What I learned from this is that until or unless I am willing to order multiple sizes on my first try and spend a little extra time and money to return, I should hold off. Forewarned is forearmed! That's the great value of this forum, and I appreciate everyone's collective wisdom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823687 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 22:09:19 +0000 Greyscale 1823687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a huge fan of their clothes, though I have the advantage that their SF "design lab" is a few blocks from me so I often get to try things on ahead of buying. I have a bit of trouble with sizing so I always buy things in both XS and S and return one, which is a pain with their non-free returns. I am a 2 in most brands, and my size there is 0 or 2, XS or S, so I'd say it's true to size and some items run large.</p> <p>I like their clothing because it's simple, high-quality, often has a great minimalist sensibility. I was more in love with their collections 3-4 years ago, when it was a bit less trend-focused - I'm not a sporty / beachy girl so their summer collection isn't really doing it for me. But I still buy a lot of my clothes there. I have found just enough things with slightly avant garde vibe that it's become huge part of my look.</p> <p>They've been criticized for not having larger sizes, which they definitely should listen to. On the other hand, I appreciate how they sometimes show a huge range of sizes modeling their pants (it's really interesting to see how the same size can look so different on a tall, slender model vs a shorter, curvier person like me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823604 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 19:17:04 +0000 LaPed 1823604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kkards -- I remember that article, and I've noticed that Everlane does now list the factories' names:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.everlane.com/factories">https://www.everlane.com/factories</a></p> <p>I'm not going to step up to defend the "radical transparency" claims, since to my eye it's more marketing than ethics -- they know their target demographic and are making an effective pitch. I suspect their decision to start listing the names of factories is in response to those criticisms.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think comparing Everlane to H&amp;M and Zara is a bit odd, since I rarely find the latter two appealing, just from a design standpoint (and way too many synthetics for me, whereas Everlane focuses largely on natural fibres) not to mention the B&amp;M retail experience -- which Everlane doesn't really do, they have, what? two showrooms? But just stepping into cluttered, poorly organized stores, or experiencing bad in-store CS, has turned me off to certain brands.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823559 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 18:11:51 +0000 April 1823559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stopped looking at Everlane because they never, not once, had the item I wanted in stock. &nbsp;Every single thing I have ever tried to buy from them has been sold out. &nbsp;</p> <p>Perhaps they have addressed this issue with their supply chain in recent years? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823545 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:56:29 +0000 Anonymous 1823545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My experiences with sizing have all been TTS. &nbsp;Nothing out of whack at all. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823535 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:34:09 +0000 LaPed 1823535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slightly annoying return/exchange policy (free return shipping if you opt for store credit), inconsistent sizing. But their products are well designed and really well constructed *for the price* -- I keep coming back to them because their aesthetic is distinctive and appealing to me, and they're willing to disclose more about their manufacturing process than other comparable companies. </p> <p>I've attached Finds for my successful Everlane purchases below (the white sweater is OTW, actually, but if it fits like the black cardigan, it will be a success). I also have a couple t-shirts, but am not sold on them. DH likes the men's t-shirts quite well, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823513 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:15:31 +0000 Emily K 1823513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about the sizing, as it seems inconsistent from piece to piece, but I do like the fact that they give garment measurements and that works really well for me. &nbsp;Also, the on-site reviews allow the users to note height, weight, and bra size, so I use that feature to assess fit. &nbsp;I have ordered one shirt and one pair of shoes and was pleased with the fit, quality, and customer service on both occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823508 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:09:20 +0000 kkards 1823508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've found there stuff to be nice, but not fabulous. sizing can be inconsistent, I'd order 2 sizes and plan to return 1.</p> <p></p> <p>this maybe of interest...this really made me think about the brand in a different light. </p> <a href="http://www.thefashionlaw.com/home/radical-transparency-hm-and-zara-are-actually-more-transparent-than-everlane" rel="nofollow">http://www.thefashionlaw.com/h.....parent-tha</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823507 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:03:03 +0000 Traci 1823507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only downside I've found is with Returns. Just read the policy. It hasn't stopped me from ordering, but it's not Nordstrom simple.</p> <p>Tshirts seem true to size. For dresses I've only ordered boxier styles and I use my smaller size for those. Pants I haven't experienced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823504 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 16:59:15 +0000 Column 1823504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...and what about sizing? I'm usually a 4/6, but according to their measurements, I would be a 00. Does that sound correct? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823503 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 16:58:27 +0000 Column 1823503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823494 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 16:48:15 +0000 Anonymous 1823494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had nothing but positive experiences with their clothes and their ordering platform. &nbsp;Not sure why anyone would be wary of purchasing from them. &nbsp;Quality clothing, gorgeous designs, and priced direct- to -consumer. &nbsp;As a matter of fact, I just opened a box yesterday and wore a new dress and shoes for work and loved both. Conversion to Cdn$ plus duty makes the cost a whole lot higher here, but it was worth it for me as it's completely different from the usual mall-fare. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-everlane-please#post-1823478 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 16:17:31 +0000 Column 1823478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello wise ones,</p> <p>Can someone please explain the reputation of Everlane to me? I recall references to the company on the forum as "oh that Everlane"--although this might be more the tone I was hearing than actual content. Should I be wary of purchasing from them, and if so, why/in what ways?</p> <p>Thank you for your guidance! </p>
