Buyer beware

I cannot recommend this product from this seller to anyone. It was not a "first quality" garment, as I explained to the seller during several feed-back letters. It was not "first quality" because during its original construction it was not cut straight (it was cut off the grain). I know this because I de-constructed the garment (I was going to create an embroidered jacket from the sweatshirt for my little granddaughter). It should be noted that I have some credibility as a seamstress and costume-maker with somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 hours of sewing experience that includes garment construction, garment de-construction, and garment re-construction. I have made hundreds of garments and I am an award-winning costumer. Although I consider myself a "hobbyist," I believe I would qualify as an advanced sewer.I realized I could not return the item to the seller since, by de-constructing it, it was no longer in "new" condition. Unfortunately, the seller assumed a defensive attitude, stating that if a replacement was sent to me, I would probably find something wrong with it, too. This is true, but only if the garment was not "first quality," as the seller claimed their garments to be. To be fair, the seller did respond immediately by email to my inquiry. Also, to be equally fair, this was the third time I've ordered this item. The first two items were from a different seller and they were, indeed, "first quality." The same item from this seller was not "first quality." Buyer beware regarding a product from this seller.
