Shrank up a lot, December 29, 2010

By 

Wyatt Camp “hbunny” (Seattle, WA USA) – See all my reviews

  

Seller delivered quickly and the pants were as advertised. Unfortunately, when washed, this particular brand shrank up almost six inches in length. While my wife got a good laugh at me in the high-waters, they’re neither comfortable nor practical. The waistband still fits, so I’m not sure if going up to a large would work (I’m 32″ waist, 32″ inseam – the shrunk pants are probably 32″ waist, 28″ inseam). The sizing is just too unpredictable to recommend.

Manpris. . . yuck, December 12, 2010

Lightweight and soft, but WAY too short. Seriously, these will be clam-diggers on any guy over 5’10″. Don’t even think about buying them for a 6’4″ guy unless you want a really good laugh.

Great to start, shrink terribly after washing., January 9, 2011

By 

C. Riley – See all my reviews

  

As other reviewers have noted, these were great to start but the length of the pants literally shrunk 4-5 inches after the first washing making them impractical for more than one usage unless you don’t intend to wash them ever.

I purchased one pair, loved them, purchased a second the next day. Washed them both and now both are so short as to be unusable. I expected better from Hanes.

Even though the “Product Description” says “Made of fine soft knit 60% cotton/ 40% polyester” these are 100% cotton according to the label on the pajama pants.

I love this bathrobe!!!, January 6, 2009

I first tried this particular brand and style of bathrobe at a resort in Las Vegas, and liked it so much that I ordered my own as soon as I got back home. The bathrobe is amazing. It is very soft and lightweight, yet at the same time it keeps you incredibly warm and comfortable. This is by far the most comfortable and nicest bathrobe I have ever owned.

Chenille Robe, July 1, 2010

My mom had been wanting a knee lenght, lightweight, durable Chenille robe and couldn’t find one. I saw this robe on Amazon and ordered it for her in the Wisteria color. She received it yesterday and just loves it. She said it fits perfect and is so soft and the quality is excellent and loves the color (compares to lilac). She was just thrilled! Considering ordering one for myself!

Buy this robe – you’ll love it!, November 27, 2010

I stayed at the Morro Bay Inn where they had complimentary Colorado Clothing robes for guests. It was freezing cold at night, so I ended up sleeping in the robe over my pjs. I fell in love with the robe and wanted to buy it from the Inn, but it was . I went online and found the same robe on Amazon for , plus it was available in a heather gray color which I really like (they call it “Swiss Gray”). For a few years I’ve been wearing a Gap “softest robe” but I found it didn’t breathe, making it really hot after a while. This Colorado Clothing robe is lightweight yet warm and very, very soft.

A Winner!, December 31, 2006

By 

L. M. MACLEAN “If too many books were a crime…” (Massachusetts) – See all my reviews

  

My nephew asked for this coat for Christmas. I couldn’t believe the quality when I got it in the mail. We are outdoor people, and we have many labradors. The fabric is so tough that no branch or dog jumping up can damage it. It’s got a waterproof coating so rain beads off. This coat was made to last forever, it’s very warm, and it looks good to boot. He hasn’t taken it off yet. In fact, he asked for the same fabric coveralls to wear over the jacket for brush clearing work in the extreme cold.

The duck fabric is indestructible; the “sandstone” is a softer fabric. The regular duck is still comfortable; just wanted you to know the difference. I don’t think that the microsanded one would last as long, but if you’re just wearing it for looks and not rugged work I would say it’s okay.

Chryston D. Davis “resaw1″ (Redding, Cal) – See all my reviews

  

This jacket is great for days when it is around 40 degrees. Any lower I would reccomend a heavier model.

