The verdict
Fit
Sunwashed tees from this line tend toward a relaxed, slightly oversized fit. Expect true-to-size or one size up if you prefer more room.
Quality
Faherty's sunwashed cotton basics are well-constructed and fade predictably, typical of the brand's mid-premium casual line.
Is the price fair?
Priced at mid-premium ($78) largely for the university branding. The base fabric quality justifies $50–60; the markup is license tax.
Best for
College alumni who want a casual, faded tee that signals a specific school affiliation.
Care
Wash warm, line dry to preserve the sunwashed look; the fading is intentional and will settle with wear.
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 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.
