FADED GLORY BRAND CLOTHING HAS POOR QUALITY PRODUCT.
MYSELF AND MY FAMILY HAVE BEEN WAL-MART CUSTOMERS FOR MANY MANY YEARS. IN THAT TIME WE HAVE PURCHACED LOTS OF FADED GLORY BRAND CLOTHING. IN RECENT YEARS HOWEVER, THE FADED GLORY BRAND QUALITY HAS GONE DOWN.
I PURCHASE TWO PAIR OF FADED GLORY JEANS AND THE THIRD TIME I WORE THEM THE SIDE SPLIT OUT, ON BOTH PAIR. MY FATHER HAS HAD THE SAME FATE WITH SEVERAL PAIRS OF HIS FADED GLORY BLUE JEANS.
I HAVE ALSO BOUGHT MY NEPHEW A PACKAGE OF BOYS FADED GLORY UNDERWEAR. THE FIRST TIME HE PUT THEM ON THE ELASTIC RIPPED AWAY. I RETURNED THAT PACKAGE TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT UNDERWEAR DO THE VERY SAME THING. I RETURNED THE UNDERWEAR FOUR TIMES AND HAD THE SAME RESULT BEFORE I FINALLY ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK TO BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND.
WE BUY FADED GLORY BRAND FOR THE REASONABLE PRICES, AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE ARE ALSO USED TO THEM WEARING OUT A LITTLE BIT FASTER THAN A HIGHER PRICED ITEM. BUT WE HAVE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO GET A COUPLE YEARS WORTH OF USE OF THE CLOTHING. HAVING THE CLOTHING FALL APART THE VERY FIRST TIME IT IS WORE IS AN OUTRAGE! IF THIS CONTINUES WE MAY FEEL THE NEED TO SHOP ELSEWHERE FOR A BRAND WE CAN TRUST TO LAST AT LEAST A YEAR.

I will no longer purchase Faded Glory jeans. I recently purchased 2 pairs online from Walmart and after the first wash there are holes on each of the top sides of rear pockets. I have had these jeans in the past with the same type of problems. I thought I would give them another try. It turns out I just wasted my money.

recently purchased 5 pairs of leggings and for some reason when I took the label off the sticky stuff stayed on the leggings. I haven't been able to get it off yet. Do you know how I can get the gummy stuff of?

I have noticed the quality degenerating too, and the zipper on the last pair I bought broke within a few days. In public. I won't be getting this brand again, especially after reading all these posts.
If anyone has any luck reaching them, here is all the contact info I could find:

I Bought Some Faded Glory Polo Shirts For Myself XXL. The Buttons Are To Small And Won't Stay Buttoned To At Wal-Mart. I Bought Other Polo Shirts At Kmart No Problem. The Kmart Shirts Are About 8 Years Ago. They Stay Buttoned From Day 1. So Now I Buy My Polo Shirts At Kmart. Their Called Basic Editions. Best Shirts I Ever Bought. I Shop Kmart A Lot.

I purchased a couple of faded glory polo shirts at my local Wal-Mart tonight. 29 October 2016. And the complain I have is that is that Wal-Mart or faded glory never has shirts or pants for the big man a 3x fits by the lenth is to short this is why I have to buy a 4x and the aren't cheap or made to last. I was wonder if the faded glory company could make these polo shirts with a longer lenth. thank you

I have bought Faded Glory clothing before and have NEVER had a problem. I bought a pair of Slimming Jean and they happened to be a little tight. I didn't want to return them so I lost a little weight. I tried them on and they fit and Looked great, but had a strange odor. I had to wear black that day so I washed them but to my surprise the odor not only didn't wash away but the other clothes I washed them with picked up this strange odor. I went to Walmart a few days later and went to look for the same jeans (which I found) and sniffed a new pair and they too had this odor. I have washed my jeans 3 times and can't get rid of the smell. I have washed them alone the last 3 times. My other clothes did get the odor out (thank goodness). I just wanted you to be aware of this.

I purchased a pair or Faded Glory shoes a couple months ago: Walt Ice 5030032, Men's Casual. they looked great and are comfortable, but the first time I wore then, the color started pealing off them.It seems these shoes started out white then were painted with some kind of paint to make them tan and now that I have worn them for a couple weeks, they really look terrible due to the tan paint pealing off. I am definitely done with Faded Glory shoes.

