Default FDX-Uniform vendor [Landerwood]

Does anyone else on here buy their uniform shirts from Landerwood? I have bought shirts from them nearly every year, and have been impressed with their quality.

With that said, I purchased shirts from them last year just before the end of the year in order to make sure I used my uniform allowance for the year. Understandably, the shirts were on back order, and I didn't have a problem with that. My issue is that it is now mid-October, and I still HAVEN'T received my shirts from last December. I have contacted the company numerous times, and they are always courteous, but I am wondering how a company can stay in business selling shirts when they have back orders lasting nearly a year? Has anyone ordered shirts from them this year and have received the shirts? Just curious.

I tried them out a couple of years ago and wasn't overly impressed with quality or cut. I've been using A Cut Above since - much prefer the different cut options they offer. Fast delivery so I'm assuming they maintain a good sized inventory.

Same with me. Landerwood quality seemed to dip. I ordered A Cut Above last year and they are great shirts.

Customer service at Landerwood was always great, just give him a call.

I took a look at A Cut Above. Mentions Velcro on pocket flaps. Never had that before. How is it? Useful, holds up to laundering, etc?

I got one from A Cut Above. The pockets are open at the top. No pen holder.

They went from shirts produced in the USA to Chinese imports - what did you expect?

A Cut Above has two styles of shirts, One is open across the top; the other one velcros with a flap and has pen slots on both sides, and looks like a regular pocket button and all. Both styles come in three cuts (fitted, tapered, full). Great shirts and their customer is great.

Pants are great too.

I called some months ago. Landerwood is back to USA made shirts. I was told their non-USA purchases were done only because the last USA mill went out of business and it took them time to find a new business that started up to make their shirts again.

Good to hear. Have you ordered from them recently? If so - how is the quality?
