The verdict
Fit
Plaid wovens from this designer tend toward relaxed fits, but sizing can vary by season. The model data suggests this cuts close; consider sizing up if you prefer looser wear.
Quality
Woven construction from this brand typically shows good finishing, though the specific durability depends on fiber content.
Is the price fair?
Final sale at 50% off positions this well below full retail; at $147 it's a fair mid-range price for a designer plaid shirt.
Best for
Pattern lovers and sale hunters who appreciate bold plaids and designer branding at accessible final-sale pricing.
Care
Plaids benefit from cold washing to preserve color; turn inside out to protect the dyed weave.
Fit check: MOTHER
True to sizeMOTHER mostly fits true to size with a snug waist and long legs, but a handful of denim cuts stray a full size in either direction.
Owners and denim reviewers land on true to size as the baseline — one petite reviewer wears her usual 25 "in most Mother styles," and an editorial roundup calls the fit true to size and slightly snug in the waist. The caveat is cut-level: reviewers report the Insider and Looker styles running small and the Ditcher and Dodger running large, with one long-term buyer ranging from a 24 to a 26 across styles. Tops and sweatshirts draw quieter feedback but are consistently reported true to size with a relaxed cut. Inseams run long, so shorter wearers lean on the Lil (petite) line or plan to hem.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size as the default, but check the specific cut's reviews first — size up in the Insider/Looker-type slim crops, down in the Ditcher/Dodger, and consider the Lil line if you're petite.
