Label Confidence

MODERATE

Label confidence moderate — one signal suggests the composition may be incomplete or under-verified.

⚠Composition only sums to 47% — remaining material is undisclosed (likely lining or padding).

Why this material grade?

This product scored 31/100 on the 7-axis material rubric, based on its composition of 47% Cotton.

F (<40): Low-rated material composition — consider alternatives.

What this score doesn't measure

×Fiber grade. Staple length, micronaire, strength. "100% cotton" could be short-staple upland or long-staple Pima — same label, very different fabric.
×Yarn processing. Singles count, ply (single vs two-ply), spinning method (open-end vs ring-spun vs compact), mercerization. Invisible from any label.
×Knit / weave structure. Single jersey vs interlock, knit tightness. A loose knit pills; a tight knit lasts.
×Fabric weight (GSM). One construction signal among several — 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.
×Pre-shrink processing. Sanforized cotton shrinks ~1%; non-sanforized can shrink up to 10%. Not visible from the composition tag.
×Construction quality. Stitch density (SPI), seam types, collar geometry, manufacturing tolerances (AQL). These often matter more than the fiber itself.
×Specific chemical loads. Health Impact flags "likely PFAS / possible formaldehyde" from composition × category — 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 — most shoppers don't have that.

Low quality — 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.

🌱

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.
