHEEPLE WILL BE SURE TO FOLLOW AND WASTE THEIR MONEY ON SECONDS AND DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE AND THINK THEY HAVE THE NEWEST, TRENDIEST AND GREATEST ---YEAH SURE...

NOBODY IN MY FAMILY SHOPS AT J CREW FOR THE SAME REASON THAT WE DO NOT SHOP AT BANANA REPUBLIC AND ANY OF THESE TRENDY LITTLE SHOPPES IN THE MALL THAT CATER TO MINDLESS TEENERS AND TWEENERS AND YUPPIES.

WE WANT VALUE FOR THE MONEY AND REASONABLE SIZES FOR REAL WOMEN AND NOT ANOREXIC TEENY BOPPERS.

AND J CREW DOES NOT DELIVER ON EITHER OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA,

I WONDER IF THEY WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS ECONOMIC SHAKE DOWN.
