Everlane: Exceptional quality. Ethical factories. Radical Transparency.

When I was preparing for my Scotland / Ireland adventure last Thanksgiving I was worried about being cold. If you know me you know this is a valid concern as I am always cold. I was willing to spend a pretty penny on a new coat to ensure my warmth.

Warm but make it fashion · fashion but make it sustainable. :)

I found Everlane and I didn’t complain about being cold once the whole trip - well, at least now when wearing my Everlane Coat! Also my coat was made out of 53 post-consumer water bottles - 100% recycled polyester!

·In Summary·

Everlane sells men and women’s clothes made with exceptional quality that is built to last from ethical factories and offer radical transparency on every item they sell.

They also use recycled polyester and nylon on a lot of their items!

·The Whole Shabang·

Transparency -

Everlane believes that customers have the right to know how much their clothes cost to make. They reveal the true cost behind all their products. That is why when you scroll to the bottom of the page of whatever item of clothing you are looking at you will find this:

Materials + Labor + Transport + Duties + Hardware = True Price Their Price / Traditional Price

**On average, traditional retailers mark their products up 5–6x. Everlane, only 2–3x.

Factories -

Everlane partners with the best, ethical factories around the world and share their unique stories. They visit them often and build strong personal relationships with the owners. Each factory is given a compliance audit to evaluate factors like fair wages, reasonable hours, and environment. Their goal? A score of 90 or above for every factory. #KnowYourFactories

Every Black Friday, Everlane donates their profits to improve the lives of people who work at their factories.

Quality -

Everything at Everlane is designed to last. That’s why they source the finest materials — like Grade-A cashmere sweaters, Italian shoes, and Peruvian Pima tees. They also use a lot of recycled polyester and nylon on a lot of their items!
