Milano

[Anita]

It's whinge time! :mad: Our club have Milano tracksuits (not complaining about that - they like them. In fact my daughter bought one without the club to wear "normally"): the complaint is about the fact that Milano have decided that they will no longer sell the tracksuit jacket and trousers separately. (Don't yet know if I could order a different size trousers to a jacket as some children in our club have had to do).

This is a crazy decision and will lose them custom.

A lot of the older gymnasts in our club (the coaches in particular) have at least two pairs of trousers for their tracksuit (my eldest has three pairs plus a pair of 3/4 lengths because of the amount of training and coaching she does). Other of our gymnasts wear their trousers out first as they wear them more than the jackets - one particular case is an 8-year-old boy who has gone through the knees of his (as boys do!). My daughters has also asked me to get her a couple more pairs. Because of Milano's refusal to sell separately I'm now going to have to try other leotard companies and hope that the colour matches.

And Milano probably wonder why people aren't using Milano as much as they used to.

Anyone else think it's a stupid decision?

Definately we are meant to be getting a new tracksuit I will tell my coach this so she can look elsewhere.

I think that is a stupid decision! in the past i have bought just the jogging bottoms because I did not need the jacket( had others I liked more) but if I had bought the jacket I would have bought it in a different size. What are you meant to do then? if you are tall but skinny the jacket would be massive!

Personally I have broad shoulders and like larger jackets, they will definately lose business because of this, or perhaps they aim to charge extra for the diffeneces in size or making additional quantities of trousers.

I thought that you could buy tops and bottoms separately but you have to order a minimum of six of the same item! Either way, they are annoying me. I dont know why on earth they cant include cropped trousers and bottoms in the 'leotard' catalogue as was always the norm.
