Orders
5 questionsHow do I know my order was received?
After checkout, an order confirmation is sent to the email or phone number used at checkout.
If it doesn't arrive, check your spam or promotions folder first.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Orders can enter fulfillment quickly, so changes or cancellations can't be guaranteed after purchase.
[FINAL CANCELLATION POLICY]
I entered the wrong shipping address. What should I do?
Contact support as soon as possible with your order number and the correction.
Address changes can't be guaranteed once fulfillment has started or the package is with the carrier.
Can I add an item to an order I already placed?
[ORDER MODIFICATION POLICY]
If orders can't be modified after checkout, place a separate order for the new item.
Why did I receive more than one package?
Some orders ship separately depending on inventory location, preorder status, or how the order is fulfilled.
Products
7 questionsWhere can I see all available products?
Every active product is on the Shop All page, filterable by classification, category, size and status.
What does “Active” mean?
Active means the product is currently available within the FAMILY OF FAILURES product system.
What does “Archived” mean?
Archived means the product remains part of the brand record but isn't available for standard purchase.
What does “Sold out” mean?
The available inventory for that product or variant is gone. A sold-out product may stay visible as part of the Archive.
Will sold-out items restock?
Restocks are not guaranteed. Where restock alerts are available, you can sign up for one on the product page.
Are product colors exactly the same as they appear online?
We work to show color as accurately as possible, but screen settings, lighting, photography and material variation can affect how a color appears.
Where can I find materials and construction details?
Each product page lists confirmed material, fit, construction and care information where available.
Size + fit
5 questionsHow do I know what size to order?
Check the product's fit designation and its garment-specific measurements.
Do all FAMILY OF FAILURES products fit the same?
No. Silhouettes may be fitted, standard, relaxed, oversized, cropped, wide or stacked. Always check the individual product page.
What if I'm between sizes?
Compare the product measurements with a similar garment you already own, then choose based on the fit you prefer.
Do you provide model sizing?
Where available, product pages list the model's height, the size worn and the fit shown.
Are size charts body or garment measurements?
Every chart is labeled. Garment measurements describe the actual garment, not your body.
Preorders
6 questionsWhat is a preorder?
A preorder lets you buy a product before standard fulfillment begins. The estimated shipping window is shown on the product page.
When will my preorder ship?
Within the estimated shipping window shown on the product page and in your order record. Each preorder has its own window.
Can preorder dates change?
Production or logistics conditions can sometimes affect estimated timelines. If a material change happens, you'll be updated using the contact information on your order.

The system
7 questionsWhat does FC mean?
FC stands for Failure Classification. Each number identifies a specific record within the FAMILY OF FAILURES system.

One of the active classifications in Drop 001 — The First Failure.

FC-007 / Rupture
An active Drop 001 classification representing the break point in the first documented sequence.
What is FC-010?
FC-010 / Rebuild
The active classification representing reconstruction after the break.
What are FC-001 through FC-010?
They make up the broader Failure Classification System. Only FC-003, FC-007 and FC-010 are active today.
Does every classification have clothing?
No. A classification can exist within the system before it is activated through a product or collection.
Why does my product have a classification number?
It connects the garment to its concept, its drop, and the permanent FAMILY OF FAILURES record.

Why keep sold-out products online?
Because FAMILY OF FAILURES treats each release as part of an evolving record, not disposable inventory.
