67/100
Safe to wear, but rough on the environment.
Best for Safe to wear; production isn't clean — donate when done.
This product scored 67/100 on the material-quality rubric (durability, comfort, breathability, warmth, moisture-wicking, care-ease), based on its composition of 55% Ramie, 45% Cotton. Sustainability is scored separately as the Eco Rating. Blended from 55% Ramie, 45% Cotton — the score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.
C (55-69): Average material composition — typical blend, reasonable for everyday wear.
Everyday quality
This fabric does the job for daily wear. Not premium, not bad — it's the middle of the road. Follow care instructions carefully to extend its life.
Better-than-typical fabric, but priced above the category median.
Fabric value only — compares material quality to price vs other sweaters. Construction, fit, and brand aren't measured.

All-natural fiber

Sustainability is scored separately — see the Eco Rating below.
Cotton biodegrades in 1-5 months. When you're done with this, it returns to the earth — not the ocean.
Cotton absorbs moisture but doesn't wick it. Great for a hot day, terrible for hiking — you'll stay wet.
Reasonable cost-per-wear
Base for Sweaters: 100 expected wears.
× 1.00 for Ramie (mid-durability fiber, durability 72).
= 100 expected wears. $139 ÷ 100 ≈ $1.39/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.
