The verdict
Fit
Linen shirt jackets sit open and airy. Dorset sand suggests a warm, natural tone. Expect a relaxed, unstructured drape.
Quality
Linen softens with washing but doesn't compress like knits. At 179 dollars, expect quality seaming and finished edges. Typical lifespan 3+ seasons.
Is the price fair?
Fair mid-premium pricing for linen. You're paying for the natural fiber and Faherty's heritage cut, not synthetic performance.
Best for
Warm-season layering for anyone valuing natural fiber and relaxed, lived-in aesthetics.
Care
Cool wash, hang or lay flat — linen wrinkles naturally; embrace the texture or iron lightly.
Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.
Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.

What owners report about Faherty jackets & outerwear
Third-party coverage of Faherty's jackets specifically is thin — most independent reviews center on the brand's shirts and knits, with outerwear mentioned in passing. What exists is positive on materials and comfort: one long-term reviewer expects his Teton Jacket to last generations, and brand-level write-ups say the fabric quality is a real step above typical mall brands. The recurring drawbacks are price — reviewers note outerwear can push past $300 — and relaxed, boxy cuts that at least one owner paid to have tailored.
- Strengths
- Soft, comfortable fabrics and casual designs that long-term owners describe as pieces they expect to keep for years.
- Watch out for
- Price is the most common complaint, and the roomy, boxy fit sends some owners to a tailor.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report true-to-size but relaxed fits; one owner found the fit "a little large and boxy for a normal medium" and had it tailored.
