I just wanted to respond as well to the owner's feedback, which I respect but that does not change my rating. I'll try to keep the glibness in check here (oops, too late! I just ooze glib...).
I do understand how a review might affect a business, but your store caters to a niche that I doubt would take my opinion too seriously. However, for those other frugal (cheap?) folks out there, in MY niche, I wanted to satisfy their curiosity if they had any, about your product. And for the record, my husband and I have plenty of Kohl's quality items in our closets that have lasted 5+ years. It's simply about taking care of your possessions. Sometimes, tho, you have to wonder about spending the money on certain fashions (like lumberjack), as their quality could outlast their trend or usefulness. Denim is everlasting, but then I've never paid more than $50 for "quality" jeans either. I have several shirts that I paid $20 for in my closet that I now question why I ever jumped on that trend, but it's no big loss if it never rolls around again.
In this instance, maybe I am becoming like my parents, who raised us to be frugal. But I am a rare breed that doesn't mind turning into my folks. I respect that trait and would rather be extravagant in my life experiences than in my possessions.
And I will admit that we did indeed see some $40 t-shirts but I felt that was just a redundant argument for my point. A $40. white. t-shirt. Granted it was super duper soft and bff and I thought about buying them for pillowcases, but again, my pillowcases get soft naturally from years of drool and washings. Also I wondered about the nipple factor with those. Would one have to wear a shirt under that shirt or band aids?
I don't appreciate being made out as someone who doesn't support local business. I do shop locally for alot of things but don't feel that has to be synonymous with overpriced goods.
I wish you luck with your business. Again, I have no doubt that your customer base is oblivious to my thoughts and you do seem to have a big fan base here on Yelp, but I will continue to buy inexpensive clothes and save my pennies for more important things.
