Business Shirts

Published by SJ at 4:16 am under General

Why the hell do they wrap these bastards in clips, trace paper, ribbons, bits of string, plastic covering, plastic button clips, cardboard collar supports and worst of the worst those freaking little pins!!!!

Surely pins in stuck in random areas of newly purchased clothing is a huge safety factor? Its just a matter of time really until some poor unsuspecting bugger pokes and eye out with one when he goes up to scratch his ear. Where the hell are those precious workplace health and safety people when you have a real problem? Probably at the pub giggling at how much they can charge the government per hour for consulting fees that’s where.

Just when you have sorted through all the BS and beaten the maze of wrapping/packing crap you try it on and it doesn’t fit. “Oh” says the niff sales assistant “yes, that shirt does have a small cut, that’s right”. Smaller cut!!!!!!????? Why the hell do these show pony good for nothing clothing companies want to be different and have a different sizing regime to the industry standard.

Note to clothing industry, sort yourselves out and standardise on a world wide universal sizing methodology or I will walk store to store and introduce your staff to the universal version of PAIN!

    A pet hate of mine too SJ. Imagine how much happier they could make their customers if they sold their shirts on hangers!

    Last few shirts i’ve purchased have come straight off the hanger. No stupid clips, no holes in your shirt from the pins and it doesn’t need to be ironed before the first trip into the office.

    Let me get this straight. You don’t like your shirts to be packed and protected from getting dirty? So just chuck a whole lot of new shirts into cardboard boxes and onto trucks? That seems silly to me.

    Velcro you don’t wash your shirts after you buy them and before you wear them?

    Rob B,

    I never said “not packed or protected” I said “Why the hell do they wrap these bastards in clips, trace paper, ribbons, bits of string, plastic covering, plastic button clips, cardboard collar supports and worst of the worst those freaking little pins!!!!”

    A plastic cover would be sufficient.
