Customer service non existant.

Product seems OK. I like the idea of buying American.
However, the pair the sent me if considerably too tight in the size I normally purchase from other manfacturers. I sent three emails to attempt to orchestrate an exchange. No response and no phone number available. Cursomer service is non-existant. I would suggest not to order from them.

Poor customer service

My husband was a big fan of this company because of its products being US-made, and was willing to pay extra for its jeans and accessories. However, a $65 belt was their downfall. After a year, the color began wearing off onto his pants. Sent a message to customer service asking for some sort of credit due to our cleaning bill and the loss of use for the belt. No response whatsoever. We'll not be placing any more orders.

Not as advertised

I have ordered several tailored fit jeans in the past few months. Tailored fit jeans are supposed to have a leg opening of 14.5” and about 4 or 5 recent pairs have been over 17”. These look like bell bottoms on me.
I like their jeans and asked if someone could simply go out and measure a
Pair for me before they ship to be sure I got a pair as advertised, figured it’s a small shop that appreciates the customer they would do that but they wouldn’t. So it’s order and return!

Amazing new customer service

I've read reviews about having bad customer service etc. Which the owners have explained on their webpage, and looks like they have corrected the issue. I have ordered 5 pairs now in two months each transaction was flawless. Jeans were exactly what I ordered and they arrived faster than expected. I wouldn't recommend listening to outdated reviews unless you want to miss out on a great pair of jeans. Also recommend getting the six pocket tailored fit.

Long time customer but never again.

I've bought 40 pairs of jeans from Dearborn since 2019. At first it was good. Jeans took a couple weeks and it took a couple tries to find my size. But the jeans were nice and lasted a good while. But then things started to slip as the company grew. Jeans started to fit very different even for the same size and the same fit. But they were still pretty consistent in the same color. So I would order slightly different sizes for different colors. Of course their return policy sucked so much I would just get the ill fitting ones tailored locally. But my last two orders were garbage. One was sewn so poorly that they fit badly in ways that would be hard to fix. Pocket sewn with a weird twist. The last order was two of the exact same jean I had ordered multiple times. One fit okay but the coin pocket has a hole in it. The other, marked as the same size, I couldn't even pull up. At least 3 inches tighter at the belt and 2 inches shorter in the leg. That was the last straw. I have since ordered 5 pairs from another vendor and all 5 were the exact same size, no sewing issues. Sorry folks, don't waste your money on Dearborn. Sad to see a good company fall into trash.

Ordered 2 pair for my husband

Ordered 2 pair for my husband. A month went by no correspondence from them about jeans. So I emailed them as to the status of shipment twice-no response. Found phone number to their store in Chicago. Called no apology or reason as to why I had not received them or anything. They canceled order and refunded my credit card. One of the strangest companies I have ever dealt with. I would NEVER buy anything from them!

Terrible Customer Service and Policies

I've ordered from this company numerous times in the past. I've ordered multiple leather belts in the same size and had no issues. I recently placed a new order for another belt in the same size but different color. The new belt was at least three inches shorter than my previous belts. I submitted a return request and shipped the item back. I was then informed that I would only get a partial refund. They would not refund the shipping cost, and they charged me a restocking fee. This was not my fault, and I didn't choose to just return the item. They sent me an inferior product that I could not use. I reached out to the "customer service" to express my disappointment and received NO response. No apology. Nothing.

Terrible Business Practices

I have purchased a 1/2 dozen jeans from Dearborn. All have been of great quality; however, the customer service experience has been miserable each time. It took 5 months to receive the first pair. Subsequent orders were plagued by wrong sizes sent, errors in exchanges, delays in shipping, and failures to make proper credits. Still, the quality was good and I wanted to support a growing US company. So I ordered a pair of shorts that were advertised true to size, but when received actually fit and measured a size bigger. After return, it took over a month to get a refund - but it came in the form of store credit. So I requested that the credit be redirected to my payment method. It took 3 months for this correction only to find that I was assessed an $8 restocking fee for not accepting store credit after I had already paid for return shipping. This company is seriously flawed in its business practices, which is a sign of mismanagement from the top.

