Quacker Factory

Is it my imagination, but is Quacker Factory getting a little pricey? $40 plus for a cotton tee shirt. Won't be purchasing much from that line.

@BicherI think you'll have company.

And some will continue to buy. Tthere's nothing wrong with the price assuming you like the style, the fabric, etc.

I walked through Target the other day just to get out of the heat. LOts of tops for way less. My problem was that I thought even their $6 tops were OVERPRICED given the poor quality of the fabric. I might buy that quality for a child who will outgrow it in one season, but never for me.

Marge1994, I understand some may feel $40 is too much for a t-shirt. However, if you get a good quality garment which you can wear over and over again, for more than one season, it's money well spent. Sometimes the $10 tee is just that and proves it by only lasting a few weeks.

Millieshops, may I ask how to do that @ thing? I'm pretty good figuring out tech stuff for myself, but can't seem to get this one . Thank you .

As prices ease up, the quality has gone down. I've gotten a couple tops where the fabric was so cheap, I didn't even try them on.

QF is good quality I will stand up for them. I got her shorts and capris as long as I don't have a huge swing in wgt either up or down these should last and I like just a touch of bling not like those wacky tops, but, on the side slit of the shorts and capri's a few rhinestones or maybe embroidered flowers.

Sure can't find that at Dillards, Penny's, etc. I don't want zippers or buttons either just a pull on and off stretch waist.

Just bought the prettiest top from Denim & Co. not posting the # though till I seen it's been shipped. I've been put on back order one to many times.

LOL

@millieshops

Just out of curiosity how did you establish that the Target clothing, that are the identical fabrications to what you may be purchasing on the Q (and elsewhere) is of 'poor quality'?

I was there on Sunday myself and while I wasn't a fan of a good majority of the offerings (too long) I saw nothing in the construction or content that signaled inferior product...

Quacker Factory is worth the price for me. One of my Quacker t-shirts was purchased at least 20 years ago. It has a large embroidered sunflower on it and I usually only wear it in the fall but it still looks great and I still get compliments on it!

It's never been priced like Target or Walmart. I don't think $40 is too much for tee shirts of that quality.

Although Quacker Factory is expensive I tend to wear them more than almost anything I own. I love the tops. They had some good specials today at actually discounted prices. I think they are listening to us regarding a few dollars less was not a deal. I got two tunic tops and a white and gold grommet two piece jacket and tank set. I always wanted it but it was almost $65.00. It was less than $40.00 today. I always get the right size and have very little returns on anything I buy from QF. I have some of their things for years.

oh yeah, I forgot ! LOL I must be getting dementia or always had it and never knew it. ROFL

I like the way the Q boards keeps track of whose on a thread and when you want to summon someone you just type the @ and it brings up the ones present.

I was disappointed that there were no embroidered tops with a little bling for fall

I have a lot of Quacker tops and they hold up for multiple years. So with that, no I don't think it's way over priced. I would like to see anything be cheaper, but tops that are embroidered totally worth the expense.

The just sparkly ones could be a couple dollars cheaper. But again, the fabric holds up under pressure.

Target, Wal-Mart materials are thinner than paper! You don't get a full season out of them. Let alone years.

only thing I buy from Walmart (clothes) is their tops they keep folded on the shelves in the women's section they're like 7 and come in all colors. I buy Isaac pima cotton and C wonder when I want something heavier and more trendy with the curved hemline. Walmart has nice gowns too on occasion.

Those cheap tops can be worn under sweater, jackets, even coats if you don't want to look to bulky , but, still be warm.

$40 is a great price to pay for a great quality top that fits well. Sure, you can find $8 and $12 tops but you get what you pay for and I like to good nice in my clothes. I also don't care for disposable clothing which what you get for $10. I have QF tops that 4 years old and the are still in perfect condition.

Quacker Factory may not be the most fashion-forward line on QVC but one thing is always consistent: the fit is always right on the models and it's always flattering. No one ever looks 20 pounds heavier than they actually are while wearing Quacker Factory
