Safe to wear, but rough on the environment.
Best for Safe to wear; production isn't clean — donate when done.
This product scored 61/100 on the material-quality rubric (durability, comfort, breathability, warmth, moisture-wicking, care-ease), based on its composition of 70% Cotton, 30% Polyester. Sustainability is scored separately as the Eco Rating. Blended from 70% Cotton, 30% Polyester — the score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.
C (55-69): Average material composition — typical blend, reasonable for everyday wear.
Average quality, high synthetic content
Decent for everyday wear, but the synthetic content means microplastic shedding and it won't biodegrade. Consider natural alternatives for your next purchase.
Below-typical fabric quality, but cheaper than the category median.
Fabric value only — compares material quality to price vs other sweaters. Construction, fit, and brand aren't measured.

Sustainability is scored separately — see the Eco Rating below.
Every wash of synthetic fabric releases up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into waterways. Use a Guppyfriend bag to catch them.
This fabric will take 200+ years to decompose. That means a shirt you buy today will still exist in the year 2226.
Synthetic fabrics can contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. Studies have found BPA transferring to skin through sweat contact.
Brushed knit — warm, soft
Reasonable cost-per-wear
Base for Sweaters: 100 expected wears.
× 1.00 for Cotton (mid-durability fiber, durability 68).
= 100 expected wears. $99 ÷ 100 ≈ 99¢/wear.
Missing GSM — this is a category-level estimate, not garment-specific. Expect ±30% variance.
Real life is messier than a formula: how often you wash, how you wash, whether you wear it inside-out, dry on low — all of it shifts the number. This is the ceiling under reasonable care.
