On ordering the email said the item should arrive after 4pm. Although we hadn’t received the email to say it’s been received but called at 5pm and the driver hadn’t turned up so a bit disappointing and the member of staff couldn’t advise if the delivery was coming the next day

Dont buy the Red One

The service was good but the product is appalling - i have the natural colour waistcoat and was pleased so when i saw the red one in the sale snapped it up - it sheds red fluff everywhere - tried washing to help - it has absolutely covered inside of pillowcase - shoddy

Where to start….?

Last Christmas my wife bought me a long sleeved shirt from Fat Face in High Ousegate, York. Despite the label stating it was an ‘M’ Regular, it was absolutely huge when I tried it on. I felt like one of these inflatable advertising figures you see in front of garden centres.

We returned it to the store in January but had to exchange it for a different style altogether as the ‘S’ size was a poor fit as well. When I went to wear the replacement shirt a few days later, I saw what I thought was a loose thread along the front of the left shoulder panel but on closer examination found that the stitching had completely unravelled in several places. Rather than traipsing back to the shop, my wife said she would sew the faulty stitching herself.

On another occasion, I decided to buy a waxed jacket. With having a number of jackets, I have only worn the Fat Face one about half a dozen times. When I last put it on, I struggled to run the zip pin into the “box” and looked to see what was fouling it. Part of the fabric tape to which the teeth are attached was frayed at the lower end and repeatedly hindered the slider from travelling past it. Unfortunately the sixth wearing occurred after about 4 months so it would by that time have been difficult to prove it hadn’t been worn much at all.

I was also bought a Mu Multi (!?) jumper in mottled brown and green. After being worn and washed about eight times, it invariably forms “pills” all over the weave and now is now something I would only wear for lounging about the house.

What is wrong with this merchandise ? That’s 3 different items I’ve had and discovered that they all have manufacturing issues of one sort or another. Shopping at Fat Face is too much like hard work.

P.S. More fool me for not spotting sooner that much of FatFace’s stock is made in China.

Update following LE’s reply : - Having recently examined all my other zip-fronted jackets ( and those of some relatives ) I see that without exception they all have a small folded over panel of a man-made material which is glued onto the zip tape and crimped within the zip pin. This results in a smooth, long-lasting operation when introducing the pin into the slider. The waxed jacket referred to in my post above is fitted with no such thing. Without this, the unprotected zip tape on my jacket didn’t really stand much of a chance, did it ?

( I’ve only just noticed that LE did not actually offer any comments on either the failed stitching on the shirt or the inferior zip tape on the waxed jacket. )

Good morning William
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
I am sorry to hear that you are so disappointed with the quality of your items.

Quality and longevity is something that we really pride ourselves on at Fatface, so it is concerning to hear that you have encountered issues.

Please know that we are always available to help our customers if they experience a fault in an item, and our website asks that if you have any issues, that you do reach out to us, as we can always make this right.

I sadly cannot see that you have contacted us about any faulty items.

For pilling of an item that contains wool, pilling is caused by rubbing during wear and, although it can occur in any parts of the sweater, the most common areas are around the elbows, armpits, sleeves, stomach area and the sides of the sweater where, during wear, the arms of the garment are constantly coming into contact with the body of the sweater.

Our garment team suggest the below three steps for removing pilling from a wool item:
1. If not too many pills have been formed then they can easily be removed by hand. This should be done routinely after drying, or just prior to ironing.
2. A comb can be used to remove pills, but this should be done very gently and carefully.
3. Small battery operated pill and lint removal devices known as either “de-pillers” or “fabric shavers” are low cost and very effective at removing pills, giving your clothing an as-new appearance again.

Thank you, LE

Came across this brand while on a break in Yorkshire, brought a couple of items in store and then found the brand online and ordered a couple more items.
Well packaged and good delivery time.
