What happened to Cabin Creek pants?!?!

AI Highlights
  • Cabin Creek pants were discontinued by JCPenney.
  • I've worn their twill and corduroy pants for 25-30 years; they fit well.

I am beyond devastated that JCPenney has discontinued their line of Cabin Creek pants! I have been wearing their twill and corduroy pants for 25-30 years, and am absolutely beside myself wondering what I will do now for pants.

They fit well, are extremely comfortable, and looked professional at work (teaching) and casual enough for weekends and around the house. I seriously have no idea what I will order now, and am angry enough to cancel my Penney's charge account. I cannot be the only woman who feels this way, since I believe they were a popular item. I realize that most companies are trying to appeal to younger shoppers, but you are making a BIG MISTAKE ...

there are a lot of us baby boomers around with money to spend on products we like!! In case you have been living under a rock, by the way, there are more of us boomers than any younger mini generation, so why would you want to lose all of us as customers? I have been a loyal Penney's shopper since I was a teen myself, but I am extremely disappointed that my absolute favorite product has been discontinued.

I have already spent hours online trying desperately to find corduroy pants that are similar to Cabin Creek, and have had no luck yet. I would gladly do a free commercial for JCPenney, jumping for joy at the return of Cabin Creek pants!!

Corduroy pants are for little boys.

I don't know who Cyndy is, but the person calling me Cyndy made posts about being attracted to kids. They also need to know that telling someone that they are wrong is NOT TROLLING.

Keep your crotch droppings away from others!

I totally agree. My mom can’t find any pants. I don’t know what she is going to do— walk around in pajamas?

Guest

I am disappointed also about the discontinuation of cabin creek jeans. Haven’t found any satisfactory jeans since

Try IZOD or LL Bean jeans - both are fantastic. However, IZOD is my current favorite!

JCP at Apple Bassam Mall in Virginia is great. I came to see the service of two ladies' working there ( Teresa and --) who both went above and beyond their regular duty.

They spent the time to assist me in fixing issues related to two Jackets purchased.

I offered them money and they refused and said this is their duty. They were really great.

Guest

She said it alllll!!!!!

Guest

Yes I agree I have been looking also . Have wore them for years. Love the corduroys wish they would sell them again.

Guest

Absolutely agree! If JC Penney would have kept some things like this instead of trying to be so hip maybe they wouldn't be in bankruptcy.

I used to buy all my clothes at JC Penney and now I never shop there any more. I can't be the only one.

I have been wearing Cabin Creek corduroy pants for years and they are worn out. Where can I find them?

Guest

Really miss Cabin Creek brand. Can’t find anything else at Penney’s.

Guest

Although I am not a baby boomer (a gen-Xer), I too have been wearing the Cabin Creek twill pants for years. I need casual dress pants for work and these fit the bill. Now, I cannot find any that I like.

Guest

I found something very close from Woman Within. I purchased on Amazon. I take plus size, so they many not be for you, but if that is what you need, check out "Woman Within Women's Plus Size Elastic-Waist Cotton Straight Leg Pant".

Expensive Diamond 14 karat Gold Earrings

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Sold me terrible earring backs that did not click securely to the earring. Lost an earring but found only the earring part.

When I returned to the store they said I should have bought their insurance.

That insurance is such a money grab for their inability to produce a quality product to the customer. Never buy there again!

User's recommendation: Question the loyalty to their products you purchase and if they stand behind their merchandise

Mailing list

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I wanted to be added to the JCPenney mailing list here in [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA], as I recently moved here from [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA]. I was simply told to check with customer service at the department store, which I had already done, and was told to call the 800 number.

Preferred solution: Put on mailing list for sales advertisements and coupons.

User's recommendation: Don't bother calling about being added to the mailing list.

My order is supposed to be sent to my home. Instead, it's waiting to be picked up at [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA]. I have no idea where that is.

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

Customer service was very helpful and the worker who I spoke with called today and we were able to make arrangement for a meeting after next week. This worker, Maria was very accommodated with offering to help.

I was happy that she called the company to make sure what I needed is possible. Very exciting about that.

Took me about 5 calls or more and two days of calling beforeI finally found someone who could help me. One of the ladies I talked to acted like I was bothering her. No help at all.

AI Highlights
  • Opening a new card was difficult.
  • A kind agent helped me by phone in under 30 minutes and the site should be improved for older customers.

There should be some sort of way to make opening up a new card easier. Two days and several people later.

I finally had a kind and understanding lady on the phone who helped me in under 30 minutes.

Please JCP, make your site user friendly for older people like me who do not understand technology as much as younger people. It should not be that difficult.

  • Reshoot on Nov 2, 2025 still shows a splotch in the background.
  • Refund offered is only 30% for metal prints; $250 for portraits was spent.

I went in for family photos on October 26, 2025, and noticed there were too many pictures I was unhappy with. I was given an opportunity to do a reshoot and went on November 2, 2025.

I was happy with the photos until I noticed there was a splotch in the background and was told it was a camera issue by the studio. I was told they would be re-edited and the photos would be uploaded again; however, I had ordered some metal prints from Shutterfly that had the splotch in the background. I was told to bring the prints in, a picture was taken, and an email was sent to the editing department, and all would be taken care of. That never happened.

I've called, been disconnected, and promised money back for my metal prints, but only 30%, which is less than the prints cost, and not to mention the $250.00 spent for the portraits. I keep calling customer service, and they keep telling me the same thing: that the pictures will be re-uploaded without the splotch, and the last time they were uploaded, on December 18, 2025, the splotch is still there. I've called the studio again and was told, 'This will be taken care of once and for all.' That was December 22, 2025; it's now January 5, 2026, and still no resolve nor any refund. I've called corporate and was told JC Penney portraits are their own entity.

I just want what I paid for or my money back. I don't understand, with technology, why they are not able to remove the splotch and replace or refund me for the cost of the metal prints?

Loss:
$427
Pros:
  • Convenience
Cons:
  • Terrible customer service

Preferred solution: I would like my photos edited without the splotch, re-uploaded, and my prints replaced at no cost, or a FULL Refund for all money spent.

User's recommendation: Hire a professional