Just bought a pair of Faded Glory Canvas Shoes for my 4 year old Daughter, shes maybe only worn them a couple of times and ALREADY the insoles have fallen out. I paid $5.95 at Wal-Mart for them. Guess you really do get what you pay for...junk. Now i've gotta wait at least 2 more weeks to replace them. Whats with the poor quality? easy answer...to get our money.

I LOVE the new Faded Glory stretch jeans! I bought 3 boot cut and 2 skinny jeans size 16A (A is for average) they have petite also (16P P for petite). I am tall so the Average size fits perfect and so do the jeans! I'm a big girl and finding jeans that fit is a challenge but FADED GLORY FIT PERFECTLY and they are SOOO COMFORTABLE! WALMART HAS THEM!

The quality of faded glory has gone way down. I have been buying faded glory shorts for years and could get 2, 3 even 4 years of wear. This year I bought my normal size admist the noticable cheap quality. When I got home and tried them on, they were way to big. I exchanged them for the next size down and they fit good till I washed them. Ok it took a little work to stretch them out so I could wear them but the second time they were washed they shrunk so much that now I can't wear them. I'm on a fixed income and Clothes is not on my priority list unless I'm in need. Which I am. Now there's no more shorts around in my size since it's fall in most parts of the country. I live in Yuma Az and we don't have seasons. It's summer all year and there isn't any shorts to buy.

I have wore faded glory for years. I recently purchased a new pair of women's boot cut, since the others finally wore out, and noticed the smell and also that the front pockets are a lot smaller. I work outside and like to have my keys with me and they keep falling out. Please go back to the larger front pockets and don't try to improve them any more. If they don't change I guess I will have to consider a different brand next time. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I am in total agreement with the comments above. I recently purchased two pair of chino's for work; one black and one beige because the dress code says shorts are a no-no. When I buy things off the rack, I have NEVER needed to check every detail before purchasing. I check that the stitching is okay, buttons all attached, no holes, no stains; the basic check.

Imagine my surprise when I tried to put my lunch money in my back pocket. Both back pockets are stitched shut, and if I try to remove the stitching to use them as real pockets, there is another row of stitching in the way. Why are there white material "pretend pockets" in these pants if they are not able to be used as pockets? This makes absolutely NO sense. I bet this would NOT happen in the men's department with their back pockets, because they USE their back pockets for wallets and such.

I guess it's time to rethink buying my pants in the men's department so all pockets will be functioning, real pockets.

I have not had issues with the quality of Faded Glory clothing but I have had issues with the style or cut. I have recently donated two plus size tops that were only worn once to the local clothing bank. I had purchased these tops in the last few months. The only thing wrong with these tops was the low necklines. I have avoided purchasing other Faded Glory tops if the necklines appeared to be too low and they often do. The first one was a heather blue short sleeved Henley. The neckline was so low that when I bent forward at the waist the top hung down so low that everything from my chest to my legs was visible. The second one was a gray and white long sleeved top. The sleeves and trim around the neckline were gray. The body of the top was gray and white stripped. The fabric was a little heavier than normal and was soft. I really liked this top but the neckline was so low that I had to dispose of it. This top would be worn in cooler weather but it did not keep me warm because parts of my back, shoulders, and chest were exposed due to the low neckline. If anyone from manufacturing or design of these products is interested the numbers off the tag of the gray and white top are: RN 52469, style FGW44220HST, EAN#[protected]. If the necklines continue to be low I will not purchase these products in the future.

I'm confused by the sizing of faded glory jeans. My son is wearing size 7s, they fit him nicely. When he got a hole in one of the knees I went to walmart and picked up a new pair of the same size. The new jeans are 4inches longer and huge around the waist. Can anyone explain why two pairs of jeans tagged the same size are so different?

I recently bought a pair of dark denim Faded Glory Jeans and they fit perfect except they had a TERRIBLE SMELL that I could NOT GET OUT even after washing them over and over. I tried every thing on them and the smell of FORMALDEHYDE would not come out. Even my skin smelled like Formaldehyde. What chemicals are they putting on our clothes? If it is formaldehyde it is a known CARCINOGEN. FADED GLORY PLEASE STOP USING CHEMICALS IN YOUR CLOTHES.

