Pants are decent. Overpriced at $180 for canvas. Then charged $12.99 for shipping, and a $20.00 transaction fee. I wouldn't buy again.

Hey Fred --
Thanks so much for your honest & frank feedback. All feedback is honored and taken into account here at Imperfects.
Our prices reflect our commitment to fair, livable wages, organic cotton canvas, sustainable factory partnerships, and handcrafted goods. Our returns fee goes straight to our warehouse employees working to process returns and keep things going -- we understand it feels high and we will absolutely take that into account as we grow.
We would love to get you a discount code if you ever want to give us another go. Please shoot us a message at [email protected]!
With gratitude,
Imperfects Team

Echoing prior reviews
Echoing prior reviews, processing and shipment was slow, sizing was at least 1/2 size off (medium jacket), and return policy was a total joke. Would not even do an exchange after 30 days (xmas present). Their marketing vibe is all Cali-cool-artisanal, while their customer service is BS big-box fine print. Buyer beware.

Hey Jon --
Thanks so much for your feedback - good or bad, we appreciate it and take it into account.
In this case, we couldn't facilitate an exchange as it was outside of our 30-day return policy.
Our 30-day exchange window is in place to make sure customers have a fair amount of time to receive and try their purchase, while also allowing us to keep inventory accurate and ensure returned items remain in good condition for other customers. This helps us maintain consistent pricing and product availability - we are genuinely such a small crew over here at Imperfects and it is impossible for us to provide the type of returns policies that huge companies like Amazon do!
That all being said, we totally understand your frustration and would love to make this right. We're going to shoot you an email now.
All the best,
Imperfects Team

The Name Says it All -- Imperfects
This independent San Diego apparel brand has a lot of appeal: utilitarian design, quality materials, a distinctive logo and identity. Unfortunately, the brand name proves prophetic — Imperfects.
Sizing is wildly inconsistent. Although I am usually true-to-size, the pants in my order were oversized in the waist, leg, and length, while a T-shirt from the same order ran extremely small. The discrepancies made it impossible to determine whether sizing down or switching styles would fix the issue.
When I reached out to customer support for help, nobody was home. Multiple emails went unanswered, with no guidance available on fit, sizing, or next steps. Additionally, Imperfects charges a $40 fee to process refunds, even when items do not fit as expected. Rather than supporting the customer, Imperfects places responsibility for their sizing issues on the customer, with its “some of your money back” guarantee and refund policy.
Delivery was also slower than expected, taking nine days from order placement to in-state delivery. Combined with the inconsistent sizing and nonexistent support, the overall experience was disappointing and, well, imperfect.
Most similar brands cover return shipping when an item doesn’t fit but Imperfects imposes a substantial refund fee, the most onerous I’ve encountered with any online retailer. Exchanging items in hopes of a better fit, when they get around to sending you your order, feels risky. I won’t be returning to Imperfects. The name says it all.

Hey Herman --
So sorry we've just gotten back to ya. We're incredibly bummed you've had such a negative experience and we'd love to make it right as best we can.
We have definitely learned a ton as we've grown, and we're open to owning our mistakes and making changes to get better service to our customers - the lifeblood of our business! We've brought on more customer service agents to decrease response time, as well as more warehouse staff to decrease the window between placing an order + receiving it. As a small business, we are always working to use our resources to the best of our ability to ensure customer satisfaction. We're so sorry we missed the mark.
Please send us an email at [email protected] so we can try and make this right!
All the Best,
Support Team at Imperfects

Suspect quality and service
Bought a shirt and pair of their courier pants, loved both but the pants basically fell apart after less than a year.
There is a metal buckle in the back that snapped (had to sew a fix) and a few months later the entire inseam just ripped wide open. No response from support

Zero Customer Service
The clothes are made well, the tag says in China. The fit is inaccurate. To return or even exchange anything is impossible. You wait weeks for someone to return an email, if they do at all. Then communication is ten back and forths at least because your question isn't actually read. There is no phone number. On their return portal there is no spot to return for money back) only store credit). The return fee is exorbitant, like $40.

Only make a purchase if you are certain…
Only make a purchase if you are certain about the product. They have a zero return policy. I can’t even get someone to talk to to discuss other options. After an initial email asking about a possible return, I have been ghosted. They won’t return my emails.

Really disappointing return policy
Really disappointing return policy. They sell clothes online which you can’t try on and won’t give you a monetary refund when clothes don’t fit. Very poor customer service. Hold your money hostage. Don’t buy things from them
