[quote=Anonymous]I feel well qualified to comment on this since I have two packages ready to ship back to gap with all my returns.

I bought a vintage cropped hoodie. Pros: great, modern Gen Z fit, lovely color. But, it was made so cheaply--very thin, flimsy fabric, no pockets, and they used black thread to stitch on the logo label inside the hoodie, so there were little black threads visible on the outside of the hoodie (!!). For 60 bucks, the quality was just not there. Also the color/design felt very late 90s Victoria Secret sweatshirt.

I bought modern crew and v neck t-shirts. The fit of the t-shirts varied WILDLY from color to color and neckline. Literally looked like a completely different shirt.

I bought a vintage indigo dyed t-shirt. the hem was weirdly uneven and the fit across the chest/shoulders was weirdly baggy. It was truly unflattering.

The Vintage 100% cotton short sleeve t shirts  I bought last summer are also really poorly fitted and developed holes almost instantly.

The shiny satin button down shirts looked like something from 2002-era Express, catering to the non-college-educated admin assistant who wants a shirt she can wear to work and the club.

Anyway I was disappointed by both the quality and the fit of most of the garments. However, I was recently in Target and was completely shocked by how crappy the quality was. Gap, by comparison, was slightly nicer quality. Uniqlo is also slipping into crappiness.

It feels like all the traditional mall stores are trying to compete with the cheap online retailers, instead of providing consumers with actual quality fabrics and good fits. So dumb, because what sets companies like Gap apart is the perception that you are buying some quality basics.

Also the designs look like someone put a bunch of late 90s/early 2000s clothing catalogs into the AI machine and hit "reproduce, but make it 70% crappier" and that's what we have to buy. :([/quote]
