What to know about We the Free
An in-house line, not a label
We The Free is Free People's own basics line under Philadelphia retail group URBN, sold through freepeople.com, FP stores and wholesale rather than its own shops.
Treatments do the work
Rigid and vintage-wash denim, washed tees, thermals and workwear jackets are finished with garment dyes, distressing and other hand-touched processes.
The cheaper end of Free People
It sits at the accessible price end of the Free People assortment, covering wardrobe staples like jeans and t-shirts rather than statement bohemian pieces.

| Jeans & denim | mixed | varies from slim rigid to relaxed vintage cuts | Rigid denim may feel snug initially and stretch with wear, so consider true size and expect break-in. |
| Jackets | slightly large | relaxed workwear-style, roomy for layering | Size down if you prefer a trimmer fit, or keep true size for layering. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | relaxed, often boxy or slouchy | Consider your usual size or sizing down if you want a less oversized look. |
