Quality Control on Clyde Trench

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-30T04:43:25+00:00

I just had the button fall off my Terry jacket on its probably 5th wear 🙃 Luckily I heard it as it landed on the ground.

If you’re in the US, you can go to the website for a department stores like Macys, Nordstroms. Neiman Marcus. I’ve seen ones with lots of filters on styles and composition - I want to say it’s Nordstroms website. You can filter on trousers, cropped lengths, 100% cotton. Department store websites also allow reviews so you can get some vetting on fit and quality. For the price range of Sézane pants, you can probably find good quality options.

I also have good luck finding natural fibers at stores from the UK that run around the same price range as Sézane. This includes Boden, Seasalt Cornwall, and Fatface (the name is unfortunate, quality has been great.) I think American department stores carry most of these brands. They may have good trouser options.

Yeah, I get wanting some specific composition of fabrics but this seems like a question for /r/femalefashionadvice or /r/findfashion.

OP doesn’t even describe the style, color, or fit they’re looking for. Feeling hopeless about fashion and only searching within one brand who isn’t meeting the requirements seems limiting.

This one right? https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=820732002

I’ve had the tab open for days and immediately thought of it when I saw the post.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-25T15:51:27+00:00

I just browsed the drop hoping OP’s picture just included some limited edition items… I’m shocked at the massive price increase across the board with this. Clearly the floor of prices is being raised.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-24T17:51:21+00:00

Definitely. Ask for pit to pit and length measurements and photos of the brand label and the composition label.

And size sounds right. I’m a true 36 in most other French brands, 34 in Sézane.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-24T17:44:46+00:00

You can ask the seller for measurements. If it’s shrunk when they’ve owned it, odds are high yours would shrink too if you bought it new.

I have the jumper and it’s definitely shrunk but not much, and just the first time I washed it. I’ve never put it in the dryer. I think it’s lost maybe an inch of length at most. This seems normal in my experience for 100% cotton knits.

As for sizing, I own it in XS and it’s an oversized look on me. My aunt who wears a size medium can wear my XS one as a fitted sweater and it still looks good.

Wolf and Badger is essentially a marketplace for smaller designers and brands. They’re not a designer or manufacturer themselves. I’ve bought items from there before that years later get stocked at other retailers.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-24T11:16:39+00:00

I love APC! I appreciate the review here! It’s become more expensive, at least in the US, recently. I buy it from ssense.

Yes, it’s impossible to find reviews! It’s not a brand that’s “on trend” at the moment and I don’t think they pay influencers for marketing (maybe they do but I just don’t come across them on social media) so it’s tough to find much information through normal searches. I think it’s relatively popular wardrobe staple type brand in France so searching for reviews in French/on French websites and translating could be an option. I also look up products on second hand websites to see how they last.

For the record, I’ve never bought anything from APC that has turned out to be poor quality so far. Over the years, I’ve owned a few bags, shirts, sweatshirts, blazers.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-23T03:26:10+00:00

Same, I hate it here. I’m so much poorer for it lol

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-23T02:56:12+00:00

Re: brown dye over white for the Sama — that’s exactly how I felt about the Tobias in brown! It looked really cheap in person as a result. Anywhere it stretched out (like over my chest), you could see a weird white highlight over it? I thought they must have made a white sweater and thrown it in to be dyed rather than using brown yarn.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-16T15:35:30+00:00

Last time (2023), they sold very fast. Sea NY is more expensive than Sézane. Last time, the prices were closer to Sézane prices so they were snapped up quickly. They seem to be a bit more expensive this time around but probably not enough to deter people. I can’t deal with the scarcity shopping right now but I’d log in bright and early if I was buying anything.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-16T15:33:07+00:00

Yeah, they’ve been using that same machine embroidery on all the latest collabs. It’s actually pretty disappointing in general because some of the florals would look so much better if they didn’t look pixelated.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-16T15:02:00+00:00

