My Experience with Perfect Threads

I’m a big bargain hunter and often shop at second hand stores in my town (many of these places have unique gems that you just can’t find at a typical department store). The price is right but it often takes tons of time, sorting. I’ve always wanted to try online resale since it’s less of a hassle, and when Perfect Threads offered me some products to review, I jumped at the chance!

Perfect Threads started in 2013, with the goal of allowing mothers across Canada to buy, sell, and donate gently-used kids clothes. As the company grew, they started working with religious institutions, schools, charities, organized clubs and sports teams—all of whom provide the donations. Still a favorite in Canada, those of us who are in the U.S. can also shop.

They are community-minded and support fund-raising through clothing collection. I really like their three key objectives:

  1. Help religious institutions (churches, mosques, synagogues, temples etc… ), sports teams/clubs, elementary schools or any organization that needed to raise funds, to be able to do so easily.
  2. Continue to provide a marketplace for people to purchase quality like-new and new clothing at an affordable price.
  3. Continue to support charities and donate both children and adult clothing to women’s shelters, as well as to Goodwill and the Salvation Army.
 
 Perfect Threads has clothing in most every size, from women’s to toddlers. There is a good mix of adult and kids, plus a decent amount of clearance items. The site is easy to search by brand or size. I selected a brown jacket and a gray and purple striped sweater. They also have a section for used Lego sets which is wonderful. I ordered a small Star Warts Lego set that included both the instructions and all the pieces

Ordering was easy and my package arrived within days and was exactly as described—no fading, no smells, or tears. The items weren’t brand new, but they were still stylish and wearable. Best of all, I didn’t even have to leave home.

Anyone looking for a quality resale product that’s both fashionable and affordable should check out Perfect Threads.

My Experience with Kosher Casual

a3

When selecting new clothes, I look for items that are both modest and stylish.  This can be challenging and when I find a brand that works, I love to stick with it!

One of my favorite companies is Kosher Casual. Long time readers will remember when they sponsored a giveaway. Recently, they offered me a chance to do a product review.

Kosher Casual is a bit different than most modest clothing retailers. They follow modern fashion trends. Nothing is out of date or frumpy. Recognizing that we all have a different set of standards, there is a range from slightly modest to full coverage, allowing for a personalized feel.

I spent quite a while browsing on their site. It was so hard to narrow down my selection! There are tons of pretty skirts, tops, dresses, and accessories. After careful deliberation, I chose a 3/4 sleeve T-shirt.

This is how it looks on the site.

I was attracted to this particular top because it came in my all-time favorite shade of purple (there are 11 additional shades available). It’s 100% combed cotton, with a super-soft, lightweight feel. It’s machine washable, which is a huge plus. It’s narrow-banded and gently clings, but is not too tight or revealing.

I always have a hard time selecting sizes online. I ended up going with a small. Because Kosher Casual clothing is manufactured in Israel, they use Mediterranean sizing, which is smaller than U.S. cuts. Accordingly, you should order at least one size up and possibly 2 sizes for clingy pieces.

The small fit me fine, and was actually roomy. The neckline, length, and sleeves are perfect—no riding up. It’s great on its own or would work as a layering piece. At a reasonably priced $15.00, I can buy many more colors! I’d love to see it offered in a long-sleeve version for winter, too.
