Before they got their problems straight (allegedly), the Smitty's slacks had sizing issues, clasp issues and workmanship issues. They were the worst slacks I ever tried.
If they solved those problems, great, but I still threw away 100 bucks trying two pairs of this inexcusably poor crap (slacks, shipping and tailoring). One pair was worn and washed three times, and the other pair was worn and washed twice. Two pairs of slacks: two improperly sized pairs of slacks with clasps that are tearing out and pocket buttons that fall off and waistbands that bunch. They sucked as badly as a new pair of slacks can suck. No such problems with any other brand.
The shirts are pretty good, however. I'm open-minded enough to say it: they're good shirts. Irrespective of all of that, the Smitty's company is a typical American company willing to take any shortcuts in quality and workmanship in order to make an undeservedly high profit at the expense of forever angering scores of members of their customer base. And the only way they'll ever know is to watch their sales disappear like they should after foisting this unusable crap on us.
... Name change!
