How long is my outerwear covered by the RYE + WILLIAMS Lifetime Warranty?

Our Lifetime Warranty covers your outerwear for as long as you own and continue to wear it unaltered and under reasonable circumstances which we have discretion to determine.

We manufacture every outerwear to meet our superior quality standards, but no matter the quality, all outerwear will begin to show signs of age and wear such as faded fabric or frayed cuffs. Daily wear will result in the degradation of materials and finishing.

Practical lifetime of your outerwear depends on how often it was worn and how well it was cared for. We take this into consideration when assessing your warranty request. If we deem that your outerwear is not a material or manufacturing defect, your outerwear may have just reached its practical lifetime. The outerwear’s lifetime may be different from your personal lifetime.

What isn’t covered under warranty?

We get it. RYE + WILLIAMS clients are busy making stuff happen, and sometimes accidents do happen. Tears, rips or other damages to RYE + WILLIAMS products are not covered under our warranty. however, we will service these needs through our tailor & treatment team, and we will pass through our cost to you.

Improper care or not following the care instructions on the label inside your outerwear may result in damages that are not covered under our warranty. If we cannot repair your garment, we will make sure to notify you immediately.

Will tailoring or altering my outerwear void the warranty?

Yes, your outerwear will not be covered by our warranty, should you alter or tailor any part of the garment. Please also note that removing the tags from the inside of your outerwear will void the warranty.

How long will it take to get my product back?

We want to return your outerwear as quickly as possible so you can get back to your life out there. It typically takes 30 business days from the time we receive your product to the time we ship it back to you. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with any key considerations.

Miscellaneous Limitations and Exclusions

Further, the duration of the warranty may not apply to you because some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts.

Although this warranty gives you specific legal rights you may have additional rights depending on the applicable state laws.
