Decline in Workmanship As They've Gone Higher Volume
Wife had purchased a pair of leggings for me for cool-weather festivals and shows. She'd previously purchased several items from them and was quite pleased with them. Initially, I was also pleased with mine. Unfortunately, after the third wearing, the left thigh seam started to fail. Given that they were properly sized and properly cared for, this was perplexing. Upon looking at the other, still intact seams, it was easy to see why the seams were failing: they were poorly crafted. I'd post pictures but this site doesn't seem to support that option. At any rate, the seams are not even – along their length, they're not flat and the higher side switches along the length of a given seam, sometimes multiple times. Also puckering on some seams. The seam-stitching method also seems poorly selected for the fabric type. Fortunately, my wife has the knowhow and equipment to fix the problems. However, given the price paid, it's more than a bit galling that they're less well-constructed than off-the-shelf stuff I've bought at half the price. Disappointing as this seems to be a change from the quality of clothing they used to make. I'm guessing Workmanship has become a casualty of the increased amount of orders they're handling since moving off of Etsy. Note: they were contacted before I left this review. Even though the issue was workmanship, their response was essentially, "sorry: it's too late for us to offer any kind of redress". I guess screw me for not having enough occasions to have worn them a fourth time since October of 2021 and screw me for not knowing I needed to do a detailed examination of them (I didn't think they were going to be of such low quality compared to wife's prior purchases that they'd have needed such an examination).
