Frequently Asked Questions

Here at this sweaty little site we’re big supporters of curiosity and fluffing your cerebral centre with fresh knowledge, but reality is we don’t often have the spare minutes to respond to all your questions. In a bid to honour everyone’s time and interests, we’ve drawn up this groovy list of Frequently Asked Questions. If you’re still left wanting, you can try the editor – but please note that he can’t guarantee a reply. Google’s your other option.

Where’s the online store?
Put your plastic back, kid. The website will never be an on-line store in itself – that’s why we have lots of fine looking General Pants stores around town that play cool music and have friendly staff to help you with your every retail need. Besides, the online stuff can get real messy with the problems, time and money involved with postage. This site is simple a guide to what’s current in a General Pants store near you.

Do you stock (enter product name here) in a size 12? Can you take some photos of it and email them back?
This answer to this is important, so listen up… Products, sizes, styles, colours, prices, dates, and availability do vary from store to store, so sometimes we don’t specify. Your best option is to roll on down to your nearest GP store where our dreamy store staff will be happy to help.

Can you forward this email on to the marketing/buying department?
Unfortunately not. These cats have their own channels of contact. If you don’t know what they are and have something of dire importance that you need to get to them, try our Head Office who’ll be happy to help.

Can you please send me free stickers? I'm going to stick them on my mum’s car to impress girls/guys.
We usually give away piles of stickers (and other stuff) at the events we organise and sponsor. If you want to be informed about them, sign up to the Our People mailing list. You'll have a good time and the stickers will rain. You should open a store in my little town. Opening stores involves some tricky logistics. General Pants employs a couple of brains to juggle this. If they’re of the belief a GP store would work well in your town, they’re probably already one step ahead of you in making it happen.

Can you help me with my school project?
Sorry, but no. Learning is a beautiful thing, embrace it. If you’re all frozen up and your deadline’s calling, we suggest Google.

I’m from [a big web design/gimmicky marketing company]. You’ve heard of us, right? It’s your lucky day, I’m here to take over creative control of your site and charge you heaps of money for our services. What’s your credit card number?
Beat it! Booster.

Would you be interested in sponsoring my band? We have very long hair.
People looking for sponsorship of either themselves or an event relevant to General Pants Co should send a written proposal to: Sponsorship Proposals, General Pants (Head Office), L10, 233 Castlereagh St, Sydney, NSW 2000.

I run a fashion label. Will you stock my brand? What do you want us to make?
General Pants Co are very supportive of talented up-and-coming labels and spend many hours keeping their paws on the pulse of the industry. If it’s good, we’re usually the first to know about it. If you believe you’ve slipped under our radar and have some impressive gear you think GP would be interested in stocking, get together a letter and a catalogue. Clearly attention it to: The Buying Department, General Pants (Head Office), L10, 233 Castlereagh St, Sydney, NSW 2000. Please do not send samples (unless requested by the buying department) as they will not be returned.

Can you please remove me from the email list?
Follow the instructions on this website or on any of emails we send you.