Walmart forces companies to lower their wholesale prices. They have no choice. Walmart is the largest purchaser of goods and without them companies go bankrupt. To accommodate the lower prices they must use cheaper materials and workmanship. Sometimes that means taking the manufacturing into foreign countries where child labor is utilized, workers are paid next to nothing and working standards are deplorable. This in return is ruining everything that Walmart touches. Sure we pay those roll back prices but we are buying shoddy merchandise that barely makes it out of the package intact. It is sad to see Faded Glory products, once known for quality goods, now turning out crap. I will be throwing out my jacket and hoping to get something in a brand not carried by Walmart.

I also bought Faded Glory jean leggings and after the third time wearing them the elastic on top came apart. Faded Glory used to make better quality products but now it's produced like crap. I will never buy Faded Glory again.

This is the best avenue to go considering Faded Glory is a Product marketed by Walmart primarily. I would start writing to this address and complain directly to them. this is the last known ownership. off of this website:

I bought a pair of black Faded Glory jeans & a pair of their regular jeans. I really like their jeans except the black pair I only got to wear once. When i wash them and hung them outside (I use a clothes line in the summer) they started smelling like they were ironed with a real hot iron (they smell burnt) I can't get the smell out, I have tried just about everything from vinegar to leaving them hang out on my porch in the rain. I will probably go back to wranglers even tho they are expensive they seem to last.

Until recently, I've had pretty god luck with the Faded Glory brand overall but now I'm seeing a problem that the company needs to address. For the first time, I decided to try a 6 pack of their cotton briefs, UPC # 8 [protected] and after 1 wash the elastic in the legs was shot. The briefs are no longer wearable since they constantly ride up your butt and if I wanted a thong...I would have bought a thong. I'm going to take them back to Walmart, but I guess the quality control is a thing of the past.

Try a different brand if possible. :l Yes it might take a few different ones to find what "fits". I typically buy jeans from like 4-5 different brands. Yeah sizing is a bit different in each but heck I'd rather buy a BU from Malibu that costs 18.99 that has been marked down from say 30 dollars. At least then I know there's quality in the material especially when I feel the material. Plus the Bu from Malibu pair I've had for 2 -3 years are turning out to be great jeans for Steel Welding. Honestly if a product isn't working on the second try IT IS NOT WORTH RETRYING 4-5 TIMES REFUNDING or REPLACING. Yeah it's cheap what do you expect.
That's like expecting a bad dish of food to taste good even after trying it 5 times and it doesnt.
A person can change it by trying something different when making the dish. Geez, and the same logic follows with clothes. IF A PAIR OF JEANS/APPAREL is not working TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT IF POSSIBLE.

i bought a couple of shirts from walmart. i have washed them, and the red and blue ones turns my arm the color of the shirt. i have washed the shirt over ten times, and it still dyes my arms. how many times do you have to wash a shirt for the dye to stop staining you., i will never buy another shirt again.

I keep buying Faded Glory Jeans...but issue stayes the same...after a few washes the bottoms of the pockets gives way. Is this the way you keep costs down by using almost tissue paper like cloth to make the pockets out of. Nothing worse than a grown man walkng down the street then suddenly everything in those pocekts comes tingling out onto the ground.
I love the fit an the styling of the jeans..an in todays world I think you get your moneys worth...but if my cash keeps going threw the bottom of my pockets..won't have any cash to buy more (been using extra cash to buy safety pins to seal thse holes up.)

SO here is to hope that someone from Faded glory reads all these an tries to do something to fix the issues

I purchased both panties and long sleeved Ts. The price was good but to what avail? The panties split down the sides, not on the seams, on the first time worn. The Ts have very tight sleeves and enormous necks. We live 60 miles from the nearest store and can not just run over and exchange things. I won't buy from faided glory again.

I purchased 2 Flannel Faded Glory shirts for my son, after washing one arm is shorter than the other, and they are both now too short to wear. I had pictures done the first day we got them and we hadn't washed them yet, it's amazing the difference from the shrinking. I am so frustrated, I just got the shirts 3 weeks ago, I would have hoped they would have at least lasted 6 months!

I disagree with that. FG is a good company. Kids grow out of stuff so quickly, how long does it have to last? It is also very inexpencive. I recentaly got a very cute jacket from FG.
