Issac please!

The Issac line used to have good fabrics. Now they are pushing polyester blends. There are many lines here that are synthetic materials. Please encourage your line to keep to the cotton rich clothing.

If we are going to appeal to Isaac, can we also ask (for the 20th time) for him to make those tiny short sleeves A LITTLE LONGER ? Again I have had to pass up some very pretty things because of the too short cap sleeves. We would love to have fashion model arms Darling , but alas it ain't happening in this life.

I agree about the cotton. I don't like all tne polyester, especially for the hot, humid months! I hope IM brings more talls too, please.

I don't mind cotton/poly blends - they still breathe. I am not a fan of the paper thin poly/rayon blends.

I just got 2 IM tee shirts that were 100% cotton and I love them. Wrote a review about them here. Fabulous buy, very dressy looking t shirts I can wear with a skirt or dress pants to church or out for the evening. Be comfy and cool but not look sloppy.

since he is the on air rep for the brand I'm not sure he has any input.

You don't think IM has any input into what they are putting his name on?

The press on excel brands is interesting.

IM is not involved with his line here as many may assume. Baically he is the Face repping the brand and has minimal input in the day to day decisions. They have an entire department selecting and designing what is included within his "label."

Issac still creates his own Couture line but his deal with QVC was essentially that he would be the Front Man here for which he is handsomely compensated. It is a win/win for both IM and QVC.

Wackers3: I appreciate your post..and it clarifies why IM often doesn't know the garment colors, the material composition, the 'never-coming-back' items, the presented price......sometimes he seems lost.

Regardless, I love him; he is a valuable designer with an exciting life!

I realize it isn't his company, however if a product had my name I would be unhappy if the merchandise was dummied down. If we want schmatas we can buy from different vendors.

Although no longer the designer, I do think the IM team attempts to hold to IM's basic style of fashion. Isaac does try to give the impression he is actually doing the designing.

I find when they sell their brand, the product seldom gets "better."

I've recently learned that cotton is more expensive (and less ecologically sound) than it used to be. One thing that has really surprised me is how few SOCKS have very much (if any) cotton in them these days.
