I went to my nearest Ref store today to try on pieces since the sale just dropped to 50%. I've been really disappointed by the quality of the last few items I bought from past Ref sales, so I wanted to try on before buying since the sales are final....I am so glad I did because the clothes are SO bad!

I tried on nearly 20 items and it's shocking how poor the quality of the clothes are. Most of the linen pieces I tried were paper-thin and see-through. There's no construction and the fit is quite literally a potato sack.

I was worried about pieces selling out, but with their lack of quality control it's not worth the gamble.

Linen pieces: Frankie Linen Dress, Fernando Linen Pants, Gisele Low-Rise Linen Pants, Annika Linen Top, Lilah Linen Pants, Nora Linen Short (the Indie Linen Top and Birdie Linen dress, both in white, were the only linen piece that weren't paper thin but still had awkward fits)

Other items: Collie Cotton shorts and Oversized Cotton Crew, Alex Mid-rise Pants

Recently I've noticed that Ref items that are made in the USA tend to be of nicer quality.

Are there are any other (especially sale) items made in the US that people recommend?

The site does include this info in the Material and Care panel but there's no filter for this to easily find items based on this, especially since this can vary by color too.
