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

love their whole running collection! each design is so thoughtful which makes their products very practical to use
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.
Excellent running apparel. Most of the clothing has an everyday look to it so you can finish your run and head to the brewery or cafe without changing. It's made of high quality materials and is extremely comfortable. Customer service is great.
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.
My boyfriend ordered multiple items from tracksmith and his favorite was the mesh tank, which he wore continuously after purchasing. It’s a sophisticated, deep navy mesh material and it’s sturdy but very breathable and lightweight. He kept some shorts, as well, that are flattering on his 6’ 3”, 175 lb frame.
Love their clothing - really high quality and very stylish.
It is so expensive for what it is. I find a lot of the styles cool but then the sizing is extremely tiny. I'm not a big person but was a large in Tracksmith gear. What! I usually wear a 4. Its good quality and the shorts I have bought held up pretty well, so in fairness maybe I would have gone through two shorts in that time. Still it just feels like a lot of money to spend at one time. Some of the gear I've tried I've returned right away. The sports bras aren't good unless you don't have any boobs at all.
Tracksmith trail shorts: Extremely durable and excellent for trail runs of all distances. The built in liner with pockets are great for phone and keys, and easily accessible during the run. No chafing either! Back pockets holds fuel and sunglasses well. I probably have hundreds of miles on mine and they’re only showing minimal wear and tear. Newer version runs quite small, so size up.
Good lord how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: you’re designed by runners for runners, it’s designed in Boston (they get wet cold and windy), it’s so preppy it hurts. Honestly planning a trip to Boston just to try things on in person.
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
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.

I love their grayboy shirts - they have become my running staple. I love the cut and they have a retro feel. I’m also a fan of their sports bra because you can stash your phone and forget about It when running. I also like how they use every day athletes in imagery and helps with sizing. Their customer service is excellent - very thoughtful, responsive, and it doesn’t feel like a chat bot. They have a strong mission and they live up that. I’m impressed that they hired professional runners like Mary Cain to represent the brand and that they started a Fellowship where they give grants to creatives. This is a brand that I’m very loyal to.

Some of the shirts shrink if you do not pay careful attention to care instructions. I’ve also had issues with sizing for the leggings, but they are very receptive to feedback and make changes based on customer feedback which is impressive.
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.

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.
