I'm obsessed with the waffle knit wool shirt I purchased - I've worn it for most of my runs this winter! It really does keep me warmer, even when sweaty, and true to their promise, it can be worn many times before needing a wash.
I wish they were more size-inclusive! I hacked it and went with a men's size since women's sizing ends around a size 8-10, but the running community is more diverse than ever before.
Brilliant and comfortable product. So nice I bought twice and they're definitely worth the price. They fit me so well that I don't remember if I'm wearing anything while running. Maybe that's a bad thing but that's how they feel, man.
Love their clothing - really high quality and very stylish.
Coming from Boston, this felt like a “hometown” brand. Runners are the focus with amazing quality, unique “strong” colors with highlights and focus on performance. I own the shorts and one shirt that all perform excellent. Feels boutique when running!
Sizing is still a bit of a challenge but works. The OG Longfellow shorts have no drawstring so are a bit baggy as I lost weight
I love what Tracksmith does and I love their fellowship program and how they impact running culture. I've ordered some shorts from them though and haven't loved it, although I really recommend their run commute pants.
Easily my favorite running apparel brand. Basically the only shorts I run in and have for a couple of years. I will say the other feedback to the cuts and fit are definitely right, especially with tops the cuts seem to be very specific to a body type so it's hit or miss with tops but again the shorts are a staple for me.
The cut seems to be specifically for a taller/lanky build and would love to see more of a box cut options in certain SKUs
I've had mixed experiences with Tracksmith, but what I do have I _love_. The run shorts I have are the best I've ever had and I'll continue to buy them from Tracksmith. I had a merino sweatshirt from them that shrank an unbelievable amount even though I washed it like I wash all my merino. And I tried a pair of leggings and skin tight shorts... the cut was just so off. Tight in the thighs, loose in the waist. So basically, they're hit or miss, but when they succeed, they hit the ball out of the park.
Big let down/not for me. I have purchased a few things and have sent back. Not impressed with the quality and design. I purchased a hoodie fleece and it had a bad zipper and stitching throughout and was not soft or comfortable. Shorts fit strangely as well. Have a few merino long sleeves that I kept but there are folks out there doing better work with merino.
I have a few Tracksmith items - the Turnover tights, brighton base layer long sleeve, van cortlandt tee, and van cortlandt shorts. Except for the shorts, the other items are hands down my favorite running clothing. I was looking for tights that don’t fall down while I run — and the turnover tights really don’t! I’ve never had to pull up the waist mid run. They do look a little funny on with no center seam, but it’s a look worth getting used to. I find the brighton long sleeve and the van cortlandt tee to be very breathable and also flattering on my somewhat athletic build. The van cortlandt shorts are the only product that don’t work well for me due to buying too small a size on final sale. They run small, unfortunately.
It took me a bit of digging and reaching out to customer service (who was very helpful) to understand the difference between some of their products, particularly the leggings. A comparison chart would be really helpful. I think the sizing range could also stand to be more inclusive.
