MY ITEM ARRIVED NOT IN THE CONDITION IT WAS STATED AS?
With the nature of vintage, all items have been previously worn. However, we always try to state/photograph any significant defects in the item description. Please bear in mind that defects to the inside of an item, or tiny nicks/marks that may be missed during the photography stage do not count as significant damage.
If you have an item in question, please firstly check back the product listing you purchased. If the damage is significant and not stated, please contact us immediately via sales@northworkshop.co.uk with your name, order number and photographs of the damage.
Much of our stock dates back decades and we are always sourcing pieces with unique characteristics achieved with time and wear. With our range of vintage workwear and Levi's, we deliberately source pieces that are distressed and in our opinion, beautifully aged. These imperfections are what makes our stock unique and reinforces each item being one of one.
We will not accept any requests that we cover a return shipping cost on items that are intended to have distressed characteristics.
THE ITEM I ORDERED DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO THE SIZE IT WAS STATED AS?
Due to the nature of second-hand clothing, there are clear discrepancies in sizing. This is because of many reasons, which include but are not limited to: washing, shrinking/stretching and variations of styles throughout different eras. For example, a size medium from the 1980's will fit differently to a size medium from the 1990's. Sizes typically also vary between different brand labels, for example a Screen Stars large tag may differ slightly to a Jerzees large tag.
We will always state what the products actual 'size label states', as well as our 'recommended size'. This is particularly apparent with our range of vintage trousers, especially Levi's jeans, whereby the fit has changed over time and the badge is therefore not accurate to the actual measurements.
Please note that vintage sizing is subjective and we therefore cannot be held accountable for the size we list our products as. We strongly advise that you use our product measurements provided on each product listing. Please note that all measurements are taken when the item is laid on a flat surface and are there as a guide for customers. We cannot be held accountable for minor discrepancies in measurements.
