We have many styles that feature phone pockets. You can view the "Features" tab on each product page to find out which pockets are offered for each style. Our phone pockets are designed to fit a standard phone measuring up to 6.06 inches diagonally.

The phone pocket is designed for a snug fit to prevent unwanted jostling of the phone during a run or other activity. Given the close fit, you may need to remove your phone case depending on how much this adds to the size of the phone. Once the case is removed if needed, you can insert the phone diagonally into the pocket and use the stretch of the fabric to ease the other end of the phone into the pocket until it is enclosed. Inserting diagonally allows the phone to fit into pockets with an opening that may be shorter than the full length of the phone. Please reach out to support@tracksmith.com with additional questions.

You can find our size chart by navigating to the webpage of your product of interest and selecting GUIDE located beside the size selection for the product you are viewing. Once the guide pops up, you can select Size Guide to view recommended body measurements for each size. We recommend using a tape measure to measure your waist, hip, etc, in order to find the size that best aligns with your body measurements. If you are between two sizes, we typically recommend selecting the larger size.

The Garment Measurements tab shows the dimensions of the garment and does not account for on-body stretch of the fabric. For objective measurements such as inseam, these garment measurements can be helpful. 

We’re happy to answer any questions regarding fit. Please write to us at support@tracksmith.com. 

We do our best to restock products as fast as we can. It is typically on a seasonal basis. If we do not have an estimated restocking date for a particular product you can sign up to be notified when the item returns. To do so, please select the size and color of interest, then submit your email address in the Enter your email box right below the size selection. If you sign up to be notified, we will offer early access for you to purchase the product before it sells out again.

Unfortunately, some colors and styles may not be restocked if a limited edition item or a seasonal colorway. For these items, you can still sign up for notifications in case an item becomes available through returns. 

We’re happy to issue store credit for any price difference given that the order for the item(s) was placed within 7 days of the price change. Please email us at support@tracksmith.com with your order number and all details regarding your price adjustment request. 

We are pleased to offer our signature Van Cortlandt styles in youth sizes as part of our Turkey Trot collection. You can find garment measurements for each item by viewing the GUIDE located on the youth product page. You can compare our garment measurements to well-fitting items that you own to find the best fit. Based on customer feedback, our kid's Van Cortlandt styles may run slightly small and shorter in length, depending on desired fit. For this reason, we recommend sizing up if in between sizes, or for a more relaxed fit.

Crafting performance apparel for the competitive runner requires a relentless pursuit of the best materials and manufacturers. From our Massachusetts-made Varsity Cotton to our lightweight, Swiss-made Eliot Stretch fabric, we scour the globe for materials that perform for the garment’s specific function. Our factory relationships are critical - we work tirelessly to find the best global partners and push one another to deliver the highest quality product possible. We work closely with manufacturers in Europe (currently Poland and Portugal), Asia (currently China, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Vietnam) and North America (currently Canada and USA). We expect all our manufacturing partners to adhere to the highest supply chain standards and require adherence to our Code of Conduct as a prerequisite of doing business. This Code of Conduct requires a commitment to social responsibility (including fair wages and protection of workers’ rights), environmental responsibility and transparency. Our complete vendor code of conduct is available here. For more information on How We Work please visit this page or for questions please email lee@tracksmith.com.
