Thanks good to know.

Its the same case with GAP vs GAP Factory.
This brand dilution is happening everywhere (Sadly). Thi sisnt just at store level its happening at the Brand level too.

JCPenny has the Stafford brand. They launched a Stafford "Essentials" sub brand and its pure junk. So sad, what manufacturers/brands are doing to compete with China. China, is killing entire product categories.

Bought these before with the same cyber Monday deal and returned them. The quality it quite poor. They look ruined after one wash on a gentle cycle and air dried.

Bad reviews on the website, complaints that the sweaters fall apart on the first wash.

I agree. It's practically a different brand. I ordered some sweaters and dress shirts. The dress shirts don't fit like normal BR and the sweaters were extremely thin and feel like the cheapest sweaters in my closet. I threw the sweaters away and only wear the shirts when I know I'm going to a facility that I might ruin a shirt in.

another major point is that you cannot return items to the BR stores like you think you can.

Similar experiences as above. Better materials than Gap (on paper), worse quality than Gap.

I'm sure most SDr's know this, all "Factory" and "Outlet"' stores sell products made specifically for them and they are cheaper as they are inferior to regular store items. They're aimed at a specific market of people.

While I agree with the brand dilution part, I dont think that its China who is killing the brands. The finger can be pointed to fast fashion. We all want better looking clothes at a cheaper price, so brands go right to the bottom of the barrel. Most of these clothes are manufactured in the cheapest place possible (China is no longer the cheapest for clothes.).
Even I have a blame to share. While I know that a good merino wool sweater cant be had for 20 bucks, I find it difficult to resist the temptation.

Can Stylecash stack with these promos? Only Mens has 15% off extra?

Buyer beware
Return shipping on items to be returned is on buyer. You can also return to Banana factory store but those are in outlet malls and gas cost would be higher for most buyers.

Hi there, the StyleCash coupons do not stack w/ other coupons - exceptions are cardholder rewards. Min spend threshold required for redemptions.

  • $11.09 + $19.49 = $30.58
  • $30.58 - $15 StyleCash = $15.08 After StyleCash
SPEND REDEEM
$30 - $49.99 $15 in StyleCash
$50 - $99.99 $25 in StyleCash
$100 - $149.99 $50 in StyleCash
$150 - $199.99 $75 in StyleCash
$200 or more $100 in StyleCash

Honestly! I bought a merino wool sweater from BR factory during a sale like this in-store and didn't think too much of how thin it was, given most affordable ones are. But, it was too late when I found out after my 30 day return window closed that it had holes in it. This wasn't clearance, mind you. Never again will I shop in their factory outlets, not even if I'm gifting it for my in-laws