Jeans fine, order fulfillment and customer reviews terrible

I ordered two belts and some jeans. Received the jeans, did not receive the belts. Called and send emails and they said they'd resend the belts no later than September 15. It is now September 23 and they have stopped responding to emails or voicemails. I am going to initiate a dispute on my credit card - maybe that will get their attention.

UPDATED: After multiple emails and calls with no response, I reached out via Facebook and also initiated a dispute with my credit card issuer. After initiating the dispute, I was contacted by Dearborn Denim and the guy who reached out apologized profusely for the inaction on my inquiries when he had been out with illness. They refunded my purchase and gave me a credit on top.

I am adding two stars to my review because while my situation was resolved, customer support should not have a single point of failure like this.

Stuck with large wrong size, no exchanges?!

I really wanted to support this "Made in USA" company. Unfortunately, with my first order, I chose a pair of jeans that turned out to be the wrong style and size—too large. When I tried to exchange them for the correct size, I was told the style I ordered was non-returnable. That’s $48 down the drain. Honestly, who doesn’t allow an exchange when the size is wrong?

Empty promises

Empty promises, one after another! We ship everything in 24 hours. They didn’t. You get discounted shipping if you order 2 or more pairs. Nope. Free shipping on orders over $120. Also nope. We always respond in 12-48 hours. Really? Uh-uh. You can return for free if the jeans don’t measure what we say. Hahahahaha! After a week of arguing with their customer "service". They even told me I was supposed to know that one of the pairs would come 2" longer than the measurements quoted online. Huh? Why exactly? We’ll issue you a credit as soon as the jeans are in the USPS system. Yet another no.

The customer service is completely non-existent. No one responds to emails, and if they do they are snarky and condescending. There is no phone number. They don’t honor any of the pledges made on their website. The jeans don’t measure what they claim, and they don’t fit like anything else in the industry. How a company like this stays in business is beyond me. Save yourself a ton of grief (and money), and shop somewhere else.

Zero stars

Zero stars. Bought first pair. Ordered same size I wear in Levi and Wrangler. 34x34. Dearborn would not pull up. Many inches too small. After many attempts contacting them got replacement 36x34 shipped. Would not pull up. Way too small. Many attempts to contact for ideas on how much larger I should order I have been ghosted back the magical 30 day return window. Finally reached out again and got too late to return email. Horrible company. Sizing should be comparable to others in the market or at least respond to request for returns. Very disappointed I’m out my money and have jeans that barely get past my thighs. Do not purchase unless you can try on in a store.

SCAM COMPANY!!!!!

SCAM COMPANY!!!!!! Beware.

Supposedly shipped my order twice but changed the shipping address to a bogus address in a different zip code. After discovering the altered ship to address I actually drove to the address where they claimed the order was delivered. Two different GPS systems misidentified the address. Actual address was not the one they claimed in their confirmation email as being shipped and delivered too. Street name, city and zip matched but the numerical identification was entirely different.

The city & zip code had been altered from
The billing/shopping address on my credit card and unless you looked closely you simply assumed everything matched.

Pretty sophisticated scam.

Absolute horsesh*t

Absolute horsesh*t. My order has disappeared and their response is "we can't refund for a pair of jeans we don't have in our possession." So apparently I have to pay for a pair of jeans I don't have in my possession. These guys are beyond low level. Stay away. I can't even review the actual product. I don't have it.

Mediocre jeans that don't get shipped

This company makes average jeans that get don't get delivered. If you need some jeans anytime this quarter then don't buy from these guys. Their customer service team gave up trying to help many weeks ago. This company has become a joke. Buy Levis, they're cheaper, last longer, and will actually get delivered to you.

Horrible Company! Dont give them your hard earned money!

Placed an order Oct 31, their sizes are horrible. My 34 inseam jeans were more like 37 inseam. Started a return, and here I sit, November 19, with no product. Took them 4 days to get back to me about a return, and I still have nothing shipped, even though they received my return on November 11th. I will never do business with them again, and regret that I just didnt ask for a refund vs. an exchange. So much for supporting them being American made. If you cant provide good customer service, you dont deserve my business.

Customer service is non-existent

Customer service is non-existent, their chat has no one on the other end, and no phone number to ask for help. Tried to make an exchange for a size difference, return label never sent, no reply to emails, and guide honestly, the quality of the product is just Ok, not exceptional, not terrible but marginal. Stay away
