[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1315047, member: 14668"] Back when the uniforms were US-made and of good quality, I had no problem asking my wife to sew on the occasional button or mend the occasional frayed seam because they lasted for years and were made well enough to be worth fixing. Now the uniforms are garbage, made in Chinese or Bangladeshi sweatshops. I have had crotch seams unravel and split on the first wearing; I have had buttons fall off of brand new shirts during the process of removing them from the bag. Even if the buttons and seams do survive, the material very quickly becomes threadbare and discolored from repeated washings. I'm not going to ask my wife to waste her personal time trying to repair trash. As far as I am concerned, UPS has made a business decision to issue us disposable uniforms so I will respect that decision and simply throw mine away and demand a replacement in 5 or 6 months when they are no longer suitable. If UPS does not wish to replace my uniforms at such a short interval then it can make a different choice as far as the quality that it chooses to buy. [/QUOTE]
