I used to love the Gap and bought dozens of t shirts. They used to last a couple years. Something has changed the last couple years though. Every T shirt now falls apart after just a few washes. It usually starts at the neck. I know it's not my washing machine because the shits did this with an old Sears machine as well as a brand new LG thats supposed to be easy on clothes. I called them and emailed them but they are not at all sypathetic so they have lost a good customer.

Gap has some great clothes, but don't apply or get a credit card unless you plan to shop on a continual basis. I had a Gap card, and I used it about three-four times a year. Then, about 6 months went by without me making a purchase and they reduced my limit.

I called, and was told that this was because I hadn't made a recent purchase. I thought I got it all worked out, and get the credit limit back, but I just went to make a purchase and my card had a "zero dollars credit limit." When I called I was told that my card had been reduced because it had been a year since my last purchase.

This of course affects my credit score in a negative way. My best advice, buy whatever you want, but don't get a credit card with any of the companies in this chain unless you shop all the time, or want them to mess with your credit.

When I complained that my jeans had a hole after 3 months, the sales lady actually told me that the life span of Gap clothing is 3 months. I can't afford to replace my clothes that often...can you???

Bellevue Gap associates are so judgemental and do not know what good customer service is. HEATHER kept rolling her eyes, raising her eyebrows and giving me attitude while she was explaining the difference between Gap and Gap Outlet.....i mean really? To those of you who dont know they are somehow not associated. I definately am not going back to this store because i was not treated well.

Gap clothing is very drabby in my opinion. The quality is also crap. Their T-shirts and cardigans are paper thin not worth $50 in my opinion. It also makes me upset that Gap doesn't carry a petite line. Me being a woman of five foot two and a hundred and one pounds it's already hard enough trying to find clothes that fit right but it seems as if a size one in Gap is like a size five. I would go to Gap's sister store banana republic much better quality and fit.

I had always relied on Gap for my basic t-shirt, tank tops, etc.. I recently decided that I needed to throw out some of those that I'd been wearing for the last 5 years, so naturally I went back to the same place to replace them.

Huge Mistake. You know how when you rely on something to be the way it was, and then reality turns out to be much different??
This was me..
The only good out of all of it was that I bought the items on sale and was able to get free shipping..Now for the bad.

1. I could not believe how expensive a "favorite" T-shirt had become, but based on past experience justified the cost as being well worth it.
2. Every item that I ordered was without exception, horrible quality. You could actually see through a white t shirt (we're talking cotton here folks, it wasnt intended to be sheer).
3. I was extremely careful when I washed these new items, using Woolite and every possible precaution to keep them intact. Didn't make a bit of difference. None of it washed well and all now look like **it...and like Ive been wearing them for 10 years!
4. I am not generalizing by criticizing the whole store as I spent a not insignificant amount of money and ordered things from a few different departments.
As mentioned, thank goodness they were on sale..which still wasnt that cheap by the way.

Dont waste your time or your money. To GAP I say.."what the hell happened??"

Do people actually still shop here?

When we were all younger, GAP made great and high quality clothes. Now, it just seems like they're selling the same used clothes that they sold back then, with huge overpriced tags. The clothes are so boring and conservative that you're better off going to Old Navy to get more exciting stuff

GAP SUCKS. I think it stands for Gay ass people. the clothes is gay the only time i ever wore them is when i was 1. not as bad 4 little kids

I just bought 3 GAP "perfect t's" on-line at 12.50 each on sale from 16.50 and these are without a doubt the worst t-shirts I have ever purchased. They are sooo thin you can see through them, they have absolutely no shape, and one is already splitting at the neck after 2 washes.
I realize many of these sight are just for people to complain and I am doing that but my complaint is honest. Do not buy these shirts.

It's All Right.

its k i like slutier cloths lol

decent clothes

ne

love it!

GOOD FOR YOUNER KIDS AND WOMEN

ummm i wudnt shop there...

i hate the gap to conservitive

woo!

You're not gonna catch me buying anything in Gap.

I bought a cashmere sweater at gap.com and a pair of slacks at the Gap store in December. After wearing each twice, both turned out to be defective... the knit in the sweater started to unravel at a seam, and the hem of one leg of the pants came completely undone as I was wearing them.

