I didn’t get the quality the brand promised. The buggiest disappointment is in the underwear, both bras and panties had to be thrown away after just 6 months of wear because all elastic elements lost all their elasticity and were looking really bad. Surprisingly some underwear from mass market stores lasted longer. The two cotton T-shirts I ordered for now still look ok. The underwear which has visible elastic elements should be avoided when buying from Organic Basics.
I bought some underwear and bras a while back, and still have some of it in rotation. The bras didn't have enough support for me 32DD, but the underwear worked out. Comfy and has survived a couple of years at this point! Not the most flattering fit for my body under clothing, unfortunately, so mostly wearing them to sleep in.
I own a pair of their Tencel shorts which I love, but their sports pieces are ill fitting and simply uncomfortable.
I got several TENCEL™ Lite Boxers, a SilverTech™ Boxers 2-pack, the SilverTech™ T-Shirt, and the recycled cashmere gloves-beanie-scarf-set. The boxers are fine, though I am worried they won't last more than two years. The quality seems to be on par with, say, Calvin Klein's, nothing special. The TENCEL™ ones in black are starting to bleach out after several washes. Additionally, the t-shirt lost shape after some months. It got really bad after a year or so. It looks ridiculous now. On another note, I can't tell whether SilverTech™ is just marketing or actually working. The gloves, beanie and scarf, on the other hand, seem to be high quality. [Edit: a little over a year after buying the gloves, the material dissolved on the tip of both thumbs, leaving holes.] Finally, the customer support was super helpful: One of the boxers had a manufacturing error and I got a gift card without any hassle. Overall, the garments are overpriced and the brand cannot do justice to its mission of sustainability if their clothes don't last longer.
