PRODUCT & BRAND QUESTIONS
Best friends and business partners for over 20 years, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott founded THE GREAT. in 2015. To learn more about their story and timeline, please visit our About Us Page HERE.
Each season, we use various dye techniques to create our unique colors. We use the pigment dye method to achieve our vintage look with the intentional color loss you may be experiencing. This method places the dye on the fabrics surface and washes away gradually with each wash. Over time and with each wash it evolves into a worn-in vintage appearance. We recommend washing before wear, to avoid color transfer onto the skin or other surfaces. To maintain this look, wash with like colors and oxi-clean agents should be avoided. Eventually, the garment will settle in, releasing less pigment with each wash. Embrace the process!
The split on the left cuff is an intentional part of the design! Every College Sweatshirt features our signature, vintage-inspired rip to add to its beloved worn-in charm.
We are known for our cozy, vintage-inspired knit tees, sweatpants, and sweatshirts. We created a Tees & Sweats Fit Guide that compares our various styles and helps you understand how they’re intended to fit so you can choose the best fit for your needs.
We do not offer tailoring or hemming on denim at this time, but we do take time to explain the technical components of each piece in the product descriptions to hopefully guide your decision-making. If you need further assistance in choosing the right piece, reach out to us at hello@thisisthegreat.com and we’d be happy to answer any questions you may have or offer more guidance around fit and feel.