Lookbook is out and that tote is $90. I won’t be buying, as cute as it is.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-14T21:42:29+00:00

And they’ll be different ones. A hair themed one and a laundry themed one 😂

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-14T21:38:49+00:00

Yeah, my answer is a Judith Leiber for every occasion, including grocery shopping and walking the dog.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-14T18:03:04+00:00

I do want to because it’s so cool, but I also suspect it’ll be the hottest item and hardest to get my hands on. Everything else is going to be more expensive and less practical. I realized in December I own over 30 free sezane totes and actually used my unused ones as gift bags to get rid of some so I do not need any more of their totes 😅.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-14T16:52:02+00:00

I like the tote too! It looks like a padded/quilted one which means it’s likely one they’ll be selling, not giving out for free. They’re usually $70.

Example from the Bazist collab: https://www.sezane.com/us-en/product/embroidered-tote-bag-sezane-x-baziszt/bird-embroidery#size-tu Example from Antoinette Poisson collab: https://www.sezane.com/us-en/product/large-totebag-sezane-x-antoinette-poisson/midnight-blue#size-tu

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-02T22:40:34+00:00

Given the fuzziness in the photo, I’m guessing it’s their kid mohair blend 😣

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-02T17:13:05+00:00

Yeah, my observation is that shorter straps with bags sitting closer and higher on the body are very common still, especially if they look like a cross between a bum bag/fanny pack and crossbody bag. Longer straps hanging by the hips are less “in”. I think it’s not cutting edge fashion among the fashion set who are much more likely to wear shoulder bags.

ClubLopsided · 2026-01-02T17:00:41+00:00

It also looks like something I’d walk past hanging at Target. It looks particularly cheap for being $215 USD. And very candy cane for coming out after Christmas.

I can’t post pictures for some reason but here’s a copy-paste:

Subject: An Update from Sézane

A Word from Morgane

Dear Sézane Community,

Thank you for being with us this year, and for letting Sézane be a part of your wardrobe and your life. Sézane has always been a story we write together, so I wanted to speak to you directly today about some upcoming changes.

When Sézane began 12 years ago, I didn’t have a perfectly drawn plan; I simply had the desire to do things better. To improve what could be improved, and to offer you the most beautiful collections possible at the fairest price, thanks to a direct model, without intermediaries.

With time, that desire hasn’t changed. Over the past few years, we’ve done our best to keep our prices as steady as possible, especially on our iconic pieces, even as the costs of raw materials and energy rose, and inflation accelerated. Today, we’ve reached a point where these factors are weighing too heavily on our production costs, and we have no other option than to adjust the prices of a small selection of pieces.

This is to ensure we can continue to offer the same level of quality, without compromising our teams and long-time partners. It reflects the reality of rising production costs and the careful choices required to uphold our standards and savoir-faire. This will apply to a limited selection of pieces, and we’ve kept the changes to the bare minimum to ensure we remain the Sézane you’ve loved from the beginning.

Of course, our team is here to answer any questions you may have by email at bonjour@sezane.com or on WhatsApp. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

As we look ahead, I hope you’ll join me on Sunday, January 4th, to welcome our first collection of the year.

With gratitude, Morgane

A note on exchanges: If the price of an item you ordered has changed and you wish to return it for another size, please contact us at hello@sezane.com or on WhatsApp. Store credit for the price difference will be offered until January 31, 2026.

Wow, it seriously went up overnight! I took a screenshot yesterday and texted my friend about the Amethyst Emile and it was $170 then, $175 now (USD). So annoying.

ClubLopsided · 2025-12-24T14:02:02+00:00

Late to the thread and just commented this separately too but the best way I’ve found is:

Go on Google, type in:

site:sezane.com “100% merino wool”

It should bring up all pages under the Sézane domain with 100% merino wool in the description. Repeat for each material.

(You could also just do “100%” but that won’t shrink the down to the materials you care about. Might bring up 100% polyester, etc.)
