As I get older I try to be more conscious about the clothes that I buy for both myself and the kids. I want to invest in classic pieces that will stand the test of time.
I’ve long been a fan of J.Crew for a number of reasons. Their clothes are stylish yet classic and the quality of the clothes in top notch. I have tops from J.Crew that have been in my closest since college and I’m still wearing them.
Most of the clothes in Harlan’s closet are from crewcuts, their children’s line. Although their prices are a bit higher than other children’s retail shops, I don’t mind spending more knowing that Avery will wear the clothes just a few years later.
While J. Crew continues to produce high quality and stylish clothes, there is also another reason to love the brand. J.Crew supports a number of non-profit organizations with originally designed clothing items. One hundred percent of the net profits from the Garments for Good collection will go to the charity that they partner with.
Their latest collaboration is to help raise awareness for the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
Since 1977, the Kenyan charity rescues and protects orphaned elephants and rhinos in East Africa from ivory poaching and extinction.
Since the organization’s work is so inspiring- and the elephant is the unofficial mascot of crewcuts, J.Crew wanted to support the Trust’s effort with a special new t-shirt for crewcuts. To date, they’ve successfully rescued, hand raised and rehabilitated over 150 elephant orphans before reintegrating them back into the wild.
