A Case of False Advertising or A Mistake?

On Tuesday, I purchased the Hurley Norman V-Neck Tee (3 of them!) online at PacSun.com.


The issue is that PacSun advertises the tee as being “100% Cotton” but when I opened the box and read the fine print it states “50% Polyester 37% Cotton 13% Rayon”. It even says so on the image pictured on the right which was pulled straight from the PacSun website. And yes there’s a difference in the feel of the fabrics that don’t mind paying a little more for. 100% Cotton is the superior fabric and more expensive then Polyester or Rayon!

Essentially, I’m bringing this up because I don’t want this to happen to someone else. I understand mistakes happen but a great company will/should own up to their mistakes.

What should I do: Return the items? Ask for a discount (on top of my current discount!)? Bring this to their attention (and hope for an incentive!)? File a complaint?

    bring it to the company's attention and hopefully they'll refund the full amount to you and let you keep the clothes… or you can sue for false advertisement!
