Label Confidence
MODERATELabel confidence moderate โ one signal suggests the composition may be incomplete or under-verified.
- โ Composition only sums to 46% โ remaining material is undisclosed (likely lining or padding).
Why this material grade?
This product scored 34/100 on the 7-axis material rubric, based on its composition of 46% Wool.
F (<40): Low-rated material composition โ consider alternatives.
What this score doesn't measure
- รFiber grade. Staple length, micronaire, strength. "100% cotton" could be short-staple upland or long-staple Pima โ same label, very different fabric.
- รYarn processing. Singles count, ply (single vs two-ply), spinning method (open-end vs ring-spun vs compact), mercerization. Invisible from any label.
- รKnit / weave structure. Single jersey vs interlock, knit tightness. A loose knit pills; a tight knit lasts.
- รFabric weight (GSM). One construction signal among several โ and high GSM can come from loose cheap yarn just as easily as from fine tight yarn. We have it for blank manufacturers, rarely for retail.
- รPre-shrink processing. Sanforized cotton shrinks ~1%; non-sanforized can shrink up to 10%. Not visible from the composition tag.
- รConstruction quality. Stitch density (SPI), seam types, collar geometry, manufacturing tolerances (AQL). These often matter more than the fiber itself.
- รSpecific chemical loads. Health Impact flags "likely PFAS / possible formaldehyde" from composition ร category โ we don't lab-test individual SKUs.
We rate the fabric, not the garment. Composition is the floor of what you're guaranteed to be getting โ most shoppers don't have that.
Low quality โ skip if you can
This scores poorly across the board. It likely won't last, may not be comfortable, and has significant environmental impact. Your money goes further with better materials.
The fashion industry produces 10% of global carbon emissions โ more than aviation and shipping combined.
Wool is naturally antibacterial and self-cleaning. You can air it out between wears instead of washing โ it'll stay fresh.
