@warriors22 that's terrible. Did they remake them for you?
-
I was about to say that’s “no big deal” if you can’t feel it, but then realized that was the outside
Either way, I did shoot them an email this morning just showing them the issue. I wasn’t asking for anything, just basically saying, “Hey, I wanted to make you aware of this.”
In my opinion, any company or business worth its salt would at least want to know about an issue, even if the customer isn’t asking for anything.

@northsouthdenimguy I'd definitely let them know. I had a minor issue develop years ago with a lightweight camo jacket that they did. Didn't bother me but felt like I should bring it up just so they were aware. They apologized and offered to repair and get it back to me no questions asked.
I'd want to know because if a couple more people report similar it could be part of a larger pattern or issue.

I haven’t sent an email jst yet n probably won’t even ask for them to remake or if they had another pair to swap. I waited so long to get these and to be honest I think it’ll be fine. Jst a bummer I paid all that money for something like that to happen. To even let the pants pass QC is kinda crazy for being a well made/quality store
-
@northsouthdenimguy yea I think they should know so that nothing like your shirt or my pants get sent out like that. With ppl spending their hard earned money they should receive an item with no damages or bad sewing job. And this is how the front of that pants look

Amanda responded yesterday afternoon and was really nice about it. She offered to send me a return label so they could repair it, and from the tone of her message I would imagine a refund would have been an option too if that was what I wanted.
I gave it a hot soak the evening before and then threw it in the dryer once it was about 80% dry. Man, it feels really good now. It shrunk up just right and the material softened up quite a bit. I still need to press it, but the fit feels great. I really like the shirt, so I have zero intention of sending it back for a repair.
I already burned off the little bit of loose material with a lighter and touched it up with a fabric pen. I think after another wash or two it will blend in just fine. If it ever needs an actual repair down the road, I’ll just have it done locally. They even offered to pay for that if I wanted, but I’m really not worried about it.
More than anything, I thought their response was exactly what a company should say given the tone of my original email, especially since I made it pretty clear I wasn’t looking for anything. Really good customer service all around.

Funny ShipJohn QC story - I was lucky enough to snag a Wills decade jacket. They made 110 of them and each one was numbered on the inside on a leather patch. Mine came with no number. Sent them an email and they said oh sorry we forgot to number yours, it’s 56. So I took a sharpie and did it myself. I was thinking to myself how does something so obvious not get noticed? Btw I am a huge SJ fan.
I have a Kristofferson coming in December and I will have no sense of humor if there is anything wrong with that jacket.

@northsouthdenimguy that’s good to hear about the fit, I noticed it soften substantially as well with the wash and dry. Also their customer service really is great. They replaced all the snaps on my dry wax and then even sent it with the black denim Townes AND they refunded me the shipping on the black Townes since they were going to cover the shipping back to me on the dry wax. It’s really nice to know a company I love to support also stands behind their products the way they do
-
She even offered a small store credit, which I think the way I answered probably made it sound like I wasn’t interested
. I definitely wouldn’t turn it down if they send it to me though. -
@northsouthdenimguy That’s great to hear!
-
I deal with it weekly and know that it sucks that any issues make it past QC but that is an opportunity for a company to "sell" it's customer service...
-
I sent a email out yesterday about my Guthries and without question or my response they sent me a return label to see if they can fix them or take another route. I really appreciated that and probably will send them out to them. I have already gave them a hot soak and all that so I really do want to keep the pants even if they can’t fix it. Either way I will continue to support them
-
@warriors22 yes, these are really great pants (once you break them in a bit). SJ team will most likely be able to fix them, and you will love them for winter. I think you will be happy with the result and turnaround time. please let us know how it shakes out.

Just saw Mike post a ramblin broken twill black denim in the works…
