    "The new [returns] portal is great! As an IT person, I can tell you how much more delightful this is. Super cool to have it present the available exchange options right down to the sizes! 

    I saw the RMA approval and return label come through, and didn't have any problems with the link to print it out." Jennifer H. exchanging her Denim Lederhosen

     

     

     

    "My overall experience has been great! The ordering process was easy. My package arrived timely and I felt so special opening it up. Inside, it was evident that the person who wrapped up my Lederhosen actually cared and wanted the recipient to feel like they were a value to the company. At least, that is how I felt when I opened up the package. Alas, the capris are too big so I have initiated an exchange because they just keep falling down and really did not fit or feel right with a belt. All in all, the item was exactly what I expected (except the size - I just have a hard time finding the right fit in jeans) and of high quality. I can't wait to try on the next pair! Thank you!"
