F.E. Castleberry utilizes a pre-order/made-to-measure model for most of our product. This is done in a concentrated effort to reduce the preposterous amount of waste that fashion brands produce and destroy. Each year, an estimated 100 billion items of clothing are made—approximately 20% of that goes unsold, destined for incineration or landfills.
Our conviction, from the beginning, has always been to buy less, but buy better. We believe that classic is beautiful. That working with the best materials is fundamental. That great design never goes out of style. Utilizing a pre-order model ensures we get to make a high-quality product, manufacture only exactly what is needed, and do less harm to the environment…all while, at the very same time, ensuring the best price for you as our customer.
