Talbot's quality has fallen off dramatically. I buy for quality and I stopped buying there over a year ago.
I also want to add how their constant sales infuriated me. I would buy an item thinking I got a great deal and then find out that it was 30 percent cheaper just two days later. It got so that I absolutely hated buying anything there because I knew the frustration I would feel when it was even more on sale a few days later. I admit their sales staff always made up the difference, but why should I have to keep dropping in their store every few days just to see what their sales were.
One last comment. I am tall and I frequently check out items in a store and then buy "talls" online. I was in their store over a year ago looking at their white jeans. I was checking to see how sheer the fabric was and if I liked it or not. A sales clerk came up to me and asked if she could help me. I was rude. All I said was that I was looking at the fabric. She sneered at me and said "I would have to just get over it if I didn't like the sheerness." I was flabbergast and I decided that I didn't have to get over anything. I would buy my white jeans from another merchandiser. Haven't been back since.