Gap's return policy didn't give me enough options. I e-mailed customer service and they responded that I should take both items to the store. The manager at the store was rude and complained that I hadn't brought in the e-mail from the online customer service (it was not difficult to see that the clothing was falling apart!). The items were not in stock in the store, and she told me that Gap's policy doesn't allow them to ship me replacements unless I pay the shipping costs, nor do they allow me to have the items repaired at their expense.

I liked the design of both items, and didn't want to return them. Most stores will waive shipping costs if necessary. I was disappointed with both the quality of the clothes at Gap and the service.

As a former employee of Gap, I grew up loving Gap and wanting to be in the Gap where everything was cool. There would be George Michael playing and happy employees everywhere willing to help. Then there were the coolest holiday commercials saything everyone get together, love train and who could forget crazy stripes??. Then, they stopped listening to the customers, and even worse when I BECAME GAP (an employee) I felt like I didn't matter, that my GENERAL MANAGER never worked 40 hours, my Dm drove a nice car and fluffed sweaters and told me I had to open CREADIT CARDS, and oh yeah, still barely paid me 10.00 bucks an hour. THat's when I knew it was time to say goodbye!

The Gap is in serious financial disarray and could be history soon if the ship is not righted...

Not bad, not great, nothing there really jumps out at me, average clothing at best.

I have a bunch of GAP hoodies, (old school type), they are about 7 years old and they suffered great deal of torture, but still they look very good.

So I have to say that quality of GAP's products and fabrics they use, is quite solid  (or it used to be 7 years ago:)).

I now call it "the Crap".

gap jeans are amazing for a 5'7 size 0-1 good fitting jeans are almost impossible to find but gaps perfect, the clothes are all sort of pretty and good quality ..nice to wear , i undersdtand that they may not be everybodys cup of tea but you really can not refer to it as crap

GAP's been hurting the past couple years. They were on top for a while and just got complacent. Their clothes are along the same lines as Old Navy - but at twice the price. They have get a whole new design team and start over or they're just going to keep slipping.

Gap was good before it went on the high design crusade and became "The Gap."
I grew up on Gap jeans, Gap sweaters, Gap t-shirts, and even their socks.
Stiff and starchy at first, but once broken in lasts a hella long time.
Now adays the way they cut the blouses is ridiculously low-quality, the materials aren't as durable, and the dyes seem to fade faster.
For their diminishing level of quality and taille research The Gap products are extremely overpriced.
But to save face, i have to give props to their scent line.
Their body sprays aren't too bubbly, nobbish, nor high-maintenance; they're just right.

Was one of my favorite stores from 2000-2003. Not sure what happened after that but the clothes are boring, unattractive and just plain weird looking.

I never find anything I like at Gap! Once, I got a gift card and it took me forever to find a few things I seldom ware. Besides that, the quality is pretty poor, 80% of the merchandise is made in China which is a number one human rights violator. When you are byuing your $9.99 pair of jeans on sale think of the poor chinese people who work in the Gap's sweatshops!

I have always appreciated everything San Francisco based GAP (Gay And Proud) has done for the gay community, but they need to get it together with their clothing. In the past, I have worn GAP clothing to flamboyantly display pride in my lifestyle, but the quality in the clothing has taken a nosedive in recent years. Quite simply, the quality is extremely low compared to what it was in GAP's heyday, the 90's. It's hard to wear the Gay And Proud acronym with pride when the fabric is cheap, especially compared to what it once was. Come on GAP, show a little pride yourselves and give us something we can all be proud of. The gay community takes a lot of pride in your brand of clothing. Make us proud once again.

