Quality Alert: Hanes Sweatpants

February 3rd, 2007 at 02:36 pm

Just noticed something and thought I would share. ARGH!!!!

I bought a new pair of Hanes Mens sweatpants at Target on Tuesday. I've lost my other pair, don't know where they are, and I wanted a pair b/c it was going to be cold.

Regardles. $7 on a new pair of sweatpants, and today I notice there's a hole in the crotch that wasn't there before. WTF! They can't even make pants that'll last a week?!???

Not sure what to do b/c I've spilled coffee on said sweatpants already, and I'm not comfortable taking a pair of stained pants back even with the receipt. So I'd have to wash them, and not sure if I'm comfortable washing something and taking it back either. Plus, I know it's not really Target's fault, Hanes quality control needs to learn how to do their job.

ARGH! I knew I should have bought a pair at the thrift store. They've already made it through the first week with someone else!

    If I were you I'd write or send an email to hanes saying what you said here. Their marketing people need the feedback. Tell them everything even why you don't want to bring them back to the retail store. And of course mention that you are sad that their brand is no longer a quality name you can trust...

    I think if you bring them back to the store that Target will either sell them again or toss them and never really give the company feedback.

    Take them back to Target! Target will make good on them. If you have your receipt showing that you just bought them, they'll take them back without any problems. It's not really your problem to contact the Hanes Co. Target guarentees their products...you shouldn't feel sorry for Target losing money. That's all a part of being a retailer...

    So, in other words, you're saying that you wear men's underpants? Wink

    i said sweatpants, not hot pants! and yes, they're men's. why? because they were made of a thicker material than the women's and still cost 10 bucks less... i prefer men's jeans too, b/c they fit better. which, i must say, still makes NO SENSE to me at all!

    I think it is very funny that BA made a comment regarding men's underpants but completly missed commenting about your wood stove with the raised letters "All Nighter" - wake up BA, a blind man would have caught that one!

    Vizsla, you're the first person who's caught that, and i've posted pics of the woodstove before!!! it cracked me and DH up when we first looked at the house, but it definitely went on the list of positives.