EXCELLENT! SIMPLY EXCELLENT!, January 22, 2010

By 

Claude H. Suddreth “Opinion Expert” (Phoenix, AZ USA) – See all my reviews

  

The title pretty much says it all. This coat is of top quality workmanship and materials. I have wore Dickies for a long time and have always been happy with them. However I wanted to try Carhartt since they are close competitors in this space. Comparing the two products I would say that the Carhartt products tend to run about 1/2 size smaller than Dickies so keep that in mind when ordering. Not a full size – but if you are close to your size limit with a Dickies then you might need to go a size larger with Carhartt to avoid it being too tight. The outer Duck material is very comparable to the material found in Dickies – no real difference that I can see. The inner lining does seem to be an upgrade from the lining in a Dickies – it just feels – thicker – and more durable. The zipper is a strong brass job and may be slightly more robust feeling when you zip it than Dickies. The woven cuffs, particularly on the sleeves, are tighter and feel more durable than dickies. Other than these things, they are really more alike than different from what I can see. The price difference between the two was only .00 with the Carhartt being the slightly more expensive. I think there is enough quality difference to justify a price variance of this amount. I would certainly not pay 50% more or double for the Carhartt name, but if you can find this item on sale like it is at present on Amazon for .95 – it is a very good deal on an absolutely outstanding product. In terms of wear, I just got back from a trip to Boston in January. Snow and ice, wet weather, about 20 degrees outside, with constant 15 to 20 mph winds. This jacket kept me nice and warm the entire time without the slightest chill, and no moisture or wind penetration whatsoever. It is not bulky, not heavy, and was just the right size and weight for the weather at hand. You might need some more insulation if you live in an area that goes sub zero, but for normal winter wear, this jacket is as perfect as I have ever seen.

Ultra comfortable, March 7, 2011

A big fan of Texeresilk’s silk merchandise, this is my first bamboo piece from them. The company stays true to its high quality products. The bamboo is ultrasoft, breathes well, has just the right amount of stretch to it, and drapes nicely. The turquoise color is a little more green than blue. It’s a very comfortable nightshirt, and the perfect length for not getting tangled up at night. Very pleased with it, and look forward to seeing more of Texeresilk’s bamboo products in the future. Texeresilk ships promptly, has excellent customer service, and really cares about having happy customers.

Excellent, soft, lovely, March 13, 2012

As a man, I cannot speak for how this feels on my own skin, but I can tell you that my wife looks very lovely in it. She (and I) enjoy the feel of the material, and the quality of the product as well. We are also ‘conscious consumers,’ and the fact that this is Eco-friendly is a nice bonus. The product is durable and seems very long-lasting, so I can recommend it with no reservations.

Love this nightgown, April 12, 2012

By 

D. Dietrich (NJ USA) – See all my reviews

  

This nightgown looks great. The malachite color I chose is very flattering and the drape is quite attractive. Add to all these superlative that the nightgown is super comfortable. The bamboo based fabric is wonderful for those of us experiencing hot flashes. This is my new favorite nightgown!

great work coat, December 27, 2010

I work outside all year round. Use this in the fall, winter, and spring as a work coat. Holds off the water well due to its ruff finish, but is not waterproof. This model isnt sandstone washed, but that also gives it that more rugged tough appearance. Granted when its real cold, like below 0F degrees you might want to wear something else like a heavy sweater on underneath, but over all great coat. I wear it crawling under homes, up on roofs, walking through brush, you name it. Last one I had lasted 6 years, and just finally wore out with what I would consider heavy abusive useage. Well worth the 70 bucks.For the Average consumer it should last many years. Runs a little large on sizes. Typically I wear a XL, but ended up using the large-tall size-I am 6 foot tall. Picture makes it look like a swearshirt zip up, but its much heavier then that. Run it through the dryer if it gets wet or after wash to “puff” up the insulation-use a paper clip or metal twist tie to hold the zipper pull or it will clank like crazy in the dryer. Also helps keep the zipper pull from breaking off during the wash and dry cycle.

Warm, Tough, And Built To Last, December 7, 2010

Bought this jacket because I needed something warm when I work outside. Decided on this Carhartt and I’m glad I did. I can chop wood and handle all my dirty jobs, while staying warm and not worrying about any tearing or damage to my coat. The duck is extremely tough and the quilted lining inside is so comfy and warm… Overall the quality of this Carhartt is Superior to all and to say the least EXCELLENT!!! I am Extremely Happy to know that I will enjoy this product for many years to come..
