Test owning less and better. See how it feels to #repeat and get more from a go-to sweater.
Celebrate The Freeing #Repeat Movement
The idea that when we find outfits we love, we wear them over and over again isn’t a revelation. In fact, there’s a term for it called your “personal uniform”, which has been reported on by publications such as Vox, The Wall Street Journal, and CNBC.
Let's celebrate the shift away from environmentally unsustainable fast fashion and towards #repeat styles.
More Than 300 People Have Completed The Challenge!

FAQ
After signing up, we'll send you an application. It's pretty quick - we want to know what sweater you're most interested in testing. We also want to know why you're interested in becoming a field tester.
It depends on the application, but in general, we're looking for people who share a belief in our mission, want to help us make the best go-to sweaters possible, and want to help educate our community about the sweaters/share what we're working on.
We review applications every day, and we'll follow up with you in about a week. We accept 2 people each month to field test our sweaters. We'll always keep you updated on who is taking the challenge and the feedback we receive.
We have a limited number of sweaters to test each month, so current customers are not eligible for the field tester program. If you're a current customer, you can still take the 1-Week Challenge and earn a separate, exclusive reward. If you haven't received the invite, email us at team@oliver-charles.com, and we'll get you started asap.
We accept 2 field testers out of around 200 applicants every month. Ordering is still the only way to guarantee yourself an Oliver Charles sweater and a spot in the 1-Week Challenge. For completing the challenge, we give existing customers a $50 refund and a 20% discount on a second sweater.
If you're selected to be a Field Tester, you'll be invited to take the 1-Week Challenge:
Wear your sweater for 1-week straight.
Document the process by uploading 7 photos. 1 photo for every day.
Brownie points for posting on your social.
Upon completion create a short video testimonial about your experience.
Complete the 1-Week Challenge within 30 days of receiving the sweater.
We've got you covered. We'll send you a text message where you can document your experience. Brownie points for post on your own social. Tag @oliver.charles.clothing, #repeat to keep us in the loop, build the community, and inspire others.
You can take the 1-Week Challenge 1 time per sweater. However, we hope you'll continue challenging your wardrobe and testing our sweaters for years to come.
When you finish the challenge, please first double check that you have uploaded all 7 photos and your video testimonial. Upon completing the challenge, we'll reach out to learn about what we can do to improve our sweaters... and of course, send you your reward.
