Fit check: Faherty

True to size

Faherty 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 t-shirts

Owners mostly praise the fabric on Faherty's organic-cotton tees as soft with good drape, and independent reviewers describe the cut as relaxed without being oversized. The recurring practical complaint is that the material can stretch out over a day of wear and needs a tumble dry rather than air drying to recover its shape. A minority of owners also find the slubby texture rough and question paying around sixty dollars for a basic tee.

Strengths: Reviewers consistently single out the soft, draping organic-cotton fabric and a relaxed, true-to-size cut that works on most body types.
Watch out for: Fabric that stretches out through the day (needing a tumble dry to snap back) and price-for-value complaints on a roughly sixty-dollar basic are the most repeated criticisms.
Sizing: Reviewers report the tees run true to size with a slightly relaxed, boxy-but-not-oversized silhouette.
