Default New uniform arrived

Received my uniform shipment today, I put the quality level on par with a cheap costume.

Absolutely horrible

1. Thread count on the Jacket weak, buttons barely sewn on,
2. The tie, as cheap and as light weight as anything I have ever seen
3. The shirts, thin and DIRECT from China,

Didn't even get around the putting on the pants

This is embarrassing

Anyone else get their Prize

I haven't received mine yet, but that's disappointing to hear. As often as we wear our uniforms and are in public view (as opposed to sitting behind a desk in an office), it should be imperative that we have a quality uniform vendor. Once again, Jeffy is only concerned about the cost of everything, but knows the value of nothing. We need to turn this ship around and it will have to start at the top...

I hope I can get five-ten years of wear from the new uniform since that is how long I will be proudly displaying it. Can't afford to replace it every two years.

Mine arrived two weeks ago. It is horrible. Hate the wide dictator stripes, color, quality and feel. Looks like something a cheap hotel concierge might wear.

Heard that there was one candidate for the uniform that looked sharp and made by Brooks Brothers - of course that wasn't the winning style.

Mine is in as we'll....jacket isn't HALF the quality of the old jacket (literally)...half the weight, half the threads on the buttons. If you wear it 1/2 the year maybe, but international guys are screw- d. Shirts and pants are workable...tie, totally pathetic! 100% polyester and totally unwearable if not the clip-on or zipper type.
- one highlight!....hat is top notch, I think...commuters will hate it...there is no chance this will "fold" into a rollerboard.
