Disappointed

Fribwl — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 23:23:48 GMT

Today I watched the special of Denim & Co. Could not believe the jeans that Gary was selling was $77.00. Now you know as well as I that the price for us after s&h and tax is approximately $83.00. Are they kidding. I'm out. Won't be buying anything from Denim & Co. Unless the prices go down. Ridiculous. I will shop at Kohls or j C Penney and get nice clothing.

D&C used to be affordable, decent clothing. Now unless it is "on sale" way, way overpriced.

Thats a joke.I buy all my jeans at Old Navy. Last pair was $44. They have all different styles and colors.

I haven't bought anything from D&C in years. Overpriced and dated looks. Huge prints.

Not my style.

I've been disappointed with D&C for awhile. Not just the higher prices for a plain shirt but just their styles in general. There is nothing new in their line. It all looks like old fuddy duddy clothes.

I found the prices very high - D & C used to be good items at reasonable prices. That being said I thought I was watching a fashion show for senior citizens in a retirement home. Between the flowered prints and pull on pants that stretch in every direction (or so they say) the items were just not appealing at all (and the prices were ridiculous). And I will add I am 80 years old and do wear some pull on jeans when I feel lazy but no to the crazy floral prints and poly pants!

@Fribwl. I believe youre referring to the Comfy Knit jeans. They aren't ordinary cotton denim jeans but are knit and are wonderfully comfortable to wear. I have several pairs but didn't pay nearly that much.

Were just beginning to see clothing that was purchased overseas under the new tariffs and the prices are hitting people like a ton of bricks. Sticker shock. It'll only get worse. I predict many businesses will go under as people quit buying.

Why have you not made your clothing purchases at Kohls or Penney's since you find their prices more affordable.

I am also bored with this line, but I have purchased my share in the past. I am getting tired of the same old tops, plain or print. I think I will just wear what I have for now. I was not a fan of the southwestern styles.

Talbots has fantastic jeans for less than that when on sale.

Today I just got a nice pair of Denim and Co jeans that cost $57.98. Of course now they are $63. They are made in Bangladesh. They fit me really well and I like them. I have also purchased several pairs of NYDJ jeans that I love, that were more than that. I don’t mind paying more for quality jeans, that fit well, that come directly to my house. I suppose we all have certain items that we will pay more for, items that are important to us. Jeans are that for me.

I agree with Old Navy. I bought 2 pairs of jeans that actually fit, 3 shirts, a package of socks all for under $125.

Hopefully, this will mean U.S. manufacturing will return. I'm up for better quality everything.

General Electric is moving manufacturing for some washers and dryers to Kentucky. I'm sure other products will again be manufactured here.

@Sunshine Kate Agree. And that's the idea behind the tariffs. Someone mentioned she got a pair of D&C pants made in Bangladesh. smh That is ridiculous.

The higher prices and poor styling of the D&C line started way before the recent tariffs.

I have bought from Denim & Co for years. I like their tall jeans. Some tops as well, I do like their perfect jersey fabric. True, their prices have really shot up!

Re: Disappointed

Fribwl — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 13:54:55 GMT

@Kachina624 . Yes, like you I have a couple of pairs Of Comfy Knit Jeans that I bought in the past. They are comfortable and did not pay the price they are asking now.
