Disappointed in Isaac quality

ellaphant — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 22:23:29 GMT

Wow. I havr bought quite a few IM tops and loved the great quality of the

cotton fabric. Just received 3 new pima Tees and the fabric is thinner and

has a "satiny" feel. Nothing like the other pima items or cotton items I have.

Also, I ordered a small as before. They are huuuuge.

Spoke to CS.They are refunding S&H as well!

Yes, you have to have a watchful eye now. Just took a new top out of bag & it was huge huge. 3X perhaps. Bought early summer so out of window to return & another paper shiny and thin material.

Quality is in the dumpster.

Remember when Isaac first came to the Q? He had wonderful, interesting, colorful clothes. I ordered nearly all of his printed cardigans and got so many compliments. But now, there is not one thing that seems original at all. More 24/7 pants, and more pima tees. There is nothing pretty or "designer" at all. He should be embarrassed.

His clothing prices are RIDICULOUS. The quality is lacking. He thinks his clothing line is HIGH-END - FAR from it.

@65and fabulous I remember those days. I went through my closets and found 8 beautiful dresses with the tags still attached. I wore one each Sunday during the Summer and everyone gave me compliments.

I won't buy any of his clothing now after reading what Posters are saying but I am so glad that I bought them years ago.

@San Antonio Gal I could see why you love it. It looks like something he would have done years ago.

I agree about the pima cotton. THe older version was softer and heftier. This newer pima is thinner and as you said has more of a satin feel which I do not like cause it makes me feel cold in the winter! Clothing is not what it used to be!!!

Sad but true.

@65and fabulous Isaac is no longer the designer...he comes on to present the clothes.

I got a lovely IM cardigan at GW for around $6.50. I think the quality is excellent. It is a pale pink crochet type. Item number A592746. Never been worn.

I like Isaac as a personality but there is nothing I like about his clothing line.

The pima cotton shrinks. Doesn't it? It did for me. Won't buy anymore of that.

YES!!! I think his line should be retired. For the prices charged, it's not much different than Target or Walmart quality/style. I've been spending higher prices for clothes that ARE stylish at Anthropologie, Jonnie Was etc. I'd rather have a pretty piece than yucky clothes. We should ask for better.

@Puppy Lips How did you launder? Cold water,cold water detergent and no dryer. I do that and have not had a prob w/shrinking. Delicate wash cycle,also

I like the silky Pima that is not quite as thick. Great for summer weather.

I don't think the sizing is Isaac. I believe they were packages incorrectly. He can't control their work.

I have a Isaac wardrobe and they are different but all are good quality and I enjoy wearing them.

Remember, he designs them, doesn't make them!

Every single item I ordered from his line I sent back. Now I don't bother watching or ordering when he's on because I know it will not look right on me. The hosts act like it's a BIG deal to have him on air! I guess he has his followers because they wouldn't keep him around if people weren't buying.

@Group 5 minus 1 I may have put mine in the dryer on low. I don't want to have to hang everything up to dry. I do on some things, but I don't want to have to do it on a simple t-shirt. Plus, on 100% cotton, hanging it to dry can leave it a bit stiff in my opinion.

My dryer has a no heat,just fluff cycle and sometimes I use that after air drying. I think machine drying can really shrink some things.
