I have a few more items to review from my latest Factory visit.

~ Classic Button-Down Shirt in Flannel, Dark Chambray, Medium ~
I loved this blue color with the white pop. The shirt was also very comfortable. It’s not heavy but lightweight for flannel. The Medium fit well, which is my normal Factory shirt size. Unfortunately it’s not quite a color fit for my closet so I passed on it.
~ Homespun Popover Shirt, Barnett Plaid, Small ~
I loved this shirt. I originally thought it was Linen but instead is Cotton. It looks familiar and I think I may have bought this for my niece in August. Twins! This was almost sold through in-store and it’s probably because it’s lightweight enough for Central Texas Fall weather. I tried on a Small and luckily it fit with just a tiny little bit of snug in the upper arms.
~ Ribbed Knit Sweater-Dress, Heather Flannel, Small ~
This dress was an unexpected surprise. I would layer under it rather than over it. The Small fit well so I would say to size down, as my normal size is Medium. I liked the Heather Flannel and it also comes in black. Add a little Spanx and this is a great easy dress to wear.
 
~ Owl Collector Tee, Medium ~
If you’re still into the graphic or sequin tee this is a cute one to get. The sequins are mostly white with a little brown outline and around the eyes and nose. Also, the Elephant Tee is a exact dupe of the retail version. Almost like the cut out the tag and replaced it with a Factory tag. I did get another of those as I love wearing mine a lot.
~ 3″ Boardwalk Pull-on Short, Dark Forest, size 8 ~
I’m not sure if this color has sold out online or was an in-store only color. It’s a gorgeous Forest Green IRL. I also saw the Autumn Crimson and it’s just as saturated and perfect for Fall. The size 8 was the best fit on me. I was able to pull the waistband down a little so the 3-inch inseam isn’t that short.
 
~ Classic Wool Fedora, Burnished Brown ~
I absolutely loved this Fedora and it came home with me. The brown does read a little more on the red/burgundy side. I wish the Heather Carbon had been in-store as I might have chosen that one as well. It also comes in black.
That’s it for my Factory arrivals from a few weeks ago. Early Access for the latest October roll-out happened today so everything will be accessible tomorrow. I didn’t really see anything I needed to had to have. I hope I can make it to the Factory store again soon so I can the new arrivals IRL.

What do you think of these items? Or are you happy to see new arrivals at the Factory?

Today, I’m starting with the Factory Metallic Elephant Sweatshirt. When I was shopping around the Factory store I tried to make a simple outfit with items so the reviews were a little more concise. Next time I’ll try to add shoes!

The sizes I am wearing now…
Shirts/Sweatshirts/Sweaters: 8/Medium
Pants/Jeans/Skirts/Shorts: 8/29, preferably short inseam

~ Metallic Elephant Sweatshirt, Medium ~

Despite wearing a Small, at times, in retail sweatshirts, I am consistently a Medium in Factory sweatshirts. This sweatshirt is no different, especially since I layered the Homespun Popover Shirt with it. I ordered this sweatshirt during the Early Access and now know I’ll be happy with it. I didn’t get the retail tee for myself but did for MamaBella. She loves hers. The metallic elephant seems about the same on both the tee and sweatshirt. The fit is true-to-size, especially if you layer. The material isn’t too thick or heavy either. Pretty standard for the Factory.

~ Homespun Popover Shirt, White Plaid, Medium ~

This color is not available online. The material is a light and airy but not gauzy. It’s looking a little big on me in the sleeve length and through the body but the arms and shoulders felt nice. I probably would try a Small if I was going to wear this by itself. But since I would probably layer it, the Medium is fine for me. 

~ Corey Wash Straight & Narrow Jean, 29S ~
These are the Factory Matchstick Jeans. The “short” inseam equals 31 inches so I’d need to have these hemmed. The fit is ok, but I’ve worn a 30 in the past in the Matchstick Jeans. There is a little stretch to them so they might fit a little more comfortable after a few hours. I’m all set on denim for a while. 
 

I haven’t been to the Factory in a long time. Promos were ranging from 30-40% off – (30% – Shirts, Knits) (40% – Skirts, Winnie Pant) ($10 off Quilted Vests). The sale section was pretty big and an additional 50% off, if I recall. Dresses may have also been 40% off. 
Were you able to see the new Factory items over the weekend? If not, I’ll have a few more reviews coming in the next few days!
