Abstract
Apparel manufacturers strive to satisfy two groups-retailers and consumers. However, few studies have compared purchase decision behavior and satisfaction of apparel buyers and consumers. This study evolved in collaboration with the design/production manager of a wholesale clothing firm that sources apparel from Asia for distribution to U.S. retailers/catalogs. Oliver's (1980) disconfirmation model guided measure-ment of satisfaction.
