I haven't bought any fashion from here in a very long time--- I did once upon a time. I do still have 1 pr of D & C jean --and a couple of Issacs hoodies from  years ago-- but mostly, I shop online else where. Have a few clothing stores near me that I shop at--- Eddie Bauer, TJ Maxx, Ross and of course, Target. There is a Nordstrom Rack nearby too. Don't need much of a varied wardrobe anymore either

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 noticed D &C prices going up a few weeks ago. Not much I can afford anymore at the Q so haven't been watching very much.

@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.

Ive noticed a number of businesses laying off employees by the 100's. Sad 😔 Our economy sucks.

I find my D and C on ebay.  All brand new.

It's not just Denim & Co, prices have increased for everything. Don't forget the minimum wage increase that played a role in prices going up. My neighbor owns a few McDonald's. When people pushed for a living wage, the result was a dramatic increase to minimum wage. My neighbor eliminated jobs by installing order kiosks in his restuarants. This helped to pay the higher minimum wage to remaining employees. In addition, he had to increase menu prices.
