Harvest and Mill reviews and discussion

Shipping was fast and quick responses from the company. Pants are pretty much see through. I have had them for a few months and only wear them once a week to work and the seems are coming apart. Not good value for your money.

I really love this brand and their ethics. Creating clothing from local cotton is so sustainable! I checked all over and it seems no Canadian businesses are doing this, maybe we cant grow cotton here? But I'd rather shop within the continent than have clothing be shipped over seas. Aside from sustainability, their clothing is non-toxic. Polyester is clothing made from oil and almost everything is made from it. Destroying the world and our health at the same time. These reasons combined are why I spend extra on organic cotton, hemp, wool or linen clothing. I think being that the clothes are 100% organic cotton, size down. Cotton stretches a lot and it might be fitted for the first couple of hours or day, but the fabric will loosen over time and the heat from a dryer will only temporarily tighten it up. I should have went with a small, my waist is 30 inches. The style is very cute and I am happy with the waist band, I love the draw string scrunch effect and adding it with the elastic waist means more years out of the elastic. The bottom of the pants are flowy, and relaxed in a nice way, but once you get to the ankles there is a lot of loss in shape. The ankle cuff could fit 2-3 more ankles in it, losing a lot of what should be a bit of structure at the bottom. They need to reduce the size of the cuff, as it is still very loose even after going through the dryer. The socks I ordered in a medium, also according to the size chart, and they are extremely loose on the foot but not the ankle luckily. The issue worthy of losing points is the indigo dye. I hand washed the pants according to the instructions and my tub was very blue after, it comes out so no worries. But the pants continued to make my legs blue and even the cotton socks I purchased from Harvest and Mill. The socks are undyed but over time the indigo washed off and they only have a slight blue hue to them. I put them through my washer on cold and delicate settings, after a couple more washes after wearing over the weeks the pants finally stopped bleeding out color. I still am not bothered by this that much, I love indigo natural dyes, but no warning on the website is what bothers me. This wasnt a little bit of dye bleeding out, it was a lot and enough to turn my entire lower body blue and the socks, and my toilet seat when I sat down. If I had been warned I wouldnt have cared. Dont wash with anything but dark/similar colors or hand wash to increase the life span. Also a tiny hole has formed in the crotch right next to a seam but the threading is all fine so it looks like the fabric itself either wore out there and ripped or it wasnt fully sewn under the seam. Its too small for me to care but I hope I get many years from these lounge pants. Sustainability also means long lasting. Even after the color struggle I would happily order again, the pants and socks are comfy and the indigo dye really is beautiful! I just hope they make more styles because the options are limited.

The company’s values are great. The entire production chain is based in the United States, from the cotton farms to the family-owned factories. All their clothes are made from organic cotton, which is grown using eco-friendlier techniques. They also don’t use any plastic packaging! On their site, you can read about their mission and commitment to sustainability and ethical production. I have the long sleeve top and lounge pants. They’re super comfortable, and the quality is great. However, the fabric of the pants was thinner than I expected (not sheer though!) and were quite long. In the future, I do want to try their socks and the heavier weight joggers. One thing to consider is the prices; Tshirts are $48+ and the hoodies are $185. The socks are more reasonable at $11 per pair and 3-packs are $30. I suppose this is the true cost of running a sustainable and ethical clothing brand! If it’s in your budget, and you want to support a company with an incredible mission, I would absolutely try them out.
