Here it is! The second item in Zady’s “essential collection”: the .02 organic cotton t-shirt; read more about the process and mission at Zady, and why organic cotton is important by watching The True Cost fashion documentary if you haven’t already (hint hint!!).
I received mine on Monday (Zady sent it to me to review) and I wore it all day yesterday with this Raquel Allegra skirt I got on sale at La Garconne. I got the skirt a week ago after searching for it on sale AFTER trying it on locally and falling in lust…I love it so much, and have worn it a couple other ways besides this one. I don’t love this t-shirt with it, but I wanted to wear the skirt yesterday AND the t-shirt, so here we go. I’ll post another outfit with the skirt this week, but if you’ve looked at it or thought about ordering it at all, do not hesitate while it’s on sale! I promise you won’t regret it…
About the t-shirt. I like it. I think it’s a great t-shirt for the money, especially that it’s organic cotton, made in the US. They really paid attention to detail on this, to make it different; not just a plain white t-shirt, you know? But for me, there might be too many details. I’d love it more if the sleeves were shorter (I do not like the rolled sleeves that are everywhere lately!), the pocket were gone, and it was more fitted/shorter. I am a huge fan of the baseball hem, and that it’s longer in the back, but it’s just all a bit too much on me. For my style/size/body shape anyway. And I’m not sure sizing down would work, because as you can tell, it’s already rather fitted at my hips.
If you’re a straighter body -type and like t-shirts with longer sleeves and a longer hemline, then this may be your perfect white t-shirt. It’s a wonderful soft cotton, not so white it’s blinding (which is good…) and a great roomy fit in the top. I will absolutely wear this often – it will look much better with my skinny jeans – but it’s not necessarily my HG white t-shirt.
Who else ordered the Zady .02 organic cotton t-shirt? What do you think about it?
I love the skirt! The t-shirt is so-so. I’m also not a fan of t-shirt sleeves that need to be rolled up, and the neckline is too high. Somehow, it lacks definition. Although I don’t think that’s a fashion word.
thanks! the sleeves are already rolled, and tacked up. i like a shorter sleeve on me, even sleeveless is more flattering i think, than the sleeve length that hits me on the widest part of my arm…
that’s a good way to put it though- that it lacks definition. makes sense !
What size did you get? I’m still waiting for mine but there’s been no mention of when they’ll be shipping other than “mid-June”. I ordered size Small in Grey.
It’s a medium. Yeah. I was sort of surprised they didn’t communicate a little better when to expect anything. Last I knew it was mid-may for the first run.
I’m a sleever roller. It’s always been my thing. I can’t ever recall a time when I didn’t roll up sleeve – short or long.
What kills me is when the very few things that I do, that I consider unique to me, somehow become a trendy or mainstream “in fashion” thing. Great. Because once that fad trend passes & I want to keep doing my usual routine (like sleeve rolling-upping), then I look like I’m desperately hanging onto a passing fad.
Can’t ever win. LOL
I live to find this length tee since I’m so long waisted! nice
Actually, this looks like just the tee I would like, so thank you for reviewing it!
Also, I wish Zady would get more of these sneakers in stock, because I would snatch up a pair:

didn’t you pre-order one?
yeah, those sneakers kill me. i was actually going to order a pair when they first added them, like a day or two after, and my size was already sold out in the white/white. then i thought. really? do i NEED those? no. but i’d sure love a pair LOL even the gold pair. they are so cool
I ended up not pre-ordering it. And now I’m the last person to actually read the Marie Kendo book and decided that I don’t need any more t-shirts anyway. 😉
haha! well, it’s a good thing then 🙂
I ordered mine AGES ago, but no signs of shipping yet. I went with the navy since I already have multiple Everlane tees in white and black. The pocket is the detail I’m most unsure about, but hopefully it will work.
By the way, I just got the Splendid maxi dress that you posted about last week. I’m counting on it stretching out a bit because while it’s so so comfy, it’s also pretty form fitting right now. I’m also amazed that you’re able to wear it without hemming — I’m 5’7″ and I feel like I can’t wear it without wedges.

i dried it! i think i might have washed it in hot water and then dried it, actually…to shorten it. and my booty raises the hem up a little 😉
it DEFINITELY stretches. give it time!!
Not quite last…I still haven’t read it, Jen. But I think I’m using her principles to purge my closet.
I think you got it when you said “too many details,” Grechen. I like a simpler design.
***Oh, as an aside, did anyone else notice that Virginia Johnson is not going to be doing scarves anymore? She sent out an emailing this week and I quickly purchased a great scarf of hers from ebay! Sad…
UGH. and everything on her site is 30% off. i had one in my cart, but i’m not buying…i can’t right now. although i’ve ALWAYS WANTED THE CAMEL print.
I love the camel print!
Any chance of you doing a white t-shirt head-to-head comparison? Zady, J. Crew, Everyone – or whatever suits your fancy? I’d love to see it:).<3

yes…i’m supposed to be working on that 😉
Is the white T-shirt see-through? It’s so difficult to find one that doesn’t.
i don’t find it see-through, but i have a high tolerance for that – i don’t care if my bra/skin shows through a little bit. that said, this one definitely has more coverage to it than other organic cotton t-shirts i’ve tried.
