Label Confidence

MODERATE

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

  • Organic cotton claim without explicit certification (GOTS, OCS). Check brand's certification disclosures separately.

Why this material grade?

This product scored 72/100 on the 7-axis material rubric, based on its composition of 92% Organic Cotton, 8% Spandex. Blended from 92% Organic Cotton, 8% Spandex — the score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.

B (70-84): Good material composition — above average across most axes.

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.

Composition

92% Organic Cotton, 8% Spandex

Good quality, eco-friendly

Solid fabric with strong environmental credentials. Organic Cotton (92%) is doing the heavy lifting. This is a smart buy.

🌍

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

🧺

Dryer heat destroys spandex/elastane over time. Your leggings and stretchy clothes will last 2x longer if you skip the dryer.
