I have bought two men’s shirts from C2C and have been on average a C-. One shirt is an A and the other is a D. The problem is very simple: the company has more than a few suppliers and there is seemingly ZERO standardization of size. One of my shirts (a plaid and buttery soft) flannel fits me beautifully and I am quite literally wearing daily and am wearing out. Another shirt, same price, same general style, (not flannel) has shrunk in sleeve length and THAT drives me cuckoo! So I don’t wear it. That means I have gotten $200 worth of wear out of one shirt and $0 worth of the other. C2C is spotty and I know I’ll be looking elsewhere for my men’s furnishings.

Sizes are inconsistent; return policy and refund calculation are convoluted. My first order was for one shirt, size small: it fit perfectly, so I ordered one more of the same shirt. My subsequent order was for two shirts, both size small: one was at least one size too large and the other was 2-3 sizes too large. Returning the improperly-sized shirts cost me the initial exorbitant shipping cost of $17.95 plus a return shipping fee of $7.95, so in effect, I paid over $25 just to try on 2 shirts from a company that is based about a mile from my home. On the plus side: items appear to be of high quality, and customer service is responsive (when I expressed concern about how my refund was calculated, I was reimbursed the $7.95 return shipping fee); hence, the 3 stars. Because I don't want to deal with any more problematic potential returns to Carbon2Cobalt, however, I will not be a repeat customer.
