Cool, one of the ideas we thought of for our fit guide was to have our model pictured wear every size shirt, so you can see what sizing up and down look like. Do you think this is helpful?

That is the best idea
Include model height/weight if they are not shy
The model wearing multiple sizes is an interesting idea, definitely worth a try.
Even just listing his chest size would be a big step up, though.

yea again, I don't really care about the model - just post measurements!


Yeah, that was the idea - we are going to try this for women first and go from there. We will have improved sizing charts soon though.


how about have three models, one skinny, one average, and one fat lol


This actually will happen.

or an interactive system where the user can feed the model virtual bowls of lard until the tees burst at the seams.


:lol


Idealistic, for sure.  But an interesting point.

I don't have any problems with the current model.  I'm happy that ya'll haven't gone the whole "starved and emaciated" route that seems to be so popular with high-fashion brands *dry heave*.  The current model certainly isn't overweight or fat.  He's not the fittest guy in the world, but then again, most Americans generally aren't "athletes".  

It might be interesting to see what different people with different builds look like in the shirts, though, but I don't know what's involved with the logistics of something like that.  Truth told, for 15 dollars it's not *that* big of an investment to figure out what the shirts look like on you.  I'm glad I made that little leap.

Hey, guys at everlane, you don't have any positions available for a guy with no skills in the clothing industry, do ya?  I can whip up one hell of a cappuccino!


We currently have no positions available for company barrista, but I will lobby for it :)


Maybe consider changing the model? The current one looks kind of out of shape (no offense) and he looks like he's on some couch-potato swag in every shirt he's modeling for. just a suggestion, especially if you are getting a new batch of tee's with a taper it will be hard to see without a good model


maybe they are trying to appeal to the everyday type guy


It's one of those things - do we use someone who looks like a real person, or do we use someone with a more ideal body shape? We decided that our current male customer base is more receptive to the former, but that could change in the future.


Agreeing with this, I need a couple more sweaters in that style but I'm waiting for different (nicer) colors.


These sweatshirts are not super heavy, and we wanted to always offer anything we make in black. The cinnamon colorway was a little controversial in out office, but it sold through much faster than we expected.


I like the blond model with freckles and pretty eyes, use her more :D


Noted. :devil:


What is coming up next?


Belts, followed by summer t-shirt colors

thenanyu, can we get a way to filter by size? it's kind of annoying to have to click on every shirt to see whether or not your size is in stock. it'd be cool to be able to hide all the colors/styles that are out of stock/not your size.

We are completely redesigning the product pages with some usability improvements - they will be live end of next week I think.

I just got my second order from everlane with a sweater and a few more t-shirts. They have great prompt service and the t-shirts are great. The t-shirts from my first batch have held up to a number of washings without any shrinkage or wear.

The neck on the sweater is rather large and a little misshapen (it almost seems stretched out). Did anyone else have this problem? I'm hoping I can reform it after a wash.

Yeah I just got mine in today and have to say the large wide neck + raglan sleeves wasn't really working for me. Also this being my first order from Everlane I have to agree that there needs to be a taper in the shirts and I would like to see them lengthened by 2-3 inches if possible. I like the fabric on both items though and it is a good price point, just a few things I would like to see changed or offered as an alternative sometime down the line.
