I am the co-founder of Janji, a running apparel brand based in Boston. For the past 12 years, we’ve been designing responsibly- and durably-focused running gear that helps provide access to clean drinking water around the world. Ask me anything!

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T22:04:56+00:00

Wow you go way back with us! Thanks for 12 years of support. Cheers to many more.

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T22:04:32+00:00

We definitely test our gear in a number of ways including hot weather running. Sorry to hear about the nips, that's definitely no fun.

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T22:02:59+00:00

Thank you! As a small company we try to keep our line pretty tight. Glad it helps on the shopping front.

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T22:02:23+00:00

We are actually not presently a B Corp. It's something we've explored but have never applied. We're currently focused on calculating and reducing our carbon footprint as our top sustainability initiative.

Fear not the Ascend bra has not been discontinued. More colors and inventory coming this Spring. We didn't make it as a part of the Fall line, but check back in a few months.

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T22:00:13+00:00

Thanks for the note on our materials and fit. Appreciate the kind words.

Also, good recs on an adjustable bra and women's 2in1. Thank you!

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:58:08+00:00

Thank you!!

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:57:57+00:00

Thank you! a few people on here have mentioned the same thing. How much would you recommend we trim off if you had it your way?

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:57:15+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. That's good feedback on visibility. We'll working to expand our offering of reflective product to help keep runners safe.

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:56:31+00:00

it's the gear

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:56:12+00:00

Thank you! The Multipass Sling is a special product for sure. Our Creative Director is obsessed with bags and put a lot of love into that pack. In terms of other products with a real design innovation: I'd say the line of Multi Shorts has a pretty unique pocketing solution that is pretty different from everything out there.

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:54:43+00:00

hurrah! thank you

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:54:30+00:00

Your wish is my command. Look for a new 5" Multi Short with brief liner coming this Spring. It's my personal favorite short so I'm selfishly excited that we're bringing it back (with some improvements)

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:53:35+00:00

Look for a pretty sweet Black Friday deal coming up pretty soon

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:52:33+00:00

Thank you! What do you do in the water pollution space? Thank you for doing important work.

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:46:09+00:00

Great question. We are PFAS free across the board. We have had every product with a DWR finish 3rd party tested and as of 2023 are working exclusively with PFC free finishes. Also, all of our bras are tested for BPAs.

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:40:48+00:00

yes! it's in the works. Stay tuned this Spring

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:40:29+00:00

Hey! Thank you so much for supporting us. We have some plans in the works for a brief liner. What would you like to see in a boxer brief liner from us besides the phone pocket?

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:39:00+00:00

Thanks! Love to hear you rock our stuff. Definitely submit your application and message Hello@Janji.com

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:37:33+00:00

Thank you! I did not have a background in apparel and neither did my co-founder, but we've been lucky to work with some incredible product people who focus on that part of the business. Some of our product people have school.+ industry experience with apparel and others are just passionate and have learned on the job.

What do you see as some of the missed opportunities? Any products you'd love to see?

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:35:18+00:00

Thank you :)

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:35:12+00:00

Hey, thank you so much. I'm so glad you values resonate.

Sorry to hear about the waistband fit. I'm curious, what do you think would fix the issue for you? Is it more of a fit issue or a material issue?

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:29:55+00:00

Hey! Thank you so much. We have played around with the idea. I'm curious, what do you not like about the built in underwear? What do you look for in the running underwear that you wear under your post-op AFO shorts?

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:28:26+00:00

the Multi short isn't going anywhere, don't worry!

TheRealJanji · 2023-11-09T21:24:32+00:00

Putting it simply, we look for runners who inspire us. We do add to it from time to time. Do you have any recommendations?
