I'm not sure that's a good place to get them. Best to go to the stadium. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big thread on FF: Pathetic Quality On Castore's RFC Range Purchased this on Friday:RFC COTTON LS TEE - NAVY/WHITE; RFC COTTON SWEATER - NAVY/WHITE; RFC COTTON HOODY - NAVY/WHITE.I was £160 for that lot.However, I’ve just received them, and I'm disgusted with the lack of quality.On the sweater, the Castore words are missing letters and the Castore logo isn't straight.The RFC crest is also miles off being straight.The t-shirt and hoodie are OK on this front, but the quality in general leaves a lot to be desired.Are normal Castore items made in India like this cheap shit?And when I say cheap shit, I mean the quality – not the prices, which are anything but cheap.I'm so disgusted with the poor quality of the sweater that I'm returning all three.I've got the home and away shirt, but these will be my last Castore purchases unless the item is embroidered.Gutted not to be able to support my club. https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/pathetic-quality-on-castores-rfc-range.131069/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,329 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I'm afraid the signal to noise ratio will discourage any sensible person from reading that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) From what I've read, Castore have had the shirts made in Turkey and China and the sizing and quality is different (the Chinese ones are better quality). They have now released a statement, which looks to be a bit of a fib about what has gone on. If you have received a Turkish top and aren't happy with it, I'd suggest asking for a refund or a Chinese replacement. This all makes me glad I don't wear football garments. £60 for a nylon t-shirt seems bonkers to me. Edited August 21, 2020 by Gonzo79 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I wouldn't want to discourage someone from buying a Rangers top. But it is odd how the ability to critique is boosted by orders of magnitude after buying one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know guys who have bought the home and away top and the quality, sizing and location of manufacture is different on them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unacceptable and Castore need to explain to the support what's actually going on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Castore issued a statement last night, which didn't help matters. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
