For anyone considering shopping HSN for NYDJ...

...you may want to think twice!

I ordered a pair of ankle length jeans that were at a special sale price last week. Since I own several pairs of this brand (that I've bought at different retail brick and mortar stores) I knew exactly what size I needed. When the jeans arrived in the mail yesterday, the fit was completely off and the fabric felt different. When I looked at the label, it said "MADE IN CHINA". I opened my closet and looked at every pair that I currently own and they were all labeled "MADE IN THE USA". The HSN pair was just not the same quality. I had to send them back because even though the jeans were at a sale price, they were not worth the money! Just sayin'...you may want to think twice before ordering this brand from HSN.

I've noticed quite a number of new posters starting negative threads about HSN products.

LOL

i think it depends on which style you choose.....some say made in usa, some say imported. if you want to buy only the made in the usa then you can easily check out the item description.

for example, the briella style on hsn says imported. the briella style on the nydj website says imported.

I just double-checked the product description on HSN (Alisha Ankle Length). It states "made in the USA".

The label in the jeans reads "made in China".

I would have never ordered if I had known this. I just checked the NYDJ site which shows the same style as made in the USA, as well as Nordstrom's website (who also has this style on sale) and they also show made in the USA. Not sure I'll buy online again if it's common practice for retailers to send something different.

I guess I'll have to get myself to Nordstrom's and see for myself. Now I only hope they have my size!

I bought 2 pairs of Alisha from HSN. One is made in China,the other USA. My Nordies did not carry the Alishas,but had the Clarissa. The salesgirl told me some NYJD have fabric from here,but were made in China. She said there was a discrepancy in the fit with the Clarissa and to size up. I did as she said,but the jeans stretched out so much,I returned them all. Tried smaller usual size and no luck. If NYDJ goes to China,I quit buying them.

Slightly O/T but I find that the Pfaltzgraff Tea Rose pattern dishes are different when you compare the Made in the USA vs. Made in China pieces. The USA pieces are thicker and heftier than the ones from China.

I may be wrong but I really think there is a difference in the items being sent to the shopping channels than those sold in retail. It's almost as if the shopping channels are getting "outlet" items.

I ordered a DKNY handbag about a year ago and although it came with a price tag hanging from the strap, like you would see out in retail, it said HSN on it in very small print leading me to believe these were made just for HSN.

I bought a pair of this brand and sent them back, fit was way off.

Wow part of the reason I like this brand is because it's made in the US.

If they're going to start manufacturing in China, they'll be like everyone else. And you won't be able to trust the sizing, which has always been another plus for this brand.

Hey...

I just checked the pair of Aileen ankle pants I received from Macy's last week. I ordered them online.

Guess what? Made in China.

I never even looked at the label.

And they weren't any cheaper either.

Is this the beginning of the end of their quality?

I just sent back my ankle jeans in my normal size for this brand. Had to be a least 2 sizes off!!

I loved the fact that NYDJ were always US made, because fabric, fit and quality were always exceptional, which I felt was the reason for the fairly high price tag. If they're going to start making cheaply made stuff in China, I think it may be time for me to move on and find another brand.

Wow...this is disconcerting! Definitely will be paying closer attention to place of origin, and I'm being much more selective about what I purchase from hsn. I thought we could depend on integrity from brands that manufacture in USA, but looks like that is compromised when they start to sell at alternative channels like hsn.

It isn't just HSN....see my previous post.

I bought mine from Macy's.

It looks like this brand is going down that road....

I have tried oin multiple styles in these jeans at L&T and Nordstroms and have never found a pair that fits me correctly. Probably just as well since they are outrageously expensive for jeans IMHO

I could not understand the price that HSN was offering for them. They were below $100.00. These American made jeans sold at Nordstrom, etc. cost way over that. I have two of them. Both say made in the U.S.A.

I don't step foot in Macy's anymore. Horrible clothing for sale. I'd rather spend more money at Nordstom.

Ok. But that has nothing to do with the brand NYDJ.

And you managed to slip in an insult to someone who shops at Macy's. (Me.)

Hope it makes your day happier!

I totally agree!

I loved these because they always look good and I always knew my size.

Very disappointing.

Why blame China? The factories in China work from the paterns and specifications that NYDJ gives them. I don't believe the sizing issues have anything to do with China. I think it's all about the new stretch fabrics, also did you remember to go down a size? I say that because, that's what NYDJ has always recommended. They still say it on their website.
