 Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
Suuure....
How about this: I have tables with before and after specs on both. However, instead of me posting these, why don't you post your actual, exact specs?
Man, it drives me nuts when I see this. I have no axe to grind with EPac and hope they do well. They have been way above average with me for service, and their pricing is great. But please, I have worked with apparel far too long for "opinions" and generalizations like the one about tumble drying. Please.
The apparel business is inherently subjective enough already. People already opine about products too much. It used to drive me crazy when one of my developers would come to me recommending a blank because they liked it - personally. I have stuff that I like also, and sometimes, in some cases, that is how I choose. But this forum should also have information for people to make business choices. And I can tell you all that there are definitely people on here who - what was it called...astroturfing? - are manipulating the posts to promote their company.
If this is really going to be an ongoing debate, then I will take some of the BRAND NEW AA and EPac shirts I have, measure them both before and after, wash and dry them together, post the specs, and take digital pics all everything for some additional verification. I already did this test, already know the results, and do not see a need. But, if my credibility is going to be questioned with generalizations, then I can.
As an alternative though, I hope that companies evolve and improve their product until it TESTS out to meet or exceed the market leaders.
