Costco Customers Say You Should Avoid These 2 Low-Quality Clothing Items
Looking for quality clothing is always a challenge -- but looking for quality clothing at discount prices is even more so. However, Costco is among one of the many stores that tout great products at low prices. It's also clear that the Costco Kirkland clothing brand is popular not just for its lower prices but also for overall satisfaction from customers.
That being said, there are a few items of clothing that Costco customers were not happy with.

Sweatshirts, Fleece Jackets and Hoodies
Several customers reported that the Kirkland Signature Unisex Logo Crewneck sweatshirt, priced at $9.97, seemed to be made of cheaper material with a loose and oversized neck. The general fit was described as being boxy with baggy arms and no elastic around the bottom of the sweatshirt.
Kirkland's Signature Ladies' Fleece Full Zip Jacket, retailing for $7.97, was described as being made of thin material that could not be considered as fleece and was forming lint-like balls or "pilling" in certain areas. Some customers also felt the jacket sleeves were too long and narrow.
Slippers and Sneakers
The Kirkland Signature Unisex Shearling Slipper, priced at $31.99, was mentioned by customers as having inconsistent-size stitching on bands around the opening of the slippers. They also said that the decorative bands around the opening of the slippers did not expand.
Kirkland's Signature Men's Sneaker, retailing for $32.99, disappointed customers with its thick rubber sole being inappropriately sized and not offering enough support. The shoe layers were said to have started separating, causing a squeaking noise when walking in them. Other customers said the canvas body of the shoe was hard and uncomfortable to wear after a short time.
Tips for Avoiding Returns
Costco is known for its good-quality items, but that doesn't mean they will always be without fault. It's a good idea to always inspect the quality of the clothing you wish to purchase. Do the seams look securely stitched? Are the buttons on tightly? Look closely at the hems and check for loose threads. Inspect your shoes by checking the stitching, soles and support. Sometimes, in the end, purchasing the item and wearing it at home may be the only way to inspect it closely.
