Reply to comment by Cleanclock in Anyone having issues with new dickies stuff? On the right is their old 834 shorts I've worn for years and on the left their new "everyday" shorts after barely two months of use! by SuperDidier

They buy in large enough quantities they ask the brand and manufacturer to make them a specific way to hit a price point in their stores that they sell them for. They’re never the exact same model or anything that would buy directly from the brand or something. The items are often one digit off and tough to find on the tag.

Same goes for Black Friday stuff. They order shit specifically made to be sold on Black Friday and no other day. It’s fair shittier bc it has to be sold so cheaply at their stores. Electronics are a great example.

This is shocking to me that it’s not illegal. It’s been the issue I’ve had with Amazon prime for the last few years but I didn’t realize all retailers are doing this too. You think you’re buying quality name brand, but shoddy, low quality merchandise arrives instead.

But directly from the manufacturer to avoid it. Also, if you’re an American, I ask when has this country protected consumers over corporations in the past two decades? C’mon.
