Label Confidence

MODERATE

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

  • ⚠Composition only sums to 51% β€” remaining material is undisclosed (likely lining or padding).

Why this material grade?

This product scored 24/100 on the 7-axis material rubric, based on its composition of 36% Acrylic, 10% Nylon, 5% Wool. Blended from 36% Acrylic, 10% Nylon, 5% Wool β€” the score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.

F (<40): Low-rated material composition β€” consider alternatives.

What this score doesn't measure

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

Low quality β€” 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.

⚠️

Synthetic fabrics can contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. Studies have found BPA transferring to skin through sweat contact.

🌍

This fabric will take 200+ years to decompose. That means a shirt you buy today will still exist in the year 2226.

πŸ‘

Wool is naturally antibacterial and self-cleaning. You can air it out between wears instead of washing β€” it'll stay fresh.