Biff: Not that it matters that you're being fueled by a myth on the name, but you're whole comment about "Gay and Proud" isn't the acronym of the store. The Gap took it's name from the reference to "The Generation Gap". Gap and at least 6 urban myths site claim the same concept. It's a sheer coincedence and it was based in San Fran. because the owner is from the area, not to make some sort of statement. You can condemn the now poor quality of the material, but disliking it because it's not staying true to the homosexual lifesyle, when they didn't set out aiming at homosexual buyers in the first place, is pointless. Disliking the clothes is reason enough...Here's a link that sheds light on the very point I am trying to make, including why it would be silly to hide this so-called acronym when pride is supposed to be open, and not kept secret. http://www.snopes.com/business/names/gap.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gap_(clothing_reta iler)

Alot of the clothing is pretty high priced and bland as some people put it. I never find anything for myself. I love GAPKIDS though. I only buy their stuff on sale. If you can find something on sale you end up paying Old Navy prices. I just got my daughter a pair of jeans for $9.99 and a long sleeve t for $4.97. I was pretty pleased.

They have the best jeans for both men and women and their clothes aren't trashy or gaudy looking.

The Gap is great for the basics. I love their casual skirts, and the jeans fit great. I also like the fact that they have smaller sizes. But never buy anything here at full price, because everything goes on sale here eventually!

I agree with Seraph, Old Navy does have more flare. But Gap has better sizes for smaller people than Old Navy. Old Navy's styles is all about funky and wild, while Gap is more preppy. I like both. Gap has good sizes, the stores are clean, but they're pricey. But I'm willing to spend more for a comfortable fit.

they cost more than old navy. and some of their stuff is more than AE. holla wit that

I have to say,this is the best clothing store in the world!!They have something for everyone.Their clothes fit all sizes,the employees are friendly and helpful.They have all the latest styles and the clothes are very flattering to you figure.The clothes are very affordable and if you go at the right time,say at the end of a season,you can get a sweet deal!!!These clothes are very high quality and last forever!!

I don't like the Gap -- their clothes aren't terribly high quality and they're very plain. Old Navy is much cheaper and has some flare to it.

What can I say, they are the best! THE BEST!!!!!!!!! So there a little pricey, but what do you want? Great clothes, great quality.GAP BABY!!!!!!

I don't understand this place, the same thing will be at Old Navy the next year if not sooner. And I wont even pay half that price. Not even good quality clothing. Crazy.

I'm a sucker for Gap clothing as I usually love their Autumn/Winter range, their Summer line is ok, but at times it looks a bit too cheap. Like most have stated here they need to realise the variety of womens heights as they don't cater for petites or talls.

I have often seen Gap window displays, gone inside to find the clothes that were displayed, then been told that they don't carry the clothing in petite sizes. What is worse, they try to talk me into settling for something that doesn't fit. I didn't take the bait, but I thought it was unethical. I have learned that Gap is a waste of my time. Their prices are very high for what you get, plus, they ignore a segment of the market (women 5'4 and under).

true true

Gap makes good quality clothing, but the retail prices are generally a bit pricey. Always check the sale rack and you might find something, especially when they put their seasonal stuff on clearance... Unfortunately their best jeans (for men anyway) rarely go on sale so you're stuck paying $50 if you really like them. They carry a huge selection of different fits for men and women, and the racks are logically organized and well labeled so you know exactly how the jeans will fit. Generally the trendier fits, like the low-rise boot fit, have better washes and colors, and look better on men who are skinny, but like I said Gap carries a good selection for just about all body types, and you can get extended sizes online.

Their clothes cost WAY too much. It's just plain t-shirts and jeans. what so great about that? the quality of the clothes isnt so great either. seriously, im not going to pay $20 for a white t-shirt when i could easily buy one exactly like it for 5 bucks at another store.

TOO TRENDY & THE CLOTHES DON'T EVEN LOOK GOOD ON PEOPLE, OVER PRICED & THE SALES PEOPLE ARE FAKE!!!

Evertime I go to the mall I give this store a chance but I can never find anything I like from there, and when I do find something it looks funny on me. I gave it two stars because my sister gets a ton of shirts from there and they all look awsome on her.

I like to shop at the GAP when I am buying clothes for friends and family. An excellent gift store. As for me, I personally don't like most of their clothes on me. But I do not think it is bad quality. And I love the BABY GAP. It has such a cute name. :) I buy clothes for my nieces and nephews at Baby Gap all the time. Awesome stores.

If you want a good pair of jeans, a good decent pair of khakis, a good basic oxford to begin with then The Gap is a good store. Some of their stuff is a bit pricey, but it can be worth it.
