Shopping online means you can't try it on first. We get that. If something doesn't work, we'll make it right.
The basics:
- 30 days from delivery to start a return or exchange
- Items must be unworn, unwashed, and in original condition with tags attached
- Sale items are final sale — no exceptions
- Gift cards and select grooming/personal care items are non-returnable
Exchanges:
We'd rather get you the right thing than give you your money back. If you need a different size or color, start an exchange and we'll get the right one out to you.
How to start a return or exchange:
Email us at info@thesimplemanstore.com with your order number and what you'd like to do. We'll take it from there.
Refunds:
Once we receive and inspect your return, we'll process your refund within 5–7 business days back to your original payment method. You'll get a confirmation email when it's done.
We offer free shipping on all orders over $125.

A Manual for Doing Things Right
There's a certain satisfaction to doing something with your hands and doing it correctly. Not hacking through it. Not googling halfway through and giving up. Actually knowing how to do it right, start to finish, the way it's supposed to be done.
The Kaufmann Mercantile Guide collects a range of those skills -- splitting wood, shucking an oyster, tying knots, curing leather, building a fire -- and presents them with the kind of clear, considered instruction that makes you actually want to try.
Beautifully illustrated and genuinely useful. Browse more books and gifts for men or check out our full home goods and gift selection.
