An Update on my Everlane Sweater and Silk Review and other Everlane items

I got a request for an update on the Everlane items I've reviewed in the past, specifically the one from this Everlane sweater and silk review.  Well from that post I only kept the cashmere sweaters and both the cropped crew neck and regular crew neck cashmere sweaters have been holding up really well.  No real noticeable pilling and I've worn them at least 2 days out of the week for the last couple of months (especially the gray one, which I do feel is the softest of the ones I have).  I probably wear my grey one the most and then the burgundy cashmere sweater.  I don't actually wear the cropped ones (I have the black and light rose donegal in the cropped version) even though I do like the style.  I had a comment from a reader that the the cashmere sweaters wrinkle easily and I do find that if I kind of crumple it in my bag that it does get wrinkled a bit, but nothing that stays permanent.  I just wore it again and it was fine, though I do make sure I fold it and try not to crush it in my bag anymore.  I can't really comment about the silk shirt since I don't wear it too often but it has survived a couple wears and a dry cleaning just fine.

I wear this sweater a lot! &nbsp;Pilling isn't too terrible.

Another Everlane product I wear constantly is their Modern Point shoes.  I've actually stopped wearing all my other Everlane shoes because this one is hands down my favorite.  I love both the look and the fit.  And I'm thinking of ordering another pair when they eventually restock it (which I'm pretty sure they are since I saw a restocking date sometime in March or April).

Oh, and I'm still using Everlane's Petra Magazine Tote and it's holding up just fine.  There's a bit of a fold where the canvas pockets kind of weigh down on the bag but it's nothing major.  And no stains or color transfer.  

Having gone back through all my reviews, it's interesting to see that though I've tried a lot of items from Everlane I ended up returning a lot of them.  And of those I did keep I only love a handful of items.  But these special few items are on heavy rotation in my wardrobe and they all are holding up great.  As far as I can tell, Everlane is keeping true to their word on quality and I'm excited to see what this new year brings for Everlane.
